^ this

I hate that kind of feeling! >_<"


Im STILL optimistic she'll get decent sales

We will probably start seeing numbers (if oricon is back to update) on Tuesday since that's when the 2nd week starts.

If they want a last day of the 1st week+2nd week it will be welcomed too. :P

People shouldn't jump though if they see 8,000 on the daily LOL.

Yup, it's not like it hasn't happened before ^_^

I'm a little confused...
Did Ayu release in week 3 which will be combined with 4?
So we'll get the true weekly in a week or so?

^

ayu released in the last week of 2009 and will have the sales combined with the first week of 2010

hmm,is the weekly chart updated?
i saw the date is : 2010 年 01 月 04 日 付
but i don't see ayu's name

any news today??

mm so wierd there is still no sales info~~~:S

they only updated the sales of the releases that were out the 23th or december, the sales of the releases that were out last week will be updated next week and will have the sales of the last week and this one we are starting ^^

Wow, I didn't realize we wouldn't be seeing totals for last week until next week...

Crap. If I remember correctly, Ayu doesn't have the strongest second week sales. Let's hope the first week sales were so large it's okay if her second week aren't that great.

will the limited box sold at yoyogi containing all 3 versions of you were.../ballad count on oricon?

ayu's 2nd week sales are usually a 12-18% drop from her first week..singles wise

The thing is that even with low 2nd week there won't be a problem.
Both because she usually outsell kanjani8's singles (specially limited) 2nd+3rd weeks in one day and fukuyuma will probably get the #2 spot with tops of 30,000-50,000 I suppose. So no threat.

I think someone said that Oricon decided on year ago not to count the CD sales in the concert venues because avex (and other companies) could manipulate the numbers... but even if they would still count concert sales, those box were a gift, people didn't pay for them... well, they had to bring with them the purchase tickets of You were/BALLAD 3 versions (3 tickets) and then they could get the box... it's a really good marketing.... 2010 people had to buy 3 singles in order to get the box, and they had to buy 3 singles in stores from the streets... ^^

And yeah... I thinkt here's nothing to worry about... kanjani's 1st and 2nd week updated yesterday right? so there's no way someone can beat Ayhu's 1st and 2nd week ^^

AyuChina just posted the sales for first two days, it's as follows:
12/28 1 44,166 total 44,166
12/29 1 17,794 total 61,960

Edit: the third day is out also
12/30 *1　*9,248　total 71,280

source: Oricon club

Yeah oricon said they will count just %30 from the numbers given as I recall. xD

Yeah ayu's single is "against" kanjani8's 2nd+3rd week. ^^

Oricon didn't update today! Hopefully tomorrow.

^Thanks! We should probably wait though for a source or oricon to update.

I don't know what to think... 45K first day seems posible... and 18K the second... that's a big drom isn't it?? maybe too much XDDD she usually have a big drop but... I don't know... but well... if the second day was 18K I hope the other days she had similar numbers and arrive to 100K easily ^^

^If it's true though it might have sold consistently throughout the week.
GUILTY's first days were lower than NEXT LEVEL but were more consistent and overall GUILTY sold more.
(GUILTY was released on a double week too).

But yeah nothing is guranteed with today's state.

If the AyuChina numbers are correct for three days, then it should definitely have passed 100K the first week!

AND THE CHART FOR THE 4TH DAY IS
12/31
*1 10,021 浜崎あゆみ
*2 *4,339 GACKT
*3 *2,061 福山雅治
BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT XD

the 3rd and the 4th day
