It's a mistake to combine the first week's indexes since it was lower than 1.7 and we know the official first week's sales. Hopefully though enough people will buy it >_>.

oh, i didn't know that..
thanks for the correction
so.. it definitely won't reach 300k this week

I think those are good sales. I hope TRICK is the #1 on the weekly charts again.

Btw, I just saw dirty ballroom concert. I loved that. I want that TAKE BACK remix because it was the best remix of the whole concert. Of course I loved every song (minus the meaning of peace of course). Awesome concert that was. My favourite performances were TAKE BACK, Always, Hana, Amai Wana, Hot Stuff, BUT, TABOO and Selfish. Even the special effects were nice though they almost killed my eyes. And Kuu didn't sound so bad as I thought she would. But I think I'm gonna watch this concert again a couple of times since it was so hot~ <3

Glad to see TRICK is back to #1 Daily

KarenPang · #**125** 6th February 2009, 04:57 PM

I wonder if it's possible for TRICK to remind at #1 for the 2nd week , it seems possible

NintendoHTF1242 · #**126** 6th February 2009, 09:38 PM

I just got my TRICK CD+2DVD <3

I so cannot wait to watch the Dirty Ballroom later XD

even ayu doesn't stray very far away from the crying ballad video...she just has less PVs for ballads...i think one of the reasons kuu gets such a hard time for "having the same concept" is because she has so many ballads with PVs that it makes it look unoriginal but if they were more spread out with other more complex videos in between, they would be much more acceptable.

well what I mean Kuu should do something more than relationships in her ballads, I like her old ballads PVs more than most recent those. But you are right that this kind of videos have been accepted in japan generally. This idea to do PVs never get old.

Well I don't know that kuu has experienced much in her life that would give her inspiration to write about...and the fact that I don't really see her as intuitive enough to take inspiration from other people's experiences...

To me...she seems to be one of the luckiest people in Japan, and I think she knows it.

I really do hope that sales will pick up...She had so much promotion too...didn't she?

Twinkle ! · #**129** 6th February 2009, 10:41 PM

Kuu Like a Sick And His midecin is near She should use it before it's gonna expire

Melrose · #**130** 6th February 2009, 11:18 PM

Why are there no lyrics for INTRODUCTION FOR TRICK in the booklet? ;___;

And not for the Joyful joyful lalala so joyful g???eeeee?

Annoying. ><

Anyone know these?

BTW

Does anyone else think that the Dirty Dancing Ballroom effects are TOOOO much?
I was watching BUT, and it was honestly tiresome to watch. Seriously. I just got tired from following what the heck was going on. :-/ My eyes were like "nooooo turn this thing off we're bleeding!!".

ren'ai · #**131** 6th February 2009, 11:41 PM

^ Yea the effects are an overkill. They ruin the concert a bit for me >_<

@ emiko: I read somewhere (always forget where >.<) Kuu doesn't write about her own personal experiences in her lyrics. She says she listens to a melody of a song and imagines a scene/situation for it and places herself in that and writes what her feelings/thoughts would be then.
I do wish she wrote more personal lyrics like Ayu does though you could say they ARE personal as it is still her own thoughts..?

TRICK's promotion is huge, tones of tv performances, magazines and what not.
Kingdom didn't even get a quarter of it (and maybe even Black Cherry had less).

jbrat2219 · #**133** 7th February 2009, 01:58 AM

Yet all the power of promotion didn't do much this time, huh?

KarenPang · #**134** 7th February 2009, 02:51 AM

I'm still waiting for my copy

If I can't wait I prob be buying the Taiwan press from my friend Cliff when it's out next Fri

That is because Dirty Dancing Ballroom can't be dirty enough without those effects.

Seriously, i think avex marketing are stupid. Good show doesn't need to do any extra effects, but now those effects kill my eyes, kill the sales, and kill kuuu.

NintendoHTF1242 · #**136** 7th February 2009, 06:04 AM

The Dirty Ballroom was ok. I would have liked if SOULHEAD or KM-MARKIT sang with Kuu on D.D.D or Hot Stuff. But it was nice to see Mr. Blistah come out of nowhere xD

The performances were ok, I nearly fell asleep on Butterfly though. And omg the effects were too much XD

Zeke. · #**137** 7th February 2009, 07:19 AM

I thought the Dirty Ballroom effects was a nice idea. They just kinda went overkill a little bit.

Brodie Boy · #**138** 7th February 2009, 07:38 AM

Yay for Trick in full I can't wait, this single is going to be good I think.

EDIT: I made it to over 1,000 posts!. Yay.

Absolutely agree! I was so irritated when I found that! Hell why!?

^and yes most of the effects was so annoying! There should have been an option to turn it off... (>_<)

TRICK 2nd week
position: #1
sales: 3,346 x 1.7 = 5,688

1st week : 253,346
2nd week : (7,178 + 5,115 + 4,756 + 4,128 + 3,346) x1.7 = 41,689

total sales so far: 295,035

i'm a little bit confused..
how many days do we use to count 1 week sales?? 6 days or 7 days??

edit: corrected the 2nd week sales
