[NEWS] The 18th. ～なんとかなるさ～

[KarenPang]

the line about NEWS having the theme song for Shige's drama Troubleman has been deleted O_O



eh eh eh O_O

what's happening

[Beauty4123]

noooo! the song can be heard in the CM, though. i really liked it too, lol. i hope they didn't cancel the song or something!

[KarenPang]

I hope it's just a glitch on their part cos not counting Hadashi no Cinderella Boy , they haven't really provide a drama tie in for a member's drama yet T-T

The Oricon week for Sakura Girl hasn't ended yet. It'll be updated later today. I guess it's gonna hit at least 190k for the first week. At least it has hit my expectation of 175k (which was intially 225k )

AND WHAT?! I was so pumped for BE FUNKY! ;_;

[ll moments ll]

perhaps a name change? i remember for KAT-TUN, "RESCUE" was originally "Tactics" on official blog-sites before they took it down.

~*~COME ON Y'ALL, OPTIMISM~*~

[KarenPang]

LOL Tactics cracks me up xD . I prefer RESCUE a LOT more than Tactics by a long shot

well hopefully it's a glistch on the website's part cos I like the title of BE FUNKY !

I can't imagine if they were to change it to something cringy/cheesy

[jiarongisme]

Apparently, from what I read at news_jpop LJ, BE FUNKY! was removed from the site because Sakura Girl was just released and JE didn't want the new song to interfere with the current single, which may cause decrease in sales.

Speaking about Sakura Girl sales,

7th day sales: 4,370
Position: #1

Week 1 sales: 195,204

[waterballoon]

wow it's so close to 200k for the first week!

and I don't mind if the song title gets changed... BE FUNKY! IS a little cheesy...

[jiarongisme]

Daily sales updated. Weekly sales had an increase because of some stores adding the sales only on a weekly basis.

ohh. thats much better if they deleted BE FUNKY for that reason.

[Beauty4123]

good first week sales!

taking the song off is a good idea if it would decrease sakura girl's sales. i hope that's the reason. it still better be released as a single, though, lol.

I doubt that. I mean right after Arashi released AnK/CM they announce Everything. And it is still on the site, just in the music section.

Sakura Girl sales update.


8th day sales: Unknown
Position: #4

Huge drop.

-EDIT-

Just realised that the drop isn't as drastic as Happy Birthday's.

[~Inori~]

^That's not a huge drop. Taiyou no Namida and HB dropped out of the Top 5 on their 8th day.

[jiarongisme]

^ LOL Yeah. I just realised that. weeeek dropped to #5 on the 8th day too. I guess NEWS/Sakura Girl is still relatively well-known lol.

Thanks for making me check. I realised that I've expected too much from this single. >_>
