rofl xD I dound his comment risiculously hillarious..

in any case, its safe to say that this single wont reach 300 000.. Even 200 000 seems far off.. it all depends on how well it carries itself throughout the next week. However, excellent sales though, she's still queeenn!

truehappiness · #**162** 14th March 2006, 12:14 PM

I wonder what the highest single sales will be at the end of this ORICON year..

[remember this beginning all over again..]

Maybe B'z?

Just wanted to add that Ayu had indeed singing talent... you can't be good in singing or even drawing, if you aren't born with this talent... talent is there to learn how to use it... she just didn't sound as if she had any singing lessons at all at first, but Ayu is born with talent. She has music in her blood

.
I think she just didn't have a major interest in (professional) singing, her mom didn't want her to sing or/and she didn't have someone to seriously support her, to give her singing lessons and to push her in the right direction when she was still very young... I mean, when exactly did BoA start her pro-singing and when exactly did Ayu ^^;... it does make a big difference. I hope someone understands what I mean to say X__x.

Well, I'm really surprised, that this single sold less than 200.000 copies (I did buy one

).... if it hadn't the Onimusha-promotion and the Olympics-theme, it probably would have sold even less than 90.000...

You shouldn't be surprised, Ayu don't sell 200k in the first week since 2003.

I'm still surprised BECAUSE both songs had a bit extra promotion (for a very popular game and for the japanese olympics theme (?!)), her other singles had not..... or am I false informed -_- ?...

i dont know about Startin', but for Born To Be... even though it was for the olympics, i wouldnt be surprised if very little ppl actually paid attention to the olympics given dismal results by japan's team.

andre2907 · #**167** 15th March 2006, 12:13 AM

^ Actually, the olympics are very popular in Japan.

All Ayu songs have big promotions and important tie-ins, so this isn't a first.

I know for sure B'z won't be at the top, I'm putting my bets on KAT-TUN. Their debut is going to be OUT OF CONTROL.

truehappiness · #**169** 15th March 2006, 12:21 AM

I thought that was an album xD I was going to say KAT-TUN too but I don't think they'll release too frequently..

plus its the ALLBBUMMM~

no they are releasing an album/single/dvd on the same day

hallelujah_united · #**171** 15th March 2006, 09:50 AM

^Yup, all 3 formats on the same day. Probably will reach #1 on all 3 too.

KAT-TUN with the top single of the year? A bit too early to say that, but going by the sales of Seishun Amigo, and also with Tak Matsumoto giving them help in composition, it looks likely. Even if I still find REAL FACE not too impressive.

Raleigh · #**172** 15th March 2006, 12:16 PM

Well seems this single fell down to #8.

what's going on with ayu;'s sales....~ Her recording sales had plummeted ever since in 2002, does this mean people are losing interest in ayu by virtue of her age or personalities????~

probably by the virtue of age? as she grows older, not many ppl (ie: young girls) will call her the "in" person, thus losing sales.

AYU Should really shoot herself ... look at this low sales !
YAYY !!

Why do you always say that Ayu should shoot herself?!

What do you mean? Don't you like Ayu?

If you treat Ayu as your idol, just support her. Don't say anything meaningless.

bernardation · #**176** 15th March 2006, 04:38 PM

8th ? quite a big drop, isn't it ?

andre2907 · #**177** 15th March 2006, 05:06 PM

8th? Wow... I know it's wednesday and all, but that's really bad =|

momobean · #**178** 15th March 2006, 05:58 PM

No. 8? Thank goodness I'm too sleepy to feel sad about it

IMO Ayumi has more voice charisma. I think she's one of the best at emoting.

Um, would you please stop saying "Ayu should really shoot herself," because it's really bothersome. It really isn't her fault that not many people are buying her singles
