Well I know that the CD Japan first press bonus sold out around the day of its premature charting on Oricon, so I'm thinking those international tallies (and the pre-orders from YesAsia,HMV,Tower, and others) won't count until the end of the first weeks total or they've all been shipped. On 2nd thought, I'm really thinking that these 1st three days were a Thanksgiving holiday-related flimsy and that sales will steadily or rapidly increase once the regular venues are all open and people hear more of her radio interviews. Her tickets sold out astonishingly fast for the December concerts and even the live broadcasting theatres, so I'm still totally faithful in this being a million-selling release, MAYBE double million in long term...
Someone did point out a really essential fact that all her (album) releases, Japanese or otherwise, have sold @ least half of their grand totals in the 1st week until now, but like I said the J-pop industry has changed and so has those CD buying demographics (she has fans of all ages and racial demographics of course, but that biggest Japan CD-buying demographic of 20-35, not to mention teens, are just not turning out for solo artists like they once did regardless of quality. I'm theorizing UHSC Vol. 2 will have an extensive, two years plus trajectory, like Kobikuro's Single Collection but perhaps a relatively underwhelming sales debut (300K+). All these other setbacks can CERTAINLY be forgiven if the latter occurs... |
