虹-Niji ~ AHS' Official 4th AAA Thread

[Bigtop]

6th anniversary - now let's get #AAABEST moving!!!...wait a minute...#AAABEST!? This title doesn't seem right...they put the "#" with the title!?

Weird name concept, it seems... It's based on a Twitter hashtag just to create this greatest hits compilation...

[Mai82Go]

#AAABest at position Number 1 with 29,377 copies sold.

Yes, nice that CHARGE & GO! will finally see the light of the day. It seemed forgotten. Can't wait to watch BC tour live.

[Yoake]

Nice to see a release date.

[Bigtop]

Another new single? Man, I think AAA's getting busier than what I expect!

From arama

Seven-person group, AAA, have the #1 album of the week with『♯AAABEST』(9/14). The album marks their 6th year anniversary and sold 66,000 copies in its first week according to Oricon's weekly chart. This beats their previously highest-charting album, Buzz Communication, which hit #2.

The group, which debuted with their single, "BLOOD on FIRE," have previously had two number one releases, including 2008's "MIRAGE" and "Aitai Riyuu/Dream After Dream ~ Yume kara Sameta Yume ~" last year. This is their first #1 album.

The new best-of includes nearly three and a half years' worth of releases, from 2008's "Beyond ~ Karada no Kanata" as well as bonus tracks, with a total of 15 songs.

Hey, the same people that hate on Ayu also hate on AAA. Nice!

[kakumei]

new single and new DVD now listed for a 2012.02.22 release.

[adantatu2]

^thanks for the info !!!
I loved their last single Charge & Go!

[Bigtop]

Ooh... Another new single to look forward to...

[Mai82Go]

AAA will be at Kouhaku this year as well and they will perform CALL for the White Team.

[adantatu2]

I would prefer No cry No More or Charge & Go!, but is OK

[Mai82Go]

^I'm really no fan of most AAA singles this year. I hope next year will be better. 2010 was such a great year for them, 2011 wasn't. At least, imho.

Anyway, Nao will hold 2 solo concerts at the end of January in Shibuya. These are his first solo gigs. I wonder if he will release new material for this? Maybe Ayu can visit him and sing along to Dream On and ANother Song.

CALL at Record Taisho Awards:



They'll be at Kouhaku tomorrow so don't forget! Pretty much in the beginning, first half.

[kakumei]

new album now listed for a 2012.03.21 release.

[Bigtop]

Aren't they due out for a new album?

[Solarblade]

Odd, I didn't think they push an album out....but I'm thinking it makes sense if they add No cry No more, CALL, I4U, Charge & Go!, and Lights

[Mai82Go]

It makes sense. It follows the pattern of an album at the beginning of the year and a tour following during spring/summer. I'm not sure if I will buy this, but I often love AAA album tracks more than the singles so it might be worth buying. Who knows?

[Mai82Go]

Like predicted they are going on Tour. The Tour is called Triple 7. Very clever. I guess the album will also be called Triple 7 then.

That tour is a long one. Check the dates here.

The upcoming single is called SAILING and will be released on February the 22nd.

[Solarblade]

^ I hope SAILING is an original...and not a cover of that damn Christopher Cross song T.T
