^ I'm sure it will, don't worry about that (o^-')b Next week it'll outsell SUNRISE NIPPON (405,680 - just 12k to go!) and I'm predicting that in three weeks or so it'll outsell Love so sweet (431,949) and become their second best selling ever 8DDD


I'm just hoping truth / KnMe sells as much as SaG and One Love, 'cause I've listened to it and it's for me their best A-side since Sakura Sake <33

they are going to have 3 singles of their 9th original album released, maybe they wanna release a new album for their second asian tour, that could be possible right?

I don't want a best album for them the next year, any chance for them to release their 9th original album this year and then in 2009 their BEST ALBUM, and what could be the big surprise??, maybe a WORLD TOUR for next year, or a song fully in english, from what I heard in their songs, their english is improving, maybe they want to take a chance in the american market and release an english single the next year

I would love to buy their 2nd asian tour in DVD, that concert in the national stadium seems amasing, I want a DVD for that one too

what could be their big surprise... maybe their own produced album, a solo album for each one, it will be wise for start saving money right now, for the 10 anniversary thing

because KnMe isn't available for purchase online, I'm still hurt because I couldn't bought their AAA Thailand-Taiwan-Korea Limited Edition with the extra DVD for the Taiwan Arena concert,

Hikaru podrias ponernos la lista de los singles mas vendidos del a&ntilde;o, quiero ver a quienes Arashi va a derrotar y cuanto le falta para tener sus 3 singles en los 3 primeros puestos

cual crees que va a ser la sorpresa de su decimo aniversario?
crees que saquen un noveno album antes de lo planeado?
tendran un 4to single lansado para finales del a&ntilde;o?

my favorite is KnMe from the new single, I heard SMILE is going to be used for their new CM

rumor, not 100% true

the songs they're going to sing in Shonen Club Premium
-One Love
-My Answer
-Move your body

its too soon for them to sing Truth/KnMe

the stage report its also ARASHI :D

any word for the theme song of "Yatter-Man", I seen in a videogame magasine that YatterMan is going to be included in a fighting game called "tatsunoko VS Capcom", it will use Sho's voice?

so many things to thing, I want their own karaoke/Guitar Hero game, an own Arashi musical game, that would be awesome
or a concert in Hawaii

dreamin' ----- ARASHI 2009 - ANIVERSARY CONCERT IN HAWAII
++Arashi Around America+++

just dreamin', :applaud: for One Love sales, the single really deserve it the sucess, but the Hana yori dango fandom also help, I don't want the HYD/Arashi colaboration to end,
maybe the huge increase in their sales is because the HYD fandom are now Arashi fans :D

17 Jul 2008, 06:42 #25145
@ Charlie~

I have no clue on what will they do for their 10th anniversary~ To be honest, I thought they would release a best album this year after realizing how fast did they release Dream"A"live~ XDD I'd say they'll release another single by the end of the year to promote it during those X'mas / New Year SP TV shows (MS Super Live, FNS, Best Artists...), then a brand new original album in spring and hopefully a best album in fall~ Considering they're at their peak and the biggest act in JE right now (not saying they're better than the rest, just saying they're the ones getting more spotlight and stuff) I'm sure they'll do something special next year, but we'll have to wait to know! 8DDD

And also forget about Arashi getting the first 3 spots of the singles yearly ranking because that's not gonna happen XDDD It never happened and it won't happen now~ They're pretty high there, but they're not selling enough to grab the #1 yearly~ Here's the list of the TOP10 so far:

(# - Total sales - Last week sales - Single name / Artist - Release date)

*1 *,444,466 **1,441 Soba ni Iru ne / Thelma Aoyama feat.Soulja 08/01/23
*2 *,442,362 **1,265 DON'T U EVER STOP / KAT-TUN 08/05/14
*3 *,421,902 ***,*** LIPS / KAT-TUN 08/02/06
*4 *,415,852 **9,223 Shuuchishin / Shuuchishin 08/04/09
*5 *,386,668 *17,752 Kiseki / GReeeeN 08/05/28
*6 *,374,449 ***,*** Step and Go / Arashi 08/02/20
*7 *,365,989 *52,013 One Love / Arashi 08/06/25
*8 *,308,941 **1,598 Waremokou / Masato Sugimoto 07/02/21 (total: 399,177)
*9 *,291,447 ***,*** Taiyou no Namida / NEWS 08/02/27
10 *,290,406 **1,155 60s70s80s / Namie Amuro 08/03/12

Note: this is the TOP10 for last week, the updated list should be out soon. As you can see, One Love's third week (26,749) is not counted. If we add last week's sales it would look like this:

*4 *,421,703 **5,851 Shuuchishin / Shuuchishin 08/04/09
*5 *,400,242 *13,574 Kiseki / GReeeeN 08/05/28
*6 *,392,738 *26,749 One Love / Arashi 08/06/25
*7 *,374,449 ***,*** Step and Go / Arashi 08/02/20 [/list:u]
One Love can surpass Kiseki, depending on their longevity, both Arashi's and GReeeeN's. Johnny's sales tend to nosedive after the first week and, although One Love is hanging in there, their sales will drop a lot soon. As you can see, GReeeeN only had a 4k drop last week and Arashi 26k. After a year and a half checking all the charts and stuff I'm getting better at understanding them and predicting, but we'll have to wait to see how it goes~ ^^

Sorry for the long post 8DDDD

whoaaa.. thanks Hikaru-san and Charlie for the numbers, predictions and infos :mrgreen:

I'm hoping they'll release a Best Of album by the end of the year and brand new album next spring though... but we also might get another new single since there were rumors of more drama starring our Arashi members and CMs by them thus possible tie-ins. Not forgetting "Green" too and its a lovely song (but i do feel like its not a single material though.. maybe B-side)

XDDD hoping for top 3 single spot seems impossible yes? We just might get it with Truth/KnMe but its already more than half a year release.
I LOVE TRUTH
this is not the first angsty song by Arashi but it sure feels very different from the happy-happy songs they gave us in recent years. I happen to enjoy their angsty sounding songs more like Carry On and Once Again. The instrumental rock+classic part in the middle is fantastic and their voices fits the song well. The layered verses reminds me of Pikanchi Double but faster & rockier. Subarashii
I'm hoping we'll get a kick-a** PV with this :fingerscrossed:

Kaze no Mukou E is great too. My favourite part is the "oooooyeah~" by Nino right at the beginning. Simple, inspiring and lovely.

I have to say this is their best single so far :thumbsup:

totally love Truth!! thank you for the romanized lyrics!! i can now sing along with it.. :hehe: :victory:
and just like tofuuuuu, be hoping for a super duper kakkoi PV!! i wonder when they'll release it..here's me getting impatient.. :beaten:
17 Jul 2008, 18:29 #25148
at least we hope for their 3 singles to be in the top 10 for this year!!
Love so sweet at #4 at yearly ranking make us so proud!!! and I see all the singles in the first place is at least +400, so if Truth/KnMe reach more than 500000 or 600000 in their first weeks they will have the #1 for them
KinKi Kids is releasing a new single after Arashi week, but I think Arashi can surpass them, I'm so happy I saw "One Love" at #10 in the daily ranking today, our One Love still hanging there!!!, hang in there sweetie!!!

by the way SMILE, the c/w in the regular edition of Truth/KnMe is the theme of tongari corn CM, but if we see a drama theme song or another tie-up for the boys in this year surely we will have another single, I'm so curious about their next original album, maybe for January 2009 :hehe:

I'm sorry for being so busy before, but I haven't heard Green yet, anyone have a mp3 sample of Green??

its 100% confirmed!!

they are performing

One Love
Move Your Body
My Answer

in shonen club premium this week!!!

so excited about Move Your Body and My Answer performance!, I hope the full song because Dream A Live songs are between 4~3 minutes

any idea for the title of Arashi best album name??

ARASHI 2005->2009, STORMY TRACKS from ARASHI

I still hope for the official release of "sketch" , "top secret", "konseki" , "yokase" (Yokase even have a PV as multiangle)

I want the DVD for their national stadium concert, as part of their 5 DVD BOX "ARASHI AROUND ASIA ~ CONQUERING THE WORLD STORMY DESTRUCTIVE WORLD TOUR&middot;&middot;

I like long titles
and finally a japanese title for this single, I hope for the next single to have a full japanese title

Happiness and Step&Go went to #1 in the monthly charts, so we hope they continue this tradition,

surely Truth/KnMe will go to #1 weekly, but I want them to have around 350,000 - 500,000 CDs sold in the first month :D

for the charts experts?, is One Love the longest single in the charts, I mean the single with more weeks/life in the charts, I wanna know

Arashi is my drug

Arashi rules!!!!!!!

:shamefulcry: p.s: I'm not in drugs
long live to Arashi and the long posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
17 Jul 2008, 19:17 #25149
i can totally feel the excitement in your posts..XD
it's okay!! Arashi's already a drug for us!! :hehe: :beaten:

Both Love so sweet and One Love (and well, WISH too, but didn't do that well) have had Arashi's strongest tie-ins ever and they ended up selling between 400k and 450k (I don't think One Love will reach the 500k mark), so don't expect truth / KnMe sell 500k~ LSS and OL had the huge HYD tie-in and truth / KnMe is a double A-side with a normal drama and Olympics tie-in, my prediction is that it will sell like 400k like their previous singles.
Arashi will totally outsell KinKi Kids single in total sales (I'm not sure about their recent singles, but since 2005 'til 2007 they've been selling ~320k total max), but they have enough power to get the #1 for the week, so Arashi won't be topping the charts for two straight weeks.

