Why do you think Guilty only got only number 2 on Oricon?

Lol very easy. Because of a certain pop/folk duo known as "Kobukuro". If I remember correctly their album "5296" was released two weeks before (Dec 19?) but managed to outsell GUILTY by 20K something copies. These guys have recently gotten very crazy sales and their releases have some good runs on the charts, especially album. I can only imagine how much their next album will net...no doubt another #1. I think #2 is still pretty good for Ayu considering the competition she's against. It's pretty obvious she's no longer at her peak, but that doesn't mean it's the beginning of the end for her. In the end I think can only think of a few artists/groups that can put her out of #1. Kobukuro would probably be one in this day and age.
