[MemorialAddress]

Oh my.
I dont think this one will pass 100k 0.0
This is not like Ayu!!!

[fanmail]

of course it'll pass 100k. just not in the first week =\

[fanmail]

lol. I don't. I buy CDs and then download them from iTunes. ROFL.

lol. I can't wait to see the full mu-mo sales.

[Yukitora]

Considering this single's A side was avaliable for full free download prior to the release, should we really be surprised?


(my personal answer: no v.v)

[Luv ~Venus~]

True

Why the **** would Avex do that for? That's quite retarted!

Because obviously they get more money for this, it's avex after all ^_^.
I don't think that they'll do stuff that will make them get less or loose money.

[Impracticable]

Yes. Avex just LOVES getting more money ...

I'm sure they got money somehow by letting it go for "free"

I was talking about mu-mo legal downloads, not the free download.
Obviously most of the people download the single legally and not buying a physical copy, so avex gets more money for those legal downloads.
Generally and on mu-mo etc.
Thus we see not so high sales on physical copies.

[Lee_Hamasaki]

what is the different between mu-mo and chuku-uta?

[fanmail]

chaku-uta is ringtones, not full length I don't think?

[ayumisrael]

There chaku uta full and there's chaku uta just ringtones. XD

[ayu_fan929]

^No, they were pretty popular throughout their 6 years.

[Maxker]

I think it's doing "bad" (it's not really doing bad, she's #1 after all) because young people enjoy it. (according to the poll from Oricon) and youngsters are the most prone to download songs legal / illegally...and after all, mp3 downloads by mu-mo started 3 weeks before the actual single was out.

From the Avex pdf: (And this was back in March...)

[Coelacanth]

It says on Wikipedia that Avex is one of the most successful indie record labels or something.

So.. I don't get it, Avex isn't a major label?

[xxjonxx]

Major label=Worldwide?
Avex is asia/japan right?
