Well then why would "you" selling high have anything to do with the PV?

PV = promotional video = promotion for the single.

People saw it on TV and liked it, so they bought the single is probably what happened [I bet a lot of people were fans of that guy in it o-o]

I see, but I didn't think the PV was that great... D.D.D. was a HOT PV though - and the song was amazing!

I belive I don't have as much to say on this matter as you, as I've only seen Arena Tour 2005 on DVD (many times

), but I'll give you my views.

My impression was that the MY STORY tour was somewhat lacking on the effects area, though it's hard to beat the fountains of Boys & Girls. But the special screens in the (miss)understood tour WAS impressive and they were used during the entire show, no clue what they're called. I also really liked how alterna was performed.

I also thought that there was not all too much work put down on the light show in MY STORY, apart from for GAME. I see the (miss)understood tour as a sort of mix between MY STORY and CDL2k5-2k6, MY STORY had the show while CDL had the light show and (miss)understood had both, sort of.

The costumes were better in general in MY STORY, but the alterna outfit gives me the shivers, I love it... hehe. The (miss)understood tour got it's golden points aswell.

I found both shows awesome, possibly I find (miss)understood a bit more impressive when I think back at it... I'll have to wait for the DVD to judge them more as equals. I just have this itching feeling that MY STORY will seem sort of dull compared to (miss)understood when you watch the DVDs.

This is only my opinions, no one should take this as the ultimate review of which one is the better, I find them both as good

.

"you" was part of that storyline thing along with Lies, feel and Someday. I think it also sold well cos it was the 1st too.

Kikaru · #**107** 30th May 2006, 03:59 AM

"You" had was the 1st out of the 12, plus it was a good song IMO with a good PV. I'm wondering if the guys in that PV has anything to do with it...

They were pretty cute....

Why did that sell anyway? O_o;

Because it's a good song. Simple. People liked it and still do.

Are you ever going to stop complaining about how much you don't like Kumi? Seriously it's getting really old.

truehappiness · #**109** 30th May 2006, 04:34 AM

AGH THAT WASN'T AN ATTACK ON KODA BLAH.

I meant why did that one sell so much compared to the others >> >> >> >> >> >> Especially the non-limiteds> >> >> >> >> >> /explode

I was not like 'Agh, ew this single sucks why did it sell?! My god!'

Just wondering why it sold so much >>

cybermoomba · #**110** 30th May 2006, 04:52 AM

you was the best song among the non-limited singles. No Regret and Someday weren't that great. That's why it sold so much more.

And yes you always have something negative to say about Kumi. I've seen it so don't deny it. If you don't like her or her music that's fine. There's no need to say anything more.

i agree with the you single.. it was the best of the non-limited singles.. actually one of kumis best songs.. ^o^

really doesnt suprise me that ayu fans always talk cr"·$p about koda(get used to it.. you cant really do anything.. they wont listen).. they hold the grudge since kumi is the "it" girl and ayu was kinda left aside by avex..

haha it wouldnt suprise me if people starts bashing me now x_X

anyway as i stated before.. it was nice from avex to put that message in the site .. but go to hell avex.. i wanted the triple a-side single XO

Wow, that's huge for Kumi. I'm suprised it only got #2 for the week then. That milk tea guy sold 180,600(!). Great news for Kumi, not that great for Ayu though. Never thought I'd see the day when a Koda single outsold an Ayu one. If anyone was going to do that, I thought it would be Otsuka.

truehappiness · #**115** 30th May 2006, 06:36 AM

Perhaps it was that drama? :/

Or not. Anyways, I think BLUE BIRD's first week will be a lot more impressive than Startin's :>

here's that pic:

you suppose it made the singles to be sold so well?!
ok, then -
Ayumi, get off your clothes quickly, c`mon!

bluegie · #**118** 30th May 2006, 08:10 AM

hmmn.. talking about that kumi "naked" pose (in fact you only see her butt), ayu had a similar pose before... ayu-mi-x II... except w/ clothes on and a handbag instead of a mic...

actually it was 186,000.

Well a Kumi single has outsold an Ayu one, you vs. Bold & Delicious/Pride. Ai's done it too, with Sakuranbo. Also, her Planetarium might outsell fairyland.

Thanks! I really wanted to see the singles put together to make this photo though. If you could find it then great!

I am in shock... Even though I like Koda's music, think she is cute and all, I am so sad that this is actually happening. I love AYU with all my heart and wish she could be the best forever... Koda's next single will definately sell like hotcakes though considering it is a 4A side! But what is really surprising is that THIS SINGLE HOT ONE MAIN TRACK while there was one mix and one instrumental... That is bad considering Startin' had 2 A sides!!

I actually really came to like Someday - one of my favorites! After watching the PV I loved the song even more and would listen to it while walking home from school like Kumi was walking down the street in the video! It is a great "walking" song, but my favorite "walking" song is RAINBOW... I listen to it every morning when I get up early enough to walk to school!
