I have no idea, are they still million sellers?

oh thanks I saw that before .

SAS doesn't release that often, but if they released now their singles would still hit at least 100k+ and albums would probably be close to the million if not past the million.

Their last releases were on 2006 which means that if they won't release anything until the end of 2009 ayu can outsell them.

maybe or either that they want to relax 1 corner .

SAS is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, so they might release something.

I'm so interested for tonight... aiko vs. Namie :O

:O 30th anniversary ?! That's long !

Has SAS been longer in the business than B'z & Mr Children or around there ?

can someone please post this week's Oricon singles & album chart listing ? I would like to see where Jade Valerie's Bittersweet Symphony's on the album chart as she released her debut solo album last Wed , thanks

Kanjani8 - 49,423 x 1.75 = 86,490
Namie Amuro - 20,085 x 1.75 = 35,148
aiko - 16,747 = 29,307

#59 **3,591 ジェイド

Jade's album debuted at 59 with 3,591 =P

The album is awesome though.

ick that's low :S

& yes have to agree with you , the album's pretty neat

SINGLES
x->1 Kanjani8 - 49,423 (x1,75) = 86,490
x->2 Namie Amuro - 20,085 (x1,75) = 35,148
X->3 aiko - 16,747 (x1,75) = 29,307

ALBUMS
x->1 Shibasaki Kou (Single Best) - 32,353 (x1.7) = 55,000
x->2 Hirai Ken - 21,112 (x1.7) = 35,890
x->3 Shibasaki Kou (The Back Best) - 9,065 (x1.7) = 15,411

B'z - late 80s, Mr. Children officially debuted in the early 90's I think but was formed in the late 80's.

YAY! Namie debuted high on her 1st day. Yay! *crosses fingers for it to be #1* Namie totally desevers teh #1 spot. her musical quality has been very good in the past couple of years. Go, Namie!

Thanks for that

eh can you explain to me what's with the whole 1.75 & 1.7 multiply going on for both singles & albums ?

cos I assume you just count the figures stated on the Oricon site or am I missing something here ?

Oricon's numbers aren't the actual totals, they're just index points. When you multiply them by 1.75 for singles and 1.7, you get a pretty accurate number of the real totals.

Ah thanks now I understand why .

Thanks for that :D , will keep that in mind now

Poor Jade :( Don't tell me that hose are the total first week sales for the album?

it's unfortunately

It did sell that first week =\

->1 Kanjani8 - 49,423 + 29,608 (x1,75) = 138,304
x->2 Namie Amuro - 20,085 + 14,004 (x1,75) = 59,656
X->3 aiko - 16,747 + 11,590 (x1,75) = 49,590

oww. namie cant surpass kanjani8 :( so sad...

thanks for that , do you have 2nd day's album sales ?

I know grrr

my younger sister said that kanjani8's song's terrible

Terrible or not, fangirls like the boys, not their songs :yes
I would wish that every person on a JE boy band would state in public that he's gay!
That would terminate JE's rulling :laugh

and the album ranks didn't update yet for some reason..

I am glad Namie will have another 100 k + seller. And it's a shame Jade's album isn't doing well, especially now that some promotion has been done ^^

Namie's #1 today! :)
x->1->1->1->2 - Kanjani8 - 49,423 + 29,608 + 11,279 + 5,861 (x1.75) = 168,299
x->2->2->2->1 - Amuro Namie - 20,085 + 14,004 + 8,317 + 6,416 (x1.75) = 85,439

i'll have to disagree. i do like most JE songs, they're pretty catchy. :P
their vocals aren't amazing or anything, but they're entertainers. not singers. music is just a part of their overall image.

...and i think if any one of them announced that they were indeed gay, it wouldn't really matter. we fangirls ship them with other guys anyway! :laugh

Cool thanks!
I wish kanjani wouldn't release this week that namie could get #1 T_T

their single dosen't come out till march 19th, lol.

