are there exceptions where that didn't happened from what you know or there's like 1 in a million ?

idgaf about the Juniors ever since K-T & H!S!J have made their debut.
i could only name like, 5 or less now. LOL.

i don't think i could like a future Johnny's group now. unless they are ~EPIC~.
...but Mary & Julie are running things now. i haven't really really liked a group they created, though i like the way they're going with H!S!J. Team Johnny FTW.

but they do have to show the Juniors, i mean. how else are they gonna get exposure. i wouldn't have heard about (the original) H!S!7 w/o KAT-TUN since they made their debut at their tour last year. :P

Making of Mayonaka no Shadow Boy PV with subs - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/2008/10/26/

Yeah.. Too many Junior groups in Johnny entertainment now.. Can't keep track of all of them now.. T__T!! And besides, i don't think hey say jump will remain as a group for a very long period (like more than 5 years).. Too many people in a group so you cannot really stand out as much... But then again, I've been a fan from them since their debut single.. so I am so expecting an album from them soon... IT'S LONG OVERDUE!

yeah, i wouldn't be surprised if the line-up were to change or if they lost a member or 2. i mean, H!S!7 are very young. little Ryutaro's gonna 22/23? on their 10th anniversary, GEEZ.

it's happened before. SMAP used to be 6 members, and NEWS with 9 members.

if they were to stay a 10 member group, i could imagine Hey! Say! BEST and Hey! Say! 7 releasing seperate material. V6 is very similar to H!S!J, with 20th Century (Nagano, Inohara, & Sakamoto) & Coming Century (Okada, Morita, & Miyake) units.

i think the reason why i do like H!S!J is because they do have traits of old & new JE generations. i mean, they're like NEWS, but also like V6, haha.

^ lol you tell them to my younger sister , Irene :laugh

but yeah HSJ's too big , it's a challenge for the guys to stand out man , I can't even recall all of their names :dead2

I want them to put out an album before they somewhat spilt in the future *touch wood* , that's already long overtime on their part

I could imagine the same. It probably would be preferable to have some split releases or they should make an extra long PV, so that everyone can get more than 10 secs screentime.
I'm waiting for the tricks Johnny's is going to pull. Like releasing an album, 7 and BEST version. One has 7s solos, the other BESTs. Wouldn't be surprising really.

1st week sales of Mayanoka no Shadow Boy - #1 with 211,322

nice going HSJ , it's their 2nd highest 1st week sales after Ultra Music Power's 246,826

Dreams come true - 181,064

Your Seed / Bouken Rider - 160,032

so there's quite a high chance that Mayanoka no Shadow Boy can get awarded Platinum status , nice :D

JEWEL Initiate due to this post , 1 of my fave ayumi songs <3

pretty good! i'm happy they keep on increasing with singles.:D

:D

yeah although it kinda suck that Your Seed / Bouken Rider's 1st week sales are quite low as this's the 1st single that got me into the guys's music

at least it's an increase of over 51K+ in Mayanoka no Shadow Boy's case :cool

^Yeah. But "Mayonaka no SHADOW BOY" is quite good, too, so that's OK.

I don't get why "Ultra Music Power" sold that much. The "rapping" is irritating, though the overall melody is quite cute here and there. Well, at least that's my opinion.

^ usually for JE's case , their debut single tend to sell the best isn't it ? peeps like ARASHI , KAT-TUN , NEWS , KinKi Kids are prime eg.s

it's quite rare to find a JE act in which their debut single's sales been outsold by their follow up singles . The only 1 I can think of's Tackey & Tsubasa in which their 6th single Venus's their best selling single to date

& as for why Ultra Music Power's sales were good , maybe because of the B-sides ? as I really like them especially Too Shy

thatz it!!! thatz how we'll get a solo track for each member!!! I would totally buy the 7 ver. and DL the BEST members' solos lol (gotta support my Chinen and Yamada! ^^)

btw, I watched the first ep. of Scrap Teacher last nite.
WITHOUT subs so maybe I missed some stuff... tho lately I've been watching everything (like RnK) without subs and actually understanding everything (my Japanese must b getting better! ^^)
ANYWAY I think ST is kinda weird... from just the first ep... but where the heck did the 3 boys come from?!? and why did they transfer to the crappy school?!? and and and... i dunno... i think i need subs...

also, why does Yamada always have like a seductive thing going on... like it showed close-ups of all of them and it shows him with a finger at his lips and staring off... it was weird lol
itz like "don't act like all cool like you don't care. you just used a freakin helicopter to help the teacher. you care."

wow Yamada looks good

since when does he not, karen? :innocent

:P

that & Takaki too (well for me that's)

anyone seen the 2nd ep. of Scrap Teacher??? Yamada is SO FREAKIN ADORABLE in the choir scene! he's tone deaf!!!!! so cute!

but whatz with that lady teacher looking like she was gonna molest my Chinen?!?
first i was like, "maybe itz supposed to be a funny scene..."
but there was no funny music or sound effects and my Chinen ran off looking like he was gonna cry!!!!

anyway, anyone seen HSJ's concert DVD? i'm thinkin about buying it. is it worth it?

u GOTTA watch ST! itz too cute!
