everybody let's buy from CDJAPAN!!! then the things i.ve bout counts! haha yayyyy!

if it really counts towards Oricon, i will buy it from CDJapan~!

if it counts towards Oricon.. I'll buy from CDJapan

I'm buying her new album from CDJapan also...I hope it counts towards the sales in Oricon...

plus cdjapan is better than yesasia in handling your items!! you can buy all your ayu CDs at cdjapan and the rest at yesasia if you like! n_n that's what I do!... yesasia is from hong kong so the sale count matters only in hong kong right?

oh but CDJapan only sells Japanese versions right?

so expensive :(

yes, CDjapan only sells JPN versions

another update: still no. 3 today.. so..

But now I doubt that it could pass 100k for the first week... I'm so sad:cry :cry Ayu's record is about to be broken...:weep

oh no... :vsad

Is the weekly out today? Hhmmm I wonder if she made 2nd. Course You have to remember that around half the sales are made on first day, so one would assume the 2nd most sales are on the second day, etc... so we can only hope for the best :)

^the early results r gonna b out today=monday in US/Canada

*is nervous*

Ayu! Why'd you have to go and promote B&D like that! I hope she makes #1... It's Monday... 0_o() The day of reconing!

Hhmmm I'm so nervous :(

A bit worried
 

A huge first day sale should be enough to claim weekly number 1, I think. Since the current #1 and #2 are not new releases. But I'm still kind of worried though. Ayu should have held back the release date of and info on the upcoming album till after B&D single release, to gain more sales.

AYU IS # 1 AGAIN!!

Woohoo! Sales are kind of disappointing, though.

OMG!!! no. 1 albeit 84K copies being sold! That's...

1) people hate ayu suddenly (I doubt it),
2) people dun like B&D/Pride (I kinda doubt that), OR
3) people waitin' for the new album! (YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!)

no matter what, congratulations ayu!!!! You next step is to kick seiko down to no. 2 and get your 26th no. 1!!!!!!!:luv2

I think another reason may be that fans have put this single on their Christmas list and family members don't really have to go purchase it within the 1st day or week it has been released and that may be why there is not many sales for this week!

sales r really, really, disappointing 84,000?? thats really low. in fact, about ~4,000 higher than BML.
the differench btwn #1-3 r really really close. i did some calculations.
#1 (ayu): 84,000
#3: 81,000
that means #2 (most likely Seishun Amigo) had sales of 81000-84000!!!
