oh my goodness, that's so cute ;_; <3 i've only been able to get my mum into ayu, but even then just barely. i put some of her softer songs on my mum's iPod for her listening pleasure, and she recognises ayu's voice enough to the point where, when she came to see me at work the other night and ayu started playing, my mom perked up and was like, "i hear her!" :heart

man, we should be getting info about the next release this week or next!!

the final release gosh..on one hand, i want it to be surprising but everyone seems to be looking at AT12 or A BEST 3

I know.. Strongly considering getting it given the rave reviews.

I dont think it will be a DVD since we were told these releases revolve around new music...

Oh no the oricon thread comes!

it will sell very gooder then 'again'.

Get on the hype train! Maybe?

A Classical is #1 on JBook at the moment which seems to track general sales of CDs across stores in Japan or sometheing like that. Usually it's a pretty good indicator of how things are selling. Just for reference, I don't think LOVE, again, A SUMMER BEST, or Party Queen got to #1 on JBook during their runs on the charts.

Yeah it gets updated every few minutes. I recall Party Queen CD+DVD managed to get into top 3, perhaps even #2, while the CD only barely entered top 10.

OMFG - -
ayu got #1

OMG. Though AK-69's album should be somewhere... maybe it won't appear until later?

This week is really a bit of a deserted wasteland for new releases. Everything that is selling other than A Classical is doing so because of Kouhaku or other factors.

Sweet goodness, I just realized that the cover is practically a drawing. :thud Mind = blown.

It's a rather good piece of pencil art imo.

Congrats to A CLASSICAL
Who would have guessed?
I was convinced that it'll drift around 10th or 9th place on the charts
It seems that there are no new releases so maybe that's why A CLASSICAL is No.1

My thoughts exactly, i oversaw your post

wait
really?
holy ****
and here i was knocking it DD:

people didn't realize it was a drawing?
wow...
lol...

I wonder what day 2 will bring.

I thought it was Photoshop photo filter at first

it was stated earlier that the cover would be hand-drawn...remember guys?

I'm kinda in awe now...
That ayu got no1 is something nice to welcome in the new year
Too bad it had to be with this specific album

Finally have my copy of A CLASSICAL!
