I guess these initial numbers are boosted by pre-release sales, so we'll see a massive drop by tomorrow. I think 12/15k is the most accurate first week sales goal.

[Katsuyuki012]

The sales are from the 24th, so that should mostly be pre-orders. I'm curious to see how many bought it in stores on the actual release day. We'll find out tomorrow!

[AyuCanada]

I am predicting 10K first week and Maybe close to 20K in the end... i would have love her to sell 30K to finally cross the 50.1 millions sales :p

[Sky High]

I wonder if it is possible to see somewhere how much she sold in the first week?

[AyuGAME]

Tomorrow we can check it on Oricon

Thanks

Also, what is this clip about, and does anyone have a full version of it?

[voltron]

^ It's from the MuraAyu channel on TA. She basically does an unboxing and talks about the album.

[Sky High]

^ Thank you

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I really wonder what all her posts on Instagram have been for lately. They all look like photo shoots.

[CeReSu]

I'm wondering the same ! And she is cryptic as usual

[BlackSilence]

She looks hella strange in that add video, i cannot put my finger on what it is though.

Nothing else - the staff who were removed are still removed. There were a few articles around that time reporting on some kind of financial fraud going on with one of Ayu's staff but they've since disappeared, and we've had no other comments really.
