no, Uchi is actually in both "Osaka Rainy Blues" PVs. his scandal happened right before "Sukiyanen, Osaka/Mugendai/Sakura Enka (OH!Enka)" was released. he didn't appear in the "Sukiyanen, Osaka" PV and on~

i don't really know why there's 2 "Osaka Rainy Blues" PVs. maybe just for exposure? one is a studio recording and the other one is an actual PV.

oh ok because I thought 2 versions of Osaka Rainy Blues were made because of what happened to Uchi

didn't realised he was in both I have to watch it again haha

& oh tomorrow's Ryo's 24th birthday :D

so by next week or two Musekinin Hero will outsell Kanfuu Fighting :O

wow, that's cool! but i love kanfuu fighting :tipsy

I thought the video will be stupid but it's surprisingly cute & fun

^"Kanfuu Fighting"s PV? It's quite on the normal side. xD

So their best selling single so far is "Kanfuu Fighting"?

yup apparently so according to what I found

^I see. Thanks Karen-chan. ^^

So debut single = best selling single doesn't apply to them.

yep so I think they're the 2nd JE act to break the whole stigma that only their debut single's their best selling single to date

1st I can think of's Tackey & Tsubasa with their 6th single Venus

yeah, the whole debut single thing doesn't apply to K8. i think it's because JE didn't really put that much effort into K8's debut. they were only to debut in Osaka, but then it went nationwide too. i think if you watch Ohkura's SCP appearance he talked about K8's debut, and he compared K8's debut with Arashi's debut. K8 only got a conference room, while Arashi got a cruise ship in Hawaii. or something like that.

yeah, i think the other JE groups the debut single doesn't equal best-selling single are Tackey & Tsubasa and SMAP. i'm pretty sure the rest of JE's best selling singles are their debut singles (SMAP & beyond~ of course. i don't know about the previous groups like Hikaru GENJI, etc. lol)

AWESOME, AWESOME SALES FOR K8!
i'm really proud of all their success! :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEXY OSAKA MAN~
i love you so much to you~!

happy birthday sousuke! :smitten we all love your DV-ness :lech

YAY happy 24th bday to Ryo ala as what Irene called him , Sexy Osaka Psycho Man ;p

Happy birthday Ryo-chan! :heart

I also need to rant somewhere so can someone plz tell me why RYODA IS SO POPULAR (ryo and ueda..) THAT IS SO LIKE..2004. RYO/SHIGE IS POPULAR TOO :weep

didn't ryo hate ueda? lol. well, not hate, but i read it on wikipedia one time. irene knows more on it, i think. :laugh

yess, ryo and shige do need more love! but i think shige needs more attention from fans, since they only care about yamapi :grumpy

...oops, i forgot i was in the KJ8 thread :headache umm...i'll go now. :dead2

lol

Ryo & Ueda's relationship's something like Nakai & Ohno if I'm right on that one Lisa

yeah cause of their "hatred" that's the reason they are paired together so often! and they made up like 2131 years ago, but they didn't really "HATE" each other..it's complicated :dead2 Ryo only belongs with UCHI (and maybe a few others..but not ueda and shige ;x)

and omg Ohno and Nakai's relationship is hilarious :lmfao

yeah that's right :laugh

& I think Ryo at that time asked Ueda "what are you doing here ?" & I think it was during Shounen Club or something

:roflmao

the whole Ryo/Ueda thing was scripted, i thought. lol. they don't really hate each other. i guess people like hate/hate relationships and mistake it for ~love~.

but yeah, Ryo/Ueda is a big NO. PLZ GET OVER IT. LIKE AKAME/AKAKAME (well, i like Junior Akame. but not post-debut Akame). IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN. xD

RyoUchi & TORN are the only Ryo couples i approve of~ maybe RyoPi a little bit. i'd rather have RyoKame over Ryoda and RyoShige.

you know what random couple i approve of? MaruGuchi (K8's Maruyama x Taguchi). i read an interview a long time ago. apparently, they're really good friends since they're both ~special~. xD

& uhhh, i didn't know Maruyama's parents were bodybuilders. o_o;;
i learnt this from Domoto Kyoudai. xD Baka no Sekai just released hardsubs for it.
