I think it might sell more during the week since this is her first album in a while to get a winter release, but eh, we'll see as the week goes on.

I think that's how a lot of people feel about their favorite artists' albums sometimes. I mean can you imagine someone releasing great material and it only selling 11,000 copies in the first week compared to when they used to sell over 100-200k 'when they were big'?

I know Ayu isn't exactly HUGE in Japan, but it's impressive to see that despite the fact that she isn't doing as well as she used to, she's still doing much better than most other acts in Japan not including whoever has been "in" since only time will tell with those a la Ai Otsuka or ORANGE RANGE.

So it's like in 2004/2005 it was like this:
Ayu -> |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| |||||
Most other artists -> |||||||||||||||||

But now it's like:
Ayu -> |||||||||||||||||||||||
Most other artists -> ||||||||||

Hopefully that makes sense.
