Not true. Love Songs released in December 2010 (counted for Oricon 2011) outsold Kuu's Dejavu. So it's since 2011. Not sure where the "in half the time" part comes from since WOML has been charting for 10 weeks on Oricon while A One has 7. In the end the gap will probably be between 1000-2000 copies. Don't think it says anything about either of their talent. However in my eyes what it does say is that despite being in the business for 15 years (17 for Ayu) the fact that they can still sell/ship 50k of their records and place Top 5 is awesome to me. Especially considering Ai Otsuka's last album sold 4k and BoA's sold around 13k and both were big competition for Ayu/Kuu just a few years ago.
