New single 'Feel the love / Merry-go-round' out 12/25 [II]

[Bigtop]

Shirayukihime? I didn't know about that... And Yuzu... Maybe the Ayu era is already over...

I mean, now it's status quo - playing like Koda Kumi in terms of chart sales... (but to be honest, I don't really care much about the Oricon charts very much if any...too often it's Johnny's and AKB acts taking the top spots)

[truehappiness]

The last single had a huge boost from 9k-10k to about 45k~ in the first week. Not sure why, tbh. It competed with Happiness' single that week.

I've checked that before too, their popularity increased a lot... Judging by the views on Shiroyukihime PV , the tie-in, the song itself being a winter ballad and the fact that Flower is a girlgroup, it has a great chance to get the #2 position.

wow, what a huge difference! Impressive.


Well, we'll see, I honestly have no idea of how much Ayu's new single could sell, it's been so long since she last released a single that it's really hard to predict (a single labeled and promoted as "single"), let's just wait and see

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

charts aside, is anyone really excited for this single?
I so am! i need a cm already!

YAYY!!!

I need to gush with someone because its a pretty perfect single for me (though Merry-go-Round should've been the A-side ).

[AyuWorld]

oohh yess! damn Avex where is the CM? im sooo waiting for the CM

E-Girls popularity is growing (actually, you can see them on very popular shows), FLOWER and the rest of LDH girlgroups are having better sales too. Maybe they could sell less because her popular and beautiful leader left the group. And they will be releasing their debut album in January, so the sales could be lower

I think ayu will be No.4, and that's a really nice peak.

They DO count Music Cards.

How do we know?

It's strange because they list the versions they count. They listed all three MUSIC CARDS of G-Dragons Japanese album and they are counting its sales. But they didn't list neither TA limited ver nor the MUSIC CARDS.

Hmmm that's a real bummer if it's true, I was gonna get the TA ver. + music cards on release then get the other versions later...

[pimenta]

I hope they just forgot to list those yet, it's going to be unfair if they don't count the music cards, considering they did count those for other artists...

[truehappiness]

They may have forgotten to list them. Remember we did not get MUSIC CARD info until the covers came out.

[brener]

I went to check G-Drongon's Oricon page again and they're not listing his Music Cards '-' Only The 2CD and the limited 2CD+DVD+PHOTO BOOK+GOODS edition are listed.... And the only two versions wich reached top 20 according to SoundScan are 2CD+DVD and 2CD+DVD+PHOTO BOOK+GOODS. Combined sales of both of them were 21,854 copies on its debut week according to SS, pretty much differente from Oricon's debut week sales that were 75,965 copies.

So this means we really don't know if they're gonna or not count ayu Music Cards and Limited TA numbers...

[~angel*ayumi~]

So I guess they count Music Cards o.o

[brener]

And they're also counting the Korean Edition of Coup D'etat because they state the album has already charted for 11 weeks (the japanese edition was released a week ago, the korean edition 11 weeks ago).

[tbarnes10]

Is the PV for "feel the love" that's out the full version, because the official youtube video calls it "Feel the love (short ver.)."

[truehappiness]

The full version has an additional 5-10 seconds.
