[12/12] 'Secret' 2nd Week Sales

[ayu_fan929]

Secret 2nd Week Sales

Rank: 3 / Weekly Sales: 108,119 / Total Sales: 494,399

-1st -> 2nd week sales dropped by 72%.

Comparison to the 2 other female studio albums that had 300k~400k 1st week sales this year:
(miss) understood = 653,830 (2-week total)
--------
First Message = 350,580 + 153,124 = 503,704 (2-week total)
LOVE COOK = 334,812 + 167,321 = 502,133 (2-week total)
Secret = 386,380 + 108,119 = 494,399 (2-week total)

Given that both ayaka and Ai broke 700k with their albums, and since Secret is not that far behind to them, I still think the album has a chance of breaking 700k!

a bit disappointing

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Wow!, interesting and kinda disappointed but expected at the same time.

[tl1029530921]

[Amuro_Ray]

Be honestly, I do not have confidence that Secret can reach 700k
I wanna cry.....

[criminal]

Oh well, it's kinda expected and it's not that low, just okay.

[AyUmIXx]

oh my goddd...
Secret's sales are lower than (m)u?
can't believe my eyes..
how come!!!!!

i thought that Secret will sell more than (m)u!!
oh my god..
what happen actually?

[freedreamer]

No.3 with that kind of sales!??!..omg..

haiz...sad..i dunno what else to say

[Amuro_Ray]

I can't believe the sales dropped by 72% in 2nd week...
Comparing to MU, maybe 2xx k fewer finally.
~>.<~

[ayu1m]

As expected

[Luck16]

a lil disappointing... =/
I really hope that Secret will sell more than (m)u, let's wait and see.

[Kodayumi]

Come on ayu!!

[AyUmIXx]

come on, all ayu's fans..
where are u guys!!!!!!
*Not ayu's fault!*

i thought that by having Secret as the HK's movie's soundtrack will increase its sales..
probably, people tend to buy OS Version rather than Japan Version?
coz..those ranks are counted only for Japan version, right?

Only sales made within Japan / Japanese online shops are only counted on Oricon. Furthermore, it's illegal to sell OS versions in Japan, so having Secret as the themesong of Confessions of Pain does not have impact on sales imo.

oh well its ok I rather her stay with the music she enjoys doing and sell less. I really like this album...all the album tracks, cover, new pvs, etc. are excellent and big improvement to the ones she did earlier this year. Im glad she made a effort to change for the better. Even though the sales arent good compared to even m(u) but as you can clearly see, ayu tried to make the quality of her album tracks and pvs better than the single tracks which she released earlier this year. Atleast she didnt keep doing similar songs like those with the crappy pvs. o_O..that would really suck for me...but Im very happy she put a stop to that and we got such great album tracks from ayu, the 3 new pvs, the cover and booklet. It made me remember the old ayu. I hope she will keep it up and hopefully 2007 releases would be as great as these.

It would be nice if she perform other songs besides JEWEL. I want momentum!!

Exactly.

Maybe she should take a break. People take Ayu for granted, let them miss her a little bit.

Try telling her that! She's a self described "workaholic"

[elepop]

I was hoping for her to reach about 600,000 copies like her last album. Oh well. Only 100,000 copies this week... Not so great. But hey, she's reaching 500,000 copies at least.

[HiruNoKaze]

Damn man what's going on here...

[voltron]

I think her rock-ish music was never as popular in Japan, and since this album has a lot of "harder" sounding songs, I think that probably has a lot to do with it.
