[Hey! Say! JUMP] The 4th thread ~ 4th album JUMPing CAR (24.6)

[title156]

Well, someone in Weibo already got the album and he/she is kindly to share the screencaps from PVs which make me disappointed because they're just live footage.

FOREVER


切なさ、ひきかえに

[KarenPang]

^ oh dear that doesn't look good & to think at 1st I wanted to buy the CD + DVD PVs version when smart gets released in Taiwan next month (since I don't believe in buying Japan only when necessary)

I guess now I will go for the CD only since the tracklist's the same for all 3 editions :x

[visionfactory]

I preffer lives XD I never like their PVs

[KarenPang]

For JStorm to put live footages as PVs instead of them shooting in a scene/outdoors , it definitely means they don't really care that much in promoting smart as much as they should be doing for a single

That said , I hope smart will be good as this will be their 1st album not to have any songs that're mixed with the sub units singing . It's a good thing the bonus disc comes in 'handy' in this case

The PVs are meh

[KarenPang]

Bigger covers for smart

CD Only (same cover with 1st press CD only + bonus disc)



CD + DVD A



CD + DVD B



And the album debuted at #1 with 1st day sales of 71,929

I gave it a quick listen earlier on & most of the new songs are very grown up , definitely not the same as what were included in their 1st 2 albums

And the way the album is titled/spelt out on the covers are very smart indeed

S - songs
3 - three (with this album being their 3rd)
art - Art

Noooo, it's 128 kbps rip. TOT I hope better rip will be online soon because I rarely unseal my HSJ CDs (unlike ayu CDs which have blu-ray or concert blu-ray).

[Bigtop]

I need at least 320kbps or V0 VBR, not 128... Today's standards are really much higher...

[KarenPang]

71,929 + 24,018 = 95,947

[visionfactory]

Seems like it will outsell past albums isn't it?

[KarenPang]

71,929 + 24,018 + 11,146 = 107,093

[KarenPang]

71,929 + 24,018 + 11,146 + 6,208 = 113,301

[KarenPang]

71,929 + 24,018 + 11,146 + 6,208 + 5,325 = 118,626

[KarenPang]

71,929 + 24,018 + 11,146 + 6,208 + 5,325 + 4,447 = 123,073

The last day is the only time smart drops to #3 as the album had been #1 for the 1st 5 days

[KarenPang]

1st week sales for smart - 126,734

[title156]

The number is almost the same as JUMP WORLD sold in 1st week. Releasing the album in 3 editions doesn't help much. :/

BTW, FOREVER ROCKS!!!!!!

[Bigtop]

I'm not surprised. Congratulations to the "new" HSJ! (Well, not new, but then again, just about everyone's legal adult age in Japan, which is 20 years old...)

[KarenPang]

FOREVER is amazing and I frankly think Setsunasa, Hikikae ni should not have gotten the live performance PV as it's not that good

I rather Come Back ...? or Candle get the PV instead

Then again just like their previous albums , I appreciate the personal input from the members that went into some of the songs in smart
