...and??

new best album? u mean all singles best that was released in 2006? because their new album is a studio album...and didn't both albums got #1?


I finally got my GUILTY cd from the mail...and so sad to see the album was delicated to her 'dearest friend' that passed away. Ayu must of been very close to her friend.

...and?? Nothing :rolleyes

Did she mention what she died from?.....hope I'm not being insensitive for asking that question.

Poor Ayu.....when will the storm leave her alone?! :(

no!no!dun get confused by that cm guys!that cm is trying to say that kobukuro's best album peaked oricon no.1 chart for a very long period of time last year 2007~this album get released last year and sold more than 2million copies(but is still charting on oricon now)...and kobukuro just released a brand new album [5296] which is still on the top10 oricon chart now :)

but ayu's GUILTY album released 1 or 2 weeks later by that kobukuro's new album...so i guess GUILTY will take the no.1 spot :P

huh? ppl told me they released on the same day? :irked

NO LAH!whos that idiolt that told u that!!LOL

kobukuro's new album 5296 get released on 12/19 while GUILTY released on 25/12 or the actual date 1/1/08!!

my source:http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/ xD

kobukuro's album was released 1 week before ayu's...so GUILTY's 1st + 2nd week = kobukuro's 2nd + 3rd week sales.

no...the exact words:

This album is dedicated to a dearest person. May she rest in peace...
1976- 2007

woops...I thought its dearest friend but its person...lol..and the booklet doesn't have special thanks at the end of the credits but instead the dedication.

^ i see, it's quite grieving to see that.

I found it, real or not ?

Seems like Oricon page for subscriptors (paying members) has been updated with daily rankings for the last days. Kobukuro and Ayu are really close.