Charlie wrote:for the charts experts?, is One Love the longest single in the charts, I mean the single with more weeks/life in the charts, I wanna know

One Love was released less than a month ago! Do you really expect that to be the longest single in the charts? XDDD There are singles that have been charting (to chart = be in the TOP100, although as of Decemcer 2002 the Oricon single charts were extended to a TOP200) for more than 100 weeks! To name a few: SMAP's Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana, Rimi Natsukawa's Nada Sou Sou, Ayaka Hirahara's Jupiter, Ai Otsuka's Sakuranbo... This site hasn't updated for half a year, but according to it, the Arashi single that charted the longest is Hadashi No Mirai / Kotoba Yori Taisesu na Mono (17 weeks). I'll try to find more info about it, I believe right now Love so sweet is their longest charting single~

Btw, like I mentioned before, the yearly charts were updated today ^^ Here's how the TOP10 looks like (well, TOP11, 'cause Shuuchishin's latest single could be a threat for Arashi if they keep selling! They've gotten really popular, and I personally love them! <33)*1 *,446,101 **1,635 Soba ni Iru ne / Thelma Aoyama feat.Soulja 08/01/23

That's all for today XDD I'll reply again whenever you post again! =DDD

Btw, One Love is still going strong in the daily charts, it hasn't left the TOP10 yet! It fell to #10 with all the new releases, but they'll climb back to the TOP5 soon!

Nino with Nishikido Ryo, autumn drama, the same slot as Maou.
Hopefully its true and not remain as just a rumor.


Ryo again? I hope it's not so. One is enough for me this year, he has been too overexposure with 2 groups and more singles than anybody else in the jimusho, and now 2 dramas in one year? I hope they get someone else in JE, someone who hasn't had a drama yet this year...

Of course, I hope the Nino one is true though!
18 Jul 2008, 10:54 #25154
I'm not keen on Nino/Ryo too. They do look the same and their personality seems the same too. There's a lack of Yin/Yang here. The Ryo role is suppose to be the little brother that wear lots of costumes to swindle people.. Kurosagi-like. I can hear the PiRyo fans squeeling about this :sweat: :sweat: :sweat:
and is the other sibling Toda Erika? My online translator can't decipher that.

yeah, it's toda erika indeed..

on the other hand, hopefully that's not just a rumor!! im totally okay with Nino, not so sure about Ryo even though im also a fan of his.. :beaten:
can't they just cast a non JE instead?? :bonk:
18 Jul 2008, 11:34 #25156
if its Toda Erika as Nino & Ryo (slutty) LITTLE sister? :shocked:
i hope they recast someone else.. not that i have any problem with Toda but i'm hoping for someone that look more innocent yet have the potential to be a seductress AND look smaller than the already small looking JE boyz :hehe:

Aoi Yuu maybe can pull it off but i rather her not to be Nino's slutty sister. A guest appearence maybe? It might do Maki good if she's casted in a seductress role. I'm just hoping for some girl that look smaller than the guys :hehe: Toda looks a bit too mature and taller don't you think?

hehehe..i agree, Aoi Yuu's too innocent looking.. :sweat: it's not that she's not up for the role but maybe because i don't want to see her in a slutty role.. :beaten: Maki will do good too..as for Toda, she does look mature for the role..who else is possible?? gah!! can't think of any other ones!! :bonk:

:fingerscrossed: I hope the Nino drama rumor is Truth (new drama for Nino = new drama for Arashi ** or even a solo single for Nino ** with konseki as c/w)

I will be very happy if Arashi have their 3 singles in the top 10 (I want their 3 singles in the top 5), I've been listening to Truth again and again, and the TRUTH, Truth deserve to be the #1 spot for this year

again a Nino drama will make me happy

p.s: I search in Imeem for Green and not lucky, I was lasy to search in all those pages, maybe in vox I'll find it

:banghead: Arashi babysitting again? in which show is that VS Arashi or himitsu?, they have so many TV shows, I still want to find this vids

Nino + Ronaldihno
Arashi + Paris Hilton (nama arashi)

if anyone have those 2 shows I'm looking for, I'll be happy

anyone knows of a website where I can find Matsujun's pics with his short hair, and pics with his drama's looks
