Nice. I wondered if there will be something like this. Are there readable scans available for those?

so far no 1 I know has uploaded scans of the photobook (except for the photos but not the lyrics/inserts of why the guys chose to put so & so's song into disc 3)

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

hoo boy , that's really great :D

I think it's possible to shoot for 600K + in the 1st week if this keeps up & initally I set my expectations to be 400K+ for the 1st week sales

guess they have proven me wrong

wooow... seems like they cant sell more than mr.children......

well it doesn't matter as All the BEST ! has done even way better than what I have expected initally

Girls (I'm talking to you Lisa , Kaori & Eirynne) , please read my PM's , it's important like your lives depend on it :laugh

i knew they'd pass 400k+ today! sooo happy :weep

btw, does this mean that they outsold Dream "A" live already?

me too :weep

glad that you have already read my PM's , Lisa

can't wait for you to get All the BEST ! next month :heart

Those are some pretty nice 2nd day numbers. :)

yea, they actually outsold ALL of their albums. i just checked on wikipedia. amaaazing :tipsy

yeah let alone their debut album which's fantastic with a capital F :luv2

real stoked that you Lisa & Kaori are able to get the LE of All the BEST ! in due time <3 :D

I hope the same thing will go for Eirynne as well :yes

^ UR soooo lucky, you can aford All the BEST!

^ got it Eirynne & I think they can clear 500K+ if this keeps up

more updates on Aiba's My Girl drama - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/2023586.html

omg at the girlfriend , she played Ohno's sister in Maou :thud

their 2 day sales for All the BEST ! currently stands at 432,122

omg i love her! she's a host on one of TBS's talk shows, too. i think it's called ousama no brunch :shrug but yea, what a small world! these actors and actrsses just go back and forth, lol.

btw in that clip, aiba is SO tall! wow :P but soo cute!

edit: i recently found a lucky man performance from 2005 :P look at jun! :luc2 :laugh
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UnkqKSWWGM

ooh ya , she's a host in ousama no brunch :yes

plot of My Girl :

The story revolves around a 23-year-old man named, Kazama Masamune. During high school, he had a girlfriend four years older than him, but she suddenly leaves to go abroad. Six years later, he receives news that she has passed away. In addition, she secretly gave birth to Masamune's daughter. Now the five-year-old daughter, Koharu, is returning home to Japan, and Masamune must raise her

mmm looks like her role in the show will be those see you & bye bye kinda roles if that's the case

How's ARASHI nation doing? Loving the daily sales figures! :)

just pre-ordered my "All the BEST!" overseas version. ;)
i took advantage of the YesAsia summer sale too & got some discounted ayu con goods (& got a free ayu ASIA TOUR towel while at it!)

geez all my stuff i've ordered in the summer are coming next month it seems. HURRY SEPTEMBER! :weep

3rd day sales will be out soon

I saw those items you preordered in the Asian Media Chat section , Eirynne

O_O O_O - that's all I'm saying :laugh

Wow, the RE looks KAWAII "in person" :luv2 Like a nursery rhymes CD! LOL! :D

All the BEST !

x->1->1 -- 261,076 + 171,046 + 120,568 = 552,690

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

definitely can hit 600K & above now :D

definitely possible! :yes i had no doubts. they're massive. :D

I guess with what Eirynne have said before , she's still standing by her 650K+ per week comment

I think it can happen now in 3 days to come if sales doesn't drop so much

usually during the weekend , sales will raise so hopefully that will happen

comparison between Mr.Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY & All the BEST !'s 1st 3 day sales

SUPERMARKET FANTASY

火 260144
水 170304
木 81495
金 51998
土 69329
日 74361

All the BEST !

火 261076
水 171046
木 120,568
金 tbc
土 tbc
日 tbc

so 1st day sales , All the BEST ! is higher

1st 3 days sales for SUPERMARKET FANTASY - 511,943

1st 3 days sales for All the BEST - 552,690

if the last 3 days sales for All the BEST ! will not drop like crazy , I have a feeling it can get the highest 1st week sales for an album in 2009's Oricon year

All the BEST ! just needs a mere 155,073 to clear in the next 3 days to be on par & suppress SUPERMARKET FANTASY's 1st week sales of 707,763

haha! it's SELLING BETTER than mr. children... someone will get angry at us, karen! LOL! :D

lmao like who ?

