The amount of TV promo ARASHI is doing for 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 is wow especially appearing in due time on shows such as NHK SONGS & Tere to Ongakusai 2019 for the 1st time which they have never appeared before in their 20th anniversary in the business until now

And it's so hard to believe the last time ARASHI appeared on CDTV was 2005 which was way before I got into Japanese music :s

I look forward to see how much 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 will sell & I wouldn't be surprised if their new best album will cross the magic million mark , just like what happened to All the BEST! 1999-2009 a decade ago

Lastly , whatever happened to BRAVE ? I thought ARASHI might release it before the Heisei era ends but that didn't materialised

That's hands down the most beautiful looking best album I've ever seen & it looks like a release that no doubt will make a big statement in years to come

I can't wait to buy ARASHI's 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 when it gets released next month in Taiwan woo

Yeah they basically broke their own record by outselling the 1st day sales of their Japonism album by nearly 2x the amount

Hard to believe a decade ago All the BEST! 1999-2009 1st day sales was only about 261K copies but only 2 versions were put out so it's not fair to compare in a way especially since this time round a lot more content has been added to their new best album , be it songs and/or DVD footages + packaging as well

That said , looking forward to see 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 cross the magic million mark in the next few days & for JStorm to restock the best album for the 2nd time , not really surprised on how well 5x20 All the BEST!! 1999-2019 has sold just on the 1st day alone

Aaaand congrats again to Arashi for achieving the highest selling first week sales in the 2010's for an album.
Selling 1,3 million, beating Namie's Finally with 1,1 million.

https://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2138999/full/

Maybe 3 million will be possible in the long run, cause the limited edition sold out very fast and they produce more, but those copies are only to be shipped out in August.

To think ARASHI struggled in selling their music when they were under Pony Canon (which A.B.C-Z are currently under) before they switched to JStorm was mind bogging

Now ARASHI easily can sell without releasing gazillion million versions of their releases

At least even J&A has their limits when comes to their artistes' releases but when KAT-TUN released their debut single Real Face , it had 7 versions so haha

That said , congrats ARASHI

Sukima Switch released a new single, with a cover of Miyuki Nakajima's Ito as a b-side... I feel like so many acts cover that song (like is that their job?), but it got me wondering: What are actually the most covered Japanese songs? Google didn't provide answers, but I would love to know if anyone's ever tried to make statistics. I bet Ito would be up there, lol.

In recent years GLAY has not done much TV promo but so pleased this year will be their most active year on TV in years as it's an important year to them

Johnny Kitagawa has passed away

RIP to him . Without him , there wouldn't be so many Johnnys groups I've came to love & support for the past decade or so

I hope Tackey will now take J&A to the new level

B'z & GRANRODEO new albums are not easy to get into but after a few rounds of listen , it shows who's still boss in the JRock world

Interestingly both of them are rock duos ie. each of them have a vocalist & guitarist where the vocalist writes all the songs while the guitarist compose all the songs

Anyway for B'z's latest album , how often you can say you get Joe Perry to play in 1 of the songs in the record and that no. happens to be the longest but best track in the release ? x)

I don't listen to MISIA but despite this , she sounds really great alongside with GLAY's TERU in GLAY's previous single YOUR SONG

I think TERU & MISIA compliment each other really well vocals wise

Also TERU normally don't compose GLAY's material (that's normally either TAKURO or HISASHI who does that) but what TERU did with YOUR SONG was really good

I liked YOUR SONG a lot & for GLAY to bring in MISIA to sing it with TERU , it's something special
