^ I think it all depends on how much he actually promotes it. The last single I think I remember him releasing was sometime around 2005 - he did lots of tv promotion and I think it sold fairly well. But then I just read that last year he released a single that sold next to nothing though. However, that may have been some kind of special limited release or something because I don't remember hearing anything about it and I follow both Oricon and Johnny's.

I know that he formed a temporary unit with Johnny Junior band QUESTION ? 4 years ago & they released a single for the NARUTO - Shippuden anime called Mezamero! Yasei & the band was called MATCHY with QUESTION ?

& that's true , it all depends on how much promo's being given to Matchy since man he's a legend in the talent agency so there

-MOTTO- will only be released in 1 edition while You were ... / BALLAD will get 3 editions

lol basically from this week all to the way to end of Nov , it's bad bad bad to release singles that's al I'm saying

LOL see I'm not crazy

ya my friend was telling me about him... but he said not to worry? his last single was in the early 2000's and didn't sell over 100K i think?

BUT HONESTLY
after Mirrorcle World i NEEEEVER believe the "no need to worry line"
i smell an oncoming battle LOL

according to the Japanese wikipedia, That singer had his last #1-single in 1987. After that he had many more singles, but none reached #1.. So.. I think Ayu is safe

I don't think there's any need to worry. It's not as though this guy's a Kuwata Keisuke or something. His single is also coming out 12/13 and the first days would probably count towards the previous Oricon week, right?

Some single information:
Quote:
13 ↓ *10,693 *,117,956 Bold & Delicious/Pride 浜崎あゆみ
14 ↑ **9,763 *,259,940 プラネタリウム 大塚愛
15 - **9,257 *,**9,257 挑戦者 近藤真彦

28 -- **4,990 **4,990 上海慕情/情熱ナミダ / 近藤真彦

*5 -- *40,309 *,*40,309 *1 MATCHY with QUESTION? 「目覚めろ!野性」
The Naruto song did well, but I think there was probably Naruto's influence more than anything.

^ thanks for that

the only Johnny's bands that I don't listen to are mainly the seniors like SMAP , TOKIO & the occasional MATCHY

since from that piece of info that MATCHY with QUESTION ? doesn't seem to be a strong single seller , I can't imagine for his solo singles's sales & let alone chart positions o_O

I imagine that a big part of it is that he doesn't really sing much anymore? He's a full time racer now apparently.

yeah it seems that he's more focused in his professional racing career judging from his wikipedia page & he's probably semi retired as a singer in this case

Meh. Now that I've calmed down, "Matchy" seems to be no real threat. Yay.

And lol at Kazy and the nail artist.

Wow, TeamAyu members get 3 freakin' gifts! -hmph-

Ugh, I want a fleece blanket now with Ayu symbols all over it. She did offer one during GUILTY, but ugh. That was brown and... not too appealing.

Is the B3 poster something that anyone can get if they order early enough? It looks like it...
