To make a comparison Madonna re-issued her album Celebration in Japan in 2016 and sold 863 copies

Also Mariah Carey released a 25th Anniversary Version of her album Merry Christmas THIS MONTH in Japan and sold 599 copies

Namie Amuro too, released last year a remastered version of her very first album ORIGINAL TRACKS VOL.1 and sold 13,397 copies

As you can see ayu's sales are very high in comparison to other female artists comparable releases

When you put it that way, that makes it look very impressive for Ayu. She has the most die hard fans.

Yeah. People keep comparing her to her peak, or to the artists who manage to keep up a career over decades (Namie or Utada for Japan). But almost all artists slide from where they were. Ayu being where she is after over 20 years is actually vanishingly rare. She has no reason to retire when she can sell out concerts, have best-selling books, and do advertising with video games (We are the Queens) and lingerie (La Perla).

Any news about an OS press?

I've heard she didn't sell out one date last year. Can anyone confirm?

I think the most accurate comparison would be when Utada re-released First Love. Don't know the figures for that one though.
