I was so amazed at that one too~ ahaha
So I just chose 4 - 6 as a fair estimate.. LOL

But in that way, still, you are right.. sales I think were starting to fall even then.

I am pretty sure if A BEST was not released in competition to Utada, it would have sold MUCH more..
Big mistake with Avex LOL

Oh well~ at least we know Green will be a solid sales..
Even if not #1 for a week, it will be at least for a day..
And I think that's fine, because most people will probably buy it in iTunes..
And not stores?~

Oricon should really enter partnership with online things. LOL

yeah, GREEN will surelly be #1 for a little while, maybe not for more than a week, but still it'll sale very good^^

But yea the physical copies are going down..which is a shame. : / I can't believe people would rather download something than own a physical copy.. I'd prefer paying $20 extra for a physical copy any time.

@nagamori: Haha maybe. But somehow I think that if she'd go worldwide she'd lose her #1 streak. : P thus if she does go worldwide she'd take a second alias so she can keep her Ayumi Hamasaki #1 streak. Like Hikki.

If you mean to a sudden promotion and gifting then you're correct (if they can invest in them).

Days/GREEN (and not GREEN) will be most likely #1, there's no competition also ^-^ so it's great.

Hopefully! MW covers were all the same. XD

I think quality songs are what's most important. Ayu was popular around 2003 when she released MA but i'm sure her forgiveness and no way to say sales were quite a shock after the 2002 single sales high. MA was a very well compiled mini-album (lol same initials) with great individual songs. Even the non-single songs were well done (BoY especially IMO). If she releases a mini-album of a high standard, it will sell reasonably well i'm sure. I'm a little selfish in the sense that i want my ayu album at the end of the year lol. I see Days/GREEN a little like B&D/Pride, a herald for the new album. It may hurt the single sales but it'd be good promotion for the album. Gone were the days where she can release re-cut singles and complementing singles with the album (SURREAL, appears).

I am excited about this release. I hope this can show that ayu is still at the top of her game. I also hope maikaru is right in that this is just a cycle of bad vocals and it'll get much better in the future. Sort of like the economy :P

i think forgiveness and B&D/Pride kinda shook the japanese audience...i dunno..after those two were released, u do see some fall..

i really hope Days/GREEN will be able to generate the AYu-hype once again..(im sure it already has)..
Its weird that her first a-side Days has no tie-in O.O

rakeru 25th October 2008 06:32 PM

i'm hoping it's as non-commercial as MW... but not enough to freak out the Japanese.

miroro 25th October 2008 06:53 PM

i want Days to be super upbeat and dance!!
something like real me + STEP you :)

ayu_ready? 25th October 2008 07:02 PM

Thanks so much!!!

How do you write kidzukimashita in JP though? The dzu part. o_O I heard kitsukimashita.. I hate that sentence. It's like

kono koi nikitsukimashita

The koi ni kitsu part is weird