I'm having a really good feeling that All the BEST ! can crack the magic million mark man in weeks to come

if so , this will be the guys's very 1st album to cross the mark :cool

haha! remember that person who says "they can't surpass" mr. children? :lech we've proven him/her wrong... now that person is going to get mad at us once he/she figures this out! haha! :innocent

:laugh

as they say - IN YOUR FACE :P

haha! we're going to have the LAST LAUGH, karen! :D NEVER underestimate the POWER OF ARASHI... :laugh

[Oricon]Arashi's "Best" Album achieve 260,000 sales within just the 1st day, top daily ranking

嵐のベスト盤が初日だけで26万枚、デイリー1位

( 2009年08月20日 05時00分)

今年、デビュー10周年を迎えた人気グループ・嵐のベストアルバム『All the BEST！ 1999～2009』が、18日の発売初日だけで26.1万枚を売り上げ、8/18付デイリーアルバムランキングで首位に初登場した。今年の週間売上の最高初動記録（アルバム）は、6月 に発売されたGReeeeNの『塩、コショウ』の45.2万枚だが、それを上回る可能性が出て きた。 　

Arashi's "Best" Album achieve 260,000 sales within just the 1st day of release, achieving top daily ranking

This year, popular group Arashi who are welcoming in their 10th year of debut released their best album "All the BEST! 1999~2009", within just the 1st day of release on 18th August , it achieved sales of 261,000, attaining the top position for the daily ranking of 18th August.

This year's top weekly sales (album category), is GReeeeN's album 『塩、コショウ』released in June, with 1st week sales of 452000. There is a probability that Arashi's album will surpass this.

===

excellent with a capital E :D but that article did not mention Mr.Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY's 1st week sales of 707,763

even though by right the album was released last Dec , Oricon will count it in their yearly 2009 but oh it doesn't matter haha :laugh

if so YAY !

red alert to Lisa , please tell your hubby to shave ! :laugh

he didn't do so in this week's 90 mins special of Himitsu :O

is it right arashi will release single soon??

I saw their name in livedoor upcoming release
http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi...14/1223366823/

that's 5th Nov 2008 which was last year

that single in question's Beautiful days

nah...
scrool til the bottom of that page.you will see

that's the latest update.

ah ok sorry for that

maybe it's a new single release for 2 reasons

1) theme song for Aiba's MY GIRL drama ?
2) release on the same day since A.RA.SHI when it was released 10 years ago

either so , ugh if this's true , T_T T_T T_T T_T T_T

I haven't recover the damages done with regs to the LE of All the BEST ! & then now this ?

AIYOYOYO :dead2

OMFG YES! but i really don't want it to be for aiba's drama, LOL. i mean, i do, but...i'm still hoping jun's new drama (with oguri shun) will be confirmed! :weep *sigh* maybe i should just finally give up. i'll forget about it until september. if nothing is confirmed by september, then i guess i'll just focus on aiba's drama :P

ANYWAY, i think it'd be even better if the single was like a 10th anniversary thing instead, though. that'd be very fun :yes but whatever it is, i'm still happy, as always, for a new single!

and i haven't watched himitsu no arashi-chan for a whole month, karen, lol. so i think i'd cry if i gotta see jun NOT shaved :irked

edit: btw karen, SID is also in that list for a november single release! :D and i personally hope ORANGE RANGE and aiko's releases will be true, too. :yes

LOL LOL LOL

as usual , Lisa's selfish :innocent but I don't know , anything goes & sometimes what Livedoor listed on their site might not be 100% accurate *remember a while back ago about Mika & supposedly memory & then now CANDY GIRL saga

& eh to me , it will be great if they can re-record some of their old songs especially since this year's their 10th anniversary

if ayumi can do that last year , why not them ?

