oricon: (miss) understood 12th week sales

[kournikova]

ayu is still the favorites in japan... but this is her tough time..... we have already seen the A BEST era... which is her toughest time then... and she surpassed our expectance with great album and great singles... and she regains the throne...... this time.... she needs that magic again... go ayu! I am waiting to see her "BREAK THROUGH" again...... just be patient... I dont really care about how many (miss) understood will count, but at least... do not compare she and ku.... I have already been tired seeing people comparing ayu and hikki back then in 2001.... just wait and see..... who knows ayu will come with that "MAGIC" once more....

[Dark Eiri]

Hey guys! Be optimistic!
ORICON doesn't count the overseas, and the sales by internet (and you know, more and more people get things from the internet, like CDJapan or YesAsia), so I REALLY DOUBT that Ayu didn't sold 1 million (miss)understoods yet.

[Cyria]

It's sold over 850k and that's what I've been hoping for. A million would have been nice, but I'll be happy with this.

[hallelujah_united]

A little off-topic, but UTABAKA is THIS close to breaking 2 million!

[ayu_fan929]

^yeah, as of last week like 7000 away

[Neo Daydream]

thanks for the info.

[truehappiness]

/doesn't ever make sense HAHA ;-; Anyways, if you look at the albums on top of Ayu's album.. they're all BEST albums. :\ I wonder if there's going to be any original albums to get higher than those bests..

-_- thats already been established when evolution7931 posted the chart on the last pg...

and there mite be original albums up there, possible EXILE's since it is their last album as a group...

[pbs1605]

Thanks for that.

[chikara]

I am just glad to see Ayu's album doing so well. It's hard doing what she does. Touring, producing new videos to promote the new singles, etc. It's real hard work and the hours can be long. I am grateful that she produces the lyrics she does and is with an ecclectic group of composers to give a different range of music. I am not only enjoying this album, but I am looking forward to her new works in the future...

Go Ayumi.

[extepan]

maybe with one more single the saes of this album will reach 1m?

Which is what Koda Kumi's was, and one with a lot of crap if you know what I mean [a lot of stuff >>] for a low price. Obviously people would buy that over Ayu's album. :\

!_! Plus there was over 12 weeks of previous promotion for the whole 'BEST' album anyway sooooooo w/e. I wonder how Koda's next single will do >>

/faint

!! I agree with everything you've said :>
Thanks for sharing the sales info! ^.^

I can understand that this frustrates you.. but theres no need to get too snappy ._. ... lets all vow now to talk about koda kumi in here anymore >W<

and instead of whining about how its not going to get the million, lets celebrate the fact that its amongst the highest selling albums (particularly by female artists) this year.. and remember that that number is considered to be a very successful number in the music industry of today ^__^

[s1012h]

i have to agree that this album wasn't the most creative album by her
alot of the songs on this album were songs that were for SWEETBOX
but of course, ayu wrote her own lyrics to the music
hopefully ayu can drop a bomb with her next album, and set new records!
gooo ayu!

That makes no sense at all.
