A bit random there mentioning BoA.
And you can't even compare their sales, Ayu sells way more.


I'm glad to see Ayu's sales improving a bit. Several thousand more than Moments is not bad.

[R@INBOW]

Keep it going! Ayu!

Well, GAME is a B-side in the sense that B-sides are songs not mentioned in the single's title (and are usually, but not always, excluded from the upcoming album).

However, I don't believe it because - how would a B-side be treated with a PV and, so far, more live performances than INSPIRE, the A-side itself?

game is too good of a song to be left out from the album..but then..so was theme of a-nation and ever free.

Think Namie's DID U? It was a B-Side, not on her latest album, and it had a vidoe and lives.

I think the sales will go up with the dramarama thats happening at avex.

[Larisa-chan]

wait I'm so confused... I see Inspire (CD+DVD) selling 108,700 and Moments 108,700. Inspire only sold 700 more...? Where do the thousands more come from?

Yes.

I am just skeptic about GAME won't be included in ayu's next album, since ayu seldom produced B-side tracks.

Non-A-Sides songs gets PVs all the time nowadays anyways...

I don't really want GAME included in her upcoming though. Even though it's common for B-sides to be included nowdays, the whole idea of specifically labelling it as a c/w on the cover, you would think they're telling you to buy this because GAME wouldn't be on the album.

181，325 is good I think. SAS got 200,000ish first week.

[gakkun]

SAS got 222,000...that's about one quarter more than Ayu. Good enough I guess.

[Exile]

The reason for explicitly stating "c/w GAME" is probably this time ayu didn't come up with a fancy single letter title as for her earlier multiple A-side singles.

If GAME really isn't to be in the next album, then I have my excuse for getting the single.

[Exile]

According to Yeah! J-Pop, SAS's latest single only sold 152,500 copies in the first week.

I'll wait until Oricon announces INSPIRE's first week sales.

Yea well...Oricon is really more official...
