Monday to Sunday. For new releases, it's Tuesday to Sunday.

thugz_passion: I got the impression he liked old school Ayu better. iono. he probably just likes dizon cause...yea. lol.

Sunshine: oh yea, I understood you meant food, bathroom, etc. lol. Yea, I know, I would've probably picked 25th over 26th, but I just meant I was glad I got to see both. But I remember you saying you didn't wanna go through two a-nations in a row, haha.

But it was the finale! you totally can't miss the finale! I would be sad even if I were apathetic about Ayu and had missed the finale...

One other thing I forgot to mention is the fireworks show! You actually can only see the show from one half of the arena. If you are on the side of the arena that the fireworks are going to be on, you can't see them. (This happened to my mom and I) By the time we were able to make it out of the Stadium the fireworks were pretty much over. That can also explain why some people leave early - they want to be able to see the fireworks.

Ahhhh that's another factor...yea I wanted to tell you about it! I had the most perfect view the first day! The second day I was facing the back so I had to watch it on the screen! It lasted longer than I expected, haha.

right..anyway I really want a competition with kuu for one week.. I think ayu can win

Oricon weekly data goes from Monday to Sunday, therefore new releases miss one day (from Tuesday to Sunday) *EDIT* Oh, ayu_fan929 already replied to this, but i just missed his post, sorry.

Have we been looking at the index number since forever here at AHS? I hope we've been consistent.

We've been able to use those index numbers just for A BEST 2 and glitter/fated, mainly because Oricon didn't give that index before. In fact, if i recall correctly they started using them the week A BEST 2 was released, and we were all pretty shocked because those figures seemed too low -we didn't know at first they don't take all shops into account for the daily indexes and such-

[HiruNoKaze]

So what did we use for sales info before the index number?

I think we waited a whole week to know straight the first week sales xD

[bluegie]

yeah... and before that we could use another website (forgot the name of the website tho) to see the first day sales. With the first day sales we could predict the overall sales (back in the old days first day sales usually equals to about 40 = 50% of the overall weekly sales). But that website stopped during 2004 I think..

[CHAS_AYU]

3rd Day
Position:#1
Sales: 5113 (X1.75) = 8,947
Total Estimated Sales: 26,267 + 17,477 + 8,947 = 52,691

[bluegie]

ehh?!? I keep reloading oricon website and it's not updated yet @@.

Anywayz... pretty low sales on the 3rd day.. Now I think it can't pass 100K on the first week..

[[taskin.ayu]]

Are these her worst sales ever? D:

[bluegie]

well.. BnD first week was about 76K.. so let's see if t2m can beat it and become the worst selling no. 1 ayu single.. @@

No, poker face (her first single) is her lowest selling single and t2m already past its sales yesterday ^_^.

[puddinx]

Hegh! It dropped nearly half of the 2nd day's sales!!

[Neil]

This IS her lowest selling single ever.
You can't compare it to Pokerface, or to other ASFxx songs, Ayu wasn't mega famous back then.
I really wish glitter would have bombed like t2m, and then t2m got glitters sales.
Because glitter/fated SUCKED majorly. But this single is in my eyes, her best in years. I just don't understand :-/

well, that's her debut single. how come you make that comparison?

but i'm sure t2m 1st week sales will pass BnD 1st week sales.

[AyuGAME]

really weird. i hate it when we have a hope that this single can sales very well but the fact is upside down...

It doesn't matter if she was mega famous or not, sales-wise poker face is her lowest selling single lol xD It's just all numbers.

[ruixiong89]

Oh well, at least her digital downloads are like INSANE. This goes to show that people haven't exactly forgotten about Ayu yet.
