A , Domo. Hajimemashite , it's the 2nd Official Thread Of GReeeeN !

[NintendoHTF1242]

Not a huge fan of GReeeeN at all, but damn at that chart position.

[KarenPang]

Thanks Mishelle & D: at the NINKI index , it's though the roof

it's even higher than B'z's MAGIC but then again it's not fair to compare both since 1's a best album & the other's a studio album

having a feeling GReeeeN's greatest hits album might be able to crack the million mark

[Lee^ChaN]

wow look at the ninki index!! so high!!
maybe because of the disband rumour?

[KarenPang]

lol yeah maybe so

Lead singer SOH denied it on his blog though . I'm not sure it might be true after all :S

[KarenPang]

funny that they're not a strong seller when comes to best albums D:

guess that rumour about them disbanding & etc might have hurt sales in here or not

[Maemi]

250k is not bad... I hope they'll release a new single soon...

[TITANIC]

^ it was crazy after seeing how strong their 3rd album sales compared best album >.<

[Maemi]

Well yeah, their 3rd alum sold almost milion, but I think they released their best of too early, considering the ugly covers and the fact that people might have wanted smth new etc who knows...

[Aspen]

^Maybe it was because their other albums sold that well that people already got their albums if they wanted them...

[KarenPang]

for me since I have their 1st 3 albums , I don't see any incentive to get their best album at all

somemore I usually don't listen to their B-sides that much

[TITANIC]

IMO because they dont show of their faces yet so its boring for fan since 3 albums already have so we dont need best album...
thats what I think that I dont wan to buy

[Bigtop]

I thought this album would do good, as would most "best" albums, but I'm really surprised about that - even EXILE's new album sold more copies than this best album just in a single day...

[apple-pi]

I'm really disappointed at the 1st week sales too D:

I don't really know why it wouldn't sell... A best-of after 3 original albums seems pretty normal to me, not too early at all (especially if you think of EXILE & co. who have like, more best-ofs than studio albums @__@). I personally bought the album especially because of the b-sides, because I LOVE most of them and it's more practical to get all at once than go and buy all of their singles. I've been saying that I wanted a b-side best ever since the release of their 2nd album, so I felt like my prayers were awnsered XD

I don't think ugly covers affect sales that much in Japan LOLOLOL. And anyway the covers for this album seemed pretty normal for GReeeeN standards since they have that... "humor" factor? lol. Plus as far as marketing goes, they had a limited edition full of cool bonuses and fancy box packaging so I think it would've made up for it...

I think it may've got to do with what people expect from GReeeeN, and it being a bit different from other groups? Cuz since they don't show their faces it's hard to sell the members so people are only really interested in the music, and the usual marketing startegies don't work the same, I guess. Cuz I would've never though that, with singles selling less than 100k and no big hit like Kiseki, Shio Kosho would've went on to sell almost a million. It wouldn't make any sense with any other artist... so maybe they just aren't the type to have successful best albums lol. I just hope this won't hurt their next albums' sales (not sure why it would, I guess I'm just a bit insecure XD)

...end of uninteresting rant. LOL.

[KarenPang]

I kinda suspect that rumour about them disbanding backfired & that might have hurt the sales of their 1st best album ?

I'm not sure but wow they're probably the 1st artiste in which they're not up there in the best album sales department & might be 1 of the rare artistes out there in which their 1st best album might sold less than their debut & let alone their 2nd/3rd albums D:

[KarenPang]

lol despite the surprisingly terrible sales that Ima Made no A Men B Men Dest!? has gotten , RIAJ still awarded it Triple Platinum D:

http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/200911.html

guess they weren't expecting that their 1st best album underperformed big time
