Well, it's 14th September in Asia already ... (I mean it's 14th September now in America and 15th September in Asia) so the sales are very much as such but don't worry! I'm sure they'll go back up again. Afterall, the consumption of singles in Japan is so rapid it's very much possible that the ranking goes back up again.
Yup, weekly sales count so don't freak out! I'm very surprised too but I think it's more of the time when the sales come in. Even as the number of sales come in, people are still getting the single so yup, it'll definitely be higher! [edit]I've checked the Oricon Website ... yup, the sale results came in on 13th September, which basically means they aren't too reliable and accurate to gauge the sales results as of the moment. Technically, this means that the single "has not" debutted yet. Check the rankings again tomorrow. I'm sure HEAVEN would have moved up by then.

DON'T FREAK OUT PEOPLE! She may actually be #2 but most chances are she's #1. When the date actually changes to Sept. 14 the rankings will be different. I've seen this before, like I believe Gackt was underneath the ranking of Morning Musume in the dailies a day ahead of the actually release date and on the actually release date Gackt actually had more sales than Morning Musume for the actually release day. So don't worry peeps she might still be #1 but if not than still be happy that after so many years she still puts our music THIS GOOD.

I think this ranking is made with only the pre-order (the single was in store only today !!) It's tomorrow that HEAVEN will be N#1 ^^

OK PPL CALM DOWN....ITS NOT LIKE ITS THE END OF THE WORLD
DO U NO Y ITS AT #2 ON THE 1ST DAY??? THE REASON... currently the #1 spot is taken by a jpop boyband "Kanjani 8" from Johnny's Entertainment, the biggest boyband making machine in japan. does SMAP n Kinki Kids ring a bell to ne1? Johnny's Entertainment created those bands too. Kinki Kids has released 21 singles n all 21 singles have gone #1. as for Kanjani 8, im not too worried about their #1 spot, it will definietly fall over the week. why u may ask. well the reason is cos crazy fangirls will obviously support there idol on the very 1st day of release, every crazy fan (especially fans of bands) will buy there single/album on the 1st few days of release. for example: when the boyband w-inds. released there single a couple of weeks ago, there 1st day ranking was #2. when friday came, there single started to fall, down the charts until on monday they were at #9. im am almost certain ayu will b bak up to #1 latest by the weekend. besides, ayu has a much larger fan base than kanjani 8->they're 1 of the least popular groups out of Johnny's. note: in june there was a rumour in hk newspaper (it was translated from japanese) that Johnny's Entertainment had "special ties" with ORICON n that ORICON would always "favour" Johnny's groups in getting the #1 spot (1 of the reasons y Kinki Kids has gotten #1 singles on all their singles since their debut) this could b proven true if Kanjani 8 does get the #1 spot overall....i would think that would create A LOT of controversy, i mean ayu's single getting beaten by a boyband single??

OH man, that bites!!!! HEAVEN is such a beautiful song and the whole single seems to be well-rounded!!!! Don't worry though, maybe she will be No. 1 very soon...**taps into oricon charts and secretly places Ayu's name in the no. 1 spot, then tries to hide evidence of past records...** lol. jk. jk. But I am rooting for her all the way!!!!!! ^_^

Well, HEAVEN has received so much positive feedback on here that we can safely say it's a great song and will do well. But we can't expect her to be #1 all the time, every time. And she's #2, which is basically number 1. She would have been number one if it hadn't been for that other group's release at the same time. It doesn't make her worse or going down in fame, the release date was just not so good. And I'm sure HEAVEN will reach #1 by the end of the week, especially with people going to see the movie SHINOBI. By the way, when does that movie start? Maybe sales will pick up even more after that!

WOW !!! she's 2nd... I think that Ayu will do a great promo to sale her single and I think that she have to show her 2 songs : HEAVEN and Will not to bore everybody...
But we must care about Hikaru UTADA's brand new single... And look : compare the A-Best cover (during the previous UTADA/HAMASAKI round) with HEAVEN covers... very closed...^^ To be serious I don't want to see Ayu #1 the first week but during a longer time... If it's a last 2005 single, it must be saled until the album...

o_o. Be My Last will DEFINITELY be #1. xD Not that I'm a super Hikki fan, but it's a fact. As a few weeks go by, Ayu's sales will be lower than that of Be My Last's first day/week sales xD
Not really a big deal. Stupid Oricon and Kanjani. Zeo

^ sigh...if anything, blame the marketing. The only reason that Ayu's been getting no.1's is because the marketing, which prevents her going head to head with artists like B/z, Mr.Children, OR, UTADA HIKARU etc. Of course it's still too early to say but if Ayu *does* get no.2 this time then the marketing people are to blame for not seeing the popularity of the Kanji8 single.
