[owlflight]

Can't wait for my copy! Go Ayu!

[Delicious n Bold]

At least she's selling something...

[RealLight]

Oh well, bye-bye 100k in one week. x-x but if it still manage to pass the 100k mark, I'll be satisfied.

[Bigtop]

Well, we might not reach 100k, but #1 is still a #1...

(And keep in mind - these are physical sales! What about some boys and girls who are DOWNLOADING this, legally or illegally?)

^

interesting. thank u

[calltome]

I know I'm gonna get burn badly for this but, love again will never surpass party queen. What I'm trying to say is that if only ayu would've stayed somewhat in between love songs and party queen in terms if sales things would've been better. Why do I still think everyone still hates her because of the whole maro thing!!

[mizuki-7]

Why do I still think everyone still hates her because of the whole maro thing!!

1- Ayu is in decline since years
2- The whole 15th anniversary thing is quite a mess since the beginning
3- So much scandals about ayu since some time and this things with Maro is like very very bad for her image :/
4-Too close Releases !
5- Lack of real promo ... (but I think it's her decision)

When I become fan in 2010 I thought she was still popular but I've quickly understand it was not the reality so I was a bit sad but now it's ok even I'm not very satisfied about this situation lol I really like when I love something that it be the best =)

everything you said is true... and it's sad cuz i saw that happening from the very beggining back in 2006~2007

[TeamAyu2004]

Well she was still pretty popular in 2010 still... even in 2011.
in 2010 she had an album at the yearly charts in 21
2011 she had 2: Love songs at 23 and FIVE at 30
and in 2012 she had 2 in the top 50.

all in all thats still good. Out of all the albums that we released in those years she is still in the top 50 (we are talking 100's of albums). She goes down every year, but thats natural.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

It only makes sense that her music isn't as popular as before considering peoples' tastes change. I've learned though that I definitely don't listen to her music for the number of sales! I just love her music whether more people are buying it or not.

I sure wish they would sell her music in America. (I know that that's not totally realistic, but I'm still wishin'.)

[adantatu2]

Do you know a good website to buy Love again (HK or TW press) without credit card or paypal ??
I really want to buy a physical copy, but the credit card is dead now T_T

[rikku1994]

Her sales are already declining since 2005... So for me, I kinda expected this.

Maybe the sudden decline of her sales for LOVE again declined because there are a lot of fans who are still pissed about LOVE and again...

BUT I'M SO HAPPY THIS GOT NO.1 IN THE CHARTS. The album deserved it! ^^

[brener]

omg. lets cross fingers!!

[Cahz-]

better than expected tbh, #1, you are ours!!!

[Delicious n Bold]

I hope that it's certified gold at the least..
When I said that LOVE would be the last to get certified, I didn't wholly mean it.

I'm sure LOVE again has a shot in getting certified by RIAJ next month

I don't think again might be able to get the RIAJ certification , especially since last month's RIAJ certifications been already released yesterday

[ayumisrael]

Well ayu pretty much won another #1! We just need to wait for the official announcement.

[MeyChan]

Not bad!! Waiting for something like 60k for the first week sales.
And #1 for her!! ò_o
