The cover of Koda Kumi's most recent single, "stay with me"
The last single before Koda Kumi’s “TRICK” hits stores in January was recently released. Notably, all singles and albums were released a day early due to a Japanese holiday, so we are including the crazy holiday pre-release as part of the first-day sales.. Back on subject: The technical first day sales for Koda Kumi’s pop ballad were just that, bad. The sales closely followed the sales of her previous effort “TABOO”, but even those were better than this.
‘stay with me’ sold 17,968 in it’s inital day along with the 2,254 sales from the crazy holiday pre-release for total sales of 20,222 so far. This is a 6.98% drop for the first-day sales of “TABOO”.
Despite the sales drop, it seems that ‘stay with me’ will maintain the #1 position on the Oricon charts for the week.
