huaaaaaaaaaa....... melodyyyy :O congrats to melody.. realize is excellent... To be honest that song overcome ayu's fairyland much..... but I dont say fairyland is bad... but people are getting better... the competition is very competitive.. if ayu want to stay on top she has to do something special.... coz I think not only fairyland.. but also from her 2004 single... she doesnt do that magic... like when she released H which I thought it is not a really nice single compared to & example *in my thoughts* but still manage to hit 1.000.000++ copies >.< n I think her song is getting great *if we compare to only her songs*... but as soon I listen to other singer's summer single my eyes opened... like B'z n melody.. they deserve the top.. the song is absolutely FIT to summer ^^ as fairyland is summerish also but its rather plain *I dont think I dont like ayu anymore... fairyland is still better than inspire but against overall competitior*... so watch out ayumi hamasaki
hehe but Its also nice to see her competing.... now people especially female singers... seek her throne ^^
B'z - ocean is romantic song.. I think japanese gals like it very much.. thats why it is still at no.4.....
and I think avex has done really good... n I think alterna doesnt get much promotion.. I think because its summer... so does in & single.. greatful days is the main song... so it gets more promotion compared to Hanabi II/ourselves... *even at least she has performed it*.. maybe alterna is difficult to be performed
