Shuchishin #1 on daily (04/09) chaku-uta (35k) and chaku-uta full (50k).

Wow. That was a quick LITTLE #1 Run for Ayumi. Hehehe.

Also I had to do a doubletake to realize that that was Utada at the #5 Spot b/c I was thinking to myself, shouldn't "Prisoner of Love" be on this list, I was sure it was up in the spots. So I was disappointed. Then I saw it of course. That Single cover just doesn't jump out at me.

I'm confused here - I thought Prisoner Of Love was to be released in May? How can it be on the charts already?

People are still able to download the song being that it has been released on Utada's HEART STATION Album, just as if there weren't plans for it to be re-released as a single. People are still able to get it as of now. Just like "Fight The Blues" is on the charts, although there isn't a physical single of it.

"Prisoner of Love" was on the charts long before a Single for it was announced.

Melon Panda 11th April 2008 02:18 AM

Oh, now I understand. :) It's nice that it's charting, although hopefully that won't diminish the single's sales.

ooh! ayu's gonna break 100k for the first week! impressive :D

Melon Panda 11th April 2008 06:43 PM

I hope Ayumi's #1 weekly streak isn't broken by a boyband. Also, while YUI's album will probably sell between 300K and 400K overall, I'm surprised it dropped so fast (she's suppose to be very popular at the moment, right?). Maybe it'll pick up later on.

njanjayrp 11th April 2008 08:55 PM

Yeah, YUI went down pretty fast, not that she deserves much better tough ^^ but I thought she was more popular.

OMG @ Shuchishin. So close to Ayu.

TITANIC 12th April 2008 01:58 PM

too close with ayu.they should not surpass ayu

KaoriNeko 12th April 2008 03:10 PM

I don't think they'll sell another 10K...it's like the fourth day, sales should be declining.

AyuGAME 12th April 2008 05:06 PM

^but the fact is that they sales is increase and sales more than their first day sales...and its rarely happen!!!
OMG...i just can't believe it, if ayu beat by those newcomer and lose her number one streak...

austin. ♥ 13th April 2008 01:55 AM

Enough of about Ayu thanks, I want to nag.

I hate Ninki! It's the most stupid-est thing ever! They said both my precious melody. and Sowelu were going to be top 3 and got my hopes up. Today Sowelu is at #16 and melody. is at number flippin' 24! Big 'effing difference! :grumpy

And ugh. Why couldn't Ayu's streak end after Mirrorcle World? :<

ayu_fan929 13th April 2008 02:15 AM

NINKI isn't a ranking-predictor nor is it a sales predictor.

austin. ♥ 13th April 2008 02:39 AM

Yes, I know. But it's supposed to give a vague idea of what people are interested in that week, and well if they're are interested in it they're obviously going to buy unless they're poor. And I'm sorry, but #3 to #24, how stupid. Maybe people were lying to try and look cool? :cool

Luv ~Venus~ 13th April 2008 02:53 AM

^You can't forget about releases the week before. Ninki is basically about people's interest of releases that initial week. Just because people have a certain interest in that week doesn't mean that aren't interested in the previous week(s). I bet if Oricon was to ask the same question last week with this week, people would've still been interest in the previous week while the new releases would've been high in the top or lower bottom. I would've loved for Sowelu and melody to debut in the top ten but there are and were too many interesting releases before their albums for people to forget about.

Did that help a little bit austin? :laugh Or did I answer what u already knew?

Melon Panda 13th April 2008 06:09 AM

Shuchishin will have to sell close to 20K to surpass Ayumi's last day of the week sales, which I don't find likely. Their sales may have gone up today, but it's unlikely to keep shooting up. Still, the race is too close to comfort - I don't even want to think about them having the bragging rights of "ending Ayumi's #1 weekly streak." That honor should be given to someone like Utada or some other very established and popular artist. Not a boyband.

I know, I expected melody. to do way better, and this is the 2nd time they got my hopes up, the first was with Shima, they said Nakitai nara would be in top 3 XD

4k to 12k in one day for Ayu? I'm not pointing fingers but that's quite an interesting jump ;) There is only 8k between her at Shuchishin. Also Hikki is really doing well... still at #3 with 5k index points. Thelma moved up to #4 as well.

