Why does japan NOT care about digital sales?
They're very important everywhere else... |

I think they do, but just not to the extreme as the rest of the world...
but if you look at it, itunes is the big thing. they jsut recently got into the whole apple craze. also I think it has to do with having actual something to hold on to... you cant do that with digital... but it also seems where because they lack space so one would assume that they would rather have all that stuff on a harddrive, lol. |

I think Japan does, just not Oricon. Billboard Japan counts both physical and digital sales.

Quote:
The strange thing is Billboard Japan features Ayu no where, except in a small advertisement for Hot Shot Discs. She's no where in the hot 100 or 200, which is strange. Even if LOVE was a bomb, her song Missing would definitely rank AT LEAST in the mid 50s, which is currently being occupied by such hits as Akai Jounestu by Super Girls (???) and Follow Me by E-Girls, with Christina Aguilera and Rihanna tagging along as well... Whats going on! |

It's probably why Billboard Japan isn't the 'norm'.

Japan would care about digital sales I think...if they had better platforms for it...
Their whole industry and business is so ungodly outdated. Will they rely on ringtones forever Anyways. All the flop talk is laughable. Ayu is an old woman. She can do whatever she likes now. She can release singles and call them mini-albums and charge everyone more. And look, she's still selling very well in that market that's so hostile to female solos. My poor girls. I can't wait for this damned week to be over so we can have final sales already and chart positions. I hope my Beni makes the top 8.

It started in 2008. Ayu's only #1s on the Hot 100 were back in 2008/2009 with Days and Rule respectively. I wonder what's so different now because her releases don't chart there at all anymore. It's kind of odd to see some of these acts in the "top XX" spots really.

^ it may be because they count digital sales as well? Whoever released on the same day as her might have out sold her with the digital singles included...
Edit: Oh! And she also got a number 1 with L... I really dont understand how they do it in japan because she never appears the week she released... Last edited by TeamAyu2004; 12th November 2012 at 11:51 AM. |

Meh, once a singer or group other than AKB gets a million selling CD, that's when I'll start caring about sales in Japan again.
It's much too one sided right now. It's not normal for (literally) only one act to be achieving such high sales when everyone else is not.

^ 2. lol.
Cant forget about Arishi... although, they still dont get the high amount of sells as AKB... man... this is how it must of felt like for ayumi haters back in 2000/1/2... lol... but AKB is doing about 10x better then ayumi ever did. |

#215

#216

(50000-38372)/3=3876, I think she'd probably sold more than that during those 3 unknown days.

I expect 60-70k for the first week. Maybe around 100k in total, "again" might even give "LOVE" a slight boost
