I think it's really sad that the sales dropped so low.
Such a good single and such low sales >_<

Wow, that sucks. Her popularity is declining BIG TIME and I think nobody can deny that anymore . Oh well, I hope she continues producing quality songs (IMO, Startin' sucked big time)...

Although Ayu's new single sales not well, her performance has improved a lot, especially her singing skill. We should appreciate it also.Don't just focus on her sales.

I always think ayu's sale ain't that bad, and I've already pointed out that the last few no. 1 singles' first week sales were lower than that (except B'z of course). Popularity is one issue (she's not as popular as before but she's still popular somehow... you know what I mean). the problem about cd sales is another major issue. Nowadays people tends to buy mp3s. Many Japanese have iPod and probly they download this single from iTunes. Of course, Startin'/Born To Be... is considered a weaker single in ayu. Anywayz, , there're so many factors leading the low sales at this moment.. Dun feel sad or disappointed just because the sales dropped from 110K to 30K. Kumi's BEST~ss~ got the similar drop (from 983K on the first week to 2xxK this week.. I was really shocked.. I thought it would sell at least 300 to 400K this week...)

PS: I just use Kumi's album as an example to generalize the low sales. I'm not comparing them... pls don't start any fight because of that... I do bring B'z up as well... probly HYDE, hikki, Exile, ASIAN KUNG FU GENERATION, etc.. @@
