Yeah riiiiiiiiight.

[LacusClyne]

oh no...(m)u is out....well although Bluebird is currently at no 3, if kuu had another single out(yeah, those rumour-7 singles), kuu might actually take over that no 3....

[truehappiness]

Eh, it's #3 in terms of female singles.

IMHO, Ayu'd so be first if a certain someone wasn't---yeah : D

I think that Ayu deserves to sell a million of her next single :]

[darkswordz]

which is impossible considering the current state of the music industry in Japan

[Surreal]

^Well...Seishun Amigo got 1.6 million so far..haha...but it's kind of impossible for Ayu to pull even 500 k these days..sigh. No million seller for m(u)? Aww.

[AyuGAME]

thanks for the info

Surreal is right here...i've been staring at past single sales figures recently and omg...u can just tell how bad the state of the music industry is in Japan. back then (98~00), a million seller would probably get u in top 10 and 800,000 would get u in top 20. now? u only need 400,000ish to get into top 20. sad eh?

i would say its around 2002, that's when the sales went down dramatically...dont' u think?

[ayu_fan929]

Well at least the industry for the past 2 years (2005/2006) has improved from the lows of 2003/2004. So that's a good sign.

[truehappiness]

Abundance of boy bands..

I wonder if Ayu'll be able to restablize her sales at 300k..

[cybermoomba]

OMG (m)u is dead

[alternarist]

yeah. (miss) understood is finally out after 8 months. sad case. it didnt even reach 900,000.

Meh. Other people's sales did improve. Plus, it wasn't that "Johnny's heavy" until this year and non-solo artists have usually done better in singles anyways. (before the decline)

Album sales are in decline since 2002, no?

2005 singles > 2004 singles
2005 albums > 2003, 2004 albums

2006 singles looks like it will either break even or do better than 2005. 2006 albums looks like it will do worse than 2005 by a bit.

[pbs1605]

That is a shame about (m)u.

[nodoka]

Aww...I can't believe (m)u is out already. I thought it would last a bit longer...
