A Song For The Sky -Official ayaka Thread 2 -
Sing to the Sky Era Description: Following the release of her million selling album First Message, ayaka released WINDING ROAD, a collaboration with popular group Kobukoro. The single was very popular, managing to sell roughly 350,000 copies. Unfortunately, the positioning of her singles began to drop through the next couple releases. Jewelry day managed to stay strong at 2, CLAP & LOVE / Why placed 5th for two weeks and was ayaka's first single to be released in both CD and CD + DVD format, 手をつなごう / 愛を歌おう (Te wo Tsunagou / Ai wo Utaou) placed at 7 while おかえり (Okaeri) hit 6 for the week. She also released a digital single, For today. Her sophomore album, Sing to the Sky, is certainly something to celebrate so let's sing along with ayaka!! Sing to the Sky Tracklisting: POWER OF MUSIC Ai wo Utaou (愛を歌おう; Let's Sing Love) SKY Jewelry day Good Night Baby (グンナイベイビー) For today Why Gold Star (ゴールドスター) Mahoutsukai no Shiwaza (魔法使いのしわざ; The Magician's Deeds) Te wo Tsunagou (手をつなごう; Let's Hold Hands) Ai mo Uso mo Shinjitsu (愛も嘘も真実; Love, Lies and Truth) CLAP & LOVE Kimi ga Iru Kara (君がいるから; Because I Have You) Okaeri (おかえり; Welcome Home) Kon'ya mo Hoshi ni Dakarete (今夜も星に抱かれて; Wrapped in the Stars Tonight) WINDING ROAD (ayaka x Kobukuro (絢香×コブクロ)) (bonus track) I Believe (English ver.)

oh finally a new thread for her
http://wiki.theppn.org/Sing_to_the_Sky a bit sore that Peace Loving People & Meiro are not included especially Peace Loving People as it seems to me that she loves to perform that no. live a lot of times during performances I'm still baffled as to how come melody ~SOUNDS REAL~ & Real voice charted so badly especially melody ~SOUNDS REAL~ :S

OMG, I like Okaeri but I would've preferred Meiro be the A-side...Meiro should've been a bonus track or something...it was soooo good!!
yeah karenpang, that's kinda weird...but at least Mikadzuki got great sales

I guess so Kevin although by right Mikazuki is not her highest selling single to date but rather it's WINDING ROAD that she did with Kobukuro
& oh btw , in case you're not sure , the 'pang' in my username's my surname

I think at this point in time , digital sales are making more of an impact than the physical CD sales cos it's more convenient to purchase music from the net rather than to head to the CD store to pick up a physical CD at that having said that I still buy physical CDs because unlike music that you can download from the net & delete them real easily with a click of a button , you can't do that for a CD + I think it's only fair to pay musicians for the efforts/time that they put into making an album

With the rise in digital sales, Oricon really should take those into account and it's kind of annoying that they don't...

I know , Oricon a bit silly not to do so especially since in this century , it's the age where digital sales are going to be more superior than their CD sales counterpart . They really should consider to include digital sales in the mix cos I'm sure it will sorta make the equation more balance in that sense

I don't remember ayaka's digital sales but maybe CLAP & LOVE / Why would have benefitted from it. That single was gold and was her first (and only) one to be released in 2 formats. She still got 5, it doesn't make sense. Must have been hard competition... However Sing to the Sky looks to be doing well from that NINKI I really hope she breaks the million mark!! I already like this album more than First Message (although the cover is miles worse)

STOS - I hope so although it's going to be a bit difficult to say whether can that be done . First Message was really good , I hope the non singles songs on STOS will be on par if not slightly more superior than the singles on the album Am relieved that WINDING ROAD's included in the album

for me some of the song titles on STOS are interesting like Mahoutsukai no Shiwaza (魔法使いのしわざ; The Magician's Deeds) & Gold Star . I hope it will sound as interesting as the titles

魔法使いのしわざ didn't really interest me as much as others 愛も嘘も真実 (Love, Lies and Truth) and 今夜も星に抱かれて (Wrapped In The Stars Tonight) sound like awesome titles and have the previews to back it up
