To assume the only reason that this single sold well is because of ayu is just plan dumb. Although this is Naoya first solo single he's been part of AAA for five years. Its not as though he's a completely brand new artist. Two friends of mine are studying in Japan have told me that although ayu is part of this single its only lending a little bit of hype; people really don't give a stuff that she's part of the single. But there are plenty of people that support AAA and Naoya. All the sales aren't just because of ayu.

Also I know I posted in my last comment that the sales are higher than most AAA stuff, but AAA have been selling extremely well lately so these sales I think reflect on that too
Sorry I have to disagree with you. Take a look at Naoya's solo album released just a year ago. It peaked at #71 first week. This was at about the same time AAA released an album that peaked #4 weekly. Doesn't that say enough? It's very obvious Ayu is having a big impact on the sales, as he wouldn't sell near this well without her. I guarantee if he does release another single, it'll sell at most half of this, but probably something like 5-10k total.
