Oh, and I don't really know about Sayuri Sugawara.

Also, I keep wondering why miwa got a special treatment such a fan club like this, she even hasn't releasing 1st album yet. I don't know if other artists got special treatment like this, usually they got something special after album release.

Yeah, I'm not sure...is this kind of a bit too early? And I don't think YUI has a fanclub right now...

nanakopy87 17th February 2011 06:32 AM

Happiness (from LDH) already has fan club (in Love,Dream,Happiness Family) :p

mellody 17th February 2011 06:46 AM

^ Isn't Happiness not really a new group? I thought it's a revived old group or something...

No other artists in Sony got a fan club like this really~
Or maybe I missed something~

nanakopy87 17th February 2011 06:56 AM

not really old,not really new.haha.
i guess Sony artists rarely has fan club?not so sure as mine has fan club since i don't know when.haha.

but honestly,they should make it available online.its not fair that we can't use tenso to apply :p

mellody 17th February 2011 07:11 AM

^ DATS TRUE.

Even TeamAyu allows overseas fans to join, though it would be expensive x_x

Bigtop 17th February 2011 07:53 AM

Doing this from the United States can be tough, because I have to airmail it to Japan, then they'll mail it to my Tenso address, then I have to request that airmailed, and then I fill out the form, then airmail again, which can be quite really expensive...

mellody 17th February 2011 09:35 AM

....
You want to join or not?

Btw, I want to keep spamming this thread until got a new thread ;)

nanakopy87 17th February 2011 10:12 AM

can i help you,mellody?
but i need people to spam my thread too.LOL.just kidding XD
i'll join if i become her die hard fans :p

mellody 17th February 2011 03:13 PM

^ LOL, It's like I want to reach a certain initiate for some reason :laugh

Maybe people will call me a die hard fans, but... still not sure.
Anyway, who has the info about single release at 23rd February?
I want to see the competition here...

nanakopy87 17th February 2011 03:16 PM

i thought you are her die hard fans XDXD
but will know sooner or later(after she release 1 album and few more singles) haha

NINKI not out yet?

Bigtop 17th February 2011 10:46 PM

It's a bit too early...

OogoeDiamond 18th February 2011 06:40 AM

I bet miwa get that special treatment because of her high charting compared to other singer song writers (or just artists ) on Sony xD or there is already big fanbase

mellody 18th February 2011 08:26 AM

OKAY THE NINKI IS OUT

I'll keep your poster and send your CD to your house :D

nanakopy87 18th February 2011 11:51 PM

mellody 19th February 2011 12:41 AM

You should learn that "I don't like" is not the same with "I don't want".:rolleyes

Guess how many copies Haru ni Nattara will sell in first week?

Roughly 10,000? Hmm... I'm not sure... The song is obviously product placement for NTT docomo, but let's see how the actual single sales itself will be impacted...

It should be around 8k-10k, not to mention that so many students will buy this single as well.

adantatu2 19th February 2011 04:20 AM

probably is gonna sell more than Otoshimono and less than chAngE
maybe 11k or maybe she can sell more for the students

A cavalry troop is showing off
By shooting down Indians
With their sparkling guns
I wish they would shoot down
My depressing thoughts if possible

Offering a bribe to the gods
To plead for a passport to heaven
Is this true?
There is a guy who’s laughing
Without a single shred of sincerity
Show me your hidden hands

*Through my birthplace, my skin and the colour of my eyes
What on earth do I truly understand?
Won’t the bus driver
Let me come on board as well?
My destination? Any place will do
It shouldn’t be like this, should it?
History presses me for answers
Underneath the dazzling blue sky

We need an info for album title as well, so wait until it's announced.

Following Sony tradition, I believe the info about new album will be announced one week later after Haru ni Nattara released.

The release of Haru ni Nattara is today, I hope this single can sold well.

Bigtop 23rd February 2011 01:50 AM

We'll just have to see those two - how it sells and what and when's the album going to be released...

HTMSD 23rd February 2011 11:08 AM

Haru ni Nattara is #9 on oricon chart xDD~
(also with -MYTH- Xenogears Orchestral Arranged Album that #9 on album rank) :lol:

Bigtop 23rd February 2011 01:27 PM

A top ten is good here, but you know lower positions behind #1 can create some turbulent uncertainties, so we'll just keep our fingers crossed and let's see if she can maintain or improve throughout the week...

adantatu2 24th February 2011 12:14 AM

it's a good peak, i can't wait for the first day sales

HTMSD 24th February 2011 01:27 PM

today, she's down to #10...
Nice to keep her maintain top ten <3

Bigtop 24th February 2011 02:37 PM

Still hanging on in top ten, but let's see how the rest of the week shapes up...