Shuchishin's sales also jumped, so Ayumi's sales don't seem that surprising. I can imagine her concert pushing consumers to buy more.

If I remember correctly, it was their first single after one of their members got suspended for underage drinking.

ll moments ll 14th April 2008 01:09 AM

K8's single was supposed to be released earlier, then got pushed back when Uchi got caught underage drinking. they had to re-record the single w/o Uchi & it got released at the same time as HEAVEN.

"Sukiyanen, Osaka/Mugendai/Sakura Enka (Oh! ENKA)" was their breakthrough single nevertheless. they were barely selling before then.

i'm pretty amazed at Ayu's sales increase. o_o

dddaiyamondo 14th April 2008 02:49 AM

At first I was rooting for Shuchishin, but recently I've really started to like "Mirrorcle World." Such an awesome song, so GO AYU!!! This is probably my favorite single of hers since "BLUE BIRD."

I just knew "Prisoner of Love" and the Drama Tie-In would give Utada's HEART STATION sales a boost. Very good job indeed. #3

I can't wait until the "Prisoner of Love" Single starts charting.

Melon Panda 15th April 2008 12:56 AM

It's totally going to do well. The drama may cause some people to be skeptical about subject matters, but the song has a DEEP-RIVER-era vibe that will definitely attract people.

I think it's more Distance-era. Sounds like "For You" and "Sangurasu" to me. POL and K&C totally sound like they could've been on Distance, that's why I luuuv them.

I'm glad HEART STATION's charting so well. My hope for a million-sales album may not be too far off after all.

Luv ~Venus~ 16th April 2008 12:45 AM

^Yea....she only needs to sell 282K at this point. Hopefully HS will still be charting at the end of this year. If it does then it will definitely achieve a million. It's already at 700k and its only 4 or 5 weeks. That's pretty quick for a female solo artists album. It won't take long for HS to achieve 850k. :yes

CoriKaru 16th April 2008 02:41 AM

Nice to see HEART STATION Charting in this thread again. Feels good.

Melon Panda 16th April 2008 02:52 AM

Although I didn't really like ULTRA BLUE, I was a little disappointed it didn't sell over a million copies (even if it was close). If HEART STATION manages what ULTRA BLUE failed to do, then it'll somewhat reaffirm Utada's status as a million-copies-per-album artist. I know it's not a big deal, but the Utada fan in me is crossing her fingers. Ayumi probably won't make another million-sales studio album, but Utada's still got a chance.

At any rate, I don't want my favorite artists to lose to EXILE in terms of sales. Even if it's inevitable, which I'm going to insist it's not. :)

I know, how disappointing is 910k? But if it comforts you at all, she did manage to sell over a million worldwide.

ayumixfan 16th April 2008 06:04 AM

^ Wha Ultra Blue hasn't hit the 1 mil status yet? I tot it did like overtime XD!

Luv ~Venus~ 16th April 2008 06:11 AM

^:laugh So technically she is still a million-copies-per-album artist. lol You know, something bothers me about her Japanese fans. Where the heck ar they? First Love like crazy and it just makes me think, "What happened to 7+ million fans?" I mean, she lost 2.5 million of them when she released Distance then she lost like 800K with the release of Deep River and then she lost like 2.6 million of her fans with Ultra Blue. I makes me sad to think that with her 1st 3 albums, she didn't have big tie-ins but now she practically has to have a decent tie-in to sale. :weep What happened to the Utapower? :cry

ayumixfan 16th April 2008 06:15 AM

^ lol I guess iW as wrong =x I can't remember where but I remember there being an article about ultra blue reaching the million mark XD! YEAH thats so true =x What did happens to all the utada fans =x !? Maybe they're just downloading her materials instead of buying it now =( ~!

ayu_fan929 16th April 2008 06:26 AM

Most of the First Love/Distance/Deep River buyers were probably just casual listeners and not necessarily fans imo.

ayumixfan 16th April 2008 06:28 AM

^ oh =O lol I guess that would make sense. But still @_@! Wonder why they all of a sudden stopped listening to Hikki =x

I tell you what happened to them.......the 21st Century and it's illegal/legal downloads. Hmph.

