"Little embarrassing conclusion kind of thing I came up with after several days of consideration how our relationship would change if I tell you ‘I see your smile in my dream’ on the road of Platanus" (translation of generasia's page).

The numbers for the 2nd Day may be out in 30~60 mins. But I'm going to sleep now. But don't worry because @ayumisreal will probably post it here asap ^^

Yes and that's probably why the last Hikki single that reached #1 on the Oricon weekly charts is FLavor of Life in 2007...

Where's this "she's been gone for 3 years" thing coming from?

Since Love Songs she's released 2 other albums and 3 minis, which were actually singles, but meh...

I really don't know why she even bothered releasing a single, tbh. She's not performing it anywhere and she's doing INSPIRE in Kouhaku... random much? It's like she doesn't even like the single.

She's getting better sales than what she'd get if she wasn't Ayu, so... that's something.

Yeah she wasn't really gone from anywhere anyway.
At least ayu is being consistent.

She probably wishes to release singles because they themselves promote the album eventually, they also have tie-ins unlike most album only tracks. Even though, yeah you don't have to have singles for this but it should help to some exent and they are a part of the Japanese music culture anyway, Japan is the country where singles sell the best.

I know, the point was that it didn't do as well as popular DVDs or singles.

Besides again, Feel the love/Merry-go-round is not a comeback single because ayu was never gone.

I doubt that most people in japan who are not hardcore fans know that it's her first single since a few years ago.

Well, Fairies was #2 yesterday, and Ayu's #3...

Today Ayu's #3, and of course it's still HSJ #1... But I found out that Yuzu's #2...what?

Didn't we mention earlier in this forum that Yuzu has the potential threat for denying Ayu's #2 run to HSJ?

What happens if Ayu goes outside of the top three?

You guys 30K is a lot in Japan. Most singles don't sell this much anymore.
Yeah, the popular guys still get it, but the other ones? Not so much...

I was seriously expecting less than 10,000 for the first week.

Honestly, this is the come back single, because no one knew she released anything since her last single. Albums aren't really popular, they want the singles.
