KANJANI 8

Hehehehehe

Lots of people said that this is because fans bought more than 1 edition (which is so true). But hey, don't blame us for that. Blame teichiku who seems not going to release a con dvd. Looking that in both LE there're clips from the concert, no wonder we bought it more than 1 version. Not to mention they put kemuri, fuka2, 8 o'clock in it!!

Not going to be over positive. I'm hoping for 300k this week, but...... I'm not that confident. If they can pass 260K I think that's already an awesome selling, more than Kanfuu.

*which makes me wonder, how much is kanfuu first day selling?*

Some people compare it to Arashi too, but honestly, they're practically using the same marketing strategy there. truth/Kaze no Mukou also has 2 LEs and 1 RE, with each LE containing bonus DVD of PV (truth) and PV (Kaze no Mukou e) plus The Making Of each PV. Besides the 2 LEs for K8, the band hasn't released anything in 7 months and Eighters are totally deprived of new releases. And the fact that they're including live performances in the single which sells lots just goes to prove that Kanjani8 is truly a visual seller! :woot:

Btw, has Jpopmusic up yet?

Oh I forgot! KanfuFighting's 1st day sales is around 150k if my memory serves me correctly, and it went on to sell 264k in the first week.

Nope, Jpopmusic still buggy like before.
Ah, 150k in the first day, means aroun 85k oricon index nee.
Ahh, I really do hope for big sale. But it seems some of the fans are upset with torn. Why? *still waiting for my LE*

torn lacks close-up actions, you know like when those 2 were dancing together closely. I think fangirls are just hoping for more touching between the two. And besides Yoko in Hoshii Mono wa, Ryo & Ohkura didn't sing the song live either.

Our OTP is wonderful though! Great vocals, great presence, great singing, great duo complementing each other. Subaru & Yasu are just awesome together! :mrgreen:

yeah for yasuba!!!

Ryokura was lipsync in TORN, but I think there's a small part in torn that they truly sing, only a part where they don;t dance at all. And hoshii no mono wa, what about maru?

Ahhh, btw tia, do you know where I can find those selling ranking? jpopmusic still down. And I'm little bit sad on how bad japanese review on musekinin in oricon site. Ahhh.... yappari, eito is idol, and still sad on how japanese hate idols.

TOP 2 SINGLES:

x->1->1 - Kanjani8 - (108,637 + 44,896) (x1.75) = 268,683
x->2->2 - Kobukuro - (26,416 + 19,250) (x1.75) = 79,916

SID falls to no.5, WaT is up to no.3.

Musekinin Hero has already surpassed KanfuFighting's 1st week's sales at 264k, which is Eito's highest-selling single yet! :woot:

I have no idea how that counting systems works but I must ask what does that (x1,75) mean or where it comes from? :)

Anyway those sales numbers are awesome :D

I'm pretty sure that Maru didn't lip-synch in Hoshii Mono wa. That was a pretty hard song to sing, but it's obvious that Yoko got digital help there. :mrgreen:

Anyway, I'm quite certain that the people in Oricon site does not represent the entire Japan's music industry. I mean, when you have music producers for renowned music shows on TV loving Musekinin Hero, that means that the song is not even half-bad! :hehe:

I think Jpopmusic is already up? I got most of the data pretty much straight from Oricon site though...

It varies between 1.75 to 2.0. They come up with these factors because only about 60% of the stores registered with Oricon send in their sales daily, while the rest report their sales weekly. This is why the factors are needed to estimate the actual sales.

Potato November scans... :woot:

ahaa, now i got it, thank you for explaining :)

x->1->1->1->1->2 - Kanjani8 - (108,637 + 44,896 + 14,683 + 7,714 + 6,888) (x1.75) = 319,932

OR

x->1->1->1->1->2 - Kanjani8 - (108,637 + 44,896 + 14,683 + 7,714 + 6,888) (x1.80) = 329,072
