When I saw the title I was like, "wow, that's a bit low". But think about iTunes sales + other sites' downloads, it isn't that bad. Since ayu didn't have any splendid single this year (in terms of sales), it's common that the album won't be sold that well in the beginning. This album may have a better leg compared to (m)u tho.. let's say some people downloaded the album songs and found out the greatness, they may buy the album eventually.

And you have to count for the fact that the new generations of Nano/Shuffle were just released 1 - 2 months ago, there would be lots of new iPod users in Japan, and they might try using iTunes store for fun..
