[CHARTS + SALES] GUILTY -- ORICON STYLE - Page 10

Yagami Raito · #1 27th December 2007, 01:05 PM

Well... Release the album on 25th wasn't a good idea, I think... You know, X'mas in Japan ain't like X'mas here ! In Japan there's not really X'mas presents so why did they release it on X'mas day ?
It would be better to release it on 1/1 'cause students/children receive money ("otoshidama") from their parents.
Well.. maybe the sales will increase on January 1st =) wait & see .. lol

AyuGAME · #2 27th December 2007, 01:12 PM

^yeah there is a lot of kodomo (child) that love ayu, we can see from the best artist graphic, a lot of people around 10-20 years old love ayu, maybe their running out of the money, hopefully during new year it can rise again, and hopefully her CDL can help it too

Not~Yet · #3 27th December 2007, 01:48 PM

I think CDL will help, because most likely there will be stuff in magazines about it Well if someone has somehow made it in Japan without seeing any of GUILTY promo before...... Or something.Though I highly doubt.
I can't understand why Ayu's sales have been worse lately, since I think the guality of her music is still awesome.

cloud♥honey · #4 27th December 2007, 01:58 PM

Calm down people. Soon it will get a little bit better. GUILTY is in the flop way, lmao.

Not~Yet · #5 27th December 2007, 02:04 PM

^No way to go but up

Jwiz · #6 27th December 2007, 02:05 PM

^ hope so =))

Ayu's only hope now is that people will be more in the shopping mode once the New Year's holidays kick in. (And that maybe some fans are waiting to buy the album at the CDL...)

People need to stop thinking that Avex is cheating or doing the 1/1 release date on purpose to guarantee a #1. It doesn't work like that. All the albums' totals will be added together for the two weeks. It's not like Ayu's having two weeks counted and that other artists will only count one week or something.

Oricon (12/24~12/26)
Kobukuro: 71,967
Ayu: 63,548
Exile: 51,385

Kobu is too high for her and currently she can be beaten by Exile.

For the 2 weeks, i see:
1. Kobu
2. Ayu (or Exile if they win the Records Taisho)
3. Exile

QFT.

The smart people of JPM have provided this list.

01->02->02 - Kobukuro - 33384 + 21742 + 16841 (x1.7) = 122,344
xx->01->01 - Ayumi Hamasaki - 39292 + 24256 (x1.7) = 108,032
02->03->03 - EXILE - 24610 + 15207 + 11568 (x1.7) = 87,355

As you can see, Ayumi passed EXILE and is gaining on Kobukuro. There's still a chance to reach the weekly #1.

Oh and btw, it's one thing to be realistic, but I think that you're in the wrong forum once you start bashing the record label or the person themself who this forum is dedicated to. [ I know this sentence is grammatically incorrect, but I needed to express myself with fancy words. D: ]

go ayu
i hope she can sell more than Kobukuro does

elepop · #11 27th December 2007, 02:48 PM

Okay, she have a chance to be #1. But her sales aren't gonna be impressive. As long as she's #1 in the weekly chart, I'm happy.

Same feelings

cloud♥honey · #13 27th December 2007, 02:58 PM

If she's selling ok I don't care about the sales number. GUILTY was an amazing album and nothing will change my opinion about it, not because of the sales or opinion of others around.

btw asongforXX, where you found those awesome brushes (or textures) of your amazing set? *_*

Before they became invite-only... As for the flowers, I can't remember! XD

[EDIT] Here's some that are similiar. From the same person, but not the same as the one I used on my sig:

Thanks criminal. Glad to see that Ayu has a chance on getting yet another #1. Also I'm glad to see some hint of sanity. Some of you people seem to be waiting to celebrate on what you consider to be Ayu's failure or something and it's getting really annoying listening to these comments. It's an Ayu forum and I don't come here to see this kind of junk.

I know right! The negativity is amusing...

QFT times 2.

I honestly have never seen this kind of behavior anywhere else but an Ayu forum. Can't we just appreciate that Ayu's still around at all? That doesn't seem like an easy feat, especially with the competition in her genre.

I'm happy to see that it's gaining on EXILE, though sales and numbers honestly don't mean much to me.

elepop · #18 27th December 2007, 03:59 PM

I have a little question...

How come Ayu only has 2 days of sales and Kobukuro and EXILE has 3 days?

And I was reading this thread and some talked about the first sales of GUILTY would be the 2 first weeks combined? How come?

ayu_fan929 · #19 27th December 2007, 04:07 PM

The Oricon week starts on Monday, ends on Sunday which means old releases get the extra day "advantage" every week.

1st week sales would be the 2 first weeks combined because Oricon stops reporting (for holidays) for 1 week - they combine sales from the last week of each year with the first week of each year to form a 2-week period.

I see, thanks for explaining this!