& :roflmao @ that unshave MatsuJun comment

I saw it just now with my younger sister & :no :no :no

if they recorded old songs again, i want it as b-sides. like ayumi did for her anniversary, like you've mentioned :yes that'd be pretty nice.

ooh yes I like that idea too :yes

I do hope that can happen somehow or another . I mean sure they release All the BEST ! already & they're currently preparing to go on tour but you know :innocent

okay, i'm upping my prediction to around 650-700k. :laugh

lol, i know it's beating SUPAFAN now. but let's see how 2nd+ weeks hold up. if it gets my prediction first week & can pass 200k 2nd week, it's done. Arashi's going to get yearly #1.

ok? :)

okay irene! that sounds fair enough! (since you mentioned they'd be yearly #1. if you didn't.......:mischief)

Eirynne can make millions if all of her predictions come true & be a psychic :lmfao

but jokes aside , I have a good feeling All the BEST ! is able to cross the million mark if sales are steady enough

I mean Believe / KNK is still selling on Oricon despite the fact that it was released way back in March this year

don't make me pull out SUPAFAN's been charting since DECEMBER 2008. :P

but anyway, we'll see. just looking at the charting i think they'll make it too. :) hope they don't drop hard next week, since that's the true indicator.

yeah I'm amazed that SUPERMARKET FANTASY has been charting/selling since last Dec which I'm real impressed

in recent times , the chart life & sales of ARASHI have improved considerably since One Love so hopefully this will spill over to their albums in future

My CD has already reached Philippine shores... Yesss! :D It'll arrive anytime now... Can't wait for it any longer :no

Karen, yup! i will give credit to Arashi though. no one sells like them now! :)

blue_yet_stronger;; you're Filipino? me too!! but i was born/raised in the States. :D

(1) yes. no one sells like them now. bow.

(2) yes, i'm Pinoy and proud of it. :yes really nice to "meet" someone here who's also pinoy... :D

great I hope you can get it in due time

a bit off topic but can you speak Tagalog & have you heard of Rivermaya ?

it sucks that frontman Rico left last year :( , I love You'll Be Safe Here & I saw them twice in performance when they came down last year to perform T_T T_T T_T

they were great live

yes karen, i can fluently speak in tagalog. i was born and raised here. :yes and yes, i know rivermaya. they're one of the biggest rock bands here. :yes Frontman Rico Blanco has already left the band and went on a solo career. He currently has an album out. :D

yeah I know Rico left Rivermaya already , even up to now , I'm still a bit sore over it

he was such a charmer & he know how to entertain & work the crowd when he & the rest of the guys came last year here to perform twice

pity that things soured til like that

^ Thanx 4 DL ^.^

finally for once , someone who appericates my help :laugh xD & not being super picky in die die must have 320kpbs specs of albums & singles unlike some people on here :innocent :innocent :innocent

^ It's ok. Even though it took me an hour and a half o finally sort it out. I've still got to copy them to CDs. :gnash :laugh

:syesyes Thanks 2 God 4 bringing these 5 boys 2gether :blove

x->1->1->1->1 -- 261,076 + 171,046 + 120,568 + 74,411 = 627,101

my copy has FINALLY arrived! :thud awesome! it was really worth the wait and money! :luv2

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...00_2772-ed.jpg

thanks dude

they just need about 79K + to overtake Mr.Children's 1st week sales of SUPERMARKET FANTASY if this keeps up

@ blue yet stronger - YAY :D :D :D

wow I can imagine how much peso you had to pay for it @_@ & somemore you chose EMS too :thud

now's to wait for the girls to receive their OS press copies next month & then it's all good :cool & btw I love your bed sheets LMAO

yesss! congrats to the boys! all the BEST! is already a smash hit! :luv2 haha! i had to pay 52 US dollars plus extra fees at the post office. In total, I had to spend 2,700 pesos for this. But no regrets, this is a rare item, so... haha! and about my bedsheet, thanks for the compliment. already dirty though.. need to change it soon! :tipsy can't wait for the girls to get their copies as well! :D

:thud

2,700 pesos = S$80.84+ from http://www.xe.com

your copy's about S$3-S$4 of what I had to fork out for my copy locally aka S$84.95 :dead2

but it's worth it :D

your bedsheet - LMAO yeah it's really nice & cute :lmfao & the girls (Eirynne , Lisa & Kaori) wouldn't be getting their OS press copies til mid Sept or so but I figure it will be worth the wait for them

they will overtake it...
i'm still waiting for 320kbps rip version...
i will buy this when the overseas version is out