No, the fangirls love imagining the boys are gay together. There are whole fansites dedicated to certain JE boy pairings :luv2 Saying they were gay would only make the girls love them more :laugh Hehe, I think it's cute too!

i like KAT-TUn and arashi's song because i like their upbeat song that not female artist sing...

i dun think namie can replace kanjani8 more :( so sadddd

Namie's single #1 today as well! But it's too late for her to get #1 weekly unfortunately ...

x->1->1->1->2->2 - Kanjani8 - 49,423 + 29,608 + 11,279 + 5,861 + 5,743 (x1.75) = 178,350

Wat is platinum in Japan? 250k? Or is it 500k? Either way i Bet it will happen :brush

^Yea....platinum in Japan is 500K (I think.) lol If not platinum, it's double platinum!!! Either way, Hikki needs to OWN 500K by next week.

double plantinum in japan's 500K I think . For plantinum status , it's prob 250K onwards

SINGLES
x->1 - The Alfee - 6,152 (x1.75) = 10,766
x->2 - Kuraki Mai - 4,486 (x1.75) = 7,851
x->3 - Takahashi Hideyuki (Project R) - 3,008 (x1.75) = 5,264

ALBUMS
x->1 - Utada Hikaru - 67,698 (x1.7) = 115,087
1->2 - Shibasaki Kou - 7,597 + 11,008 (x1.7) = 31,529
x->3 - Kreva - 9,516 (x1.7) = 16,177

Namie's single is out of the top 3 and hikki's album first day's sales are less than kumi's Kingdom x_x"
hikki is going to lose the more than 500,000 copies for first week streak T_T.

aww. i think hikki 1st week lower than 500K even 400K...

hikki fame is gone too...what the hell happened to japanese people?
why they love boysband so much?

I think now's the boyband domination era in Japan

What the hell? I wake up to that. Ehh....such low numbers for Hikki. I still have faith in 500K. :weep

it's only the 1st day , there're still 6 more days to go .

if the sales are consistent thoughout the next few days then she prob wouldn't lose the 500K + streak

^Your right. :yes I hope it does stay consistent but even if she doesn't get to 500K, it'll get to 400K for sure. teehehe I'm still buying the album. Screw anyone that does want to buy it because of her sale numbers. :shimmy

Namie only sold 5k today. =x And yeah, I like the HS sales, so it's all good! :]

And Shokotan's at #4! Yayyy! (I guess we'll never see her naked then...)

Edit; Omg and Mai Kuraki is at #2! Finally a top 5 single again~

I wasn't expecting 500k+ 1st week for HEART STATION, so I'm not surprised with these numbers.

^shokotan is in number 4?!
then she won't run naked at shibuya? hahahaha

From the Namie thread:

I've also been (trying) to keep track of the totals and if anyone wanted to know, here's what I got (re-releases count as 1 item as do 8cm/12cm):

Ayu - 46,561,345 (55 singles + 31 albums) Average: 541,411
Hikki - 34,596,270 (23 singles + 5 albums) Average: 1,235,581
Namie - 27,724,201 (36 singles - starting from Taiyou no SEASON + 12 albums) Average: 577,587
Kuu - 10,192,397 (39 singles + 9 albums) Average: 212,342
BoA - 7,311,416 (26 singles + 9 albums - excludes Korean CDs released in Japan) Average: 208,898
Mika - 7,024,148 (23 singles + 7 albums) Average: 234,138
Ai - 6,199,093 (17 singles + 5 albums) Average: 281,777

^Hmm....I don't get it. Sorry for being blunt but what does the average mean? In fact, what does all of that mean?

^ The average the artist would sell, whether it be singles or albums, I believe. LOL No-one on that will ever really sell that many in singles again. With emphasis on Namie, BoA, Mika and Ai. :P

^Oh, okay. That would be a slight disadvantage wouldn't it? I mean, most of the artists on the list sold more than the others.

