Sad about her not getting #1, but at least she's likely to sell over 500k.

Yup. But the hope never dies, lmao. With the earing lose news people will start to want the album, lol.

[Lee_Hamasaki]

nice sales considering the bad sales of singles

[BoBo]

#2 ..... what's happening? ;(

[marekcarey]

its nowhere wrote she got number 2 yet...

[Libriya]

Good sales! It doesn't matter that she lost No 1 position, but I think she'll return it (at least Namie returned to #1!). Anyway this album is awesome! I'm glad she sales MUSIC and not image and various bonuses...
AYU is THE BEST!

[Ryuuzaki]

good sales for me
Guilty is an awesome album
it doesn't matter for me if she gets #1 or not

[DestinyWishes]

....Dear Ayu's Japanese fans
...GULTY is an awesome album so go and buy it! Help her get number 1...

I blame illegal downloading for sales being less than before, it's affected the music industry everywhere.

That's not to blame. It's been around for so long without really affecting sales.

I think what IS affecting it is iTunes. It's SO much more convenient, so I think people would rather pay about the price for a CD single for a non-existent album.

But either way, they're paying. So it's nothing much.

I cannot believe she didnt make number 1
this is so sad

[greggerz189]

^It was really close. I didn't think that ORICON would combine the KOBUKURO numbers...unless I'm misunderstanding it? Did 5296 really sell an extra 480k this week?? =O

The sales are WAY better than I thought they'd be, though!!! ^O^ Great news!

No, downloading is not really to blame. BLAME Oricon. They need to get with the program and realize that downloading is a big profit. The Billboard charts are really includes downloading....why can't Oricon see that?!

[MemorialAddress]

True. I just think it's not fair that they won't count the "new year week" or whatever?
She would've been number one for you know!!!! lol

what do u mean? they did even though they didn't update during that time.

[MemorialAddress]

Ohhhhhhhhh.
Sorryy I was confused....OH no what I meant was, that whole week, if they had've counted that as the FIRST week and not combined, the album would've been number 1, you know?

[Dustie]

Where does the news 'didn't get no. 1' came from?... I can't see updated weekly charts on Oricon website yet...
