[Aisha_Angel]

My predictions are relatively low...3-400,000+ for the first week due to lack of promotional activities and because of avex's little "choose your favorite artist" scam.

I really think it's unfair of them to release SO many A-list stars material all within the same month---Namie Amuro, TOHOSHINKI, Ayu, Koda Kumi, BoA...I mean I know that they're all rivals and all, but can't Avex think about the fans of these artists. I don't know about many but I'm a supporting fan of Ayu & THSK...but with a college tuition to pay, I can't afford to buy both of their albums within the same month. I mean, I could always just wait but until next month to get one and but the other now, but it brings to fruition the "choose your favorite artist(s)" concept.

I don't know how the economic condition is in Japan, but I think this marketing strategy by Avex isn't going to work out as well as they intended. Every one of their releases sales will end up slashed in half because of this. Or at least that's just my opinion.

cross fingers.... XD

wishing all the best for NEXT LEVEL!

wohow!

Since when do companies ever care about their customers?

[waterballoon]

[kirei_ayumi]

The economic situation in Japan is frankly, terrible. Actually, if you think about it, avex releasing ALL of their A-listers in March is a "good" idea because the financial year closes March 31st...So, they really gotta make some quick cha-ching!!!

Anyways, here is hoping to a great start...200k+ first day sales, please??

What's the scam? And yea I agree with the sales because of the regression.....I'm confident that regardless, Ayu will still comes out on top.
