OMG.. all JE dominated..hahha
DUEs 1st week sales very high..hahha

i hope sometimes they can hit 1 million copies

omg that's crazy :O . All dominated by JE boybands !

I'm sure JE will reward these 3 bands handsomely with a fat pay cheque at the end of the month or probably year

^I read that they don't get much money overall. Not as much as other idols would in their case. So I'm not sure if they'd reward them something extra. Maybe put more money into future releases, because that could gain JE even more money.

maybe not in terms of monetary issues but other things like a vacation or a holiday ?

a dream car or house wouldn't hurt too right ? :laugh

Have you guys seen the new pirates-themed logo at Johnnys-net? It's SO CUTE.

...the crown is on the A. LOL. i just found that funny. i'm weird, i know.
but it is adorable! :heart it's definitely better than the cartoon KAT-TUN II You logo.

in response to paychecks: i don't think they're "rich", but i'm pretty sure SMAP & a couple other senpai Johnny's like Nagase Tomoya get paid a lot! i know one Shounentai guy gives money on New Year's to all the younger generations of Johnny's.

maybe it pays to be in Johnny's for the long run? because i know for sure that Yokoyama & other K8 members had to work outside of Johnny's in order to support themselves and their families (that's why Yoko never went to/or graduated High School). that kinda supports the fact that they don't get paid well at all.

idk it all works out, i'm just speculating. XD

cool covers! we need bigger versions though, lol.

MUHAHAHAHAHA. my copies came today. you know, ALL 3 LIMITED EDITIONS?
not to rub it all your faces or anything. :innocent

sorry, i'm having a fangirl moment. LOL.

LOL. sorry~
i guess i won't take a picture of my LIMITED EDITION KAT-TUN III -Queen of Pirates- then, the version with SIX SENSES when i get it? :laugh

sadly, there are no pictures. just lyrics! :(

wow those cd's look really nice ^^
i didn't order them xD waiting for Queens of Pirates ^^

Here is a preview of one of the new songs, OUR STORY　～プロローグ～

i think it sounds really good :)

i kinda photoshopped the CDs, LOL. i'm in love with Selective Coloring. :laugh

"OUR STORY ~Prologue~" IS SO SO SO GOOD. it sounds cute! GUH, I WANT THIS ALBUM NAO.

did anyone else hear "SHOT!" from their Shounen Club Premium performance? i like that song too. :) i was pretty impressed w/ T-TUN's solos in the song!

Ahh Junno's solo song is so cute. I LOVE HIM :cry

i LOOOVVVVE "Natsu no Basho"! :luv2
it's definitely a nice, perfect song for summer!
i just noticed a little while ago Micro of Def Tech wrote/composed it. he seems to get famous people to write his solos. like Anchang of SEXMACHINEGUNS wrote Samurai Love Attack. :3

he looked so cute performing it on Music Station. i didn't recognize him at first!

^ OMG THE MS PERFORMANCE.
His clothes were so effing adorable.

Sort of late to be talking about the rest of the members solo songs but I was surprised by the fact that I liked all of their songs. I wasn't to impressed with their solo efforts on cartoon KAT-TUN II You (only really liked Junno/Koki's songs!) but every member blew me away this time :yes

Thanks for the links! ^^

yay i've been listening to PARASITE like crazy the last couple of days lol ^^

Does anyone have a link to the translated lyrics of Ai no Hana? :)
