I can see the sales in the whole market in Japan are declining, but I expected something around 500k or even above it, since Secret sounds much better than (miss)understood... maybe it would have indeed sold more in the first week if there was another single before the album's release... on the other hand, she did promote JEWEL quite a lot...
Yes and No.

A lot of people could've DL from mu-mo and decided if they liked the songs, they would buy the album. But I guess they didn't like the songs so they didn't buy the album?

The music industry really hasn't been declining that much in relation to the past 3 years? It has stayed relatively the same.
