^ Hahaha no way she's a member of Foxxi! XDDD I've checked their profiles and they don't match up with Sho's sister (no one is called Mai, no one is from Tokyo and they're a bit older than her).
Plus I think if she ever debuted as a singer or something the press would report she's a JE boy's sister =P

LOL yeah. but one of them seriously looks like Sho. it'd be hot with those two paired up. maybe she changed her stage name to YU-A so that no one recognizes her as Sho's sister

^ It could be, but I still think that's not Sho's sister, LOL! And YU-A's from Hokkaido! XDD

Just checked out some YU-A pics and her face is quite thin~ Mai's face is more... round? (is that the word? XD), exactly like Sho's~


It's not 100% official, but there's a Japanese news site that reports Arashi will be releasing a new album on late April for their dome tour~

Step and Go's first week sales: 324k (Oricon Link)
It basically says that SaG is their 10th single to be #1 consecutively and their 17th overall and that it's been 7 years and 11 months since any of their singles broke the 300k mark on the first week (the last one was Sunrise Nippon with 304k back in April 2000).

26 Feb 2008, 09:39 #24648
I must agree.. i don't think one of those girls is Sho's sister... aren't they a bit old? well they look so... And if she was a member there surely be someone that will conect them and tell to everyone she is Sho's sister then everyone will know that.... tha media is so powerfull many of the times!!... we would already know if it was true.... i think

and well i couldn't tell if one girl is Sho's sister just by looking at them... i've never seen Sho's siter before !! XD

These numbers are taken from Oricon, they're totally reliable ^^ As far as I know only CDJapan and Amazon count towards Oricon, the rest don't.



HMV also counts towards the Oricon, but unfortunately YesAsia doesn't.

i won't be receiving my "step and go" until a month after its release day because yesasia despite of being near my country, takes a month to deliver my orders.


This is very strange, I always get my orders from Yesasia in a couple of days only - 4 days maximum.

I am thinking of going to the concerts in Tokyo Dome & Fukuoka Dome ... well... if I get the tickets :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :rofl: :hehe:

i think the problem is our custom, they are just one bad company! i have no luck transacting with them.

hey, hikaru, i'm not good with predicting numbers but do you think "step and go" would reach 400K?
26 Feb 2008, 22:04 #24659
324,223 is the official number for the week, everything else is just estimated ;)

There's no doubt SaG will hit 400k. The question is rather, will it need two or three weeks for it.
26 Feb 2008, 22:09 #24660
^ I know those numbers are estimated, that's why I posted the real Oricon numbers after those. The total sales I calculated are the "real" first week sales plus today's (well, yesterday's) sales.
Anyways, even if they're just for estimation they're almost the same, the multiplier was practically spot-on.

I don't think they're a bad company~ So far they haven't given me any problems~ I remember some guy that said his orders take one month to arrive (he lived in my country) with the free shipping but for me it arrives two mondays after it was shipped (except one case where some DVD arrived just 5 days after it was released =P)

I'm not good at predicting either (I always fail a it XDD) but you can compare it to LSS and Happiness if you want ^^
LSS's first week was 204k and total sales are ~430k. Happiness's first week was 191k and total sales are ~272k. I personally think SaG will sell at least 100k more from now on (not just this week - I expect it to be around 30-35k) and hopefully it'll outsell LSS ^^

Okay, I'm off to nap~ XDD Work's very stressing!
