number 12? i thought it can enter top 10 easily...

yeah but you have to look at who Shota's up against this week

ARASHI , Kumi Kuu , DREAMS COME TRUE & etc

Also it doesn't seem to me that's much of a tie in for GOODBYE too & that goes for live performances also

but the B-sides are nice . I was shocked that his duet with JOE is almost 6 mins long X_X

but Shota's Eng dictation's good & his voice flows well with JOE

I forgot how Again sounds like haha but SHUN is the one rapping right ? :laugh

Always look at the competition first : P. Arashi, Ohno, Dreams come True, Koda Kumi, those all basically prevent him from charting higher. In a weaker week he could've made no. 8 or even higher. That's the way it goes with charts, and that's why you should never focus too much on them,.

i hope that the single will go up into the top 10

1st week sales for Goodbye

Thanks Aurelie & lol I know Summer Time will be released digitally but they don't need to cheapo the cover til like that , right ? ~_~

The link didn't work for me -__- Can't wait to hear the new song.. And I like Diggin' on U but I like many songs from him XD

Oh my god what a cheap cover LOL

fan-net lists a new single to be released on October 13.

Nice to hear that he bring out a new single in october ^0^

great , I can't wait for CDJapan to send me an email update about this soon x)

Oh did I forget to mention how much I love GOODBYE? Like I loooove that song. So glad he ditched that ~R&B~ sound and went for the dance sound. I hope the next single follows suit :) But I'm good with anything, I liked this Journey era a LOT better than his Umbrella era.
