Well why not? I thought BALLAD is a beautiful song and it's another move tie-in like RED CLIFF and Kuon no Kawa, so...

P.S: It's all Ayu's fault! :laugh She made me try them out lol and they turned out to be ace lol

yeah I know but the thing's , I don't know how will BALLAD (be it song or movie) will fare so I have to see when next week rolls by

LOL

I'm a casual listener of TOHOSHINKI but I must admit that some of their stuff are good

like Lovin You , Bolero , Survivor

if their PVs are being played on MTV , I don't mind seeing & listening to them but eh I rather be focusing on my numerous Johnny's & let alone JRock bands at the mo :laugh

from waht I've seen she doesn't have any strong competition...

eh

her label mate V6 will be releasing their new single GUILTY next Wed so that might hurt sales in a way or 2

then again V6 is not really a strong seller despite being a Johnny's band so :shrug

i think ballad will get #1

honestly I doubt BALLAD's able to get #1

like what I said before , her label mate V6 will be releasing their new single GUILTY next Wed so that probably's not going to happen

I hope BALLAD can give another top 10 hit for alan & it will be interesting to see how it fares after Kunon no Kawa

top 10?! top 5 for alan! xD

lol wtf is with "GUILTY" being a popular title? :laugh

Hmm maybe it's a alan vs V6 battle... grr so many of alan's fans are uncles why can't they fork out more money to buy more copies to play in their community centers or something? :gnash

yeah I notice 8D

1st was ayumi & then Anna Tsuchiya & then now V6 :laugh

I have to say that V6's new song's awesome & ARGH the PV's waaay better than their previous single Spirit (even though I love the song)

Guys in suits never ever go wrong for me :smitten

maybe so , we'll see about it

alan vs V6? That'll be fun to watch. :D

LOL LOL LOL

Miyake Ken can flirt with alan for all I care 8D

just watched alan performance on melodix
she looks SOOOO pretty and i love her style a lot
she excel the song too...she sing BALLAD perfectly...
waiting for another BALLAD performance

And then alan flirts back and all the other members get jelous. XD

:lmfao

Ken has an image of being a flirt to me :laugh after V6 went on HEYx3 & Downtown accused him of sexually harressed a woman during the fliming of their PV :innocent

NINKI index for BALLAD :

I'm not sure if you guys notice this but if you look at the HQ cover for the CD + DVD of BALLAD , you can see a teardrop on alan's

I saw because earlier on when I was at Kinokuniya , in the latest Only Star mag , at the back , I saw them promoting alan's BALLAD

^ it was visable on the FIRST lq version already, on both versions theres a tear xD

and did you guys watch music station performance already?
looks pretty good from what i saw on youtube

Ahhh V6 got a higher NINKI... *prays*

I think V6 will nail #1 next week . GUILTY's awesome & the PV's waaay better & less cheap than their previous single Spirit

I have no idea for BALLAD's case since alan's chart history is quite unstable even up to now unlike V6 who has been around for 14 years

Despite V6 being a Johnny's band , their music works are produced by avex trax & that goes for Tackey & Tsubasa too (ARGH guys please come back with something ;____; )

^ I've not heard from T&T for ages, haha. Well I wouldn't mind V6 got a #1, but hopefully alan gets at least #2! Baby steps, alan, baby steps...

that's because the guys are busy with solo projects of their own .

Tackey's currently fliming Orthros no Inu which's a drama I'm currently following & it's ace 8D & it's this year's Maou imo

Stars also his kouhai juniors , NEWS/Kanjani8's Ryo Nishikido & Hey ! Say ! JUMP's Hikaru

his 3rd new solo single Hikari Hitotsu is used as the theme song for the drama & it will be out on 23rd Sept

Tsubasa - he's busy fliming musicals & concentrating on his dancing skills since he's 1 of the 4 dancing kings in Johnny's

The last single that the guys have released was Koi Uta / PROGRESS which was last June :dead2 :dead2 :dead2

God , I thought waiting for 15 months + for abingdon boys school to release something new was BAD & let alone 11 months + for KinKi Kids's from Eien ni to last year's Secret Code :O

well I don't know . I kinda have a bad feeling for BALLAD though I don't know why so

^Yeah, I have this really bad feeling that BALLAD won't do good in terms of rankings...
