I know it's not what a lot or even most all of us were expecting but here it is anyway!

The semi-great news is that since Oricon collects all its data on Mondays and certain venues aren't counted during the process, it may be a little higher than even the above. Also, it seems like that previously stated theory of the album being a 'chart-grower' and not a 'show-stopper' may hold some weight to it; if sales continue the way they have been for the past four days, (i.e. 20,000) for the rest of this calendar year, it should easily make the Top 5 of Orcon's 2010 annual ranks! I'm thinking that since she has been MIA for such a long while and the CD buying demographics of Japan have undergone another drastic fundamentalist change is the reason for the non-explosive first week performance. Still by no means a failure in this day and age though; at least it'll outdo TITO and its staying power may accelerate after those concerts make that nationwide breakthrough broadcast. Lets just stay on our toes and continue to make her a trendy Twitter topic in the meantime!

...God I can't wait for YesAsia to make that special delivery on or before the 4th of December!
