ok, I totally agree with Skyline on this one. If Avex is lookin for ways to make money they should start "Avex USA" lol. I kno many a person who would buy the cd's. Now, it seems like they're just spending money to spend it. The threat of Ayu losing her popularity in Japan is looming overhead and Avex couldn't have picked a worse time to release this album. it's not like its a "bad" album...bcoz Ayu and bad dont go together, but neway the timing was all off and instead they should have released a Rainbow single with remixes of Real Me and Everywhere Nowhere or somethin.

A Ballads album not bad most of the songs is remix so mostly ppl just wait for mp3 to download so it will be like this the first day release hardly to break the record of the A best album

As i know in singapore hardly to get the album first so after a week the album release then reach singapore so it cant break the record.so mostly i onli can do is find where can find her latest album all songs in mp3.That is the sad stuff....

I am still hoping that her new album would sell more than what it is... It's a good compilation! There are lot of remixes, right?

Well, half the album was either on her "Rainbow" album or not remixed. There are a few new vocals and a few new remixed songs, which are all very good, but not really enough to carry the album. It didn't have a great campaign behind it. It made no sense. We just got "Rainbow." "A Ballads" sales are suffering for a reason - everyone just bought an Ayu album and all these songs have been heard before. The whole idea is still very baffling...

Hey Tetsu, you got a different and very interesting point. Maybe most people are still sampling the album through mp3s to see if they buy the album or not. As the album has just been recently released and people were probably waiting to sample it first, it might be possible that in the next days or weeks the sales will rise and that could justify the low sales right now.

Maybe you right, but some of my friend ask me have the mp3 of ayumi album i say have it then after send to them they feel that they not buying the A ballads,to save up money to spent another new single or more new songs in a album...

Thats sad to heard them to say that.....

I was finally able to download a full mp3 of A BALLADS and I'm impressed to some extent. I found myself skipping through and only listening to the newly mixed songs, yet felt cheated somehow by hearing Dearest, HANABI, and Dolls. It seemed like I was listening to a CD someone ripped for me and not like a "brand-spanking new" album. Now I'm becoming cautious about buying it again. The new mixes of appears and M are awesome and would definately buy it because of them, yet what's the point of buying an album that has barely anything new?

Sadly, this is one of those albums that you can burn onto a CD-RW disk and not tell that it was an actual album instead of personal selections.

Well that aint bad... maybe it's because people are getting poor like me!
any ways its the first day so it will sell more!
and another thing is that some of ayu's songs are just reapetedly imported to her new album... dunno but thats what i think.
