that was nino and abia so where was ohno

it was actually nino and ohno who's holding unto sho during the backflip..
ohno was on the same side with that of Jun, he was probably been covered by Sho..hence you didn't see him.. :sweat:

i know this kinda out of topic, but i really hope u guys can help me..

which one is better to buy arashi's online stuff?? cdjapan or yesasia? fyi, i'm from malaysia...

yesasia has no shipping cost, right? how about cdjapan?

thanx in advance for ur help, guys!!

I actually bought my cds from both websites, more on yesasia though since shipping is free. It seems cdjapan is favorite among overseas fans since the cd sale will reflect on sale chart, but for yesasia I think Japanese cd sale is not yet counted on music chart (unlike Korean' CDs sales on yesasia which will be reflected on Korean chart). You might have to try to see which one suits you. Both cdjapan & yesasia delivery quite quick for Bangkok, taking only a couple of days.

Maybe you could try HMV Japan? It's cheaper than cdjapan and the sales are reflected in Oricon chart as well.

Hope this helps ^^NINKI POLLS

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ns/ (for singles)
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/na/ (for albums)

The NINKI ratings are the results of a poll conducted by Oricon indicating interest in an upcoming release. The points from NINKI are calculated in degrees of interest, NOT sales expectations. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. yet it should be NINKI is just a very miniscule heads up about what seems interesting to the 400 people surveyed. having said so, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week. [/list:u]

oh man that show was funny thankz
they crack me up
even if i can't understand hehehe :hehe:

first time i've read something about NINKI..so basically it's more like a ranking of the most anticipated single releases..Arashi's numbers are way high compared to the next ones..:beaten:
with this result, we could expect some good sales ne?? :fingerscrossed:

Reminder: Tonight, Arashi in Music Lovers at NTV. Around 2300hr Japan time.
Recorded on the day after the scandal broke. I think they'll cut all footages that might indicate the slightest mention of it. Ignorance is bliss.
