S/S is out of the top 50.
It's still on the top 200 (and probably the top 100).
When it goes below the 200th position then it stops charting.

Ayu will definately out of top 20. Im pretty sure.
EXILE and B'z are going to release new single in oct and nov. hopefully no any strong release til december

^ you forgot KinKi Kids too

I think other Johnny's will be releasing stuff before the Oricon year finished . I don't know for ARASHI (rumours of a new single in Nov) but I know LANDS's going to put either a new single or album somewhere in Nov

LANDS is the name of the band that KAT-TUN's Akanishi Jin formed in his debut movie BANDAGE which will open in cinemas in Japan on 16th Jan 2010

^ Oh goodness, the KinKi Kids--we all know where their single will be charting. :O Well, S/S had a good run in the top fifty, yes? ^_^

And yes, much boyband hate, lol. I don't hate boybands. I mean, I'm all for catchy, poppy songs sung by cute young men, heh. :lech Thing is, I'm not big on any of the boybands out right now. >_>' Just my opinion, though. And like somebody said above; sure, let them have those top spots and sales, for they have to split it between five to ten people. (Or more, in EXILE's case. >.>) D: I actually feel kinda bad for them for that. :\

oh yeah.. I totally forgot KK will be releasing single on 28 oct.
well bye bye top 20 for this year again. at least much much much better than last year which MW got #33 only with sales 193K, 3K higher than D/G

ho god I hate boysband n___________________n don't forget Ayu will out a new single I'm rather sure !

Yeah, she'll probably have one more this year, and then one or two the very beginning of next year. And then new album, yay! (Wow, I'm really looking far ahead, aren't I? :X)

i don't think so. it has been her pattern for a while just to have 2 singles and then an album. so i think she'll have another single this year and an album in the beginning of January or something

^ Oh yeah, I forgot she's starting to differ a bit from the usual Japanese pattern, hah. But she's really only had two years where there were only two singles - the rest she had at least three. So we should definitely get one more, like you said, and then I guess the album. Which I'm not complaining about. I love new albums to start off the year. ^.^

Wow. it's been 100k just for 7 weeks! Ayu is so good at selling singles!

Ive never seen such an enthusiasm...

^ I know, right?? XD It's good, though! We should be saying this!! Even with crap promotion, decreasing popularity and overall dying sales, Ayu still sales better than so many. :love

SID and YUI selling over 190k with their singles? I don't really see that happening, both of them would need a mega popular tie-in. Considering that even FMA2 didn't do wonders for them, their chances of beating Days/GREEN are none.

Oops I shouldn't have listed YUI & SID in the mix but it did wonders for them to a certain extent

again went to #1 while Uso went to #2 & SID even got the chance to perform on MUSIC STATION live for the very 1st time

I don't know how will B'z's MY LONELY TOWN will fare since it doesn't have any tie in from what I know but it will be released in 2 editions

they seldom release their singles in CD + DVD's so that might be a threat or not

^ I meant sales-wise :) Well yeah, I guess the next B'z single could go both ways.

ok point taken :)

I don't really consider YUI as a strong single seller anyway but at least just like ayumi , she's able to clear 100K & above for her singles now

^ yeah, her single sales are at least pretty consistent as it seems the kids love her xD

I don't hate them even though I don't listen to any of them (besides NEWS, DBSK and tegomasu - but I am far from being a fan), but I wouldn't mind if people on here would talk less about them.

does anation help? hahahha

LOL & that goes for young teenage guys too xD

I have to admit I was guilty of talking so much s against people who're anti Johnny's or let alone anti boybands & from then on , I learnt to shut up & not to pick fights un-necessary

it's different if people who don't listen to them are the ones themselves who started the fights though :innocent

I wonder if she's gonna start something new already... I just want to bury this single (specially the covers and pvs) and forget that it ever existed... sad but true.

I only liked Sunset... anyway happy that this single got to sell something! :)
