Because most likely she was more popular and people bought more physical copies. so obviously =P

LOL xD Um duh, that's what I'm trying to say

[Luv ~Venus~]

Now that I think about, isn't this Ayumi's secong time in a row that "experimental" stuff have caused her to have low-first week sales overall?

Yep with B&D/Pride single though B&D/Pride single was released a month before the album and people knew about the album already so that's the main reason ^_^
and after that her next single sold higher and then the next sold higher again!
Hopefully it will happen this time again. XD

Why can't I ever find that website....I've a lot about it yet I can't find it.

Oooh, I lone to hear that Ayumi and Hikki will do a duet together. The one I was surpried at was that Hikki was never invited to Ayumi's tv show....what was up with that???

Who was all on his or her "fantasy" list? I want to know. XD

@ayumisrael: That's conciderate of her although I'd never turn down any awards. XD

Maybe Toshiba-EMI thought Hikki wouldn't benefit from an apperarance at ayu ready?

Thankies! Thankies! Thankies! "Maybe I was searching for the wrong thing!*

Maybe Toshiba-EMI thought Hikki wouldn't benefit from an apperarance at ayu ready?

Well, that would make sense...since I think during that time her and Hikki were considered "rivals" But still, that would have been nice to see you know. Those two getting to know more about one another and Ayu getting high ratings doing a duet with Hikki in all!

Why does Ayu and Hikki have to have sales like THAT! I believe if those to were to do a duet together...it'd definitely sale more than that! Aww....and why does that opera dude have to be on the top list again! (ToT) I think by 2009 YUI sales will be more than what person predicted....

I'm reading waaaaay too much in this! XD

RIAJ Monthly Download Ranking:
talkin' 2 myself
August - #17
September - #19

decision
September - #35

http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w071020_1.html (September Monthly Ranking)

According to RIAJ, talkin' 2 myself has not reached 100,000 full downloads yet.

[Luv ~Venus~]

Awww....I guess the Japanese thought that t2m would make an awful ringtone. Oh, well....at least, she reached 100k in sales!

Btw, who's number 1? My computer can't read characters! >_<

[Kouichi]

^Ai No Uta lol

[Luv ~Venus~]

Okay..then! >_> The Japanese REALLY weren't feelin' talkin' 2 myself as a ringtone on their phones!

[AyuGAME]

^maybe its too hard for being ringtone

[freedreamer]

i think on H/p it may just sound like noise coz its very rich...
yay for Ayu 100k at least..

i too was expecting more...

i think all those tabloids and news and everything has caused people's impression of Ayu to change...so it could have contributed to the decreasing sales as well...
i just hope Ayu continue strong and dun care about the lesser sales...

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Maybe it has something to do with her breaking up with that "guy" too.

Talkin' 2 myself is #26 on the charts.

[ayumisrael]

I don't know what you're all talking about, jsut because it doesn't sell 200,000 doesn't mean 100,000 is bad x_x.
and maybe in full legal dwonloads it sold 70,000 and on mu-mo another 30,000 or more that it already reached 200,000 in total? Though more than 100,000 is not bad itself.

You're just highly exaggerating XD. talkin' 2 myself didn't sell low one bit.
Believe me, ayu and avex gained their profit from that single, that is for sure.
Maybe not hundred thousands but a lot of thousands ^_^.

[~*Mabushii*~]

I don't think the sales are terrible.
Lets think about how much money Ayu and Avex made shall we?
So sales are 100k
Lets say 50k are cd+dvd and the other 50k are just CD ver
50k x 19.25 = $962500 USD or 110,292,875.00 JPY
50k x 11.25 = $562500 USd or 64,456,875.00 JPY

Thats $1,525,000 USD or 174,749,750 JPY That's not a small ammt of money right there folks

RIAJ would have already added in the mu-mo totals though.

I think using the avex Japanese prices (1050/1890) would be more accurate than using US$. From that, avex would have to subtract the cost of 2 PVs, production of the single (cost of recording, mixing, distributing, making the CD, composers, covers etc.), promotion of the single and giving some to the stores - which I think in the end profit ~US$500k or less.

I would die to have 500,000$ XD

The cost to make a CD is just a few cents, the covers are relatively simple in their design and photography, decisions PV i doubt cost much, recording.. probably didn't cost much either.. still.. I think it'd be a little more than US$500k maybe not a lot more..
but then you need to go and figure in all the legal downloads from ringtones, and from single downloads, which I hadn't done..

but still, making 500K isn't that bad at all
