ayu is still very popular, probably more than the last time. illegal downloads are probably the one to blame..

or maybe it's because it was released so quickly right after fairyland...and the new rumoured single coming so quickly after this would suffer it's sales to. And if an album comes out the same year, it's death for ayumi.

No not death. That's too drastic to think. She's just probably become a bit "overripe" and not be as enjoyable as before. She keeps churning out high quality products, but just a bit too fast for everyone to digest.

It's all quite simple.

is this LOVE? > alterna > HEAVEN > STEP you > fairyland

Some American artist's album don't even sale as great as Ayu's "HEAVEN"...

So don't worry, "HEAVEN" is doing good!

Problem? Maybe it's because of NANA that got too much the attention away from other good movies like "SHINOBI". Could be that anyhow. I donno otherwise.

Has the shinobi movie released?

Nice going, throwing in your opinion and speaking it as if it's truth! >_o

I think HEAVEN sells pretty well so far, and I don't think having only 1 PV or no "wow" factor matter that much. It's the theme song of the movie "Shinobi" afterall, isn't that enough?

I think all the excuses so far are kinda lame. So yeah, don't ask if there's a problem or try to explain it because HEAVEN is doing great and it's one of her most beautiful ballad. Will is awesome too, it's a great single I must say.

I think the PV had a little something to do with it, but if I'm not mistaken; alot of popular artists came out with a single or album around the same time.

I think the reason is that sale of ballad songs is almost always worse than up-beat and fast tracks so it's not surprising for me. I must say my first feelings about HEAVEN was "so so" but after time passes I like this single very much.
