^yap. im happy for her record though. its just sad to see her putting so much effort into it and it wont sell that much as aone. or even colours. nevertheless, it gets positiv reviews so im happy anyway!

i thought ayu was getting more attention since she has been more everywhere than last two years but maybe people are listening to her via AWA and iTunes, at least i hope so! it's sad to see my queen getting this low sales

although i stopped purchasing her releases right after Zutto... / Last minute / Walk so who am i to blame

I didn't realize RMX works didnt make top 10

Was that a big deal at the time? Lol

KarenPang · #4 6th July 2016, 05:44 AM

Any form of record that Ayu kept on setting/breaking as each year goes by is always a good thing

It's unfortunate M(A)DE IN JAPAN 1st week sales are even lower than A ONE as for once I wished it would have been higher as it deserves so :x

For now , let's see if M(A)DE IN JAPAN will have a long run on Oricon like what happened with A ONE

I mean, she barely held off Sakurako Ohara by less than 2,000 copies...

it depends on the future album releases if miJ has a long run. i remember last year there were barely any new released albums after a one. therefore it was so steady. oricon would have stopped after some weeks. we had plenty weeks were she sold 500 copies. so if theres good competition than we wont see a long run like aone had, unfortunately

mabibitan · #7 6th July 2016, 08:07 AM

I wonder how many times her album has been listened in AWA. At least Spotify shows you the amount of plays per song. Anyone in AWA here?

TheRainbow · #8 6th July 2016, 12:03 PM

True longevity lol.

//ABEST · #9 6th July 2016, 01:04 PM

iirc Colours charted only 9 weeks so that might be MIJ's case as well

sad to see album this good to get so low sales, A ONE was shit and sold better than this

TheRainbow · #10 6th July 2016, 01:06 PM

Aw I still think A ONE is a solid album with a few issues, same as MIJ. But it's difficult to see this represent her sales when it's been out so long.

rainbow_smile · #11 6th July 2016, 01:57 PM

Well, only 10k people added the album to favourites on AWA so I don't think it made that much of a difference

TheRainbow · #12 6th July 2016, 02:47 PM

10k is a lot for her nowadays lol.

rainbow_smile · #13 6th July 2016, 03:09 PM

^ I'm pretty sure the majority of those people are her fans though and bought the album anyway haha especially considering the such a huge number of plays..

Aderianu · #14 6th July 2016, 03:49 PM

I'm pretty satisfied with sales! I thought it will get only 35k

njanjayrp · #15 6th July 2016, 09:00 PM

Overall I prefer A ONE to MIJ as a whole. As much as I like the first 3 tracks, besides Summer Love and MCM I find myself skipping thru the other 4 tracks. On A1 I only avoided The Gift.

Why are people surprised at this....

IKR? Like, it's not that she's going after them sales and she's focusing so much more with her lives so I don't really think it's a bad thing, it's just the way things are. I'm actually glad that her decline in sales isn't as drastic compared to the drop she got from FIVE to Party Queen to LOVE again (now that's a disaster imo)

MIJ is a really good album and an incredibly refreshing one because all the songs are actually good this time.

Plus, looking at the other female artists' sales nowadays she is doing relatively well even with all the bad press she got over the years. I mean my worst fear is that she'll end up like Ami Suzuki-like sales tho Ami's decline is another story...

Went up to #12 yesterday

Of course! No promotion, lazy PVs, unispired covers, and short album (if you minus tasky and MCM, its the same number of tracks for memorial address), yet people think this album will sell stellar.

Despite all that, this album has great music and lyrics. Ayu just don't promote herself anymore and her sales will continue to decline as a result.
