Better Late Than Never: Goods, Deals, and Stats

Sunday, June 28th, 2009

I’ve been pretty busy for the past month and on an internet-free vaca­tion for the last week, so please excuse the tar­di­ness of this announcement.

First off, Yesa­sia recently listed mer­chan­dise from Ayu’s lat­est tour for sale on its web­site. Over­seas fans can now order every­thing from offi­cial travel mugs to totes with the Ayu brand.

Not to be out­done, CDJapan has kicked off its annual sum­mer sale, offer­ing marked-down Ayu DVDs and CDs. Not only that, but any pur­chase over 5000 yen will get a free poster!

Finally, Ori­con has issued its quar­terly update for 2009’s best sell­ers thus far. Ayu’s most recent stu­dio album NEXT LEVEL is already at #7 on the album charts, while sin­gles GREEN/Days (from last year) and RULE/Sparkle chart at 11 and 17 respec­tively. This does not include dig­i­tal sales (you may recall “Days” was a huge seller independently).
