I don't know where ARASHI's at , but I'm assuming 3rd ?
just because in recent times ARASHI has been gaining in sales/popularity , doesn't mean you can say something as so |
You have to take into account the way that sales have changed though. SMAP and Kinki Kids were their most popular at a time when more people bought CDs. Arashi has done things over the last few years that SMAP has never been able to achieve. I believe that Arashi are easily at least at the same level as SMAP now in terms of pop culture relevance.
