The 3rd Official Oricon Thread of Sunrise／Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～ -rollin' the GAME-

[TITANIC]

i think everything is released during new year holiday will do better than other days. i.e All ayu's album release end of december or 1st january are doing verywell except NEXT LEVEL release on 25th march
thats what I think. thats why D/G does very well because of new year holiday bump the sales

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

^either way... downloads own physical sales U___U


I hope this new single is awesomely beautiful and gets heaps of physical sales *-*





btw, pre-ordered all 3 versions already

B'z sales have also dropped a lot, their last studio album barely managed to reach 440k (considering it's debut sales were around 290k) though I guess their Ichizen xD single boosted their popularity a bit.

[KarenPang]

I'm curious to see whether MAGIC's able to sell better than 2007's ACTION

they only put like what 2-4 singles in each album of theirs but yeah Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE really did very well despite being released in 1 edition

MY LONELY TOWN is stuggling to cross the 250K mark at this point in time despite being released in 2 editions . Then again it didn't had a big tie in as compared to Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE since the 1st A-side was used for the BUZZER BEAT drama while for DIVE , it was used to promote Suzuki's Swift compact car

[njanjayrp]

^ Considering the sales of BURN! and their previous album sales, I think that Ichibu to Zenbu / DIVE had the same effect on MY LONELY TOWN's sales as Flavor of Life had on Beautiful World. I guess the album sales could really go both ways xD

[KarenPang]

that's true . Then again I'm not familiar with B'z's previous sales performances since I only got aboard their stuff just this year in Aug so I'm not in a position to comment on it

they release an album once every 2 years or so & they don't put out on a yearly basis so maybe sales for MAGIC will be good

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

^LOL u guys speak in English I dunno what u talkin 'bout xD

lol jks

[Andrenekoi]

I would take digital music over physical any day^^

[aura~]

Oricon and such have to start counting digital sales...

[Crystal_Ageha]

Definitely. I know that it's nice to see how many "real" copies were sold, but in this day and age, we definitely need a main chart that shows total sales, as in, digital or physical. Especially since they're currently only counting something that isn't selling nearly as high anymore as the other.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

They should have some chart called Oricon Digital or something xD so we could see all of the digital sales by themselves plus physical sales as well

[Meat Pao]

We already have Billboard Japan though, but they still count Oricon as the main chart after all xD

[Crystal_Ageha]

Billboard JP might as well not count at all. Who actually uses it?

so now it may have sold around 45K?

woww O___O

that is soo bad!! D:

and I thought Sunrise/Sunset did pretty meh xD


I wonder why kuu fans didn't support her a bit more with this single... uhmm does she have a fanclub like ayu's?? how many members approx.if there is one?

[Maemi]

110k is more than good at the times like these some albums never reach that number

[Crystal_Ageha]

Lol at the random Kumi. >.>
And yes, Alive / Physical thing did horrible, for someone like Kumi. In total, it's sold a little less than 50k. Bleh. I think this single deserved it. I kinda don't wanna talk about that or Sunrise / Sunset again after the next release, lol. >_>'

Is everybody as surprised as I that it got pretty well over 100k? It is good for how things are right now... Although.... How sad, that we have to root for that for AYUMI, the empress. DDDD: Much luck to her next single, to at least break 150k!!! Am I right, guys!?

[KarenPang]

LOL I think everyone more or less were surprised that Sunrise/Sunset was able to crack 100K & above despite the horrible covers xD
