Considering Johnny's artists reputation for strongly dropping sales in the second week, I don't see this as a matter of concern. Only if their first week for To be Free is A LOT higher than Troublemaker and MONSTER will I start to worry.

^I think Karen's response was because Big Top posts kind of strange things when it comes to sales discussions I think.
Honestly, its more a question of how much of Sunrise's sales can Ayu retain and not how much can Arashi sell in their second week. Ayu's sales can't drop more than 5k for this release, otherwise Arashi has a legitimate shot. But with 4 versions and Arashi's single not having a strong tie in, it's probably fine.

While they definitely have fan girls - just like any other boyband - these days all kinds of people buy their stuff. Even a few of the male teachers at my schools (who are all 40+) have bought Arashi's last couple of singles.
