Congrats to Kanjani∞ for staying at #1 for the 2nd straight week & also to Kumi Kuu <3

Great to see HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA still in the top 5 , HALLOWEEN PARTY 2012 has definitely helped to keep sales afloat . Need HYDE to release a DVD for this instead of some stupid over the top ridiculously priced dumb book

i cant believe oh well Carly Rae Jepsen is doing... and now Taylor in the top 5.. coolness.
Koda is is amazing, like always. =)
And cant wait for my ayumi to be up there in the coming weeks!

I'm not really surprised ayumi's not going to get #1 next week since JUJU is putting out 2 best albums

LOVE might probably chart lower than BENI's COVERS 2 since COVERS was an unexpected huge success but you never know

Also yay for flumpool xD Answer is awesome *__*

wow Ninki lol Go JUJU.

I don't think BENI's covers 2 will outchart LOVE...It might outsell it though. COVERS had amazing staying power even though it had a lower first week...

but you never know. Maybe it'll change this time!

...I love ayu...but if beni outcharted her. omg. amazingness for my beni :heart

Is Juju really that popular? I borrowed one of her CDs from the japan library and I was so underwhelmed.

^ her last album did rather well in sales...
YOU - 352K (total) and was number 1 for two weeks in a row... so...
her first week was only 111K... if this was last year I would say there is some real competition, but looking at Party Queen... I think JUJU will win the battle.

She also had a cover album last year that did about 117K and a live album that did around 20K in august of this year...

Go Kisumai go !

oh coolness!
DAISHI DANCE, 2PM, and Fairies.. so many good releases coming up!

I may check out that Maaya sakamoto collection...

I can't believe kalafina moved so many more copies than Kyary. Kyary promoted the hell out of this single, kalafina just...exist and don't even do a very popular genre.

No surprises that my beloved Sayu(ri Sugawara) is outside the top ten, but hopefully she can perform well - and try to even break the top 30! Also not surprised about Kisumai...but KARA? Whoa there - I thought at first Johnny's would sweep this, but KARA's NINKI higher than one Sexy Zone? Hmm...

But I'll tell you what - anything can happen... It can be UNPREDICTABLE...

Jesus. Well, clearly Arashi's popularity is no 'phase.' Otherwise this phase has lasted for the last 6 years.

lol 1st week sales of Popcorn were about 60,000 - 70,000 higher than what Beautiful World obtained in the 1st week which doesn't surprise me as everything on Popcorn sounds much better if not more well put together

And who can't say no to their best single they put out this year in the form of Face Down ? :D

Who said they were a phase?!

Congrats to BENI for having 2 covers albums in the top 30 & COVERS has already crossed the 200K mark <3

So wonderful to see HALLOWEEN JUNKY ORCHESTRA back in the top 10 as it was #14 last week :D while flumpool did well with Answer which's a great single

Congrats to Hey!Say!JUMP as well :P

Yay for LOVE !!!!
Go Ayu!!!

That's my girl beni :heart

Man!
I can't believe Carly Rae Jepsen, Che’Nelle, and BENI are all still charting...
looks like those albums are here to stay for some time!

Hopefully LOVE can be this strong... (although I see it dropping rather quickly!)

Unfortunately LOVE is gonna drop...
Oh well.
I wish people like Angela Aki sold 65k...

Not very interesting going on for albums next week to me but wow , singles wise that's different :O

SID is so going to be thrashed big time by girls who knew xD but I hope VIP can sell OK , it has 4 editions after all so :dead2

Forget about Johnny's next week - it's going to be GIRL POWER... I mean, we've got a classic in the albums race - Yumi Matsutoya - but the singles are going to be a battle of idols - AKB48's Mayuyu vs. Momoclo vs. Korea's SNSD... The fight is going to be interesting - we'll just have to wait and see...

wow come on miliyah and SNSD~!

I don't think snsd will get more than momoclo though. But I'm sooo hoping.

akb girl can gtfo! lol

I almost forgot SPYAIR is releasing WENDY ~It's You~ next week lmao but don't think it's able to get top 10 even though it's a great song . Sad that it's the last single that will feature DJ ENZEL before he leaves next month :(

Who knew that Matchy-san is up against lots of girls next week LOL but he can't & don't sell well even though he's a dai sempai in Johnny's but he doesn't release music often himself so :o

Matchy was awesome on KAYOU-KYOKU three days ago. He was doing medley of his old hits and then suddenly invited Nakai-san of SMAP up to stage to sing alongside him.
And we all know how "lousy" singer Nakai is, haha. :D

go Fairies!!
another top 10! Cant wait for the album!
although with all their singles I kinda got the album minus 2 or 3 tracks, lol.

No surprise a Johnny's "double chart sweep" again, with history in the making for both Kisumai and Sexy Zone. Now the next competition is three idol artists (Momoiro, AKB48's Mayuyu, Korea's SNSD) fighting for the top spot in the singles race...

===

Both Mr.Children & THE MONSTERS are sure log in to get #1 for each chart , I don't see why they will not be able to do that

But anyway , rooting for Shota Shimizu , Hilcrhyme & Kobukuro personally yay

oh my girls~ SNSD :syesyes


and ugh, I wonder how flower power is doing against momoclo.

