Acttually Kuu does appeal to a wide age range of fans.

Nobody can destroy Ayu! SHE'S THE QUEEN!

You have no idea how long Koda will be able to stay on top, and like ayu_fan said, Koda also has a wide range of fans. Koda is also all about the music. Sheesh. Regardless, if Ayu retired tomorrow or quit from Avex, they would not be "dead." The record label is called Avex, not Ayu.

I don't know. It seems that are more females that are into her. I'm not saying anything bad, I'm a koda fan myself. Koda's songs are more "sexier". You know.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

depends on your definition of sexy but they are certainly more provocative.

[darc_aqua]

Her songs are really great. But some of them can be very "sexy" hard to find a word. Like "imasugu Hoshii", "JUICY", "Shake it"

Sales don't really matter to me because they have little impact on if an artist is good or not. All it can tell you is if the mainstream crowd/majority likes them or not, and they overlook a lot of quality artists for lesser artists all the time.

I don't want to sound stupid for asking this but is it true that Secret has sold 696,280 copies?

[ayu_fan929]

^Ummm no. Where did you get that info?

Probably worldwide if that has some shred of truth in it. But I doubt it, where else can Secret sell if not in Japan? But if that includes the second week sales then... WOW.

[ayu_fan929]

^Yeah. I doubt that it could have sold 310,000 worldwide while Japan only sold a bit higher than that.

[IYFreak]

ummm....I kind at wit at wiki I wish they would post where they got there info from I guess its not true but it is or was thats amazing

[s1012h]

i guess you could say that avex is ayu
ayu was the one that brought avex up to be one of the most famous japanese music company
but she's not all of it
just a huge part of it

[ayu_fan929]

She is a good chunk of it but now with other popular artists in avex such as Ai, Kuu and BoA, her significance has greatly diminished.

[Mad_Cactuar]

I hate when vandals ruin wiki articles, I guess you took the figure you posted from the Secret wiki page. Those people make wiki less credible.

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

Well atleast they increased it, not decreased.

[Mad_Cactuar]

Good point. I hope Oricon actually made a mistake and that's the actual sales. Although that's as likely as Black Cherry selling less than 300k in the first week.

[s1012h]

i think second week sales for Secret will probably be around the same
maybe around 200,000 to 300,000
let's hope
i'm not expecting over 400,000, cause that would be frigging shocking
and i think Black Cherry will probably sell around the same as Secret
probably more cause of all the extra bonus goodies the first press and CD+2 DVD has
