Nice try, but it's only mid-day sales - it's only afternoon, and we still have the evening to come, and I think maybe that's the time when more fans are coming to record stores to buy Ayu's singles and support her and continue her #1 streak - if she gets #1 this week, then she would be one away from tying Seiko Matsuda's record - and remember that we also have to count in pre-order sales (such as sales from YesAsia and CDJapan)...

3,000 might think that's very low, but if it's mid-day sales, then it's just the beginning - usually at that time people don't buy music releases because most of the people are still working.

Why is it a nice try? I wasn't even trying anything. I almost died in a bad way until I saw that it was only mid-day sales.

I thought it was the actual sales at first and that's why I was shocked at first glance. I'm not that stupid not to read the rest of people's posts, hence why I saw the "mid-day" part.

yeah I'm very happy for my kids & they're behind BOOWY's Himuro Kyosuke whom DAIGO dubbed him as his god on his blog :O

I'm quite certain ayumi's able to outsell everyone since the mid day sales for the 1st day , she's already about 3-4:1 , ratio wise

then again anything goes so the no.s will be higher later on in the afternoon

[Bigtop]

And hey, where's the Hexagon All Stars?

The mid-day sales is kinda.. meh. But oh well as long as she's no. 1, she should be fine .

And I dun really feel that much from the preview of crossword. It doesn't really sound like songs like Replace/winding road (and I dun really like them anywayz). It does remind me of For My Dear... though. It's not about the melody, but it's the same feeling. The first time I heard FMD I thought it was very ugly, high pitch, bad melody blah blah. But I tried to watch the whole video once and actually found the song not too bad even though her singing skill still sucked at that time. I have no idea how this feeling will be back when I listen to the crossword preview tho..

Does it seem kind of strange that she's doing these 3 releases as a project? Couldn't she just have worked her way up to the big 50th slowly? I hope she's going to surprise us with something new like a mini-album of some sort.

She's trying to play "slow" there - I think she's trying to keep at a pace that she would release her 50th single at the busiest time - those so-called "end-of-the-year" music festivals and specials, such as the FNS Music Festival, NTV Best Artist, TV Asahi's Music Station Super Live, and the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen...

I hope the 49th gets more promotion and the 50th better have massive promotion! I really missed the magazines and TV lives for this one There could have been some awesome MOON lives, since she seems to do pretty well singing that song live from the RnRC tour fancams.

[Polyrhythm]

That makes sense....then I hope the 50th is something cool again like Rule cause her opening for Kouhaku last year was

[Tasked]

I just bought 2 copies of the single =) So +2 there for the rest of the day's sales.. Also I removed the promotional sticker from the CD and put it on the wall of the McDonald's in Harajuku.. SO maybe now more ppl will buy

[y_nathz]

oh well, it's nice to see her in #1 again, eventhough it's just the mid-day sales

wow.. yay promotion!

[aura~]

Again.. the 50th single will be released before or during the 7 days special concerts in october~ they stated that she will sing the new songs from 48th, 49th and 50th single there... so 50th won't be released in December... though it would be better for sales maybe... xD

[Ayumiko]

she can always release the 50th single after and still sing the new songs during the concert like MOON...it'll be like a special preview.

[truehappiness]

The concert was originally meant to be like a 50th single celebration, but I think CDL has that honor now, haha.

I nearly choked when I saw those numbers, luckily they're only midday sales!!!

What's realistic first day sales? 35K?
