[criminal]

At least it's 40k and stuff. AAA didn't even crack 2000. o_o

[Luv ~Venus~]

^ Poor AAA! They never get the publicity that they deserve.

Those of you who think you know what you're talking about and saying that these sales are "low" should get a clue D;

[naxxo.licious™]

So it was #2 after all. Anyway, congrats to ayu!

Ayu's last few dvd's debuted with 30-40k. This is higher than that. Dunno what crack all y'all have been smoking.

[truehappiness]

AT06 debuted with around 1,000 - 2,000 more than AT07..

But I guess Kuwata Keisuke's mammoth release had people crazy. XD

Oh well :<~

Hopefully this DVD can chart like A MUSEUM...

[SilentSmiles]

That's not bad , but i hope she gets #1!! n__n

[TITANIC]

well the sales not far from AT 2006..

[njanjayrp]

As long as it sells as close to the AT06 one there is nothing to worry about. And well Namie doesn't have as many concert DVDs as Ayu does, as far as I know..

[CHAS_AYU]

It's nice to have 46,512 in the first week which is not far from AT06.
It even did better than A museum, hope AT07 can sell more than 100K!

I guess the bulk of them are fans, but they're probably civic-minded enough to not splurge excessively on Ayu items.

Don't forget the goods and the stuff that they buy too! That accounts for A LOT of the revenue. DVDs are obviously more expensive. So if you really factor in the costs, that would cost a lot! It's good though to release DVDs, because fans who haven't managed to watch the concert can watch it, and well, the smaller pool of die-hard Ayu fans can collect the DVDs!

And since it's an ASIA TOUR, I'm pretty sure it'll sell better overseas too like Hong Kong, Taiwan and China! I think overseas fans tend to value and treasure Ayu items more than the Japanese do. But I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. It's because her overseas fans aren't in direct contact with her that perhaps they are more attached to Ayu items rather than the Japanese, who would look upon Ayu as less "exclusive" than her overseas fans, explaining perhaps the lower sales of her DVD. It has always been the case anyway.

Yes, i agree, you make great sense here. Well, japanese fans always get to see ayu and this has been going on for close to ten years. Many had already seen her live at least a few times so i guess only fervent supporters will go an extra step in purchasing her DVDs. And yea, probably concert dvds have a higher chance of selling better in overseas as they ''cherish'' ayu more since ayu doesn't visit her overseas fans that often compared to japanese counterparts.

[hiroshi_ben]

the number looks great...i think if the sales would be better if the cover has some "ayu" on it...

[kiseki89]

3/18 - #8
3/19 - #5
3/20 - #5

Nearly died when I see her at 8th, luckily it went up to 5th... hope that weekend sales will be better

[somethinglost]

Why does everyone need to watch her sales so profusely now days? Just let it go.

[4ever*ayu]

^yep, just let it go!
leave this matter to Avex, will ya!?

Btw, congrats to ayu for the #2 spot on weekly DVD sales once again, hopefully it sold 100k or more in the end.

where is the link-source for the sales numbers? it just have the ranking... ):

[TITANIC]

out of my expectation for this DVD tour...

i guess it can sell 100K..
but it seems very hard

[kiseki89]

3/21 - #5

[TITANIC]

[Chibi_Venus]

[Dark_hated]
