so even if i put "yayayaya gagagaga dadadada wowowowo" in the email they won't understand? i shall use engrish then....

lol.
I think there must be some reason why oricon makes this change. I just doubt the sales it anounced before. and now they make a smart avoidance. However we are disappointed at it. I don't know how we can know the sales of B&D later.

cos they want u to either:
a) subscribe to ORICON STYLE
or
b) use their pay service which costs ¥999/month to view the top 50 sales each week for album, singles etc.

so complaining to them is not much use....

but i managed to snoop around n find last weeks HEAVEN sales but not fairyland's...

ranking: 26
sales: 5,326
total sales: 316,292

that equals to fairyland's 10/26 amount (316,663)

still on the topic of singles, ENDLESS STORY is expected to pass HEAVEN n fairyland next week. ENDLESS STORY is still selling ~15-25K each week. total sales are now 314,486.

on the topic of albums, koda kumi's "Best~first things~" has passed ayu's "MY STORY" in sales.
as 11/09:
Best~first things~: 1,144,024
MY STORY: 1,131,776
its likely to stay this way (koda kumi beating ayu in sales) since MY STORY has sold "0" copies for a couple of weeks now....

o yea....yearly rankings: [as of 11/09]
SINGLES
19. STEP you/is this LOVE? (345,340)* ([for now] its the 2nd best female solo single in '05)
23. fairyland [c/w alterna] (316,663)* (gonna b #25 nxt wk)
24. HEAVEN [c/w Will] (316,292)

ALBUMS
7. MY STORY (1,131,776)* (2nd best female album in '05)

Actually, that might change by one copy. I might buy another copy of MY STORY (Japanese version) next week since my original one has a deep scratch in it.

Every little bit helps, you know.

Sorry, I don't think online sales count.

Btw, it was a BEST album, so it is expected that koda kumi would surpass ayu anyway xD

[Mad_Cactuar]

^ yep. If Ayu makes a Greatest Hits it would surpass every other stuff on the market.. Hope she does one after the album after Carnival/Freedom..