To quote BoA, a line I just heard from Sweet Impact "Whoaoa!"
I once had a dream like this, that AHS had its own Oricon thread and it has come true. :O I go to the JPM one like 5 times a day. :P
LOL I even see that dddaiyamondo is here. : DDDDDD

So I guess the right thing would be to comment on sales, huh?
Well then, HEART STATION's sales are somewhat of a disappointment. I had always thought that all of the people who bought Flavor Of Life would go out and buy the album in its first week. :P But maybe Hikki will be stable in the coming days? Or maybe she won't and she'll be even more stable in the coming weeks? I hope so. GO FOR THE MIL, HIK.

^Please tell me you got tired of going to that forum, so now you're happy that AHS has one of it's own? *crosses figures*

There's nothing wrong with JPM in my opinion. Both forums (AHS and JPM) have their good sides and their bad sides. The opinionated, better-than-anyone-else mentality of some of the posters there can be a turnoff, yes, but sometimes the AHS threads get boring too. D: Plus, there's a whole lot of information posted there.

^Hmmm....I see and you're right. I must stop generalizing everyone on there because of a few bad apples on there. JPM is useful as well. I'll admit that I've stolen information from there. :laugh (Of course I credited that person. :P)

Hikki will probably still sell 400k this week and ~900k overall. I was expecting higher first day sales but we'll see how things turn out.

SINGLES
x->1>1 - The Alfee - 6,152 + 4,588 (x1.75) = 18,795
x->3>2 - Takahashi Hideyuki (Project R) - 3,008 + 3,131 (x1.75) = 10,743

ALBUMS
x->1>1 - Utada Hikaru - 67,698 + 64,284 (x1.7) = 224,369
1->2>2 - Shibasaki Kou - 7,597 + 11,008 + 10,682 (x1.7) = 49,788
x->3>3 - Kreva - 9,516 + 8,137 (x1.7) = 30,010

Hikki barely dropped. And Namie is back up to #3.

thanks for that

if this keeps up then I think she has a good chance to clear 500K + easily

Usually the big drops are on the 3rd and 4th day, 5th and 6th day are rise in sales XD

OMG..
hikki's sales so crazy..hahaha

This is what I'm talking about. HIKKIHIKKIYAY.

(67 + 64 + 38 + 24 + 32 + 36) x 1.7 = 447k+

That's my prediction for HEART STATION. I have a feeling that the drop tomorrow will be smaller than what I predicted.

i guess heart station 1st week sales between 400K and 450K

SINGLES
x->1->1->2 - The Alfee - 6,152 + 4,588 + 2,636 (x1.75) = 23,408
1->4->3->1 - Amuro Namie - 3,290 + *** + 2,905 + 3,564 (x1.75) = 17,078 (excluding day 2)
x->3->2->3 - Takahashi Hideyuki (Project R) - 3,008 + 3,131 + 2,423 (x1.75) = 14,984

ALBUMS
x->1->1->1 - Utada Hikaru - 67,698 + 64,284 + 50,958 (x1.7) = 310,998
1->2->2->2 - Shibasaki Kou - 7,597 + 11,008 + 10,682 + 13,070 (x1.7) = 72,007

Hikki had a small drop again, and Namie has a strong possibility of getting #1!

I hope this keeps up . I really want Namie to be no.1 on the spot . 60s70s80s's a great single

2nd day index i guess 2800 because under takahashi and he got 3008..
so if next 2 days seh can keep in #1 no wonder she will get #1 weekly

Whoa, that's frickin' amazing for Hikki. If she keeps this up, she has a strong shot at the 500k mark, methinks.

Namie can go either way. I hope her performances do her and her single justice. A #1 single would be amazing and to achieve it in your second week is even more amazing.

EDIT: I think that the ayu-mi-x 6 NINKI's can be posted here.

