Meh - she got lucky. I'm happy for ayu though. it's nice to know that Mirrorcle World is another #1 in her discography.

Digital sales, there are rankings and certifications (by RIAJ) but no numbers. Overseas sales, there aren't any official sales numbers (except for in Korea)

CHAS_AYU · #**383** 14th April 2008, 04:46 PM

I hope there are official number for overseas sales too.

Catzi · #**384** 14th April 2008, 04:49 PM

Wouldn't it make sense for more people to buy stuff when it's the weekend? o.O So, it would make sense for her sales to increase, since people have more time during the weekend to go shopping.

It's good that she got #1 again. =]

What I think might have also contributed to the sudden rise in sales, is that maybe people were not very aware that this was an anniversary single. Maybe they just thought it was a regular single release. As the word got out that this was in fact a "special single" of sorts, more and more people became interested in checking out. Usually things that are "special" and "bests" and "celebratory" sell quite a bit more because its supposed to be something that has had a lot of effort put into it.

Well I have to correct you, this week is over, tomorrow a new week is starting (Mirrorcle World's 2nd week) so the sales and rankings of the week will be up tomorrow already along with the new week dailies. XD

can't find the thread but they were already giving those, they just "enhanced" the offer.

I have to go with halle on this:

if there is a such a thing, why wouldn't they have worked their "Avex magic" on GUILTY? there was only a small difference to Kobukuro & I think the album #1 streak was much more of a big deal.

much more logical explanation for the sales peaks is the tour. lots of people who don't buy singles go to her tours and probably after seeing mirrorcle world live (and getting the promo message about the single) decide then to buy it.

besides , saturday & sunday are the biggest sales days besides the debut date anyways. I don't see anything weird about the sales figures.

bokutachi · #**390** 14th April 2008, 05:56 PM

waaaa

#1 again!!!!!

~*Mabushii*~ · #**391** 14th April 2008, 06:25 PM

Wooo! back to number one and a rather nice sales boost! ^_^ super happy for you Ayu!!

roanmy · #**392** 14th April 2008, 06:34 PM

Congratulations, Ayu.

CHAS_AYU · #**393** 14th April 2008, 07:05 PM

Hope Mirrorcle World will get 50K -60K in the 2nd week.

That's what I call "marketing tactics".

It can be simply done by putting pretty&nice bonuses and other stuffs on the product(Its really effective on record sales) and the result: Thousands of customers.

JinHamasaki · #**396** 14th April 2008, 07:21 PM

Yeah I don't believe in avex hocus pocus....

But those extra prizes + the advertising on Shibuya 109 + concert (after all, Mirrorcle World was the ending song for the concert portion, and Depend on you was sung!) = big sales. Besides, look at the spike in the album chart with YUI and EXILE, and I guess the Shuschi craze died a little (Sunday sales should be higher than Saturdays).

And if there was avex magic, they should have done it for GUILTY album and Daybreak single (if they did it for Daybreak I think her single record would beat Seiko's!)

Edit: If Daybreak was #1, her record would be 26 straight #1's O.O

Lanz16 · #**397** 14th April 2008, 07:31 PM

^ I think Japanese REALLY loves first presses and surprise gifts on record products.
I believe that AVEX did their job to make Ayu's #1 singles "alive" in charts.

And this is what im thinking of now, "why AVEX didn't do it on GUILTY?"

@JinHamasaki
So true if that 'Daybreak' re-cut single become #1, Ayu would have 26 STRAIGHT #1s today!

ownsarai · #**398** 14th April 2008, 07:42 PM

Congratulations to Ayu for regaining her rightful #1 position!

tokyoxjapanxfan · #**399** 14th April 2008, 07:53 PM

good, all is right in the world.

now i hope this single lingers on the charts a little ;P

#**400** 14th April 2008, 07:59 PM

avex didn't do anything. I think that the rise of sales, like everyone else said, was the concerts, new special CD and maybe the poster at Shibuya. I also really think it was something to do with respect. People might have bought multiple copies (not just the fanboys) and bought it even they don't really like the song that much. I mean, this is Ayumi Hamasaki - the best selling Japanese female artist. And on a worldwide scale, not just Japan, the most well known Japanese singer.

That last sentence could be argued over, but I really think so. Maybe Utada, but that's only because of all Kingdom Hearts stuff.

Anyways, yay #1! I feel so refreshed~
