OK, you're overacting. I REALLY want her to sell over 1 million copies, which she probably will, but if she don't, she's STILL POPULAR. If she sells 900k, she'll still be a big artist.

Obviously not as big as she was before, maybe not as big as some other female singer, but with 400k in the first week she's still a huge seller.

I don't think people should be so desperate if she don't reach a million. Yes, she's not as popular as before, but so what? That's past, we can't go back, Ayu is still selling extremely well for an artist (that's an IDOL SINGER) who released her first album in 99 and had her peak in 2000/2001. Even if she's not on the TOP 10 of the best-selling albums of the year. Some big artists in Japan aren't on the list. Some B'z album don't even sell 800k and they're still huge. Seiko Matsuda, the most popular idol singer in the 80s, don't release top 10-albums but she still does big tours in big venues and she's still always on mag covers.

What I'm saying is, Ayu can stop being the huge-seller she was before (she's still a huge seller) but that doesn't mean she'll stop being a big star or, at very least, stop doing good music (that's cliche, I know)
