but i agree, everyone was throwing around the word flop, but i think it's safe to say it's just the music business for the jdivas. it will be interesting to see namie's next album's sales.
Yeah it really isn't just Ayu who's sales have gone down. Most of the major female artists are selling WAY less than expected, for very different reasons of course. Yes other famous well known groups and male artists are having better sales but I think they have always been favored, if I'm not mistaken.

And doesn't Ayu always outsell Kuu in singles anyway? I know Kuu only has a handful of #1's so I never really considered that to be the reason Ayu would do better necessarily. It seems like they're both fairing out the same.
