[a_kingdom21]

so it's easily breaking 200k....

[TeamAyu2004]

THis is pretty cool! I don't think anything major is coming out this week, right? She may get a number one monthly too!

[LONJJONG]

180k yeah ^^

[TeamAyu2004]

I still think we can get close to 250K... although it's looking more like 210K... we just have to see how long it will chart for... here's hoping for another strong month!

PS
I think it was here that we where talking about the limited edition being sold out, right??

Just a heads up, for people who want it. Amazon.jp still has some!

[YUKARI]

aawww I'm so happy it's doing well! it's great she's no 2 at 3rd week

[sanzo2011]

Such a great sales for the 3rd week!Frankly, i didn't expect this! hope she can sell 12k for this week!

[AyumiAi]

Yay go ayu number 2 in 3rd week!

[isthisLOL?]

Like predicted, the third week beat both RnRC and Love Songs 3rd week

[ayuspain]

I've been really susprised about this week sales
Sure she'll break the 200k mark

[Maemi]

almost 200k, yeah!

^ I just read that she wanted people other than her fans to listen to FIVE so I think she really is trying to gain more casual fans.

there is nothing wrong with FIVE in terms of genre and trying something new. i love when she does that. the quality for me is what is lacking. ayu is capable of any genre, but whether or not it's executed properly is a different story.

[rakeru]

I feel like FIVE is the perfect album to gain casual fans, then. Most of the songs are very public-friendly; the only radical song is BRILLANTE, which showcases a broader range of talents than the other songs.

[truehappiness]

I don't think Ayu ever has issues with execution, it's just that it can really depend on whether or not people like her brand of whatever genre she's trying out.

[joshohhhhh]

^the beauty of differing opinion. it always makes for much excitement watching the sales.

[kagami]

^ And Namie had some really good promotion. Avex is gonna have to try harder if they/Ayu want something like that.

[Andrenekoi]

Namie's hype started to seen possible around Queen of Hip-Pop era (2004/05), still, it only really hapened when 60s70s80s was released (2008)...

She only started to get good promotion after Baby Don't Cry (2007)

People need to be interested in you for a massive promotion to work after u r famous... Putting Ayu face everywhere may make her sales a little better, but would hardly result in a peak by itself... unless people like the song...

[kagami]

I think with the right kind of promotion/exposure Days and Sunrise could have done really well. I mean, Sunrise did pretty damn good digitally, compared to her usual. I think part of that was due to the exposure from the drama tie-in, imagine if the show had actually been popular.
