I don't think it's unreasonable to expect 320-350k in the end....which would be pretty close to NL's 380k or so. Where would she come back from? Her albums and single still consistently rank in at the top.

I'd like to say if it's not already pointed out, Ayumi revealed the meaning of Microphone in the making of video.

She asks someone "Do you know why its called Microphone?"
Someone: "I wondered what kind of lyrics would come, and I saw it..."
Ayu: "And while thinking that, you thought it would be like a song about Love?"
Someone: "Yes, yes of course." (Like, isn't it that way?)
Ayu: "You're wrong. The 'You' is music. It's not a person."

There is nothing hard to understand, I think.
She is saying "the You in microphone is not about a person, it's about music."
Her relationship with music.

what You? is the song sung in second person? Is she singing to her music? I don't get it. T_T and if she's singing about music, what does that have to do with a microphone? She's singing to music, apparently, not a microphone.

The person labeled "someone" sounds more Engrishy if that conversation is correctly reported.

I knew it was about her music to begin with. She sings her music into a Microphone, not that hard to understand.

^ Exactly right. After hearing the "accusation" I went back to see how I missed that, and listened 3 times very closely.

Just an FYI about mid-day sales:
Quote:
浜崎あゆみ/NEXT LEVEL
   速報 / 確定 / 倍率
火 *13,536 *99,200 *7.33
水 *10,751 *48,318 *4.49
木 **5,158 *24,935 *4.83
This album has 200 or so copies more than NEXT LEVEL did during its first day.

^the official CM dont have them either

Do you think she recorded this entire album in London...(maybe excluding count down and RED LINE)...and when she came back to Japan, she started planning for a next release already? Feels to me that way actually...She was recording so much again in Japan but then, it seems that most of the new tracks (esp those with Strings) were made in London already

avex shud update the utube site already =.=
