It will improve, Don't forget that people were informed that Guilty will be in stores from 1.01.2008

yes!..same sentiments..1.01.2008 is what most people refer as the official release date of guilty..only die-hard fans knew the common practice and buy it on christmas =)...since GUILTY is currently being heavily promoted...i believe sales will most likely soar higher as time goes on as even those who're not a fervent fan of ayumi but were impressed by her or knew her by promotions will buy GUILTY on 1.1.2008 onwards

Technically, anybody who bought (m)u would know of the practice so.

first week sales should be as much.

relying on the theory that "lol! 1.1.08 = release date! <3"

that said, I do want this to sell more than Secret.

then why the hell they suddenly start selling now? It'll confuse the people and won't result in higher sales.

And everyone's paranoia makes me crazy

ps. Ayu's big selling time is OVER. It's over. The peak is over. It's so obvious. I mean it's sad but true. Even I'm a little over Ayu. Her stuff isn't so nice as it was before anymore.

I shall agree with you

Aye, her company is giving her an extra week for her 1st week sales so she secures her #1 streak. Is it just me but isnt that ...a tad sad?

It could be true, but we still support her, coz we're her fans. Right when she needed us most you're gonna drop her??

[Qt Mashi]

wow!!! so less....it's like her single sales...this album is probably going to end up selling less than 500k

[Bashumaru]

Why does Avex release the CD earlier then the release date? I think its stupid.

[maxikot]

oh gosh, that wouldn't be something nice for sure... I hope it will surpass 500k

[Amuro_Ray]

I afraid she can't get #1 for this time.
コブクロ & EXILE are still selling quite well.

[Diego-kun]

SHOCK!!! Well it will surely improve during the week

[Negi92]

I do not think that all Japanese were aware of the sale before the 2008/1/1
I think we must wait the official release of GUILTY...

And maybe because this CD release just before Christmas, so no money... xD

[bluegie]

That is a bit too low I consider..
Hopefully the sales will increase later..

And I dun really think the Japanese dunno about it. It is a common practice to release the album the last wednesday before January 1st. I would rather think the people dun really rush to get the album this time..

[njanjayrp]

I only hope that the sales stay constant the next 6 days, at least, and if it sells around 450 K in the first week, it's ok we really shouldn't expect larger sales than the ones Secret had^^.Besides aren't this and the next week counted as one?

In all honesty, I'll just be happy if this is another number one album.
Sales don't really bother me much anymore.

This won't be #1. Kobukuro and Exile will most likely beat her in the long run.
