I still need to watch the 6th episode of Yukan Club...I bet it's great ^^ *dling now*

ll moments ll · #**282** 23rd November 2007, 10:37 PM

i'm DLing hardsubs of Ep 6 too.

sales update!
KAT-TUN - 88358 + 51173 + 20553 (x1.75) = 280,147

i think 300-325k first week sales.
i wished ORICON had the sales indicator when Real Face was out. THAT would've been crazy!

ayupi · #**283** 24th November 2007, 09:27 AM

^ I would have loved to see the sales of Real Face when it was first on sale =)

I just sat for about 3 hours and watched KAT-TUN's new dvd...and I thought it was their best yet

It was so much fun to watch...I'm kind of sad it's over lol

I also watched the 6th episode of Yukan Club ^^
I really enjoyed it...lots of Koyama ^_^

summersnow · #**285** 24th November 2007, 06:35 PM

yayy ep6 of Yukan Club was really good!!! Koyama <333

and yes, definitely Keep the faith will sell more tha YnU!!!
Perhaps 500k over isn't a problem. =)

ll moments ll · #**286** 25th November 2007, 07:14 AM

hopefully 500k is possible. i don't think it will beat FoL, but possibly Arashi's "Love so sweet" & Kobukuro's "Tsubomi".

xx->01->01->01->01 - KAT-TUN - 88358 + 51173 + 20553 + 13093 (x1.75) = 303,059

300k yay!

summersnow · #**287** 25th November 2007, 02:49 PM

^yayy!! thanks for the info!!
and now, hope it tries to hit 350k!! =)

#**288** 25th November 2007, 06:07 PM

...I just don't get it. I like KAT-TUN and "Keep the faith" but why is it selling so well. If it sells more than "Love so sweet", I'll be upset. It's a good song but honestly, it's nothing special. =/ I don't get it. ...I do love Koki's rap though. lol

ll moments ll · #**289** 26th November 2007, 12:50 AM

"Keep the faith" has Yukan Club tie-in, dwango.jp tie-in, & not to mention Himuro Kyosuke of BOOWY wrote AND composed the song. just the fact that its KAT-TUN brings in sales as well.

and from a non-biased JE opinion, if i didn't listen to KAT-TUN or JE in general, I would've liked the song AND single anyway. the lyrics are really uplifting and positive, the composition/arrangement's pretty good and the b-sides are great! all the members sound really good in the songs, not just Jin.

i want to add that this is the first single that actually captures the essence of KAT-TUN, imo. i'm really reminded of why I like them in the first place when I listen to this single. it would've fit in with their Johnny's Juniors routine, seeing how the lyrics fit in with their hardships and all. ok, i'm done rambling. XD

ayupi · #**290** 26th November 2007, 01:13 AM

^ yay it hit over 300 in less than a week

I don't think it's going to outsell "Love so Sweet" myself...but I suppose it may be possible >.<

You pretty much summed it up for me, || moments ||.
I completely agree that it's a song that I would've liked regardless of whether or not I was into KAT-TUN. Actually, if it weren't for KAT-TUN in general, I probably wouldn't have listened to any Johnny's acts.

Have you seen the clip of the guys talking about "Keep the Faith" in a short Music Fighter clip? They seemed to agree that the song really embodies them as a group (and of course Kame was bright enough to note that the song was also cleverly written so it ties into "Yuukan Club").

In a random note, I got a new MOTORIZR phone and have "Keep the faith" as my ringtone. Yay for mp3 compatability!

ll moments ll · #**292** 26th November 2007, 05:45 AM

yeah, same here. without K-T i wouldn't be into Johnny's in the first place!

my friend's an Arashi fan, but i couldn't get into them at first. :3 so she introduced me to KAT-TUN by making me watch "GOLD ~Ballad Version~" from Live Kaizokuban DVD and giving me a lot of Kame pics cuz i thought he was pretty hot. XD

i wanted them to perform on Music Fighter, but oh well. i thought it was cute that Koki & Kame watched Yuukan Club. i didn't notice the lyrics until he mentioned it!

ohhh yeah, i just finished DLing "cartoon KAT-TUN II You" DVD! i just saw the first hour, but i have to say it's pretty impressive so far! :O it's heaps better than "Live of KAT-TUN Real Face".

summersnow · #**293** 26th November 2007, 11:03 AM

^I only watched their opening performance for Real Face!!
It's really sugoii!!!! Each of them were cho genki!!!

Anybody here knows the first week sales for Love so sweet?
Seems that almost everyone's comparing Ktf with Love so sweet.

TITANIC · #**294** 26th November 2007, 02:56 PM

KAT-TUN do very well..
i think all of johny's member sales very strong..
and the best is KAT-TUN

ayupi · #**295** 27th November 2007, 12:09 AM

yup KtF outsold YnU for the first week ^^
http://community.livejournal.com/kat...e/2457249.html

That is just awesome!!

I don't even see Love so Sweet in the top 5 for best selling for the 1st week of release >.<

#**296** 27th November 2007, 12:13 AM

Eeeeeee, I'm so excited to get my DVD. I slipped up and downloaded the clip of "Bokura no Machi de" because I just wanted a taste of what was coming!

From TokyoGraph:

Quote:

KAT-TUN released their fifth single on November 21, titled "Keep the faith." The song sold 351,000 copies to rank 1st on the singles chart. It also set the record for highest opening week sales so far this year, which they previously set in June with "Yorokobi no Uta" (300,000 copies).

All five of their singles have been chart-toppers, and all of them exceeded 300,000 in sales during their first week. Only KinKi Kids have accomplished that same feat.

Meanwhile, KAT-TUN's new DVD, released simultaneously with their single, is their fifth consecutive release to top the music DVD chart. At 175,000 copies sold, it also has set the opening week record for the year.

You go, boys.

The Utaban they recorded will be shown soon, which automatically means heaps of laughs.

Ktf is totally gonna pwn, Lss. =[ Whatever, you're right, it is a good song, lol.

Lss first week sales - 204,493
Ktf first week sales - 351,000

Ktf will easily sell over 500,000. But who will come out on the top in the end? I'm not sure.......

ll moments ll · #**298** 27th November 2007, 04:26 AM
