Even though the first week sales are a bit low for ayu standards but its very good for today's standard. Theres alot of ppl who would want their sales to be like this..not just first week sales but overall sales. I think ppl are expecting too much in sales in the first place. I think the sales are ok for someone who is a female solo artist thats been in the industry for 8 years now. She is no longer at her peak. It will be very difficult for her to keep selling alot now that theres other younger fresher artists out there. If you look at hikki's ultra blue and all her previous japanese albums...that's even a bigger drop. I'm just happy ayu, hikki, mika, etc are still making music even though they are not selling as much as they use to.

ok...besides kumi, is there any female artist whose sales (original albums, singles) didn't drop?
