kumi's BESTs also might not be a big competition since those are 2 in one day and they might be treated like BEST ~BOUNCE & LOVERS~ which sold less also than all of ayu's studio albums. 2 in one day might even make it lower (and the both are like half best/half remix) remixes aren't really popular anymore though there is still a small chance of surprise but I doubt.

ayu also debuting that limited USB thing and it will be counted towards oricon so it really can get the sales higher.

For Rule/Sparkle - I really hope avex will start promoting it already.
Oh, I did not know that. How could Tohoshinki is kind of lower than Ayu? Does anybody have data to exactly compare how Tohoshinki fares in albums along with Ayu's?

And I think Kuu is just too much of a split, unlike Ayu's going on a four-versions-in-one-type, so I think Ayu has a bit of a better advantage...

Hopefully the single that would be released exactly four weeks to the album's release get #1 weekly - very critical...

They say there's going to be about 13 songs in the album - but using the USB flash drive to listen to Ayu's songs on your computer? That is a really cool idea by the Avex Group guys...
