The sales were what I expected. I mean, it didn't had any big hit single on it (her last album had much more succeful singles), any first press freebies (hello... (m)u had a freakin' photo album), it was obvious the first week would be lower than (m)u first week and I think (m)u sold less than 500k on it's first week, so... and yes, sales are going down every year but Ayu sales drop are bigger than the year-by-year sales drop. I mean, she was always Top 2 on the annual charts but (m)u and My Story didn't went Top 5...

But, looking at the bright side, it was far from a flop, it did OK. Not amazingly well, but it wasn't a flop either and maybe because there isn't any 1st week freebie sales will stay stable.
