by choosing "Depend On You" & "You" to be remade, i think she wants to dedicate this release to the fans who she can really depend on!

I have a feeling this single will break her no. 1 streak, just like the album did...

nah, dutie.

If she was up against ANYONE ELSE she would have won.

It's because Kobukuro has extraordinarily consistent sales.

Plus, GUILTY would have been number 1 for a week IF Oricon didn't plit it into two.

She has no competition so I pretty think she'll get another no.1.

When GUILTY was released kobukuro had an album on charts as well so she had a competition with them and lost because of the combination of the 2nd week.

Yeah, but the song is sort of re-cut... I think it'll have lower first week sales than talkin' to myself. So Ayu and ZARD are likely to be close, don't under-estimate ZARD

+MW is pretty rubbish to me right now. I have hope for Life though...

Do you even know the definition of a recut? O_o

Anyways, HMV states that the limited press of the CD+DVD versions and the regular press versions will be different..~

So that's like a total of 6 versions o-O?~

Hm... ayu has control of her career right? maybe she's releasing silly singles and albums when she knows she has fierce competition on purpose to break her streak. maybe she just doesn't care anymore, she's got pretty much everything you can think of from her career, perhaps by breaking the streaks she won't feel as pressured to do well anymore and she can enjoy her 10th year in the business more

mehhh.. just my two cents XD

Still though..

Estimating lower sales than t2m is kind of depressing. o_o;

t2m had her lowest first week since around her debut... I'm sure that this single will do at least better than t2m... maybe better than glitter?

Apparently ZARD went against Ayu with a 2A-single in 2004.

1 NEW STEP you/is this LOVE? 浜崎あゆみ 2005/04/20 AVT 164008
2 NEW 星のかがやきよ/夏を待つセイル(帆)のように ZARD 2005/04/20 BG 32788
Ayu outsold her by.. a loooott.

Here are all singles after that:
*6 - *19,905 *,*19,905 悲しいほど貴方が好き/カラッといこう! ZAR D
10 - *17,112 *17,112 ハートに火をつけて / ZARD
*2 -- *50,196 *,*50,196 *1 ZARD 「グロリアス マインド」

They tended to do moderately OKAY. Her death seemed to spark sales in all categories.

A recut is basically a song that was ripped from the album as is and rereleased on another single. [see BoA's Be the one, or Ayu's AUDIENCE, kanariya, Fly high, or Daybreak]~

Mirrorcle World has a ton of elements not found in the "original" introduction-sized version.. plus this version is resung.

I'm betting that ZARD will do okay. Since she's dead, her fans might be kind of like: "STOP RELEASING UGH SHE DIED LET HER REST IN PEACE ALREADY."

I love Mirrorcle World but this isn't exactly mainstream. That's probably what hampered T2M too. I'm sure the multiple versions ensure a decent first week though.

Btw, how've you been *****? Miss your crazyness.

I miss the craziness too. :\

Mirrorcle World is very much like 2001-Ayu. So what if it wasn't mainstream at the time? It still did incredibly well. And tbh, Mirror is less... "..." than t2m was. You wouldn't have ever thought Ayu would do a song like t2m, but... she did. Mirror/Mirrorcle World sounds like its very "Ayu" for some reason.

I sorta wanted to laugh at that but I realize that it would be really harsh of me to do that.

Anyway....

I'm not feelin' this single. It's like there's something missing from it. I think its another "rushed" ayumi single. *sigh* ZARD might overpower Ayumi for the 1st week. You know, I'm not even going to front but I want Ayumi to lose her #1 streak. I'm sorry...that's so mean of me! Eh...don't worry it's just how I'm feelin' about MW song.

I'm betting that the summer 10th anniversary single will be a 4A, which is why we ended up getting Mirrorcle World this time around. :]

COME ON AYU~

I really don't think the single will sell well. I don't know if it will break her #1 streak but I REALLY don't think it will sell well.

Hm.. I don't really get this negativity towards Ayu's sales. :\

I mean, she's only released 4 singles in the last two years, 3 of which did okay, and 1 that totally died for some reason. XD

I'm sure this single will do moderately well [definitely not STEP you sales of like 160,000 first week though..]~

But maybe 110-120k first week. To be so pessimistic about the sales is kinda strange... just buy a copy from HMV or CDJapan and you could be a part of the first week sales~

"I contributed to that~ "

Although honestly, talkin' 2 myself definitely wasn't a good measure for her "average first week" nowadays since her release patterns have been wonky the last few years. That and the fact that t2m was... scary-Ayu [short hair + emo-y]... might've scared off customers. XD
