It was recently said (by ayu_fan929?) that the oricon year will be extended a bit... that sort of leaves Secret hanging. The first two weeks of its sales will be in 2006, and the rest in 2007 ... which will be... not good, I think you can figure.

It all depends on the marketing strategy!

I don't think Secret is going to sell a million. Most Ayu's material since MY STORY lacks any 'soul', they sound generic and I think the public notices that. I hope the album tracks are more edgy (1LOVE sounds promising) than the safe bubblegum pop she's putting out lately.

Hoorible. :x The first Ayu original studio album that won't be in the top 10 of the yearly charts.

Unless of course it manages the crazy Ayu first week sales that vanished since Rainbow left the charts.

That's debatable.

You shouldn't care what other people think. That's their opinion. You should just have your own opinion...

I don't see why other people calling Ayu's album 'rushed' or 'lq' would have any affect on you...

And will it sell a million copies? There are many reasons why it could sell well. The single sales weren't that great, so maybe people were waiting for the album, and this could boost the sales. I have a feeling it will sell more than (m)u, but I'm not sure if it'll sell a million..

Nice to see we have another optimist.

At least the number isn't waning!

Tough question. I have no idea though it's probably what avex is aiming for.

truehappiness · #70 24th October 2006, 09:28 AM

It doesn't affect me that much, I just twitch a bit when people repeatedly say that kind of thing.. [i.e about this year's singles so far x.x]~

:B I'll never stop loving the music!

I will hold a small competition, lol.

I will buy Secret CD only version for anyone who can guess exactly correctly on the first week sales for this album.

I will, I promise.

alternarist · #74 24th October 2006, 01:46 PM

i think Secret will definitely sell more than a million because the surprise element is larger! (m) u was rather expected. and also so far, all 5 songs released are great!! with better looking covers and a brand new theme for the album, i dont see why it cant sell more than a million copies!!!

jasjasss · #75 24th October 2006, 01:56 PM

hope it will sellll 1 millionn
go ayu

Well you better make a thread on it cos I'm so taking part.

Margin of error? I'll make a prediction thread then..

BabyUtada · #77 24th October 2006, 02:58 PM

No because mostly everyone has all the songs to the mini-album now......which is why I don't understand why she she would release a mini-album with songs she has already sold!
