New album 'Colours' out July 2nd

[brener]

Do they count overseas sales from CDJapan, HMV, etc...?

[TeamAyu2004]

I find it odd that they keep cutting their numbers?
I mean, are they trying to make themselves irrelevant?

She'll come to a point where she'll go all back into her image. Everything is too easy going now and I'm sure she'll get bored of it as her life is her music career and she's the most sincere artist out there I know.

Lelio official lyrics



From Baidu

The first line is "Jump out or stay"

And the chorus is "Lelio Lelio Lelio Lelio DJ Yeah That's You"

If you buy a japanese version of a single/album from Yesasia and CDJapan, it counts to Oricon.

[Coelacanth]

I love how she writes the official English (ea ea ea ea ea), lol.

Hm so Robin Morssink co-wrote the music and mixed it.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I can't believe they're releasing exercise dvds. A EXERCISE LOL

[maxikot]

I've checked the trailer and laughed hard. Every second killed me xD Though i imagine people doing that at home and it definetely will raise the mood. The ending is fabulous "Are you ready? A Exercise!"

[Ashen Twilight]

Omg I can't believe this is actually a thing...

[FoxyPinkGirl]

Yeah I just saw the trailer/commercial for the exercise videos. My reaction was wtf? Lol

I think those numbers started to make some considerable gap between artists who sell a lot outside Japan and artists that can't do it. Think about the numbers that these girlgroups and boybands can sell around the Asian continent, it wouldn't be fair to count their sales when artists like ayumi don't sell that big.

I disagree. If the sale is made in Japan for a Japanese product, it should count, regardless of where that product ends up going.

In any case, Ayu's sales are about to take a nose-dive because a good portion of those would be to international consumers.

For sure! It's a Japanese version.... .....so why wouldn't it count as a Japanese sale?

I do think that sales will start to drop a bit at least with international fans unable to contribute

They wanted to focus on the Japanese market. As in what the people in Japan liked. It's totally different if the item is sent overseas. It serves as a guidance for companies that wanted to market their artist locally.

When are these covers going to be released??

[LONJJONG]

They should just make a separate chart, huh?

I was just thinking that—, it's very close to release date.
