Um, did that single come out before or after BESTYO? If before, this new single could surprise us. I mean, her best album did outsell Secret and maybe even the A BEST 2s?

I think Ayu has the favorite to get #1 for the week in the September 19th group...

Well the nice thing about Ayu's fanbase is that most purchase in the first week of release (which is what really matters for the chart placement).

nah..not to worry. ayu will be number 1...even BoA's Love Letter is no competition for 'talkin' to myself'

That single was released before her best-of but also only a week or two before her album "&". And even though her best-of outsold "Secret" and even both "A BEST 2", none of her single has sold more than 100,000 in total I think.

i think avex choosed this day to make something like competition between singers.

[4ever*ayu]

no other place for ayu single when it release than the #1 spot on every chart

[YumeHamasaki]

i heard BoA changed the date to some other day because of her competition with othe rAvex ppls. Aka: she'd get totally screwed if she had to compete against Ayu^^.

Ayu prolly just wants to release that day...or maybe she's so divalicious she wants to rub it in peoples' faces about how her sales are compared to everyone elses....though she doens't always have as high sales as we believe she should.
But what do i know? I'm jsut an american over hear hearing everything second hand

[Impracticable]

Well, all CDs in Japan are released on a Wednesday ... The only Wednesdays in September are the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th

I figure they probably chose the date for two reasons: to avoid all major competition (like there is any all month haha, maybe only kumi and MAYBE ai and thats it ... and Ai is doing album chart so no worry there.)

And Two, to give enough time to properly promote and finish all works for the single, with maybe a little extra time, but not too much. Avex does not want impatient fanboys/fangirls.
