I actually like this single okay. The only thing I think I don't like is the covers. The PVs are fine to me because it's not like Ayu's never done simple PVs. At least the angles and execution was more stable than say in GREEN. I really disliked how all over the place Kazu's PVs were. =w=

When I told some of them the sales they were like "Is it a joke ? Come on it's Ayu she will sell more that 150,000 during the first week" So I had to demonstrate them some prooves (thanks oricon !) and show us that even other artists don't sell as much as in the past !
Japanese are not really aware about sales figures aha
So low sales doesn't mean poor quality at all. And here we're not (at least I'm not) saying that's poor quality. 10 nin 10 iro ! (10 persons 10 colors) Everyone has a personal opinion.

Anyway even if the sales all low (personally I think it's okay..!) comparing a some other Ayu's recent single, we can't say that's a flop because she's n°1 !
Yeah. That's why on Ayu's Japanese wikipedia, there are no sales figures (or at least no sales figures organised so nicely like in her English page). It's the same with most other artists. Sometimes they go "This single sold more than -number-" but I find that it's the people who make Ayu's English wiki that are the most concerned with sales figures.

So guess what, it's just us! lol.