^It's like Mayuyu (65,224) > Generations (55,972) > Momoclo (54,848)
and then SNSD have been 4, 5, 6 with 13,090 according to generasia. Not too good :/
But the album is out right after so.

good luck to UVERworld!! =D

wow, Ayumi doesnt have any staying power anymore...
the rest of the people, pretty good.

ouch for my SNSD...but yey for BENI :heart Her cover albums do so well~ Has she passed Ayu now lol Never thought I'd see the day.

And good job for Miliyah~

Yes COVERS 2's sales already suppressed that of LOVE

COVERS 2 total sales so far - 93,962
LOVE total sales so far - 82,924

Oh Ayu
Getting beat by BENI is just...
Sad.

But I don't blame the Japanese for not buying the cd.
They're smart and they know that its not a mini album.
Just a single.

^ it really shouldnt make a difference if its a single or a mini or album...
if people wanted to buy it they would of.

^ that's true

but getting beat by BENI is still sad, especially when you're a legend.

^ True, but ayumi has done her time, she is queen and most likely will always be queen.

Im glad BENI is selling well, its taken her some time (and might I add its not even original music?) but she is finally selling good.

Honestly it's a good thing Koda Kumi pushed back Koishikute to 26th Dec cos from the artistes releasing next week , she's going to get whacked very very badly should she didn't postponed the release date

Let alone for albums too . lol 3 best albums getting released next week , damn

as i thought, the BESTs are going to eat her alive.

It's already known from the beginning that there would be no way for again to get #1 with both EXILE & YUI releasing their best albums on the same week

There's still a chance for A CLASSICAL to be able to get #1 on 8th Jan that week . At least she's not releasing a single on that week , as the 1st 2 weeks of Jan 2013 , both weeks are already locked in for #'1 , singles wise

^ do you know the albums? Because an ayumi album getting a number 1 would be hard, but a remix album?

Just to add on what I want to say about BENI , it's not as though she's an overnight sensation since she debuted as a solo artist in 2004

Way back when she was still in avex , success for her was only so-so . Only after she transferred to Universal , change her music sound/direction then things slowly but surely began to pick up for her

Only this year , I can say that she attained the most commerical success with the 2 covers albums she has released & to think when she 1st released COVERS , I really thought it was going to fail big time

I literally am eating my words & recalling them back like now , looking back at this

I remembered only 1 remix album of hers reached #1 but I'm not sure it's which one -_-

And from what I'm seeing so far , 1st 2 weeks of Jan 2013 , albums wise , no major competition are releasing but for singles , it's a different thing

The following 2 artistes which I'm most certain they will be able to get #1 which includes

9th Jan 2013 that week - Hey ! Say ! JUMP's Yamada Ryosuke's debut solo single Mystery Virgin

16th Jan 2013 that week - TOHOSHINKI's Catch Me -If you wanna-

^ "Super Eurobeat Presents Ayu-ro Mix 2" was the only ayu remix cd to go no1.

@Karen: I didn't have high hopes for COVERS either...but then, I never had high hopes for any of her albums. She releases them so...oddly...no promotion, her style, etc.

But I'm glad they've gotten recognition. My favorite thing about BENI, and imho her best feature, is her voice. So. Why not have success off that.


and wow @ all the best albums. Even BIG BANG. She has no chance at all.

I didn't even think about Kuu's single being pushed back either lol But you're so right, she would have been slain.

The way she's being marketed back when she was in still in avex & now Universal is very different

Not sure why but at least after being 8 years in the business , she's finally getting the most commerical success she has gotten in recent years

And yeah I do keep note on what new releases will be out in due time that's why I know Kumi's Koishikute has been pushed back from 5th to 26th Dec :P

It's really nice as a Beni fan, honestly~

And I know you do, and after these years of knowing you, I'm still very appreciative of your knowledge :shughug

BENI has paid her dues that's for sure & I only became a fan of her some 3 years ago when I saw her Kiss Kiss Kiss PV in a hotel room when I was in Macau

It's always nice everytime you support an artiste & you watch them grow musically & then some , you can't help but feel some sorta attachment towards him/her

And it's a nice compliment you've said about me which I must thank you for that !

poor ayu....

I'm so rooting for flumpool & NEWS <3

Ahhhh.... Mizuki Nana, coolness
and single wise, U-KISS... nice week for me!

No #1 for Nana? :( I think it's her highest Ninki yet though...I think she was at 80-something for her last album.

What a weird music week.

07 25.70 Shibasaki Kou - Lyrical＊Wonder

Tough week :/

No surprise in the singles, but if Kim Hyun Joong does not do well, it could be wide-open for #1 in the album race...

good luck to bruno mars, his album is real good!!

Next week's off week for me xD

Not really. Nana Mizuki would almost surely grab #1 then since her fanbase is mainly otaku - of which many buy multiple copies - and therefore not accurately reflected on NINKI.
Interestingly enough, it looks like Nana has good chances of grabbing #1 right now, she and Kim are in a fierce battle, but for the last few days Nana did quite a bit better(Nana is on #2, Kim dropped down to #9 by now)

beni and misia, coolness!

also, good luck to nana... I love her work.

I'm not surprised about Ikimonogakari and Nogizaka46: Ikimono's quite experienced, while the girls from Nogizaka are just going to simply dominate the competition, even the Koreans...

good luck to ikimono!!!
