^ I doubt it. The name "UTADA" itself worth something, even without promotion I believe Utada should sell more than, if not at least, 100k in its 1st week. Something is really going wrong there nowadays.
And yes... this IS the first time ever for Ayu, and probably also apply to other artists, that Ayu beat Utada in its 1st week sales. And Utada had higher NINKI index, so probably we really can't rely on that index number anymore...
