theres nothing wrong with B&D in fact, for some people B&D sound fresh and bring new fans to AYU.. altough for us AYU FANS B&D sure sound

But still not a major factor of MU failure..

I think what he meant was that B & D was released too close to the album date.

I think it would have been wiser if B & D was kept off the singles discography. Avex took a HUGE gamble with making it a single.

As for ULTRA BLUE, I find it pretty sad that it did so terrible. I would ahve thought it would have made at least 1 mil. For that album, I believe that the digital "This is Love" release affected it.

^ a sad sad sad failure in comparison to her previous albums before exodus. Sadness.

[truehappiness]

(m)u imho didn't fail :/

I think her next album might sell more than (m)u.. :]

[LacusClyne]

sadly though, (m)u had just drop out..it's seem to be the worst selling album, so far...

[alternarist]

but i always thought that (miss) understood was better than RAINBOW.. really sad to see it not pass the million mark.

[LacusClyne]

yup. B&D should not be made into a single...maybe ladies night will work out better, and if it's release date is slightly earlier.

[michiAki]

thanks for the info!~

avex probably already knew that a single released too close wouldn't sell well, but did it anyways because they might have wanted to tie and break that Female Single #1 record faster before it was too late.

EDIT: Talking about B&D/Pride.

I agree, giving that status to Ayumi is more important than the total sales, it meant Avex has a legend in their hands. Status, power and more future sales/contracts.

[darkswordz]

10 more #1 single and ayu will break another record!!!!!!

[ayu_fan929]

^Well that is if B'z stops releasing or stops getting #1, which I don't think will happen anytime soon.

[andre2907]

Plus, 10 more #1 singles won't be that easy.

[Mad_Cactuar]

She can always try the 12 days of christmas thingy, but limit each single to 150 000k. Ok, that's a stupid idea.

She can always try releasing a triple A-side CD+DVD+Photobook+Poster every 3 months for a period of 3 years.

Well it would have to be every week since only 1 single can top each week. And 150,000 might not be enough if she's against a Johnny group.

[truehappiness]

o_O

I think she should..

stay the same LOL

[darkswordz]

or just learn from kumi (the 12 single collection )

[Mad_Cactuar]

Well, she can always go "OMG LAST MINUTE DELAY" when a Johnny product gets in the way. But I don't think people would snap up all the copies, but that's just me.. At least the songs would sound 38902374x better and un-fillerish though.

[ayu_fan929]

^Well the HEAVEN single had to be released that close with fairyland because of the movie tie-in.
