Ouch..,
I hope it gets certified gold

this is one for the books...
a very good album indeed. sadness really.

Would it be bad if i said that I'm sad BUT NOT surprised that it is selling badly?

well her sales go down naturally with every release... So who knows.
I knew she would drop, but by this much?

I wonder what a full album will do?

If her sales are going down with each release...
And if she doesn't promote it...
It could sell as much as or less than again.
I'd die the day an Ayu album sold less than an angela Aki album

How much did this cd sell in its 2nd week anyway?

i think we will find out tomorrow

If she do this, will she get the record?
"First artist to have 5 different releases reaching top 10 for 5 consecutive months"

I know, it's very random lol

I don't think A CLASSICAL can be in top 10, unfortunately.

what are the other releases that week?

I think A Classical has a shot at Top 10 for sure. Even A Clips sold 10k+ with that big price.

me neither..

I think if her 'fans' can get over themselves long enough it might have a chance.

Hmm I don't know, she doesn't need to sell much to make the top 10. It's possible depending on how many bests are being released that week.

I know I may be buying
BUT NOT with my money.
My parents owe me something and this is a good opportunity.

Judging from the look of things A CLASSICAL will be releasing on that week of 9th Jan , it has quite a good chance to get top 10

not so sure how good/bad Shoko Nakagawa & BOOM BOOM SATELLITES sell like in general :O

At least she's not releasing a single on that week since Hey ! Say ! JUMP's Yamada Ryosuke will be releasing his debut solo single Mystery Virgin

Agreed :yes

I don't think this is a MAJOR release - I consider this a minor release... The ones that are most likely to buy would be Ayu "superfans", not newcomers...

2nd Week
Position: #17
Sales: 10,012
Official Total Sales: 44,414

Shokotan is not a strong seller. There is no chance that she may win against Ayu according to me. However if it's happen I'll be happy for her.

above my expectations... good numbers

Yeah, I'm glad that it will at least be able to sell around 55,000-60,000 in total.
For A CLASSICAL my personal target is 10,000-15,000 in total. :)
