Guys, it's really crazy that she's hit #11 in the US! This Is The One only peaked at #18!! And I don't think Exodus was anywhere close. If she breaks into the Top 10, I'm gonna bust out into song and dance!
![]() And how can anyone be disappointed in those sales numbers?! Isn't that over double what Ayu's last album has sold in months? lmao [edit] ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by amorphose; 28th September 2016 at 05:38 PM. |

I expected more because she was on hiatus, on the other hand ayu constatly satures her fanbase with new songs it's naturally for her to sell less at less novelty

we have to keep in mind that this is her first physical release with new stuff for years. i think this is a major point referring to those sales. ! because the music is good, but nothing further, for me.

We'll see where it ends up, I guess! I'd be willing to bet it's Japan's #1 album of the year!
I'm honestly more impressed by how high it is charting worldwide. It's up to #9 now in the US. In the Top 10 and 20 in so many more. 5 continents! |

Why does it seem like EXILE releases a best like every other month?
Lol glad Fantome charted #1 daily. Listening to it right now and I really like what I'm hearing. |

I've just purchased the album from iTunes and it's currently at #6 in Spain!

![]() Her last original material was in 2008, not counting TiTO or the best of album. She's doing really well considering she was on hiatus. We'll just have to wait and see regarding day 2 sales. |

She has reached #7 on US Itunes.
![]() I was not expecting this AT ALL. Spoiler:
It has all 5 star reviews and Michi seems to be the most popular here. ![]() Last edited by EndOfTheWorld; 28th September 2016 at 09:26 PM. |

Finally getting to listen it. Blown away... I love it.

The important is not the first day sales, is the longevity. 87k copies on the first day is great, is 6k more than genic and im pretty sure it will have more longevity than Namie's album. She will sell between 170k and 230k probably, even more...
She will probably become the sollist with most sales this year. Sorry Kana and Namie lol

![]() (To be honest though, I'm not that interested in EXILE or EXILE TRIBE, I'm really tired of it. Sorry for being off-topic, but I heard EXILE TRIBE is forming another group, and then again, I reiterated I am NOT a supporter of the EXILE TRIBE family... Also I haven't listened to the album yet, too busy at school or something else, other than the fact I downloaded it off JPopsuki because this album is way too significant.) But who knows? Maybe Utada will get #1 for the week nonetheless? We'll see... |

Hikki announced the release date first. Then a week or two later EXILE announced the release of EXTREME BEST, and set a day ahead of hikki. You can decide whether they did it on purpose or not. (I think they did, but hikki doesn't really care) (This feels like back in 2001.03.28

Does Avex dislike Utada that much to do it twice?

I'm still waiting for my physical copy but I listened to the iTunes sample and I like them already.

Well that EXILE thing is nothing legendary like it was with A BEST vs. Distance. It was probably the most interesting week/month in the whole japanese music history. Obviously avex is taking a ride here again though. Not sure if fans of both feel competitive here though.
Now I just hope hikki wins but it's kind of hard with EXILE. I'm not complaining about the sales but it's kind of sad that even hikki can't get the sales like the most populars anymore (not say AKB48/arashi level). But actually, I hope for a great longevity for her so she might actually be! She always had great longevity. Anyway, half of the album is really great! My favorites are michi, ore no kanojo and yes... boukyaku. I know many of you hate it but I really liked it. The rapper is ok I guess I understood he is a model as well, but it kinda gives me kairo vibes and I love that song too. Fantome is a nice return. Not sure where to put it in the album's list yet except for the fact that it's better than First Love which I can say already but for me it's not hard to top First Love ![]() Will also buy the album next week when I'm in Japan. ![]() Going to help hikki oriconically ![]() Last edited by ayumisrael; 29th September 2016 at 06:47 AM. |

Utada is Japan's it-girl. Considering she's been on hiatus for practically 8 years, it's going to take a minute for everyone to catch up. But I do think it's a good sign that her first day sales were almost the same total as Ayu's last two albums' total combined sales. If Utada jumps back into single releases shortly after this, maybe something with a good tie-in like Flavor of Life, I have no doubt she'll go back to selling high again. Keep in mind that Utada was selling a million copies when everyone (including Namie) weren't cracking 500k.
