Has she always sold more than Ayu, album-wise? I heard something like that.

[pop909]

utada's First Love album sold 10mil a couple years ago.

[immel]

Her debut album sold 7 millions.

I heard it, in the end, reached around 10 millions in total? The last official numbers are somewhere around 8 million, I think.

Can anyone confirm?

[bluegie]

hikki's First Love sold around 7.6 million copies in Japan (yearly no. 1 in 1999; 10 million copies total worldwide)
Second album --> Distance: 4.3 million copies in Japan (yearly no. 1 in 2001, A BEST was yearly no. 2 by then with 4.1 or 4.2 million copies)
Third album --> DEEP RIVER: 3.5 million copies in Japan (yearly no. 1 in 2002.. I am should be yearly no. 2, over 2 million copies sold)
Best album --> UH Single Collection Vol. 1: 2.5 million copies in Japan (yearly no. 1 in 2004)


I'm not sure whether First Love has reached 8 million copies or not. That was the shipping numbers tho..
Side note: RAINBOW was yearly no. 2 in 2003 (CHEMISTRY was no.1)... I really hope she will have an "album yearly no. 1" title in the future.. well at least she got yearly no. 1 in single once --> H .

XD BOUNCEBACK owns. I want 1LOVE or the untitled track to be a mix of ourselves/Because of You/No way to say/Greatful days. no j/k but BOUNCEBACK would be fancy. No BOUNCEBACK in the 2006 songs right or..?

But somehow I think the untitled track is gonna be a ballad :|

random: my MY STORY booklet says BOUNCEBACK did "HONEY" XD...

[ayuflareup!]

Did memorial address sell over a million as well?
If so, I believe it is possible for this mini album to be sold at millions as well, since as some of you said, this will be a more economical album and people will be thirsted for the album

[immel]

Memorial address sold slightly over 1 million. It was released after a full lenght album that sold nearly two millions.

The new mini album will be released now, sales have declined. It will be released after full lenght album that sold almost one million.

I think there will be a huge difference.

[truehappiness]

BOUNCEBACK didn't do HONEY.

Booklet was wrong, correction was made that it was done by Tetsuya Yukimi.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :<

Well the same could be said for Ayu.

[truehappiness]

Well, the thing is that usually the Hikki original albums did 2 million ++++

:|

[ayu_fan929]

I guess....but the last time she released 1 was 4 years ago, which happens to be like the last year that Japan had high high sales

[truehappiness]

I wonder if JEWEL is the opening track since the new 'studio' JEWEL is 01. JEWEL..

[immel]

That's very possible... but it can also be randomly named so by the tagger.

[truehappiness]

That'll be so weird if the album opens with JEWEL..


OH GOD PLEASE DONT DIRECT TAKAHIDE >WDWQE@E(@)@

[immel]

I thought you liked Ayus recent PVs

[truehappiness]

I thought they were okay.
But the directors = need to be stabbed.

The use of the same director THREE TIMES IN A ROW + 'direction aid' = NO! NO NO!!N!O!NO!NO !N!O!NO!

It's like, NOT AT ALL like Wataru Takeishi and instead we get like some novice director who can't do anything >>

[extepan]

each director have their way of doing stuff, it can look amateur, but maybe in fact he is not amateur. if you know what i mean.
