Sad about her not getting #1, but at least she's likely to sell over 500k.

It's the "GUILTY" album:yes

That's actually 100% impossible. XD

Baaah the sales aren't too bad at all =)

I really thought she got the #1 spot though o.O
Eeeh nevermind =)

wonderfull number ^^

Yup. But the hope never dies, lmao. With the earing lose news people will start to want the album, lol.

nice sales considering the bad sales of singles :D

#2 ..... what's happening? ;(

its nowhere wrote she got number 2 yet...

Good sales! It doesn't matter that she lost No 1 position, but I think she'll return it (at least Namie returned to #1!). Anyway this album is awesome! I'm glad she sales MUSIC and not image and various bonuses...
AYU is THE BEST!

good sales for me
Guilty is an awesome album
it doesn't matter for me if she gets #1 or not

....Dear Ayu's Japanese fans
...GULTY is an awesome album so go and buy it! Help her get number 1...

I blame illegal downloading for sales being less than before, it's affected the music industry everywhere.

That's not to blame. It's been around for so long without really affecting sales.

I think what IS affecting it is iTunes. It's SO much more convenient, so I think people would rather pay about the price for a CD single for a non-existent album.

But either way, they're paying. So it's nothing much.

I cannot believe she didnt make number 1
this is so sad :weep

^It was really close. I didn't think that ORICON would combine the KOBUKURO numbers...unless I'm misunderstanding it? Did 5296 really sell an extra 480k this week?? =O

The sales are WAY better than I thought they'd be, though!!! ^O^ Great news!

No, downloading is not really to blame. BLAME Oricon. They need to get with the program and realize that downloading is a big profit. The Billboard charts are really includes downloading....why can't Oricon see that?! :grumpy

True. I just think it's not fair that they won't count the "new year week" or whatever?
She would've been number one for you know!!!! :weep lol

what do u mean? they did even though they didn't update during that time.

Ohhhhhhhhh.
Sorryy I was confused....OH no what I meant was, that whole week, if they had've counted that as the FIRST week and not combined, the album would've been number 1, you know?

Where does the news 'didn't get no. 1' came from?... I can't see updated weekly charts on Oricon website yet...
