you know Avex constantly saying "this is Ayu's ###th consecutive number 1 single, and ###th number 1 single in total" after the 1st week of sales of each single.

Imo, it would be nice if she could outsell Masuharu, but I wouldn't freak out if she didn't get a #1. Those streaks are after all something that the record labels take care of and that's not just in Ayu's case. Even B'z and KinKi kids do plan their release dates, as once you're past your prime there is always someone who could outsell you and none of them is obviously an exception.

I remember seeing messages on ayu's official website when she broke Oricon records...like her consecutive streak.

I also think it would be nice to keep the streak record... I wonder if avex will do sth.... as some of you said if they move one week after it may be in the 2 week = 1 of oricon, and this is also bad for her... and one week before... can Keisuke be dangeroud for her #1??
well I hope they will move it one week before if her #1 streak isn't sure... if not, keep it on the 16th... let's fight!! XDD No... seriously... I hope they will promote the single much more than with Rule/Sparkle or S/S instead of moving the dates... or make an avex-miracle...

The site said something like "The design has been released for the fleece blanket!" which explains why it kinda looks like a puny handkerchief. For a blanket though, it is pretty small... Size comparison with a similar product: Seems like Japanese fleeces tend to be a lot smaller than the ones here, but it's not like you're spending extra money on it, haha.

I wait until the covers and songs previews will be out, for order it.
I mean, I love you Ayu but I don't want to waste my money in another crappy single like S/S -LOVE is ALL- (infact I didn't buy it lol) BTW that guy seems pretty dangerous for her #1 streak o__o! It will be.. interesting competition, I guess and it would be really bad if she lost her streak as with GUILTY >_<

Unless her new songs are really good, and there's a lot of promotion, and Ayu's fans are aware that danger lurks with Masaharu Fukuyama that Ayu's fans respond by buying and supporting more, we might be in a dead end here...

I don't think there's anything wrong with pushing it UP, music sooner <3
But I don't want them to push it back Music later isn't good

^^ Hah. All this, 'gaaaah omg her streak noooo~ ' And you're just all like, 'so, what about them covers..? '
You know, I will be really sad if Ayu loses her streak... But like I said before, I'd much rather her not be forced to run away from the competition. It's ridiculous, in my opinion. Besides, it's so much more exciting whenever artists actually try to compete for a change.

^ Exactly.
Just catching up here. Wow, so Ayu might actually have a release date with some real competition for once? It's difficult to say what way this one might swing since Fukuyama's sales aren't quite what they used to be either. I for one hope they do not move her release date. For one, all it does is display weakness, like Avex knows her number 1 streak is extremely fragile and they are desperate to hold on to it even if the only way to hold on to it is to put her in weeks with no threats against her. And two, it just makes for a more exciting time overall. Pretty much one of the most famous males singers in Japan in the last several decades.

And as for an exciting time, if Masaharu smashes Ayu in the first two days, that's anything but exciting.

i'd rather see avex put some effort into the promotion, but more than that i hope the songs are worth promoting. it seems promising after reading the lyrics and ayu's description of what's to come, but it all remains to be seen. if they're generic ballads with nice lyrics, it won't really matter to me since it's not like i can't speak japanese. and the PVs for each song should be better than both the S/S PVs combined.. just sayin'
i just hope they won't push it back until it's guaranteed that she'll be on top. it's annoying and she might as well not have a streak because it's worthless since she has no actual competition to beat out.

For those wondering about comparison: The sales for his 3 most recent singles were as follows: Keshin - 206,803 (2009), Sou ~New Love New World~ (2008) - 178,546, Tokyo ni mo Attanda (2007) - 139,907. If Ayu has first week sales like Days/Green then she has a shot. Otherwise I would say she is more likely to lose the first week than Fukuyama. (that is unless Fukuyama just doesn't promote this single at all) Last edited by SunshineSlayer; 14th November 2009 at 01:03 AM. |

Promotion or no promotion, Fukuyama seems to have this in the bag. He sold 150,000+ ringtones of the main single track in a week according to news reports. His fans are probably going to eat this single up just as quickly. I wonder if record companies generally try to avoid scheduling their heavy hitters around one another to keep the peace, haha. 2008's first weeks definitely fared better. And his album also fared well with casual listeners. [470k+?] Quote:

Yes. I'd actually probably buy the single if regular people got it...
