Hadakanbo is only released in 1 edition , unlike multiple versions which applied to Yamapi's past singles

anyway for me what shocked me is that it didn't debuted at #1 on the 1st day , maybe Johnny-san will pull some new tricks & ensure that it will snag #1 at the end of the week ? xD

I don't know , it happened for KAT-TUN's RESCUE so we'll see :P

I noticed it just earlier while checking and it sounds like a really solid album so far! Can't wait <3

It's because it's an AKB subunit that's #1 so I think considering he's doing well xD Especially for only one edition and the album being released next week.
I will definitely check out this album!!

#2 isn't bad! but i sooo thought yamapi would be #1 instead, lol. :P

can't wait to watch him perform on friday!!

i wish there were more previewwwws! :P

sounds interesting though! :)

aw both are cute but CD + DVD takes the cake xD <3

It's pretty rare that LTD editions covers look better than the regular, but that's the case here! So cute

Hadakanbo is at no. 1 today with 15016k in sales. French Kiss is number two with 13k. Hadakanbo's total is 37538 now. If his sales don't drop as much as French Kiss' do, he might actually end up being no. 1 for the week anyway.

aawww it's a blue bench!!! xD

xD yeah Caroline because Aoi means Blue which explained the blue colour going on in the covers x)

I'm excited to see the Aoi Bench PV , I think it's going to be something to look forward to

Yamapi will be performing Hadakanbo later on MUSIC STATION in about 2 hours's time or so :p

Hadakanbo sold another 7,760 copies, totalling at 45,298. It's alright.

The enormous Ninki for Supergood, Superbad gives me some hope that maybe some people DID pre-order it along with the album!

Yamapi is holding a handshake event tomorrow in Tokyo's Sunshine City World Import Mart Building from 9am to 1pm

http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/5991028.html

A copy of Hadakanbo has to be purchased in order to attend this event

See , I told you Johnny-san is doing anyway possible to ensure Hadakanbo gets the #1 spot overall :p but this's the 1st time I came across a Johnny organising something like that

I thought it's the norm for non Johnny's artistes that I listen/support but guess not :P

Wow handshake event?? That's a very idol-y thing to do!!
I haven't watched the tour yet! I need to get on that!

handshake events are quite the norm for non Johnny's artistes that I listen/support but I seldom see it for Johnny's but eh I could be wrong about it though

I don't think autographed sessions are common in Japan but for handshake events , it's quite the norm

Does Yamapi have his own thread? I can't find it... o.O

Anyway, I've finally managed to hear his new singles and re-listen the old ones (I can't wait for his new album, and I love when artists put 2 CDs especially the good and bad ones :laugh ) So...

Daite Señorita - Never liked this single. And I'm scared of the songs titled "señorita" >_> I like the beginning of 指輪 though... too bad the rest of it is awful.
Loveless- I like all songs, even the B-sides, it's probably his best single^^
One in a million he reminds me of Usher in this song and I have no idea why xD (but I like Usher...he's kinda incomparable btw), if you listen to this song more than 5 times, it can get into your head and become catchy, but it's still too funny, I mean, he's singing "One in a miyion..." The B-sides are meh.
はだかんぼー is ok even though I'm not a fan of that sound. Is it jazz or sth like that?

^I think they just post Yamapi news (excuse the pun) and Yamapi discussion in this thread, that way it'll be in one place. Unless I'm mistaken :) The only single I've ever enjoyed of Yamapi's was Daite Senorita...oh how I miss 2006.
