For the following reasons:
-Catchy winter track like Days, which is the typical song Japan loves and eats up, and which is of better quality than similar releases like stay with me or koi wa groovy (always imo) so if people are going to buy 1 winter single they will buy this.
-Itīs an A side, so 2 songs. Mirrorcle World only had MW promoted, and it sold a lot.
-4 versions
-New versions of old songs (nostalgic buyers)
-Cheesy, cute covers that collecters will love
-The whole 10th anniversary thing
-The proximity to the TV airing of the Asia Tour
-Ayu is doind very nice at lives promoting Days
-Cool PVs (even if GREEN is not that great is good eyecandy and looks expensive)
-The new "oldies" boom could affect Ayu, but I donīt think she ever had the "fall from grace" that Namie had.

To add to that list, shes also been touring the past 8 months with no new material. No singles, barely any magazine appearances, this is the closest Japan will get to Ayu taking a break. It's why I am predicting a popularity boom in 2009. Even though it was a short hiatus, I feel like they are refreshed and ready for her once again.
This will beat out Mirrorcle World.
