If NEWS would have done some effort and mobilised their fans through 20k+ handshake events and therefore sold from the beginning and throughout the week more than yasu I wouldn't care and say "well done boys".
But this feels fishy.
NEWS sales aren't bad compared to general sales, but when it comes to boybands there are much higher sales out there. But Johnny's needs to promote every boyband as the "it-thing" and more than anything else teenage fangirls need the feeling that their favourite boyband is something special, when in reality their favourite boyband is as "individual" as every other boyband on this planet.
It's like avex was pushing release dates for Ayu forth and back, they needed to make the myth of the Empress of J-Pop, the Queen, the Japanese Madonna stay a little longer.
So if NEWS would lose their #1 strike, I bet a lot of fangirls wouldn't care anymore, because they would've lost the image of being "perfect" and "special".
