There's nothing wrong with those wanting the sales to be higher. We love Ayu and want her to continue her success. I doubt any of us have any dissociation with reality for wanting the sales to be similar to NL's. Thanks for the sales lesson and the comparisons, but really you can try to be less condescending; after all with your 'curse you 5296!' you show that you're not too different from the rest of us who are less than satisfied with the sales.

That was a joke. I don't really care about 5296's #1 that much.
There are people who are saying that this 85,000+
first day isn't that good, when really it is. It's just weird that people are so fixed on Ayu being the ~highest selling~ that they're forgetting that she isn't exactly huge (GReeeeN/ARASHI huge) in Japan now. And even if she was, I think she's still struggle with sales. Just look at Namie's Past<Future. It was forecasted to sell 500-600k first week, and instead it's just barely reaching 600,000 now. I thought it was for sure a million seller. It's weird, haha.
Sorry if it sounded condescending, but I'm a little irked that no matter what era it is, anything that isn't a ~million seller~ by the first day is "bad" for people. (A BALLADS got close! 940k or something? Pretty good for a remix/ballad/whatever best, huh? People at the time thought it was terrible and that Ayu's time was up for good. Here we are pretty much saying the same thing 7 years later, haha.)
