^ Arashi will have the #1 album next week. :)

Yay for AKB48 breaking the 100k mark :D:D:D

Thanks for the update!

3 AKB48 releases on the top 50 = :heart

in which I'm happy that at this rate , they're going to nail the #1 single , album & DVD on Oricon if this keeps up :D

at this time does believe outsell Truth single?

And their rumored single in Nov. could put them at 1,2,3 on the singles chart. :)

no truth / Kaze no Mukou e's total sales (658,715) are still higher than Believe / Kumori Nochi , Kaisei

However , in the 1st 1/2 of 2009 , the total sales that Believe / KNK gained were higher than truth / Kaze no Mukou e's

yeah & this means only 1 thing , I'm going to be very very very poor :dead2

icic. but looks like Believe will stop charting next week because it sold 337 copies only last week

yeah but it's ok since Believe / Kumori , Nochi Kaisei has been released since March & for it to be still selling/charting at this point in time , it's amazing

their selling/charting power is so much better than last time for sure

NINKI Index for next week

albums - yay ayaka :heart

singles - yay Tackey . Hikari Hitotsu's amazing & it's this year's successor of ARASHI's truth imo . I hope the B-sides will be solid

still hoping for Tackey & Tsubasa to return back with something in the future though :(

Albums NINKI are terrible with Ayaka exception
