Great!!

Thanks for this!

No! Sell, little friend, sell! *Hugs the "ROCK OUT!"-ish`ness of Startin'.* And who could forget the happy, enthusiastic, united, overwhelming dance feeling of Born To Be?! And... and... TEENS! Who could overlook Ayu's 'Mickey Mouse' voice! I wanna be a sweet angel... ANO GORO WA ITSUMO! ;-; LIVE ON, 39TH SINGLE! LIVE ON!

Thanks for posting. Maybe she'll make it to 200K...after a month or two. XD

thats because its the week end. by tmr, she'll be off again.

and cos of the drops each week, i think the single mite continue selling for maybe a month more before it stops selling

can't say anything about it
just hope the best

I don't think many singles really stop selling..

They just sell a lot less than usual..

:]

Keep selling..

Thanks for posting.

it'll definitely reach 200,000, but I think it deserves more!

Thanks for the information!
I still have hope that this will reach 200k.

Hmm.. Not bad really. ^^ I think with some time and luck, it just might reach 200 000. Since Onimusha gamers might just buy it..

yeah! give it more time!! i believe it can do it!

maybe in a few months time she will reach 200k :'(

I heard that alot of people are buying off Itunes and such plus I also heard like music downloads in general are soaring...

so it isn't ONLY her...

in a few month she might reach 200,000 but it really doesnt matter cause it did better than B&D.

I guess selling better than B&D is a really good first step already. Hopefully the next single can build on this.

Let's keep our fingers crossed :)

so little the sales... sighs..
i thought her single are usually sold more than 300k...
sighs...

i have confidence in Ayu :D

I'm still hoping for 200k, I think this single definitely deserved better sales.

im going to be posting the (m)u sales here as well....

They usually do. But if you look at the sales for the last few months across the board, sales have been low - these last few months have really been a major slump for just about everyone.

For some reason, I see a correlation to the bad sales and something.. but w/e xD

Most likely sales will pick up this season. :]

not that I don't have faith in Ayu .. but I really suspect only Ayu singles took this drop ...

most ayu single tend to sell around 300K even when other singles are selling like they do now ... (pre-B&D days of course)

... and this single is really good .. i'm surprised it didn't go near 300K even .. hopefully her next single will sell back a lot

is it also low for other artists as well?

so maybe sales for all artists have gone down so now the average sales is much lower?

Well, if you look at the last singles released by BoA, Utada, Koda, Mika, and Hyde, none of them got to 150,000 - most didn't even make it past 100,000. And I don't think many singles have passed 200,000 since Dec. except for a few groups like Kat-tun(which is to be expected after all the hype.)

Also it hasn't taken much sales to reach number one. If you look at the list of lowest selling singles to reach #1, most of them have come out between Fall 05 and now.

I guess the real test will be the sales ranking this week because B'z has a new single coming out and their sales are the most comparable to Ayu's.

hhohohohohoh no comment./.. nice

kinda true. the top 10 is pretty much je-dominated, but the overall sales are ok. so far, theres like around 13 singles to pass 200k; and ayaka's (debut?) single did pass 200k as well making it the only female single to do that. so i guess it really depends on the song, and not the artist (that is for solo artists, not groups)

i was hoping for a similarity in her 2005 sales. oh well

LOL amen!

Actually it depends on what dorama the song is used in. :) That's the reason why the Ayaka song passed 200,000, it was the theme song from a dorama that was being promoted all over the place at the time I was visiting.

OMG, so little until a million for "(m)u"!

Thanks for updating m(u) sales!
The sales is so slow!I hope it can reach 900k very soon.

haha, we should tell ayu to buy 20,000 copies of her own album to make it go 1,000,000 XDDD

...or one of us could do it? : -D

Ouch, her sales have been kinda bad lately :(

20,000 x ~3,000yen = 60,000,000yen. or US$~505,000. and that wouldnt even guarantee the album a million.

^or 140k copies :D
