Nice to see that LOVE is BEST got number one.
The sales were kinda predicted, imo:
-Very "hardcore fan" BEST with bunchs of B-Sides, Sakuranbo, Daisuki Dayo. and Renai Sashin were obviously there to "blockbust" the sales a bit including some of her biggest hits (tho Sakuranbo has been overused to death, I don't think it was a wise decision to try to sell it again). Unknown songs don't really boost people's interest to buy it, since they may think "if it was a B-side and didn't end up in an album, probably is not such a good song".
-Only two versions, which is ok, if not because they had the same exact covers.
-Beautiful and artistic cover, but Ai didn't really look like Ai (maybe this was a little offputing? I mean, at first glance it doesn't looks like Ai Otsuka (and her name is not on the cover)) tho this is more secondary.
-Lack of promotion, she has not been on TV yet, nor magazines (that I know of).
