NOTE: NINKI IS NOT A SALES ESTIMATE.
Not surprising at all. Sucks that all these bests have to come out, but what can you do? At least she's the highest in terms of 'new' music? If she were releasing in another week, she'd probably be fine but the end of the year is always so crazy, agh.

Her past NINKI numbers:
03 93.10 LOVE
02 79.90 A SUMMER BEST
01 171.30 Party Queen
01 172.30 FIVE
01 200.90 Love songs
01 229.70 Rock'n'Roll Circus
01 355.70 NEXT LEVEL
01 254.10 Secret
01 280.90 (miss)understood
01 125.50 MY STORY

Was surprised she's not behind BIG BANG too tbh...but maybe I'm just out of touch with them in Japan.

My story: one of the lowest ratings on the list and sells te most of all the albums on the list (in Japan).

Interesting titles for BEST albums.

Ayu is doing great now considering she is a solo singer who has been active for the past 13 years.

Well, if it wasn't for the BEST albums, she'd be number one. Let's take comfort on that :)

i believe
Again will have lower sales compared to LOVE. poor YUI why she release the best together with EXILE

Well, considering the amount of best albuns on the list, and one belonging to EXILE, the #3 is actually quite good for a mini-album with only 4 new songs + remixes :)

I'm hoping her sales stay constant with LOVE

very huge competition...

I don't care about sales, it seems again is going to be even better than LOVE, and I love LOVE :P

I think it's not huge battle chart since 3 above ayumi is the best album not new album. With the word "BEST" they tried to get number 1. Again is new album. So even ayumi in the 4th place she is still number 1 in new album term, not in "best" album aka compilation from exile or yui past single. So yeah still ayumi is number 1. it looks like exile and yui is afraid battle against the queen of jpop, so they release the "best" album to win the battle hahaha. ****** with their best album, and ayumi you are the best

Big Bangs mini album is just a rerelease of songs that have previously been released, yeah? It had like solo songs from each member or something like that...

They're popular, but they're not the type of boy band Japan eats up because they don't look like girls :-p I kid I kid.

Considering the competition, this is great to me.

YUI is also going on a hiatus (apparently she may come back later but not as YUI) so that could help her.

not only is again going up against 3 albums, it is also going up against matsutoya yumi's 3rd week on the charts (her 40th anniversary best album is selling really well tbh) and mr. children + SNSD's 2nd week on the album charts

Mmm, unfortunately, Mr. Children will probably outsell Ayu as well, so she can only really hope to get #5 or #6 at the highest?

Well since YUI's going on a permanent hiatus or w/e it makes sense her releases would shoot over Ayu's. I have no excuse for EXILE besides people having lame taste in boy bands lol

cool cool~


I don't think SNSD's second week will be any problem. Not like the first week was anything spectacular. Mr. Children...um yeah. Yumi, idk.

YUI's going on hiatus?
Maybe that will help her music quality increase if/when she comes back.

it's ok!
But i think that Big bang gonna rank 4 though.

That's really good, considering her album comes out three days after the rest of them!
