They come up with very interesting "records".

Go Ayu!



If they weren't somewhat obscure, I'd be really happy. But at this point it's like a dead pony when she breaks a record.



Put down the bottle, honey. We don't want to see you do this to your life.



Come back in 10 years after another 14 albums and post this:

"500
wake up guys

50 n she's in the business more than 25 years
we should be thanks to her that she's still walking"

LMAO everything about this is hilarious

[BlackSilence]

er can someone please explain me this?lol who translates that stuff xD

Ayumi Hamasaki's new album, "LOVE again" (2/8/13) has sold 5.3million copies since its release, and became the top sold album of the week. It is her 20th time of becoming the top sold album of the week, during first week of the release.

[RealLight]

/\ These numbers are always so messy x-x but I think they wanted to say it sold '53k' instead of 5.3 million.

Stop whining about THAT stunt plz! It's over!
Ayu's sales decrease with each album so if Party queen didn't make 150k, what makes u think LOVE again can?

[Tony G]

^ that's crazy talk. a wave of new releases will push it out of the top 5 (if not the top 10) next week.

[kagami]

I admit I wish this was selling more...up til last year I thought Ayu's sale were really quite good and they haven't bothered me until now. /shrug I just think she deserves more.

But yay for number!

[YUKARI]

yaay! weekly number one! I will go buy my copy tomorrow!!

[brener]

5th Day (2nd week's 1st day)
Position: #1

I love you, this made my day

I honestly thought this would sell better, I didn't expect such a sharp drop over the days but oh well, let's see how it does in the long run~

[Yuniz_hime]

Part of me don't care about how many album she can sell, how many records she can hold/break. But another part of me is worried because poor sales can also lead to bad situation like hiatus (I really hope it's not like that). I'm happy when she still get #1. Congratulation, Ayu. LOVE again deserves it.
What can a tiny fan here hope? Ayu, I want and still want to listen to your songs. Okay, why I sound like she will end her career soon?