I know of some people who already have uploaded the 320kpbs on the net but I'm not going to post the links on here since they specified not to do so as hotlinking's a no no

I have my own copy of All the BEST ! but heck I'm too lazy to rip & upload it for people to download :innocent because they're rude & they don't ask nicely :eviltongu :o

I only rip it in wma/48kpbs for me , myself & for I♥Kuu4ever , LMAO

omg karen,i just saw a screencap of jun from himitsu. and omg. i think my eyes are burning :scry :irked what the hell, jun? WTH?! :grumpy i'm just gonna forget i ever saw that picture. :yes

anyway, i think a 700k first week is possible now! they'll definately beat 650k :D

btw irene, your set is hilarious. "not loved" :laugh

:laugh

see I told you it's :no :no :no :no

this's probably the 1st time I saw MatsuJun in unshaven mode :O

:roflmao

told you Eirynne

lol poor tegoshi, though. he dosen't even have a name anymore.

"UHHHHHHH........." :laugh

you know I actually find him cute & boyish during the weeeek til Happy Birthday PVs but now ick

if that's the kinda look he will sport in the upcoming DREAMBOYS musical next month , :no :no :no

anyway , maybe you , Eirynne & Kaori should do an unofficial countdown of sorts with regards to your future OS press copy of All the BEST ! xD

haha, yea i should! and i can put it in my signature. but i dunno the exact date of when it'll come, lol.

LOL yeah that's true o_O

maybe after YesAsia mailed out you & Kaori's copies , you can do that since it roughly takes a week or so for you to receive stuff via Airmail

oh really? great! when it ships i'll do a countdown. a week is much better than 6-10 weeks, haha.

LOL yeah that's true

ah I watched the latest VS ARASHI episode earlier on & Ohmiya went for the Bank Bowling game 8D

Sakurai blew it AGAIN & my younger sister shake her head AGAIN over my brother in law LMAO

LOL. i still don't know why "HE" is in DB. he SOOOO does not fit in it, imo.

All the BEST is probably going to go 700k+ opening week now. :)

maybe they want to convince people that tegoshi really IS a boy. so..just put him in "dream boys" with 2 popular JE guys and....? :laugh i dunno why, but i still find your set hilarious, ireneee :laugh

:laugh

seriously Tegoshi's the last person I expect him to act in DREAMBOYS

anyway

Pics of Nino with Inoue Mao - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/2036535.html

ooh er I wonder what will MatsuJun think about this :innocent

aww, they look cute together because their both so small, compared to the almighty matsujun :laugh

ooh congratas to arashi <3

i think they are able to be 1# in yearly album and single haha thier fans must be proud :D

to me nothing still beats Inoue & MatsuJun together in HYD :smitten

oh yeah absolutely

they have come a long way since their debut 10 years ago :weep

some trouble brewing up in their upcoming concert , tickets wise

https://www.fc-member.johnnys-net.jp...ine/index.html

ames_909@LJ translated the above site as follows :

A notice regarding the illegal trade of tickets issued by the concert agency
08/21/2009

Those who have read the membership agreement and ticket sales agreement will already be aware of this.

Despite most members joining with the simple intention of supporting our talents, it appears that some of our members have been joining with the objective of illegal trading. Illegal trading, reselling, transferring, loaning of membership serials, applying by proxy as well as requesting to apply by proxy are all forbidden in the membership agreement.

Acts of scalping or internet auctioning, should they be discovered, will be dealt with severely. All tickets that have been obtained through any other act of buying and selling outside of the proper sales route will be evaluated for profit-making intentions. In cases where the ticket holder is not accompanied by the person whose name it was purchased under during admission and exiting, it is possible that time will be taken during both for examination, and requests made to leave the premises.

Again, unofficial sites that swindle under the title of a Johnny's fan, offer the services of buying tickets as well as collect the personal information of our esteemed fans have been increasing. Sites like these are sites that are using the services which Johnny's offer for profit-making intentions. Once again, they are extremely malignant sites that make use of the mentality of Johnny's fans by feigning appearances of "Being helpful to fans", "Mutual support between fans", and so on. We will inform you of examples of unlawful sites below. To our esteemed fans, please be extremely careful not to disclose your personal information readily.

