Go NO NAME!! Single of the year :heart

That's exactly what Angela Aki needs. Promotion... *sighs*

^ Just listened to her first album, Home... it was great! Loved it.
And the comment about Party Queen. Although i liked it, it just wasnt meant for Japanese audience...
listen to what is popular right now, nothing near as good as Party Queen, lol

Can I ask which dramas???

Also... Go koda! I hope you get a top ten with this remix album!!

considering that kuwata keisuke's new album will outsell uncontrolled, i hope namie at least remains as the 5th best selling album of the year.. thatd be great enough for me =)

Congrats EIGHT RANGER (Kanjani∞) <3 & ouch at Yamapi not getting #1 again for the 2nd time in a row :x

Still want to switch to Warner Music Japan ? :o Pity since I feel Ero is a really great album . Guess the fans have spoken on your distaste in leaving/dumping your group in the lurch :o

thanks for the update! im so happy about namie!! btw, no info about party queen?

Wow, AAA Fairies and Kana all in the top ten.
And Exile! good.

actually i was expecting more from AAA =( it was a summer single, shouldve debuted with better sales =//

Oh wow at Kuwata Keisuke for being #1 for 3 straight weeks . He's unstoppable & I'm not surprised , with him being the frontman of Southern All Stars , he still got it after so long

Too bad he can't top it up with another week being #1 since SMAP's going to get it :P

coolness, number 4 for koda kumi.
I saw smap did about 130K for singles... i wonder how their album will do???

maybe ayumi could beat them for the first week.........

SMAP has already outsold ayumi on the 1st day by almost 2.5 : 1 so I don't think it's possible for ASB to get #1 anymore

Also , GIFT of SMAP is their 20th album overall & being released in 4 editions ... they're not known as (still) the best selling Johnny's of all time for nothing

1) SMAP - GIFT of SMAP ; 85,362
2) ayumi - A SUMMER BEST ; 31,803

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2012-08-07/

OMG Nana Mizuki! 75k is her highest first week and she didn't even really promote! Her singles always have first weeks between 50k and 55k and total sales of 60-95k, this will be her first 100k-seller!!! And here I thought her peak was over.

So she's the 2nd... noooooo :(
I bought ASB specially today to help sales! well, I'll buy 2CD on friday

thanks for the update! im so happy that AAA still selling We can sing a song =)
