In terms of albums, I think females usually sell more.

Ayu should make songs like Heartplace and independent. I loved songs like that from Ayu. Of course I have nothing against these rock songs like talkin' 2 myself and others, but those olders songs were so catchy. :> And the lack of pop songs on Ayu's albums is a shame, because there was really something really kicking in her pop songs like INSPIRE and especially Naturally. Oh how I wish she would make another song like Naturally. :3 Or Real me! <3

I read from wikipedia that GUILTY was on #2 on monthly charts. I didn't believe it at first, but I guess it was official. I thought GUILTY was going to be on #9 or out of Top10, but it wasn't. That's just great. #2 is good position imo. Go, Ayu o/

I totally agree...as much as I love her new songs (which are mostly rock songs) I miss her old pop songs. MY ALL is the kind of song I've been waiting for (i'm glad she released it on GUILTY)...hopefully ayu will make more pop songs (non-summerish) for her next album.

wow im surprised that the sales are pretty consistent for this album! That's a good thing!~

[4ever*ayu]

Still hold on tight on #20 today, yaayy!!

[SpiceSquad!]

not great but good...

the recent news about her does effect her album sales..

thx

[Kikaru]

I think her newer pop/rock songs tend to be "heavier", and to me tend to be more rock than pop. Her earlier ones have a more equal balance in terms of music. Although her older pop/rocks have darker theme and PV, but I feel the music is darker.

But even if Guilty stopped selling now, I'm pretty satisfied with the sales.

[waterballoon]

GUILTY is a lot more rock-orientated this time round. But one of my friends told me that most of Ayu's consumers in Japan are young women around the age of 20-30 something. So... unless that information is wrong, if not I think such women in Japan would be able to accept GUILTY's style and genre, unless it's the rock songs that repel them away.

GUILTY's 6th week

#23 8,826

Total Sales: 550,021

GUILTY sold more than 550,000, yay!

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

Yay ! It's doing fine !

[WillofDusk]

Thats awesome, GUILTY rules, I jsut bought my copy of CD+DVD+PB + 2 posters
man it's sooo awesome!!

[Olw---A]

I love that album... I don't know why it reminds me the young ayu... I mean before "I Am"
That's weird because her sound is more rockish now... but her voice and the vocal arrangements sound more like the young Ayu.
Anyway I'm glad that album sells pretty good especially because 2007 was a big year for Ayu... I just doubt that this is a good conclusion for this year. I mean good sales but hte album doesn't reflect her Asian supremacy... I wanted more songs and more diversity... anyway stop complaining and be happy... I can't wait for the next single...
2007 was the year of the supremacy... hope that 2008 will be the year of the rebirth !!

[ayumisrael]

2008 for me is definitly ayu's year, it's her 10th anniversary year and until now she rocks and have awesome releases like GUILTY, ayu-mi-x 6 GOLD & SILVER and ASIA TOUR 2007 DVD... I'm sure that there are more upcoming awesome releases being prepared for us from ayu on 2008! Let's wait & see! ayu always prefer to satisfy her fans over sell well and be #1 (GUILTY) (fans over money for ayu duh) and it's been proven enough times. [everybody that thinks ayu's fake, sorry you can keep crapping about it until tomorrow! if it's really your opinion and doing you good x_x] though ayu has still huge sales (over half a million for an album after 10 years!) because she has us to support her, thank you ayu and good luck in 2008 and keep bringing us awesome releases!

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

Yeah~! I am excited to hear what else she has planned for us ;DD!!

[dayumi]

YAY!! 550,021 it's really good!
