[heartplace83]

guys...

havent u all heard bout the secret of kink kids strgt no 1's releases?well, its becoz they keep releasing cd's when there's not much of a competition on the charts....they always delay their release whenever they find out theres a potential release that's gonna grab that no 1 position from them on the same day...
if im not mistaken,their song 'kanashimi blue' was supposed to be releasedon 24th april 2002,but when ayumi suddenly announced the release of 'free & easy' on the same date,kinki kids pushed forward their release to a latter date...
anyway,not just that one,thers alot of them that ive forgot
now,i dun call that a record,are they

[Grantith]

haha, that's funny! I never knew that. Sneaky sneaky!

By the way, welcome to the forum heartplace83.

thanx Grantith ...

actually im not really new in this forum..but b4 i wa susing a diffrent accoutn n i forgot the password...i cant wait long so i just create a new account..sorry for that

actually i was expecting ayu toclimb up back to no 1 after 2-3 days but what happens now is a lil dissapointing...i didnt knew kinki is that "GOOD" ...anyway,ayu still have done a very good job..go ayuuu!!!

Nooo... I don't think they're THAT sneaky. But everyone does it. Since when has Ayumi and Utada released a song in the same week?

And if they do it with singles, why would they release their album the week after Ayu's? If they're afraid of people's singles doing well, they'd do it with albums as well. But they released it anyway, and it's still number one.

I think that's total speculation.

I just checked the Oricon ranking, and Ayu has once again taken the Number 1 spot for the daily charts. The weekly chart still isn't up, but the daily is as follows:

1) Ayumi Hamasaki - "Rainbow"
2) Kick the Can Crew - "Magic Number"
3) B'z - "The Ballads~ Love & B'z~"
4) Do As Infinity - "True Song"
5) Kinki Kids - "F Album"

Sometimes they're slow with updating, so I wouldn't be surprised if Ayu had been at the top this whole time!

LOL! kinki kids are cheap LOL!!!!!!!!!thats funny KMAO!

[PinkSock]

Well, it's kind of a compliment to say that the Kinki Kids are afraid of Ayu!
I had no idea that they would delay a release to keep their record!
Anyway, didn't Ayumi and Hikki release Abest and Distance at the same time?

[ChineseWarrior]

MUWHAHAHAHAH KINKI KIDS AFRAID OF AYU LMAO!!!!!!!

[trainspotter01]

guys dun worry about it
just like wat samuraiDRIVE said, the oricon chart (the internet one) hasnt update (since the 26th actually), bcoz of new year

hehe kazuni,im very sure bout whut i said...

it was actually discussed in a forum bfore bout this kinki kids record...n everybody s sure bout it...i mean bout kinki delaying their release to get no 1 position...it doesnt really make sense if they made it like just 3 or 4 times...but they d actually did it a lot i mean lotsssss of time,so thats absolutely obvious
