Korean born, 5-member vocal group, Tohoshinki's Live DVD 『4th LIVE TOUR 2009～The Secret Code～Final in TOKYO DOME』was released on 30th September. According to the 10/12 Oricon DVD Ranking, it sold 171,000 copies, their personal best for sales in this category. This is the first time in 20 years for a non-Japanese Asian Artist to get first place in the DVD rankings.

However, all foreign artists (who have attained this ranking) only include: Led Zepplin's "Led Zepplin DVD" which was released in June 2003 and have held that position for foreign artist getting #1 for 6 years and 3 months since, The Beatle's "The Beatles Anthology (Special Price Edition Edition)" which was released in March 2003, and Led Zepplin (same as above).

Also, based on the sale numbers of their DVD on 29th September, they also broke their own personal record by pre-selling 107,000 copies. Their previous records include their 『3rd LIVE TOUR 2008～T～』which was released in August 2008 and was last recorded as having sold 112,000 copies, and 『All About 東方神起 Season 3』which sold 66,000 copies so far. This time, their DVD sold more than twice that amount with a total sales of 171,000 copies so far, and broke the record for the highest initial sales for foreign artists.

This product is the Live DVD which comprises of Tohoshinki's final stage at the Tokyo Dome, that took place on 5th July, as part of their national arena tour「4th LIVE TOUR 2009～The Secret Code～」which mobilized about 300,000 people.

(T/N: I just picked out some points from the above article and translated them)

Interview with the producer (Taketoshi Sawatari) of "Kohaku Uta Gassen"

This year is the 60th "Kohaku Uta Gassen." What point do you mainly focus on?
Producer: The common concept from 2007 onwards is "Song Power." This year will be the compilation, so we are focusing mainly on songs and music.

What is the most important point in selecting the singers / groups?
Producer: The viewers have demands such as "I want to see the special artist" and "I want to hear this song." We would like to balance these two, and select artists that the viewers will be truly satisfied with.

Expected Shirogumi (Male) Members (Oricon Expectation)
...Tohoshinki, a group very popular among all generations, who has made a great success at the Tokyo Dome 2-day concert.... Those are in high possibility of being selected.

170k?! That's also very great! Anyway, is the Secret Code DVD available for download at JPS or anywhere else? Found it^^

[waterballoon]

Whether there's a new single for Kouhaku or not, they can still sing Stand by U or something... I really just want them all... it's Tohoshinki, not "JaeJung & YooChun"... =.=" I'm sure they would be upset too if things are like that...

And thanks for the scans. Chun looks weird... lol
