Ayu was obviously not going to beat Kumi's first day, Kumi had her FC DVD version and music cards.

Because he is very popular.

I already knew A ONE was not going to get #1 as much as I want to see it happen

And it's quite obvious Fukuyama Masaharu will get #1 instead given that this album of his has an interesting concept that I have not seen from other artistes

If A ONE can chart better than Colours it's more than enough

Hopefully it will sell better later this week. Sadly ayu's presence isn't what it used to be. She's pretty much tarnished her reputation in japan. Well, time heals all wounds right?

So on the 2nd day it sold lest than 8000 already.
It's tough time for solo artists, really. (miwa also dropped to less than 10k)
I wonder if this album can even reach 40k total.

It seems like Ayu'fans are lazy to go out for buying the physical copy but buy digitally instead.
A ONE is still at #2 iTune Japan, miwa was dropped to #4
A ONE is #1 at Recochoku, also it brought A BEST back at #4 and terminal at #33
That's amazing yet for me

There's nothing too surprising about it when you consider the Japanese market right now. There isn't much new material on the charts that's REALLY grabbing hold of the Japanese music-buying public these days. I can't remember the last time a single got released where there was an atmosphere of "Oh yeah this song is gonna be a classic!" around it. So tribute albums and cover albums have been doing so well over the last few years.

Plus fans requested that he cover these songs specifically - it's a tracklist full of songs people WANTED to hear Masaharu cover, for sure, no question. There are literally no gambles on here. Combine that with Masaharu's old school name recognition, general good reputation, oddly sweet face, and very nice voice, and this album basically becomes a no-risk purchase. If you're inclined to buy it, it's guaranteed you're going to like it - so there's no reason not to get it if you're even remotely thinking about it. There's no such guarantee with Ayu or miwa.

If Bigtop even bothered to do a bit of research on why Fukuyama's「Tamashii Riku」is not a studio album (which obviously he doesn't since I assumed he doesn't listen to Fukuyama's music but I do) , that's because Fukuyama has not released any singles after he released his 11th studio album HUMAN last April

「Tamashii Riku」is a covers album that Fukuyama put out to commemorate Tamashii no Request . Tamashii no Request is a segment of his radio show where Fukuyama would sing + play the guitar to songs requested by the radio listeners

Tamashii no Request ended its broadcast last month after 15 years on air which's where 「Tamashii Riku」comes in as it's a collection of songs that Fukuyama sang/covered over the years

And for the record , Fukuyama doesn't release studio albums as often as before . The time gap release difference between HUMAN & his last studio album Zankyou was 5 years

seriously though considering she's been in the scene for 17 years, the fact that she can still hit Top5 is beyond amazing! Let alone hit the very top in the digital downloads. I'd say she's still quite relevant and obviously still has a huge following. Could AKB48 do that in 10 years? I wonder lol

At least ayu kills everyone except for B'z and Mr.Children in the total sales of albums+singles area. =P

In a few years AKB48 might catch up if they will still sell a million per single/album and will release a lot of them, if they won't start to go down soon.

ayu's sales are decent for her state. Don't forget she also released a DVD/blu-ray so there's more to the money, and with the tour she will get her share of few hundrand thousands dollars as well. I'm glad that the tour has 4 additional dates to show us she is still successful and drama makers still want her songs for their dramas.

ayu is not popular among the whole public anymore but she is in a good state.

ayu might win Legend M on the DVD department this week though, as he released his 2014 tour dvd this week. She is #1 for 2 days but I will wait to see throughout the week if it continues, masaharu is #2.

unfortunately, sales at the venue are barely counted, so it won't do much for the numbers =/

but 20k is a good first day, she wasn't going to get #1 at oricon anyway, and she's doing great on digital rankings, so I think the album is doing fine. And hopefully the tour will help on the long run

Not bad, considering we never knew what Colours first day sales were, since it was #5.

Fukuyama is insanely popular in Japan, even after all this time. Not just as a singer but as an actor as well. So it's really not surprising that any album by him would do relatively well.

ayu's Yearly sales since 2010 (albums/singles/DVDs/Blu-rays):

2010: 867,388
2011: 731,911
2012: 449,586
2013: 267,541
2014: 178,256

If she can sell an amount of 100,000-110,000 this year it would be cool.
