[Charts & Rankings] The Official Oricon Thread ~LOVE~

[jang-kun]

let's all be true to ourselves, i'm kinda sad about this.

I'M. NOT. SO. USED. TO. SEE. AYU. NOT. SLAYING. EVERY. ONE. OF. THEM.

oh well, i think i'll be used to it.

[Yagami Raito]

Oh well... nothing surprising about the sales.... With only one billboard in the hole country and no other real promotion I guess it's okay =)

[TeamAyu2004]

I'm sad about it too, but what can you expect.
There really is not promotion sustain ever. She is gonna have to do a live or two if she wants to sell these things.

[Maemi]

Official Total Sales: 64,841

Well this isn't bad really o.O I guess the first post wasn't updated?

[jang-kun]

well yeah, to think Japanese considered this as a single, it's almost the same as L sales

[LEOyumi]

Sales are pretty bad, but considering the amount of promo... It's actually good. lol

[Delicious n Bold]

Only 65k?
Oh well...

[mizuki-7]

For a mini it's actually quite good not so much artist who releases a mini can reach this amount of sale even if for ayu it's a low sale ...

[Gustavopc]

These sale are normal for minis, FIVE and mainly Memorial address where exceptions which sold PRETTY MUCH MORE than usual. But yeah, #4 is not a typical number for ayu...

[lightningrod]

L sold 70k in the first week, I guess everyone is treating LOVE as a single

[TeamAyu2004]

Not really. The sales aren't there because people don't care anymore. She's pretty much left with fans only.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ wasnt akb this week?

EDIT:
It was
NMB
THE SECOND from EXILE
Golden Ixion Bomber-DT
flumpool
Nishino Kana

top 5 nikki... I dont think the final numbers are out yet...

[Mr. Goto]

the last time was TO BE so 13 years ago, hopefully it will be certified gold.

ayu and her team need to be more organized cause the past couple weeks leading up to LOVE they have been scrambling to finish "again" and now she's in paris doing more stuff. so it kinda makes it impossible for her to do tv appearances, assuming she even wants to do them.

[Mr. Goto]

i included singles since most people consider LOVE to be a single.

i think we could potentially see crazy numbers again from someone that isn't AKB, Japanese companies just need to stop being stubborn/dumb and decrease the prices!!

[Mr. Goto]

ummm he said "this is her first time in a LOOOOONG time Ayu was outside the top three...?" insituing ALL her releases not just albums calm down

and they need to adapt the prices. a standard cd only album costs generally 3059 yen today just like it did in 1992. that isn't right. digital music is overpriced in japan too so....

#4!?



Well, another sign of the times... JUJU dominated this, and the Arashi steam was just too strong for Ayu to get a top three - this is her first time in a LOOOOONG time Ayu was outside the top three...?

[TeamAyu2004]

i dont think it ever happened, lol... (besides remix albums and stuff)

[TeamAyu2004]

^ that was a single... this a is an album/mini
and man, it sold 109,860 n the first week.. gone are the golden days of albums sales.

[TeamAyu2004]

its not a single, so no.

As for lowering prices i dont see that happening since akb sales so much at current prices. CD sales dont decline because of prices, they havent changed much over the years
TO BE single cost 1020
and L cost 1200
thats a about a 12 year difference and less then 200 yen.. not bad if you ask me.

they should try and focus on digital sales... thats where the world is going anyways.
