One other thing I forgot to mention is the fireworks show! You actually can only see the show from one half of the arena. If you are on the side of the arena that the fireworks are going to be on, you can't see them. (This happened to my mom and I) By the time we were able to make it out of the Stadium the fireworks were pretty much over. That can also explain why some people leave early - they want to be able to see the fireworks.

Ahhhh that's another factor...yea I wanted to tell you about it! I had the most perfect view the first day! The second day I was facing the back so I had to watch it on the screen! It lasted longer than I expected, haha.

So what did we use for sales info before the index number?

I think we waited a whole week to know straight the first week sales xD

[bluegie]

yeah... and before that we could use another website (forgot the name of the website tho) to see the first day sales. With the first day sales we could predict the overall sales (back in the old days first day sales usually equals to about 40 = 50% of the overall weekly sales). But that website stopped during 2004 I think..

3rd Day
Position:#1
Sales: 5113 (X1.75) = 8,947
Total Estimated Sales: 26,267 + 17,477 + 8,947 = 52,691

She's pretty close to YUI's My Generation/Understand.

My Generation/Understand (after 3 days) = 14620 + 11975 + 4670 (x1.75) = 54,714
My Generation/Understand 1st week = 79,277

So ~75k might be the 1st week sales.

[bluegie]

ehh?!? I keep reloading oricon website and it's not updated yet @@.

Anywayz... pretty low sales on the 3rd day.. Now I think it can't pass 100K on the first week..

well, that's her debut single. how come you make that comparison?

but i'm sure t2m 1st week sales will pass BnD 1st week sales.

[bluegie]

well.. BnD first week was about 76K.. so let's see if t2m can beat it and become the worst selling no. 1 ayu single.. @@

[puddinx]

Hegh! It dropped nearly half of the 2nd day's sales!!

[Neil]

This IS her lowest selling single ever.
You can't compare it to Pokerface, or to other ASFxx songs, Ayu wasn't mega famous back then.
I really wish glitter would have bombed like t2m, and then t2m got glitters sales.
Because glitter/fated SUCKED majorly. But this single is in my eyes, her best in years. I just don't understand :-/

It doesn't matter if she was mega famous or not, sales-wise poker face is her lowest selling single lol xD It's just all numbers.

Couldn't agree more, yeah, these sales suck, I'm really worried about this, but who knows maybe it'll kick up well in the next week.

Well they do suck if you compare to old Ayu. Which you shouldn't as everything is different now in Japanese music. Compare her with other artists now today and then the sales aren't too bad

Sales suck? Do you actually know if it didn't sell well on mu-mo, itunes and the different legal downloads site? =P
You base the suck sales only on physical copies...
And the physical copies themeslves aren't that bad actually, most artists can't get even close xD
I think that generally avex females aritsts physical copies sales decreased mainly because of mu-mo specially that the membership grew means more people download legally, less people buy physical copies.
It's just like that...
Thing is avex and ayu get over mu-mo downloads money as well, and we can't know how it did there, so we can't say that sales really suck xD

[AyuGAME]

really weird. i hate it when we have a hope that this single can sales very well but the fact is upside down...

[Zemus]

I'd say weekly #1 is already secured. Outselling number #2 with nearly x3 today so it's all good
By the way I noticed that Amazon Japan reviews have gone from 3.5 stars up to 4.5!

This is offtopic, but does anyone know how much Utada's Beautiful World sold on its first week?
