My expectation for ayu's first day sales was between 80K - 100K max. As I said before, the hype of this album could be just a little illusion. People got higher hopes because this album seemed to be loved — in AHS. The energetic reactions towards this album in here may not indicate the same thing for the general public in Japan. I dun really know how the Japanese (casual listeners) think about this album, so that's why I set a range for the first day sales prediction.
Of course, this album may have a better longevity compared to NL if it has a better reception in Japan. I dunno if R'nRC is better than NL (I haven't listened to any materials yet except microphone), but I still wish for a steady sales
