Well, at this rate, I'm sure it will break 300,000, but the quick slips in sales is somewhat worrisome. But it's true that many other "good" singles came out then as well. Makes me wonder what the sales for HEAVEN will be, especially when Hikki's single comes out.

Well, fairyland is bouncing back up on Oricon, top ten! :] She's #9 I believe. Really good after dropping to like, 14 and bouncing up again.
Good luck Ayu. :] Zeo

I think they made the right choice not promoting alterna.
The song is about Ayu herself, now who would want to listen to Ayu talking about how she's tired of tabloids? Unless it's fans, no one would care. 'fairyland' is much easier to relate to. It's happy and genki and radio-friendly. |

Hey, Come on, if you are abashed
Watch me at a distance Whether or not I may do something I'm talked about behind my back I live in my skin There were Only a few things Truly important and necessary And the rest were mainly decorations They might have been Like the armor To protect myself from everything Let me say something more It was not comfort But the sense of loss That the unnecessary things brought to me Don't misunderstand That I've reached the goal Things have just begun at last I have no wild ambition Don't take it too seriously In short I only want what I want That's what I say Even if it's fate I'll change that Because I've fully seen Fearful things Hey, Come on, if you are abashed Watch me at a distance Whether or not I may do something It makes no difference I live in my skin This song is really about herself? But I think everyone can relate to these words.. I think Alterna and Fairyland should have been promoted equally. Instead, Avex did not do a single thing to promote Alterna, I havent even seen a poster... (I doubt there's one..) Alterna had the ability to attract another set of audience.. Who expected Ayumi to make something so rock, almost metal, a little pop, yet so easy on the ears, just like teenage music nowadays, only much nicer and sophisticated... |

Hmm I don't know about you but when I read the lyrics I just think this is Ayu's message to people who critisize her and talks about her "behind her back". A song about herself.
Whatever the case, knowing Japanese people's love for happy songs it probably won't work to promote alterna. Some people might think the single is some angsty (spl?) song and wouldn't buy it because of that. You have to realize promoting 'alterna' means less promotion for 'fairyland'. Rather than a 50-50 Avex probably decided to go for 100% fairyland in order to generate maxim sales from Ayu's target audience. |

Although Koda Kumi and B'z managed to still stay on the Top 20 Daily Oricon Chart, Ayumi Hamasaki is now officially off the Top 20. I'm not sure if she'll ever be able to climb back. It's gonna be hard though...
