Well personally I think it's doing quite well considering she just had a compilation released last year and she's not exactly promoting it that much anyway. If I had bought A BEST 2 last year, probably I wouldn't even consider purchasing A COMPLETE because it would be a waste of money. Most of these are on A BEST and A BEST 2 anyway. Somehow the packaging and the promotional campaign seemed more geared towards those fans who have followed Ayu's career for years and would like to look back at her career. Or fans who'll just buy anything released by Ayu.

A BEST 2 had a massive promotional campaign with her performing and being constantly on tv and magazines, while this one seems to be getting even less promotion than a single would, apart from the billboards. The photoshoot wasn't that "huge" either. It seemed to be a side project to the 2009 calendar thing and we only got a few photos. The dress looked suspiciously recycled. The rest were recycled from her single discography. So in the end I'm quite satisfied with the sales and I'm pretty sure avex are too.
