Arashi

I've just uploaded the whole truth/KnMe single on jpopsuki [LINK]

My copy of "truth" is on the way :mrgreen:
Hope they'll have a really nice first day sales figure.

^ Mine are too! And yeah, this is a reaaaaally nice first day sales!

x->1 - ARASHI - 119,227 (x1.75) = 208,647

For those who like to compare:

STEP AND GO
x->1 - Arashi - 107,689 (x1.75) = 188,456

ONE LOVE

:dancing: :mrgreen: :applaud:
S&G got great first day sales but One Love got HYDF to boost its overall sales so as for total copies sold, One Love beats S&G.
However, quoting fybabe: "moral of the story is: people pay for good music". Got to agree but they would also pay for 2minutes of Domyouji whispering sweet loves :hehe:
So happy for Truth! Definitely best single by them so far.
Other singles that's great imo is Kitto Daijoubu & Sakura Sake based on the whole package of great PV & amazing B side songs.

The gap was just for first day sales... which was quite surprising because S&G got no tie-ins and actually not much promotions I think. One Love still out sells S&G now with constant sales figures (like WD predicted) and was helped by HYDF edition. I like OL too but prefer S&G because I love the dancing, the PV and the song is fresher. Actually I personally don't care which song sells better as long as they are selling well right?

The most LOLtastic sportscasting I have ever seen. Sho was at his most retarded fanboy mode. :rofl:
He was really proud of his Usain Bolt imitation :hehe:

Truth selling like hot cakes! We might get thousands more during the weekend. Omedetou ARASHI! :mrgreen:

at frist when he was rejected i feel sorry sho :puppydog:
but he was so happy when he won and when finally answer the question :dancing: i agree totally BOLT!!!!!!!!!!!! :hehe:

if I'm not wrong all their single are in the yearly top 10 right?

I'm going to post about OL (One Loves) ranking :D

daily ranking
#1 - Truth/Kase no Mukou e (of course!)
#9 - One Love

:rofl: I still remember no one believe me when I said months ago that Arashi could be the #1 in the yearly rankings, hehehe

my next prediction: (playing Truth music in the background*the music they put when the boys dance to Truth)

One Love reaching 500,000 :D
just wait and see

:shamefulcry: I prefer Truth/KnoMukou e , but still OL is a proud for all of us

:shocked: I will be shocked if Nino's new drama features an Arashi song (the management must be thinkin' right now..

guy1: we must produce a new song for Arashi, all their singles in this year went straight to the top of the top

guy2: what if the single doesn't sell well
guy1: mmm... have you heard about credit cards and pre-order
guy2: you're right... hey YOU... an emergency meeting,

in the emergency meeting

guy2: call all the big ones, we're going to produce the greatest Arashi song ever!!, they turn every song in gold

-----------
based on a true story

:D hope you liked my mini arashi story

I realised since 2007 we started talking about yearly rankings, I hope the guys don't feel too much stress

I remember Ohno said "2009 is going to be a great year, but let's make a good 2008"

:bow: God bless Arashi

I have ideas for their new album name

FAITH (because the Faith Arashi fans have for Arashi)
God Bless Arashi (God Bless America sounds good, but God Bless Arashi sounds even better)

sorry for my long post, I'm very happy (something great happened today)

I think their next album is going to be as Aerosmith's Get a Grip album, because How's it going? was kinda similar to Permanent Vacation/Toys in the attic

to Hikaru: crees que Truth ya va a estar en el top 10 del año, o tenemos que esperar a las ventas semanales??, crees que Arashi tendra el single #1 del año?, no veo a otro fuerte competidor para ellos, si es asi estaria felis de que tengan su primer #1 del año antes de su decimo aniversario, pero merecen tener mas exito en su decimo aniversario, ya veremos como pasa, espero podamos seguir hablando del desempeño de Arashi en los rankings del año (oricon yearly ranking) en los siguientes años

thanks for listening to me(reading to be exact)
I allways though Arashi was worthy of #1 of the year, no one believe me, but it seems their time is NOW!! hahahaha (evil laugh)

Just posting the daily figures 'cause I'm in a rush right now! Charlie, I'll reply your post once I'm back at night XDDD Btw, there's still 4 months till the year is over, the top spot in the yearly charts is not 100% secured 8DDD

x->1->1->1->1 - ARASHI - 119,227 + 66,067 + 28,046 + 16,587 (x1.75) = 402,372

I think BOTH One Love AND Truth can hit the 500,000 mark!

A 53yr old writer, columnist and a HUGE Arashi fan, Takeuchi Yoshikazu is releasing a book [The Reason Why I Love Arashi] :mrgreen:
the date of the release is on 22nd of August. He has been blogging about Arashi for awhile now and I've read wonderful entries by him with the help of translations by Huxley@vox. If only I can read Japanese, I might actually buy that book!
Here's his blog: http://takeuchi2.otaden.jp/
I'm especially touched reading his "beyond the wind" entry with everyone comments supporting Arashi
Fanman are amazing.
