[RIAJ announcement] CAROLS + HEAVEN are chaku-uta million download sellers!

[Sim']

Thanks =)

[ayu_fan929]

I didn't press the link but they're probably a combined ringtone + full song + PV downloads, since that's the 3 things Chaku-Uta provides. But still, ringtones still make a more than half of all the downloads on Chaku-Uta.

lol hey man you know better than to mislead people..."habatakidashita" doesn't necessarily have the same feel and connotation as "We flap." In fact, I'm certain of it lol. "We flap." should probably be like "We soar beating our wings upon the wind." or something

And besides that, you played it up so much you crazy dude, habatakidashita = began to flap wings, not "We flap." But omg lol kudos for playing it up, "We flap." is such a lame lyric in English hahahahaha.

[ayu_ready?]

realli?
yay!
thank you for the info, darling

It's just when a hit comes, it comes. I mean look at Boys&Girls.. that was kinda random for a million seller.. O_o

I don't think it was random for a million selling SUMMER HIT. It has everthing a summer hit should, and was an instant favourite of mine. It's really easy to sing along to (habatakidashita, kagayakidashita, really easy to remember), it's definetly catchy and cheerful and fun. Just like locolotion, sakuranbo, even mambo number 5 etc, I think it's a perfect summer hit. addicting carefree fun. It doesen't need lyrics even.

That's more to do with whatever particular translation you are reading of it. Some of the earlier translations of her songs I think translated things a little too literally, that being one of them. Really the better english lyric for that part is, "we began to fly."

[truehappiness]

Well, yeah. But the gist of it is.. "We flap." :p

I'd imagine anyway. I know there's more to it, but I just remember 'we begin to flap' and stuff. :p

Sure, that's the gist of it, but what I'm saying is there were less awkward ways to translate it and that there is more of a connotation to it than just "flap."

[zeroshin888]

that's good! they're my two favourite songs! hehe

[lotusoka]

Ha... i remember while I was watching the VMA's and they awarded the most downloaded ringtone. I thought "God, getting this award would feel like a slap in the face!"

[pbs1605]

Very cool.

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

ROFL.

O-ZONE. 4 MILLION.

[nodoka]

Wow that's so cool! I've acutually never run across a website like this before...

[LacusClyne]

neat. HEAVEN and CAROLS are the top.

[Qt Mashi]

oOoOo that's nice to hear!

thanks for the news!

[immel]

Some pretty insane numbers... c'mon people, go buy CDs, they look nicer!

^^Online sales is the way of the future, especially where Japan is concerned. It's cheaper too, which is great for a cheap-ass like me ^_^. I wonder how much Ayu has sold online in terms of actual singles and albums. They're probably massive.
