I don't think the Tales version will help anymore...
I've been told that it's sold out... I guess there was only 50K made??

Hopefully they'll make a second print of something... ?

it's amazing what this release of only five songs is doing!!

Back at #1 in its third week! So awesome.

......... w00t?? AMAZING BOOST??
I'm not really expecting this O__O"

So cool, the sales keep increasing! Go ayu!! >:3

#2 with 2592 - the total sales should be 176,605 but Tal will double-check that :)

AAA are back at #1 with 5k+

So it seems 20+k for this week.

she's gonna be #2 this week

6th Day
Position: #2
Sales: 2,592
Daily Sales: 19,317
Total Sales: 176,605

ah lol, back to first day number again xD
But at least, this time she's really stable :)

Tales version may be sold out online, but Shibuya's Tower Records still has copies. I assume other big music retailers in Tokyo would still have some.

But yes, I would say quantities are generally low haha.

auwh~ not bad ^^
keep it up !

Yay :) so hoping for 200k in the ling run

OMG I was so shocked when I looked at the first page and saw the sales doubling from one day to the next haha Her sales have always had steady declines the last years(with the exception of MW-magic) and now it's suddenly jumpy xD It would be amazing if she managed to secure a daily #1 sometime next week as well...but highly unlikely.

love how stable FIVE sales is..

I just realized that in week 3 she sold better than Love Songs the last days! Weekly sales will probably be around the same, FIVE has a good chance of selling more than Love Songs week 3 and possibly the weeks after as the gaps have been getting smaller and smaller, it will probably have more longevity than Love Songs

EDIT: Added RnRC, FIVE almost certainly has a better third week than those 2 had.

im so happy we gon break 20k this week!!

Considering all that, FIVE should sell another 40k with no problems.

I agree. We don't see the adverts everywhere on buildings, CMs, in-store displays, or anything like what we used to see even for a single.

There's significantly less promotion by Avex as the years pass by though. I know she's not in her "it-girl phase" anymore, but considering she still has clout in the business, it's a little disappointing that Avex isn't giving her their best, even at this point in her career.

A fraction of the immense promotion Avex used to do for her would have a noticeable impact on sales, it always does. I don't think she has to play her songs everywhere, but a 30-story poster on the side of a skyscraper in downtown Tokyo will definitely draw some attention.

I just think Avex is letting her taper off by not giving her their best on new releases. Then again, I also think Ayu is tapering it off too by not finding ways to stay relevant in this industry. I don't necessarily want to see her become a one-woman KARA, but a change of pace like Suzuki Ami did may help freshen up her career for her and the fans. (I've always wondered how awesome an j-trance album from Ayumi would be... :D)

The AKB act would be nothing if those girls weren't hanging their breasts out in adverts on every sidewalk, building, car, boat, and plane. But it's what makes the money right now... Which just gave me an idea... Maybe Ayu should...? ...Oh, nevermind. :innocent

the sales are good and stable without TV-performances... I hope it doesn't mean that next time ayu won't do much TV-promotion too :dead2

I can't believe it hit #1 again this week!
