It's sorta what happened to Seiko whatsherface after she lost her streak though.

but, as long as she keeps making good music, whatever's fine with me. Maybe losing her streak would prompt her to not release boring songs lol

i don't think it's avex that would care if she lost her streak, but rather all other media sources. it would be in the news and on tv and all that stuff. you might not think that it's that harmful, but you never know. to this day people still use ayu's hearing against her ever since it was revealed that she was deaf in one ear. and rhetorical questions will pop up everywhere asking "is ayu over?!" blah blah blah

it's not like her streak ending would just go unnoticed. and they'll probably relate it back to matsuda seiko or something.

I want Ayu to keep her streak at least until she beats Seiko... =(
Since it's so close, if she still needed 10 - 15 singles more I would not care, but it is too close now! >.<

Maybe ayu is recording other songs for a new album. Rule/Sparkle was released on February 25, 2009 and NEXT LEVEL was released on March 25, 2009 so maybe a new album wont be too far at all from ayu's, You were.../BALLAD single

Maybe we might be confident that we can outrun Fukuyama. If so, it might be Ayu's best and most-unbelievable winter single we might just have ever seen...

Well Ayumi is pretty much screwed if she move the release to the 23rd. Kanjani 8 (JE Boyband) is releasing a single on that day. And the 24th and 25th.

I hope she will be able to outsell Fukuyama. I would hate to see her lose the streak but then again it's gotta end sometime.

I think we already agreed that 23rd is out of the question due to Christmas and stuff and that was prolly the reason why Fukuyama's management moved his. So it's either the double week or it stays the 16th. Although I am pretty sure that they would've moved it by now if they intended to.

Don't most fans think that whenever there is a new release from Ayu?

yeah that's unexpected & somemore for them to put out 3 singles on 23rd , 24th AND Christmas day , it's @_@ * my $ D: D: D:

but anyway the way I see it , seems to be the only way if avex were to promote it a LOT more than usual

I don't think Fukuyama-san might losing the #1 spot to ayumi since as compared to her , he doesn't have that many #1 singles lol

^ which hopefully means that if others managed to beat him before, including Ayu, that she has chances of making it against him. I am really hoping the songs are damn good and that AVEX will do everything, just to prove that both Ayu and AVEX can handle better competition, even though they have already proved they can with Mirrorcle World ^^

that's true

he was beaten by her before isn't it ? I'm not very sure since I'm not that familiar with Fukuyama-san past chart performance but if she has done it before then I don't see why she cannot do it again

It seems like as if it seems a horse in a horse race runs away early, but when at the end, the pressure comes, and the horse who runs away early holds off the oncoming field of horses trying to catch the horse from behind as the horse who runs away early tires out until the final stretch run...

I think Ayu can do it... It's going to be one of her biggest challenges ever...

Even though you used the word "horse" way too many times I get what you're saying ^^ While Ayu will probably lose in a long run, due to her sales dropping faster, she can still have a quite impressive first week sales, especially for female artists.

for some reason I miss ballads...so I hope these are nice ones.

I'm glad we have the yearly ballads now.

I think I've kinda...given up on everything else...but I'm still hoping the songs have redeeming factors.

Really? Haha. In the present day, I don't think that's the case at all... (You rarely see anyone really saying "her next release is great!" and so on, and rather everyone's just chatting about how disappointed they are in the latest releases.)

SINGLES
x->1->1->1->2->2->2 - Fukuyama Masaharu - 50,136 + 32,505 + 15,502 + 9,855 + 10,016 + 8,881 = 126,895
His last single was pretty stable in the dailies. Even if she does outsell him on the first day, the later days are probably what'll decide who gets the #1.
