It's a shame, really, I was hoping for better sales, but you have to think... Martin has a huge point here.

I don't know how many of you attend college, but almost EVERY kid at my college here has an iPod. They don't buy CDs anymore, they just purchase the CD from the iTunes store and listen to it from there. Martin is right, people have just stopped wanting to buy CDs now that mp3 players are out. CDs over time wear out, and then you either have to consistenly clean them or throw them out and buy a new CD, which will just repeat the process. mp3s, since they are saved on a hardrive and are very little in memory, can be saved and have high quality for a LONG time. Which is the better deal here? I think all of you know.

Now I'm not saying that we should all stop buying Ayu's CDs and just buy her album from online for our mp3 players, but you sometimes have to think beyond what media is being promoted. XD If that made any sense.

Oh, and please don't flame me for my statement. I support Ayu 1500% with her love of music and her spirit, and I've already bought 3 albums and a single from her. So there.
