What did you expect?
Ayu and Avex seems more concerned to maintain old fans than gained new ones.
That's not that bad, there are old fans that appreciate whatever she does but she need to experiment more in my opinion.

And I agree with this

I love blossom, but M/b its a pretty weak single overall.

I came pretty close when predicting 35K for first day, yay! =D
Hope she doesn't drop too much though... Would like at least 65K for weekly!

I agree with you. Nothing about the two songs are mind blowing, they seem like tracks that would be featured on a new album (which I wouldn't complain with, they're beautiful songs). There was absolutely no promotion for this single except Ayu performed MOON at her own concert.

The covers aren't that bad, but they're just beauty shots imo.

I think we know as fans, if we never knew Ayu, then we wouldn't pay special attention to this single. And this is why I agree with koshka's statement:

i doubt that it's about avex n ayu pay more attention to the old/loyal fans..
but soloists' sales are not that great if compare to group artists~
that's my opinion though..see the groups' sales...count the ones that are very popular these days..mostly their sales are SO BIG!

Ooh... AKB48 is denying Ayu for the DVD #1... But I've heard that they're releasing an album on the same day, but they're denied by YUI... But it's quite interesting for Ayu to take #1 in the single - the most important matter!

this is true, soloist singers don't sell well as groups nowadays (If I look to their first day sales.. omg ).
But Namie and Kuu has got more promotion for their singles instead.
I hope this will not turn into a Ayu vs NamieKuuHikkiKanainsertrandomjapanesesingername thread lol it's just an example.

It's so weird to see people calling this a weak single, because almost everything about it amazed me Oh well. I'm glad it's selling as well as it is.

yep yep..it's like the group singers' era for these days...
soloists are just like stand still haha XD
even those soloists u mentioned about got more promotions, still..their sales can't beat those groups ones.. except for their albums, perhaps?...even though only Namie could beat the group ones as of now..haha XD
but seriously...it's really invaded by those group singers'...

One thing i do find kind of cool is Koda Kumi's gossip candy recieved more promotion compared to ayumi's almost non existant promotion,
and yet it only reached #4 on the weekly charts XP Ayu FANS good job!!! <3
But yea the age of soloist singers/ idols is coming to an end
im happy it made number 1! but lets hope this single gets to 100,000

We need more action by soloists like Ayu, not groups like Arashi or AKB48! But maybe you should consider about YUI also, as well as maybe potential new singers like Sayuri Sugawara and miwa...

Flying lower in what terms? xD

Oh you mean the recochoku chart? MOON was #1 weekly though, it may succeed more on sites recochoku doesn't count though it's not certain. We will have to wait to see if anything get certificated in 2-3 months. xD
If not then yeah it basically would do better physically would be no hit.

Tomorrow the chaku uta FULL of MOON and blossom should be out~ I wonder if they will drop fast as well.

kuu's Lollipop as it seems does well digitally (though we can't really know unless if it will get certificated because it might do just gold and that's nothing out of the ordinary but not bad as well) but its chaku uta wasn't #1 weekly.

nope.

in the things I mentioned in my other post (promotion, songs, pv, covers)

I'm not talkin about sales. "flying lower" as in this single is weaker than other ayu singles.

Why are you guys talking that Ayu's single is "weak" because of little or no promotion? As long as she takes #1, we'll still be happy about it. And let the streak continue! But I do also have a sense that I might start to move away from Ayu and concentrate not on Arashi or such, but new artists like Sayuri and miwa, which might have potential for the next decade...

Wait what are you talking about? What's a fact? I hope you're not saying that just because it's not selling as much as some of her other singles than that makes it a weak one..

or saying it's a fact that it's a weak single, because no, it isn't. That would be called an opinion.

Lollipop didn't do that well when it first came out but after the dream park concerts and tv performances, it went to #1 and stayed high on the charts.

back to ayu...I feel its such a shame ayu didn't perform MOON on tv...I love this song so much! and if she performed it, I'm sure it'll be well received.
