[YUI] Let the Rain fall in her 7th thread

[Iyreen]

Do this album have HK press for CD+DVD? Or only TW press? The cd picture from Play-Asia looks different from the one that Karen posted, with lots of sticker @@

[KarenPang]

it's probably Taiwan press cos I recongised the serial no. on the OBI is the same as for Taiwan press

Taiwan press's catalogue no. is also 88697741152 too

Also for HMV HK's case , this time round I don't think Sony BMG HK has made a HK press of the album as exclusive registered airmail shipping , they're charging about S$19+ for the album on its own

at least she was #1 which was more important

As I said before, I thought AKB48 would get #1, but when YUI got #1 and I asked about the status of AKB48's album release, it was sort of a re-release, so that's why YUI got #1, and not surprising that it sold more copies than Ayu's #1 single (MOON/blossom) because of promotion and its notability that she hasn't released an album for over two years! (Back to I LOVED YESTERDAY in April of 2008...)

[KarenPang]

erm hello why did you bring MOON / blossom into the picture ?!

MOON / blossom is a single while HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN is an album so it's natural for an album to sell more than a single , with a few exceptions to the case

AKB48's album is a reissue so it's quite obvious that usually reissues of material will not sell well as the 1st release

[Amrai-chan]

Also there is the fact that it's a reissue of a best album. (There's 2 new songs though plus 2 that weren't on the first best album)

Anyway YUI's doing pretty good. That's what counts right?

(Or as long as she's happy with how the sales are.) I kind of wanted her and AKB to tie. Hehe.

[mellody]

Well, YUI ever said that she didn't care about the sales, if people want to listen to her songs, it makes her so happy, and it's enough for her.

But actually I forgot when she said that, I just remember she ever said that kind of thing~

Btw, will YUI releasing singles again in the next 2-3 months?

[KarenPang]

she's going to start touring in months to come to promote the album so I don't know if any new material will follow

it will be great if something will be up if not it's ok

for me I also don't care about sales , I'm annoyed that people placed so much emphasis on it like seriously ~_~

A lot of artistes I support can't sell squat but I don't care about it so much

She gotten #1 for HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN , it's good enough for me to handle

[Nackar_91]

There's a strong difference between being interested in sales and caring about them, though : P. I have a big interest in Oricon and I really want my artist to do well, but that doesn't mean I care THAT much. I mean, I also listen to doa and they can barely crack the top. 30, sometimes nog even the top. 50!
