Yes Miki I just updated the main thread's post ^_^

5th Week
Position: #28
Official Sales: 588
Total DVD + Blu-ray: 24,580

(Reminding that official weekly sales from the 2nd week onward indicates the DVD sales since the Blu-ray charted only 1 week).

Ahhh keep going PoM!

brener · #64 28th April 2012, 11:36 PM

not so bad huh

perfectodub · #65 3rd May 2012, 08:42 PM

i think the problem is
too much new ayu products availables at the same time

**ayumisrael** · #66 3rd May 2012, 09:20 PM

I think that the people who usually buy her DVDs weren't as interested as it's not like the usual tour and it was more simple compared to others (more like CDL looking material to the general public who buy dvds anyway).

Overall it almost sold 25,000, not that bad.

i hope this will chart longer...

**ayumisrael** · #68 8th May 2012, 09:56 PM

Me too but it didn't chart for 2 weeks already =\

I guess this is the state of sales these days. I don't really care about sales but when the day comes when ayu can't clear at least 100k, I might be sad...

HilaryDuffFanboy · #70 9th May 2012, 05:21 AM

She already can't clear 100k for singles.

shizukanaotoko · #71 9th May 2012, 09:55 AM

well.. a lot of fans must have bought the deluxe box set which includes the power of music dvd lol. does anyone have data on how much the deluxe box set sold?? that would give us a clearer idea of exactly how many people bought the power of music dvd

**ayumisrael** · #72 9th May 2012, 11:56 AM

Nope, there are no individual boxset sales... They are usually counted towards oricon but since CDL 11~12 didn't chart I suppose they didn't count the boxset sales this time (maybe only for the DVDs) I doubt that the boxset was limited to 200- copies. CDL would at least chart 1 week within the top 30 if they would count the boxset's sales.

Namie was selling over 80k with albums selling less than 500k and top acts where selling over 1 million...

Namie's DVD sales where always on a different level...

It may simply be due to the fact that ayu's never had that great a reputation as a live singer and especially in recent years her voice has been not very good live?

AYu's total sales are dreadful right now though, both for this and the album. hope she'll release a summer single that can go on an upcoming album.

Concert Tour sold over +100k

And she is regarded as a top performer, having tours with a lot of dates on big venues and stuff... Actually, among female soloists, there's a change she is only behind Namie^^

^Please don't attack me for this or think I'm trying to start a fan war or anything but I think Koda Kumi maybe considered the top solo female performer since she was given the name of Queen of Live so I think Ayu would be behind her, I could be wrong though. However I think you're right with Ayu being one of the top solo female performers.

Andrenekoi · #76 12th May 2012, 06:07 AM

^Well... This also isn't meant to be a fan war or anything, so I hope Koda fans don't get offended by my opinion:

This stuff as "queen of this" and "queen of that" are both stuff invented by media or marketing teams, and it's like this anywhere in the world. Koda really had a whole different level of appeal regarding concerts from the moment she peaked to her 10th anniversary, mostly showed on her DVD sales. Still, I believe both Ayu and Namie frequently had longer tours than hers, and they are both touring larger venues for more years too, what IMO shows a larger public demand to watch them live. Namie also oversell Koda's tour DVDs for some years now...

Still, Koda is also regarded as a top performer in Japan^^

Queen Bee · #77 12th May 2012, 06:18 AM

^You do prove a very good point! I think all three women really do have amazing shows.

I honestly think that's just the name. Like the title of any other concert tour, I don't think it's really a statement that she's the queen of anything.
