I doubt BUT/Aisho was limited. Avex anounced B&L was limited as soon as it was announced, why not say the same for the single? I think they realized it would do badly as previews emerged and the public didn't react well so they said it was limited to mask the single's poor sales. Didn't Cherry Girl debut with 66k? And that single was 2 weeks before BC...

I don't really understand why avex wouldn't want every copy to be available in the stores when first week sales are everything.

Two totally different best albums released at the same time from a popular artist not selling well =/= One best album from a popular artist not selling well..

Looking at everyone's sales, perhaps we've come to a time when Japanese people just aren't feelin female singers like they used to (with the exception of Utada... since she's always had amazing sales).

That's very true, it could be called "Total Defeat" or "Double Suicide" instead

How much did cherry girl/unmei end up selling? The sales of but/ashio could sell close to that.

not really my bet is 80% of her sales for flavor of life are thanks to hana yori dango but that doesnt stop it from being one of my fav songs of the year

I just stopped in to check Ayu's (and Mr. Children's!) sales and I ended up reading the whole thread!
I think my definition of "success" and "failure" must be different from a lot of people. If a weak album with poor content gets #1, I think that's failure. If A BEST 2 drops from #1 to #100 overnight but stays in my stereo for weeks and its' songs make constant appearences on my mp3 player, I think that's success. If someone doesn't like A BEST 2, hey that's fine. But don't use its' numbers as evidence that it "OMG sux0rz!" and think everyone should agree. There are artists I like that don't even chart. PULLTOP JUICE anyone? Quote:
In any case, HANG IN THERE AYU! |

Yup. We wouldn't know how much effort she really put in in these albums. Only Ayu noes it herself. All we can do is to believe Ayu is giving her best for the fans.
