okay, i've watched the MS performance earlier, and first of all: OMG RYO CUT HIS HAIR. his smile in the beginning was so cute, lol. i hope he cut his hair for a summer drama or something.

but anyway, everyone looked great! and the weeeek performance was so fun. i always love to see that song performed. they did great!!

[TofuBunny]

keke Ryo looks like a school boy with that hair cut XD In a good way though
Yamapi looks .. old. You need a hair cut too Pi-chan !

nice performance overall <3 I wish I was there jumping with the rest of the fangirls XD

sure limited edition of NEWS's singles/albums/concert DVDs do get out of print eventually but they don't have the huge magnitute selling power as compared to ARASHI where the limited edition of their stuff can sell out within a few hours , sometimes even under an hour a while back ago

NEWS all this while never had stellar O.M.G sales to begin with

hmmm are they stronger than their senpai SMAP in term of sales lately?

you're talking about ARASHI right ?

SMAP doesn't release singles as often as they used to but even if so , nowadays at most they only can cross 100K + in their singles sales

but 1 thing's for sure , ARASHI doesn't have a million selling single but SMAP has a couple or 2

===

ok at least Ryo doesn't look like Jackie Chan in last night's MUSIC STATION performance

OHHHH. i think that NEWS song was used for "一瞬の風になれ" (Isshun no Kaze ni Nare), but my bb Hiroki Uchi starred in it. but uh...Ryo was in it too, ahaha.

BUT LOL YAY FOR A DRAMA SONG. CAN I GET A "FINALLY!" UP IN HURRR.

guess their MUSIC STATION performance didn't really helped X_X

well I hope sales will improve , Johnny-san did the right thing to push the single a week back if not they will get hamtam by TOHOSHINKI badly

[~Inori~]

^The results of the Music Station performance won't be showed until the Sunday chart.

[Maemi]

The new single is ok. The b-side is also nice, but I must say I'm not impressed at all :/

It's too early to judge because the performance only aired yesterday night. And those sales were for Friday.

>.<
sales dropped quite fast.
I am satisfied if NEWS is 3rd best selling JE artist behind arashi and KAT-TUN
i dont care how low the sales actually. their position among JE artist is more important.

I'm sorry but why do you compare the best selling Johnny's act of all time ie. SMAP against NEWS ? O_O

it's so ... random/weird

basically , any Johnny's out there now , be it NEWS , KAT-TUN , ARASHI , their selling power for singles/albums is on par if not a lot more stronger than SMAP

SMAP's peak was long ago over ...

hmm, I meant they sales power at this moment, not the overall. I dont know SMAP's sales recently like 100K or 200K or 300K

[KarenPang]

NEWS in general sell about 200K + & above for their singles

the last time their single sold 300K & above was weeeek which was the 10th most sold single 3 years back

still baffled over the SMAP comparison really , to compare a senior band against a junior band , it's like comparing apple & green tea ...
