Oh dear lmao I almost forgot SMAP is releasing their 20th album next week D: D: D:

Guess this means A SUMMER BEST doesn't stand any chances in getting #1 next week since GIFT of SMAP has 4 editions being released :x

:dead2

no good...but never loose hope

Yeah it's almost impossible for Ayu to get #1 against SMAP. And then next week AKB is releasing an album, so there goes any chances for a second week #1 haha.

But I honestly don't think this was any plan by Avex trying to get Ayu a #1 album, otherwise they would never have released it this week.

But it could be a long seller? Maybe one of the days could get a #1 position. :) Does SMAP tend to be strong first day sellers but by 2nd and 3rd day they have a huge drop? Considering it has 4 editions I suppose that'll be the case, from all the pre-orders. Ayu also has this problem, but since it's a best album, it could chart much differently.

yeah... i think they're just releasing this best album as a summer gift since i doubt ayu will release a single or another full album this year... (maybe a digital single for the new tales of xilia theme song)

but i wont deny im sad about it =(( i miss ayu being on top...

I think it's quite good enough. There's nothing really special about this compilation anyway.

I'm actually still upset with the release date...it's just so late.

^ I agree, summer is pretty much over by the time this is out.

hope for the best for this release.

I don't think avex or anyone expected it to get #1 NINKI [and probably weekly] over SMAP.

weird,before this everyone is complaining about this release that it is just about the aim to get another no 1 spot in chart. ugh whatever avex,all the best to Ayu too,

Best album usually have more longevity on the chart

i wonder who is the competition for next week (2nd week)...maybe Ayu won't get number one on the first week, but there is still a hope for 2nd week if the competition is weak

AKB48 is releasing 1830m on 15th Aug so there's no way A SUMMER BEST can get #1 in the 1st 2 weeks of Aug

avex should have released the best album in July

Ah, so starts Ayu's tumble down the charts.

J/K, I hope she can stay in the top three! Though I agree it should have been released earlier.

I thought Johnny's groups were big single sellers...not so much in album. Their last album had a first week of 180 (back in 2010!). So maybe Ayu still has a chance.

This could be like the past when Ayu had to fight to get to the top XD

What was Party Queen's NINKI?

this is the worst year ever..ayu is not the queen she once was :(

ok.. Ayu doesn't care about #1 anymore

So it will be another album this year, I hope it's not A WINTER BEST.
I think AVEX won't let Ayu lose her record about being the only artist (I guess) to has No.1 Album every years since debut.

♫ I wish nothing but the best for Aaaaayuuuu ♪
