I mean, A BEST is one of the best-selling albums in Japan history, if BEST FIRST THINGS was released in a very good year for the japanese industry [and in 2001, problems with CDs being burned on the computer and people not buying, just rentings was already a big deal. Not as it is today, with downloads and everything, but it was] it wouldn't sell over 4 million copies. The other albums are all from the last two years. I'm almost sure the prices didn't go up or down, because I used to buy Jpop albums and I still pay almost the same. See above. I'm sure the gap would be big, because if it was a good year, Koda could sell 2 million copies but I dobut she would reach the 3 million copies. OK, I'm not God to be sure she wouldn't reach, but the prodabilities are very small: when Ayumi released her A Best she was the biggest, she did 24 magazine cover in two months, she was everywhere, she had lots of number one singles, she was doing concert in Domes. And right now Koda Kumi is getting bigger, but she's not close to what Ayumi used to be in 2001.

thats y i didnt say Best~first things~ was gonna beat/come very close to A BEST if kumi's album was released in 2004. i just said the gap would not have been as big as it is today. n i again, i didnt say that koda kumi will b the next ayu or come near wut ayu has done within the near future.
also, i said "sum members..." so i wasnt really directing at u since u took the factor into consideration, but sum members r naive n take these facts into their heads w/out thinking.