So many ways to get Album Material now without actually having to purchase the Album.......this is what has happened to Utada's fans and other fans of other Artists.

Sales overall in this day and age show this and can be accredited to this.

njanjayrp 16th April 2008 09:39 AM

god all the sales have dropped greatly XD

I think the most important factor is the fact that the Japanese music industry in general has been in a major decline. Sales aren't nearly what they used to be. Here are the top selling albums for 2001:

1 Utada Hikaru Distance 4,404,290
2 Ayumi Hamasaki A Best 4,248,640
3 Southern All Stars Ballad 3 ~The Album of Love~ 2,659,630
4 Glay Drive ~Glay Complete Best~ 2,637,420
5 Morning Musume Best! Morning Musume. 1 2,240,810

Now look at the top selling albums for 2007:

1 Mr.Children HOME 1,181,241
2 Koda Kumi Black Cherry 1,022,448
3 Kobukuro ALL SINGLES BEST 852,637
4 Avril Lavigne The Best Damn Thing 848,912
5 Hamasaki Ayumi A BEST 2 -WHITE- 716,582

The sales of the top selling album, HOME, would've only ranked #17 back in 2001. How sad is that? Hikki's first few albums were also really pop phenomenons, and people who weren't even hardcore fans were buying her albums. She still relies on a lot of casual fans, but not nearly as many are interested anymore.

KarenPang 16th April 2008 10:24 AM

I wouldn't say it's sad but you can definitely tell technology's the in thing now

people would rather download songs from the net than to purchase a physical copy of a CD which's sad

thank you for the info

CoriKaru 16th April 2008 04:49 PM

I wouldn't say Utada "relies on casual" fans. And if I did think that way, her recent sale numbers would have completely wiped that notion from my mind.

ayu_fan929 16th April 2008 06:36 PM

Most artists sales are based on casual listeners and not on your hardcore base though, at least that's what I think. Maybe people have moved on to something new or just got bored/tired of Hikki.

CoriKaru 16th April 2008 06:49 PM

Obviously they haven't though. She's doing fantastic.

Probably because she's snagged the best commercial tie ins of the last two years. Imagine how well HS would've done without Eva, HYD2, and LF.

It's doing pretty much the exact same as UB, so I fail to see how tie-ins have really helped her. I'm pretty sure no one is buying this album because of Evangelion lol.

Well we were talking about "where did the 3 million people go?" Some went away because legal downloads but I think most just moved on from Hikki.

I can't believe that ayu's Mirrorcle World is still on the top 5/10 on recochaku, this song's type is so not what the japanese crowd are into, I think it's amazing!

Shuchishin breaks Thelma's 11 week #1 streak.

Well yeah, I know we were and I actually stated the exact same thing about the downloads. I just don't think "MOST" moved on. I think "MOST" moved on to digital download.

And w00t! for Utada making the number 2 spot even after all of this time with the Album being out.

Not to mention #2 on both Japan iTunes Single and Album Charts. Downloads be serious business. :bgiggle

EDIT: 100th POST! Perfect 100th Post to have. :shimmy

The thing is downloading entire albums isn't even big in Japan. Singles, yes but albums no.

I think it's very obvious why Hikki lost her fans : with each album she is just shifting further away from the accessable pop/RnB sound of her first albums, and her new sound is just appealing to less people.

First Love & Distance had catchy & very mainstream-appealing songs like Wait & See , Automatic, Addicted to You, Can You Keep a Secret? which are just a lot better than anything off Ultra Blue or HEART STATION.

I like pretty much all songs off First Love & Distance and much of Deep River, but only COLORS off Ultra Blue & Stay Gold off HEART STATION.

Ha. Well that's all up for debate b/c I highly disagree. Just opinion though so no matter.

Ohh Whats LF LOL

I'll agree that UB had some singles that were not catchy at all, but HS definitely does. Music sales are declining, it's not really a decline in her popularity as much. Hikki is still one of the biggest artists out there right now, maybe only EXILE is hotter than her at the moment. She's definitely riding a new wave of popularity at the moment, there's no denying that.

I still prefer her Deep River & UB stuff the most, while to me Deep River is her best album. HS was fine, tough but not as amazing.
