hmm, as expected but at least Secret is going to pass the 650k mark :yes

What a dramatic drop!

These week has dropped too much...let's hope next week will sell the same!

Come on Ayu fans...buy the album!!!!!!
 

Like everyone else says, I hope Secret sells more the M (u) too. I think M (U) was alright but Secret even better which will be a very big upset to me if Secret doesn't sell more than M(U). Good Luck, Ayu!!!!!!!:D

If she'd sing something OTHER than freaking JEWEL live we'd probably see better sales..
Seriously, she's overdone JEWEL already.. beautiful song and all, nice vid.. but.. get over it already.. do something BETTER live already.. we've had how many JEWEL lives now?

These sales are disappointing of course, but that doesn't change that I love this album alot. .. a 72% drop is just.. gut wrenching..

Hey, people, it isn't the end of the world. What's with the dramatics? You're all acting like someone ran over your kitties. I doubt Ayu's going to be up all night crying and wondering why she didn't sell a million right out of the gate.

Those sales aren't even that bad. You'll all live. No need to get melodramatic over it.

The sell's are still very good for this years!she is still on the top!And I'm 100% sure Secret will be sell a long time so it will get more sells week by week!I'm sure it will grow up at Countdown!^^
anyway, I really LOVE this Album and it did a great sell!^^it got still number one

I'm just wondering about that most of the artist that release a single, an album, a tour or whatever the sales of their old releases increase a bit and maybe they appear again in the charts. But with Ayu that doesn't happen... or that's what I think... With the release of Secret, it could increase (m)u or BLUE BIRD I think... Let's hope that will happen at Christmas and with the COUNTDOWN and the ASIAN TOUR!!! GO AYUU!

it'll reach 700k eventually.. XD

That's disappointing. The album is great and deserves better.

*sigh*

OMG its over

i think that people got fed up with all of these "secrets" and decided not to buy this album. hahaha well thats my theory for these disappointing sales.

but still, with the increase in popularity for other types of music, more rock, emo, etc. : it makes popish singers even harder to sell their albums because it's already been said and done.

72%.
thats crazy

I really think that ayu should sing something else than JEWEL. She needs to give people more felling of what the album is like. She is using one song to promote the whole album. She has done it like 10 time already. The album gives me more of a rock fell to it and she is using a ballad to promote it. Also this album and her style is becoming more diva-ish. I think that it is turning some of her fans away.

I hate to be a broken record but...

disappointing...

Secret and JEWEL have a lot of legal download , Don't forget that !
(Secret 6th this week (last week 2nd and ?) and JEWEL number 2 !) Now It's very important (watch on Itune or other web site !)

Uhh...maybe people think it's still a mini-album!! THAT'S GOTTA BE IT! lol :)

I think so too.
Japanese probably prefers ballad Ayu?

Only sales made within Japan / Japanese online shops are only counted on Oricon. Furthermore, it's illegal to sell OS versions in Japan, so having Secret as the themesong of Confessions of Pain does not have impact on sales imo.