【 Tickets issued by the concert agency that are printed with the following seating numbers are now invalid. 】


※ Those in possession of tickets with matching seating numbers with the above list must contact the concert agency by phone as soon as possible, or approach the concert agency counter before entering on the day of the the show. If you do not make a confirmation to the concert agency in advance, you will be asked to leave the premises when you reach your seat. Please understand that the seat will be given to someone else.

※ In order to confirm your identity at the venue, please bring official documents that can confirm your identity with you without fail.

※ Those who were not listed above may also be asked to confirm their seating on the day of the show. We ask for your cooperation.

◆ In the cases where we receive official queries with lawful basis from public institutions such as the court and the police, the concert agency may disclose personal information.

Once again, we will like to ask for everyone's understanding and cooperation.

re: EXILE - ORICON charts stop charting for 2008-2009 at the 2nd half of December (...right?), so i would assume avex would schedule their album for the next chart, not the current one (this is how SUPAFAN is currently #1 despite it being a 2008 release).

re: Tickets - dang, JE's taking strong measures against scalping (i'm not surprised though). i hear tickets are near impossible to get even if you've been in the fanclub since day 1.

Oricon - I believe so Eirynne . Since SUPERMARKET FANTASY was released last Dec on 10th that week , Oricon counted that in the new year 2009 so maybe the 'cut off' point is 1st week of Dec :shrug

if not , it doesn't make sense for SF to be listed in 2009 instead of 2008's

yeah but the worst thing's that now it makes things even harder for non Japanese ARASHI fans to get hold of tickets now that Johnny & Associates are clamping down on this matter

it wouldn't hurt for Johnny to open fanclubs for all the bands & make it an international thing right ? :innocent

anyway sales for today's All the BEST ! are strangely not reflected on Oricon o_O - http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

I think it's a public holiday today in Japan ?

holy moly! the sales are awesome! I hope they'll reach 700K this week! :yes
well, honestly, I pretty sure they'll reach 700k xD

x->1->1->1->1->1 -- 261,076 + 171,046 + 120,568 + 74,411 + 65,443 = 692,544

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

All the BEST ! will overtake Mr.Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY's 1st week sales of 707,763 by tomorrow :thud :thud :thud , giving the guys the biggest 1st week sales of Oricon 2009 year soon when the official 1st week sales are released in a matter of time

omg omg omg omg omg omg O_O O_O

Looks like it's possible to attain million status if this keeps up :weep , I'm so excited ! & for them to be a shoo in triple threat this year in sweeping Oricon's top selling single , DVD & then now probably album , how sweet for a 10th anniversary pressie for them

:weep lisa's proud, lisa's proud. imagine their first for all 3 oricon charts (single, album, DVD) :tipsy 2009 is definately arashi's year. :yes

I know & I thought last year was massive & great for them & that they probably can't top things up with this year

guess I was so proven wrong on that

whoa, SUPAFAN had 707,763?! D:
but awesome, congrats to Arashi! :D

maybe they'll get 740-750k? since ORICON tends to add a little more to weeklies.

YES, 5×10 at #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gracias Karen, for a 3rd time. It's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x->1->1->1->1->1->1 -- 261,076 + 171,046 + 120,568 + 74,411 + 65,443 + 50,223 = 742,767

http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/

It's official , All the BEST ! has overtaken Mr.Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY's 1st week sales of 707,763 already :D :D :D :D

^ I have a feeling All the BEST ! will crack the Million mark! And it could be one of the top 10 of the year, if not #1! Let's just hope EXILE don't release something this year like EXILE BALLAD BEST. yawn.

yeah I'm quite sure by next week or so should sales should don't drop so drastically , it definitely can crack the magic million mark , giving the guys their very 1st million selling album :D

I am in absolute l:bloveve with A.RA.SHI

whenever I hear A.RA.SHI nowadays , I always always always remember the lyrics being screwed up on purpose by SMAP's Nakai & Utaban's Ichibashi :laugh

instead of ARASHI ARASHI FOR DREAM , they will sing it as either ARASHI ARASHI OH YEAH or ARASHI ARASHI WANT ME xD xD xD

YAY! those sales are so much more than what i expected for the first week. i'm speechless, lol.

I can't believe 700k already, congratulations to boys :D They're really so much popular :D
