no, its not strange for a male to buy a photobook of a male group.
A -straight- male fan actually WROTE a book about Arashi. He even mentions Aiba is the personification of the word KAWAI (cute). Its totally fine Charlie. I got a male Arashi fan friend of mine who bought 1 magazine because Arashi is on the cover. He buys their DVD too. And he is straight (too bad he's taken )
I love reading your post on Arashi Charlie
Sorry, can't help in clarifying the figures. I think it'll be tough to break 600thousand mark within this month for "truth" sales but I'm betting it'll be the best selling single in Japan for year 2008. The sales count for this year will end in November and I don't think other artiste can catch up. Not sure about Southern All Stars sales though.. I think the highest figure for them will be around 500k but "truth" can definitely beat that.
I'm saving my money for their concert DVD (still waiting for DreamAlive). Too bad I can't go to their lives *sigh*. I want their Kokuritsu con DVD now! From the reports its the best concert they had ever performed thus far.

yeah I'm excited to see that concert, and I also can see is bigger than Tokyo Dome
I also want a DAL DVD concert ,I know most of the fans didn't like the concert or the album but I would do anything for see "Flashback", "Gimmick Game" (because Nino sung Niji in AAA 2008 con) , "Once Again" in live
they should perform a song in their weekly shows, kind like SMAPxSMAP, because Arashi have enough songs, and they can perform live (I heard Jun's voice in Green *rip from live DAL concert* and I was
maybe they will sung another songs in the other AAA 2008 concerts, I hope more DAL songs
I think the album in which One Love/Truth/KnoMe are going to be included is going to be their best album, I only hope they don't include in a best album, like hitomi/hero I allways though One could be a better album with hitomi/hero included
another fan was saying, what can they do now, after an awesome 2008
I think an international debut or an all english album
I remember backstreet boys or N'sync released a song in spanish and then their fame increased (of course I'm not comparing them to Arashi, but for a closer idea)
I want an Nino original song for his drama
sorry for the long post, this isn't against rules, right?
I have another idea for their new album "The Gathering Storm" or an album called "Arashi" "Just Arashi" or "Arashi Around Asia" (I allways wanted an album of theirs called Arashi Around Asia)

today, I saw the Arashi poster again, in my university's library, I'm happy to see that there are lot of Arashi fans ...the poster said join us for Jun's birthday, so it must be a recent poster, hhehehe, I'm bad for birthdays

daily ranking update
Truth #3
One Love #20
both in TOP 20 (yesterday "Truth" was #2 and OL wasn't charting)
happy to see both in top 20, a bit scared because tomorrow with the new releases, but I'm sure we will be seeing Truth until October or November
the Arashi people starting to talk about next year greatness, some believe a best album will include some concert
remember Arashi Around Asia (the first one) included the Taiwan concert in the limited edtition
start saving, what if kokuritsu concert is included in Arashi 1999->2009 Limited Edition
start saving money!!
thank god for the credit cards

Just because it's out of the TOP20 doesn't mean it stopped charting~ it just dropped out of the TOP20 XDDD

eh??NEWS' new song is horrible??actually it's a catchy and good cute song..(a lot of people actually love the song since it means a lot because they are dedicating it to the people they love including their FANS who are having their birthday..)and since it's title is 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' i think it is impossible to be the theme for ryuseii no kizuna... ne??
well, im so excited for their drama...
and excited for dal con!!yatta!!! _________________
