OMFG!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SOOO GREAT
I just can't wait for tomorrow! seriously!

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL! A PARTY IN THE ARASHI THREAD TO CELEBRATE THIS 1 MILLION!

i know, right? but not everyone in here is on at the same times :( i really want a party though, lol.

ugh it sucks that I'm the only 1 here that's living ahead of time literally since I'm 12-15 hours ahead of you guys T_T

I will know the sales of All the BEST ! today later on in the day since it's Tue morning for me already :D & they just need a mere 19K+ to cross the magical million mark <3

Arashi's best album clinches the weekly #1 for 2 consecutive weeks for the first time in their history

On the other hand, on the album rankings, this week, the album which set a record for the highest 2009 initial sales of 753,000 copies, Arashi's 2-CD best album 「All the BEST! 1999-2009」, sold 233,000 copies and clinched the #1 spot for the second week running. To Arashi, this is the first time an album has stayed in the #1 spot for two consecutive weeks. Total sales are at 986,000, and breaking a million copies is just a matter of time.

For comparison's sake , Mr. Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY sold 170,000 in its 2nd week

poor ohno, he cried so hard :( (don't worry oh-chan, i'm here for you lol)
oh my gawd, we have to make a 1 million party!! i can smeel the million, and you? lol

BTW, i hope arashi will beat Mr.Children in the end, i don't like them u.u

Yeah, I will party all day if ARASHI sell a million. An even bigger party if Mr. Children's stupid Supermarket Fantasy gets knocked off the #1 album of the year by ARASHI's 5×10. I've perosnalised my ALL the BEST ! so that it includes Evrything and the solo song.

well the figures for All the BEST ! for today will be out on Oricon soon in about 1 to 1 1/2 hours's time at my end , I can't wait :D

I'm definitely sure it will be more than 19K+ today . If so , then the magical million mark has been achieved <3

mmm even though I support ARASHI & etc , I have a feeling that All the BEST ! might not be able to defeat Mr. Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY total sales of 1,236,414 since it has been still selling/charting since last Dec when it was released

& also it's already Sept & it's quite impossible for the guys to clear more than 236K+ & above to overtake SUPERMARKET FANTASY

doesn't matter to me so much because All the BEST ! has already broken so many records for ARASHI & it performed waay better than I can ever imagine

& f.y.i , Mr. Children's not named the 2nd best selling Japanese act of all time for nothing so :innocent

why all the Mr.Children down-talk? :P they're legends in J-music & "SUPERMARKET FANTASY" is a stellar album, imo.

but anyway, much congratulations to Arashi! they're going to pass the million-marker much faster than i expected. heck they're selling much better than i expected. lol. i want my copy though, but i'll be getting it when the OS is released. :3

yeah Karma will bite you back in the butt for slamming artistes that you don't listen to :innocent

That's what I feel . If I don't listen to an artiste , I WILL NOT SLAM THEM , you will bound to make people pissed just like ll moments ll :laugh

The Taiwan presses for All the BEST ! will be out this Fri aka on Maru's 26th birthday whereas for YesAsia's case , on the 10th but you & the rest will be getting them soon eventually :P

i tried one their music, but i don't like it lol
so..i prefer arashi in the #1 this year! go go arashi !
:D:D

well maybe other portions of Mr.Children's discography might be suitable for your liking

for me I like Hanabi . My younger sister sometimes play their tunes on her handphone & it's good stuff , I like

i don't mind...it's just opinions after all. :laugh
but i will admit i didn't like Misuchiru at first because i thought they didnt live off the hype, but when you really get into them, they're fantastic.

"Shounen" is amazing. i love "Fake" & "HANABI" too. & "Sign"!!

which Maru...Nakamaru? LOL.
BUT WAT. I WANT MY ALL THE BEST! ASAP. darn you YesAsia. :lmfao

yeah HANABI is pretty ace . I'm just a casual listener so far of Mr.Children but if they release something great in future , then it will probably convert me haha

Maru - yes Nakamaru xD xD

You know it's weird that HMV HK is already selling the OS press / 2 CDs edition of All the BEST ! on their site already since the OS press /3 CDs edition is also sold out on their site just like the Japan press's - http://www.hmv.com.hk/product/japanese.asp?sku=747555

which's SO weird O_O because avex Taiwan listed the album will be not out til Fri in Taiwan but yet .___.

^ that's so strange @_@ lol

The concert news clip was great. I want to see the concert. They sounded like they were mostly singing live. And aren't the costumes rather normal for Johnny's? lol
Aw, Ri-da-. It was really moving. ;_;

Didn't think they would drop below 20k, but good nonetheless. Yay, for 1 million copies. ^^

AGG!! i'm soooo so so angry right now ¬_¬
(this story is just stupid.. so it goes in spoiler xD)


ahh.. my ALL THE BEST arrived! i have to take it this afternoon! :heart
