I really think a sharp decline of album sales shows a signal that there's something wrong with the album. I'm not going to repeat the reasons as people in AHS have done it brilliantly. But the decrease in sales doesn't mean her career is over. She still can grab a position in the industry, like touring I think? Though I don't care about the sales I am hoping for her insane promotion she mentioned.

Honestly I have mixed feelings about the covers, but they don't matter at all (thinking of terrible NL), I love the lyrics in which ayu is genuinely confessing her agonies and solitude after her sudden divorce. "I'm a lonely QUEEN." This album deserves praise despite the moderate(I don't think "small" would suit with 100k) commercial success.
