Except there was massive promo so everyone knew it was out & X-mas isn't a national holiday in Japan.

Thank you. It was a national holiday and only crazy fans would buy the album when a lot of people were at home or outside celebrating with their family or hungover.

It isn't a national holiday but a high percentage of the Japanese celebrate it by having a special meal. Also from what I remember the release date was supposed to be 26th and not 25th meaning only those diehard fans who check the site/stores everyday would get to know about the early release. In fact Yahoo Auctions only had 3-4 pages selling GUILTY albums and promo stuff. Today it has 10.

Not in Japan. New Years is the big national holiday there. Not Christmas. If anything people would be out buying stuff on Christmas to give for gifts on New Years.

Weird since I read that a lot of Japanese families celebrate Christmas with a special meal.

That's true, but the original poster was right. New Years' far eclipses Christmas in Japan (and in a lot of Asian countries for that matter). On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being very few people celebrating and 10 being everyone celebrating, Christmas is like a 5 and New Years' is a definite 10.

That maybe true in some cases, but Christmas day in general isn't like it is here. People still go to work, all stores are open as usual, the day is treated fairly normally. New Years day is a much much bigger holiday.

Well like someone said maybe the people in Japan are spending time now after Christmas with their families instead of running through mall spending their money that's left... Or then GUILTY simply doesn't click to japanese people. But there's just been 2 days so let's not lose our hopes completely. I think the sales will decrease most around the weekend.

I guess there's no data about Secret first day sales because oricon daily sales number has just started on February 2007.

I see! Thanks for informing this.

Now that I think about it. The daily sales appeared when A BEST 2 was released.

[freedreamer]

i doubt thats included with PREORDER sales right?

and sales will increase during the weekends...for sure...remember Ayu's CDL and stuff

[njanjayrp]

beh AVEX won't let her not have no1 weekly ^^, as someone said, I am pretty sure they will do anything, and besides even BoA managed to get it with MIT.Not that it matters as the album is awsome

[kiseki89]

Erm I thought album is out only on 1.1.08...

Then what about overseas edition?

[futureLOVE]

wouldn't preorder sales be counted the official release date? i may be wrong but that number seems awfully low to be including preorders.

[freedreamer]

^yea...i hope they only include preorders together with the WHOLE thing..im sure with CDJAPAN having sold out the first press...it would have sold 100k already

[TITANIC]

how is secret 1st day sales??
so we can compare it with guilty
