When you think about it, Ayumi has been here longer than all the well known J-Pop stars (at least the solo female artists). Kumi has been around for a while now, but she only got popular a few years ago. Hikaru is still big, of course, though she has never been one to put out a lot of stuff, so of course it's hard to get tired of her. As we speak, she may as well be on hiatus. (Seriously, what happened to Hikaru lately?? ._.) Namie Amuro is in a similar position. Of her long career now, she's only been active for about half of it. Ayumi Hamasaki is the only one who can truly say that she's been here for over a decade. And she's still charting and selling above average, despite it all.
yep, i definitely agree with you
that's good the sales are steady. i'm thinking it will wind up selling 110-120k too.
