oo i just saw this~ everyone's anxious for A COMPLETE!

Here we go again, I am so tired. I can't handle the pressure. But I do hope this will sell well. And I do hope this will outsell Best Fiction, but things been very unpredictable, So I don't want to predict the unpredictable. I predicted that BF would sell low, but it sold extremely well. Now, since A Complete don;t have any new song (only who, that is also not new but a remake) I predicted this would sell lower than I first predicted BF. But I dunno. Hope things go well for her.







GO AYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..................... .........

with the promising NINKI's, i think everything will be just fine...

prepare yourself for a possibility heart attack when you see a million mark within its first or 2nd week!! :P

I'll just be happy for Ayu if she gets the #1 position which is very likely looking at the NINKI figures... I think people are hoping a little too much for amazing sales figures as I don't think Ayu's popular enough anymore to sell as much as Namie or other comparable artists, especially as this is just a repacked A BEST 2 with a different DVD, its only saving grace is that its cheap

Looks like many people are gonna compare BF with A COMPLETE.. Oh well both have different circumstances. Namie hasn't received any best for 6 yrs long and she's kinda back to the top of the game. At first I didn't expect BF would be that high as well. I was expecting its first week sales around 400K or sth, but it ended up to be 681K (highest 1st week sales this yr).

Ayu just released A BEST 2 last year, so I can't really tell how well A COMPLETE can go. If she didn't release A BEST 2 at all, I'm sure that a compilation with 3CDs and a DVD with prevoius (+ some unseen) lives would sell like crazy.

So rite now I dun even wanna compare A COMPLETE with BF. My concern is that if the Japanese people would think A COMPLETE as a good deal or not (... it's like, ayu just released A BEST 2 last yr, so do they think it's wise enough to get another compilation off ayu??). To me, if A COMPLETE can break over 800K, it means ayu's popularity is still pretty good. I do hope that it can break over 1 million copies in the end.

Well, the index is very promising but we can't expect it to be the best selling album of 2008. The good thing is that japanese people love this kinds of compilations. I guess it will sell around 900k (overall, not first week!)

I want Ayu to stomp tha charts!

I'm not expecting A Complete to outsell Best Fiction. It'll be awesome if it can even outsell A BEST 2.

oh now i see!..making a thread in advance is better than when the sales come out and everyone is trying to make one~

but i'm still aiming high for the sales of A COMPLETE...i hope taiwan gets a lot..the price is so cheap!

tracks featured on both A BEST and A COMPLETE:

A BEST -> 13/16
A BEST 2 -WHITE- -> 9/15
A BEST 2 -BLACK- -> 7/16

on A COMPLETE 29/43 songs have already been featured, only 16 of them being in A BEST 2 (thats only 37%).
so buying A COMPLETE right after you've bought A BEST 2 isn't exactly making a bad choice, why would would the year difference release dates make a negative impact in sales? =S

the funny thing is, this album will probably be the one that kicks namie's BF out of the number 1 spot for the week--which is funny because it's ayu and namie...:P

but anyway, im hoping for good sales. if i outsells other albums this year, then awesome! if it doesnt, thats cool too :D

It would be great if A COMPLETE is able to hit a million; she haven't had one since MY STORY =/ (not taking A best 2 combined sales into account)

too near release date doesnt affect to Japnese to buy the album IMO..
You see Kuu best 2nd session release just a year after best first thing

Yeah.. everybody wants it but no one is going to buy it :sdevil

Maybe the 400 people they asked it are all ayu's fans...

whatever... It'd be nice to see ayu getting #1 in yearly charts!

don't put to much hyped on this.. if this album failed.. it hurt us more...

It absolutely not fail (imo) but it might do just normal and not extremely well or outstandingly, therefore no one should expect anything (as always) lol.

Higher expectations, greater disappointment. :innocent

Is there any possible "threats" for A COMPLETE release?

^No.