#4 35.90 ａｙｕ－ｍｉ－ｘ　６　－ＧＯＬＤ－
#5 34.00 ａｙｕ－ｍｉ－ｘ　６　－ＳＩＬＶＥＲ－

Judging by the NINKIs the sales, I think the album chart will look like this next week:

#1 EXILE
#2 Utada Hikaru
#3 Thelma Aoyama
#4 Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra
#5 Shibasaki Kou (S)
#6 -GOLD-
#7 -SILVER-
etc

I'm pretty sure about the top 3, but not so about the rest of the places. I do hope one album makes it to the top 5, though.

omg, I'm so happy for Namieeeeeeeee! Her single is doing so well woo! <3

I wish Exile would sit their ass down somewhere. Ugh, god! Didn't they JUST release an album? Ugh, AVEX needs to burn. :wtf

^They're releasing 3 BEST albums this year, and this is only their 1st one. lol

I also hope Namie gets the #1 spot this week.

Without avex, there's no Ayumi, Luv! Though I also wish that they'd let Hikki spend a second week on top.

^:laugh Ayumi is a ONE-WOMAN SHOW. SHE DOESN'T NEED AVEX ANYMORE!<~Now, if that was true! lol

It's such a rip off that crazy fangirls constantly buy the same stuff over and over. What a waste of their freakin' yen. I only hope that by some chance she get another week at #1. Aoyama is releasing next week as well and her NINKI is about average for a debut artist. Since EXILE is releasing next week, she won't capture the #1 spot. With Hikki going into her second week, i don't how if she'll get the #2 spot either. Aoyama's single is still doing well on the charts still. Good luck to her.

*dies from laughing*

OMG!!! If Namie gets #1, I would die happy. =)

I totally agree, EXILE needs to just stop. I used to think they were okay but now they are just getting annnnoooooying. A 102.30 NINKI is pretty good for Thelma, I'm guessing 150k first. I really hope Hikki can beat her and get the #2 spot though.

What has Exile done to merit being told to sit down? (besides having a few too many fug members)

Y'all are just mad your diva won't be #1 for two weeks in a row, aren't you? Don't get greedy ho's.

WHAT , 3 BEST albums for this year ? :O

are they nuts or something ? how many/much material have they released so far in their career so much so that they can fit into 3 BEST albums ? :O

I smell a cashing cow marketing plot here

LOL, I smell another Ku, as it appears that promoting DBSK and releasing their stuff like crazy isn't really paying off ^^ so I guess they're putting it all to EXILE.

Avex needs to take a lesson from Kuu. They pimped her out for all she was worth and then everything post-BC started to bomb. Over-saturation is very real!

EDIT:


SINGLES
x->1->1->2->3 - The Alfee - 6,152 + 4,588 + 2,636 + 1,489 (x1.75) = 26,014

Hikki took a huge drop... Weird. And it's sooo close for Namie! She'll probably get the #1 at this rate.

come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn namie sell those CDs! =(

Oh, so there's no 500k for HEART STATION after all. Oh well.

If THE ALFEE keep decreasing, Namie's #1. Fingers crossed!!

AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..................

namie can get #1 this week...
oh GOD..
you give very special miracle for namie...
thanks GOD..

and so sad with hikki has huge drop

kinda agreed with you dude . I don't think Avex expected such a thing to happen to poor Koda which was their cash cow .

woah you can say that again but at least it's more or less confirmed Utada will get no.1 after all

Utada Hikaru's #1 spot was confirmed the day her album was announced, really.

agreed

hmmm hikki cant get #1 for 2 weeks....perhaps best EXILE realese and thelma aoyama album

They're taking advantage of the (not so) new member by re-recording like 1 song and re-making the PV.

I think it'll be quite close between Thelma and Hikki for the #2.

I personally hope that hikki will be #2 next week, except for soba ni iru I didn't like any of the other songs of Aoyama and hikki is one of my loves :love
And as Aoyama's won't be smashing numbers if hikki's album will be bellow it so it will have even less smashing sales so I hope for a #2 for HEART STATION next week.

I don't think Thelma can be a real threat to Hikki, if she is then I'll be surprised.

Well EXILE has a NINKI of 364, so yeah, there's your #1. But I think Thelma (who has a NINKI of 102) and Utada will be close for the #2 spot.
