O_O, awesome. Was that an album or a single?

I suspect Ayu is already too well known, most people who want her album buy it immediately when it's released thus giving her the high first week sales, but very low in the following weeks.

Single. Another Ai example, 'Sakuranbo' sold 6k in its' 1st week and managed to sell 520k by the end.

It's a single which charted forever. Since September 2005 until February this year it was in the Top 30 of Oricon's weeklies.. >.> But the song is nice though.

^ Yep, Sakuranbo was the other miracle. It was another of those songs that charted like "zutttoooo.." and sold a ton in the end. Released who knows when and charted for almost two years, right?

Otsuka's sales are really good too, ever since her debut single, her sales have maintained over 100 000 copies. Never below that.

Yep. All her singles (save her debut) have all gone above 100k, 3 of the 11 released so far have gone above 300k.

Sakuranbo was released in like Dec 03 and I think was still charting in like early 2005.
