She hasn't looked this healthy and happy for ages. Not saying she was unhealthy but now she just glows with energy

Not so much that but unless you're already invested in someone you don't give a rats about their development.

Not seeing Ayu around makes people forget that she is around.

Ayu out of sight = Ayu out of mind and no matter how good the album is it won't be a chart topper without some visibility to the Japanese public.

Sure it's unfortunate for us to realise that as Ayu's fans who have followed her releases but your average Joe-san on the street doesn't have the time to spend on an untested product.

There's probably hundreds if not thousands of artists in Japan right now showing immense personal development in their works and we don't see or care about discovering them. Same goes for Ayu...

Someone please open an Oricon thread for A ONE

[ayumint]

[AyuGAME]

i wonder when she will release the digital track...it's really late to conquer the digital chart...

A ONE debuted at number 3 on oricon with 20,025 first day sales if I read correctly anyways: http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2015-04-07/

Maybe they're all greedy piggies that assume that "since you aren't fan enough to buy the Y10,000 pack, you don't have the right to hear it. NA!"

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Ah thanks anyway! If I get my TA version first (which I'd be surprised if I did) I can upload it.

Haha maybe the mail is just slow since everyone is going over tenso (+1 day pretty much) I suppose, I don't expect japanese fans to leak it.. Someone will receive it by tomorrow ^^

Seriously? Take a friggin' seat. No one is obligated to share it and even the Japanese fans JUST got their copies. I'm sure the vast majority of people are more interested in enjoying the album than uploading it.

And for the record, the track isn't exclusive to the boxset. It's on the standalone TA versions of the album.

Which you can only get if you buy the boxset.

Could have sworn I saw a TA version of the album without the box on mumo at some point. Thanks for clarifying. The rest of my comment stands, however.

[femtrooper]

I'm still happy that she is sitting in the top 3 for now...

She is still Ayu for goodness sake.

On that note, I have listened to the album in full and I LOVE it. Excellent stuff as always from our Queen!!!

[Ryusei]

I can't believe it I have the album and now I get some sort of fail message when I try to import the album to iTunes TT________TT This is pissing me off so much rn I wanted to listen to it before going to bed but now..