HTMSD 28th February 2011 09:31 AM

it just 4 tour date, dear =="

adantatu2 28th February 2011 11:26 PM

like alan with 3 tour dates of her concert voice of you XD
i don't know if i'm gonna get this album, i really want the pvs,but now probably i'm gonna get an OS PRESS (if they exists for this album, GOD please make an OS PRESS) or maybe one used. but if the covers are gorgeous i could buy a japanese press

HTMSD 1st March 2011 12:09 AM

^ let's hope sony will consider an OS press for this album xD
and then I hope sony will release OS press for next single, so it'll help many people who like miwa but couldn't afford japanese version which is so expensive x__x

Thanks God I could resist from Utada's WILD LIFE BD, because at about 7 hours after the announcement of Utada's BD/DVD, miwa's album is coming and I could use my 3000 yen coupon from CDJ which I save for Sound Horizon's live DVD :p Ah well, I can save again u__u

nanakopy87 1st March 2011 12:11 AM

huhuhu.tough decision >.<
too much cd/dvd need to buy in march and april T_T

HTMSD 1st March 2011 12:19 AM

@nanakopy87
BUY IT!! You'll regret it later xDD
I just checked on amazon that chAngE Limited edition price is start from 9480 yen.
Little Girl Limited edition start from 2300 yen.
of course, you could try search for "miwa change" in Auction Japan, and you'll find the price is so extremely crazy.
Just invest your money on miwa =)) =))

nanakopy87 1st March 2011 12:24 AM

gotta wait the pre-order link at HMV (since their price is cheaper than CDJ ) :P
i hope that i can discover some site that offer cheaper price too (can't afford to support so many artists that releases only JP PRESS).haha

Bigtop 1st March 2011 11:14 PM

Well, we've got too many competitors here for March 30th - it could be quite a traffic jam...

I hope this ends up in the top ten - or better yet, the top five - but Ayu's getting a bit of involvement, even Britney Spears, Tohoshinki, T.M.Revolution - uh oh...

At least it's better than her last single, although she missed out on a top ten, but I think she can keep the momentum and become the next YUI!

WAIT WHAT? :irked
Oh please, she's herself and there's no thing like "...the next *insert the senior artist name here which will inherit the same title*"
Two different people are different.

Can you stop saying that? :thud

HTMSD 2nd March 2011 07:13 AM

Dear mellody, I just want to answer your post with this four quotes from an ayu thread.
Again, sorry for bringing ayu's on miwa thread, but I hope this will open your opinion about sales > rank.

As for the early post, position DOES count. Sales are more important true, but if you are a company then you want the artist that has more number 1 albums then albums that don't even reach the top 5. A ton of people go by positions on charts. If its a number 1 seller then people want to know why and go out to buy, which adds more to the sales.

Its all in the marketing and what not.

Let's say you have two artists, one who got 3 #1s and sold 10-30k with each album, or the other one, who has never reached #1, but keeps selling 100k+ with every release? Which one would you sign to your label? Now days good position on charts usually means good timing :rolleyes

The first person who more or less everyone thinks about when we say "Japanese music industry".

Selling well is not an issue anymore. Not making money is not an issue either. ayu is one person who will never be dropped.

Let's not even talk about ayu here. I listen to many other artistes, some of whom have been releasing music for years and years, with number of singles/albums in the Top 5 less than 10 times. But they are still around, releasing wonderful music. An extreme example, look at Perfume. They have been around a decade, and only started selling really well a couple of years ago. And look where they are now, one of the strongest girl groups in Japan. If your theory of "drop an artiste if they don't sell" is true, then Perfume would have been gone long long ago, and we would have lost an awesome group.

The Japanese music industry is about people who have talent and the passion to work hard, not about some silly numbers and charts. That's my honest opinion, and I do hope people would stop thinking that money means everything.


And do you remember this?

Bigtop 2nd March 2011 07:49 AM

Okay, let's stop talking about rankings and talk about her performance in general... After all, we see some songs that might have lower sales rankings but might have better song quality in terms of content!

mellody 2nd March 2011 08:05 AM

I understand your concern very well, let me explain my thoughts here too, I hope it's okay, since I'm talking about miwa popularity here too.

My standard will always the same : Sales > Ranks
This is my point of view and I know it's a different point of view with Japan media.
Japan and those silly media always makes us to think that Ranks > Sales
Because of what? Their news. They will always push the ranks to makes everything is really glamorous. It's just a point of view. For example, I'll pick Maaya Sakamoto records.

Spoiler:
Her latest album, You can't catch me sold 26,607 copies on first week and got #1 for the first time.
Her previous album, Kazeyomi sold 36,061 copies on first week and got #3.
Total sales for You can't catch me in 6 weeks are 38,775.
Total sales for Kazeyomi in 6 weeks are 52,249.
But, which one is more popular? You can't catch me of course.
Why? Oricon and Media makes an article for the ranks, and didn't mentioning the sales at all.
...yet the Music Label cares about Ranks more than Sales. The article:
Spoiler:
Following the release of her much talked about 7th studio album 「You can't catch me 」 yesterday, Sakamoto Maaya finally debuts at #1 on Oricon Daily Ranking. This marks Sakamoto's first time at #1 since 13 years of her career as well as the second seiyuu-singer to do so. (The first being Mizuki Nana's album "ULTIMATE DIAMOND") Her past album, Kazeyomi, is by far her best selling studio album but only peaked #3 on Weekly Ranking. Whether or not 「You can't catch me 」will be able to stay on at #1 for the whole week is left to be seen. If it does, this would prove a big accomplishment for Sakamoto, considering for someone who has been in the industry as long as her.

Even they have different records for ranks and sales, best selling studio album is less important than best ranking studio album. According to Japan media.


That's the fact, but why I care about Sales more than Ranks? Simple.

Spoiler:
I think only certain people buy physical format CD's. Physical CD singles are a dying format, and the TRUE gimmicks are the only things that are keeping the charts alive. If there's no physical sales, there's no thing called CD Singles Ranking, because ranks are based from sales.

And especially since it's a dying format, it is becoming more of a franchise for the fans rather than the typical consumer. Well yes it is true that even casual buyers count for the share of the total sales. This is obvious. People who are die-hard wotaku / stans / fans buy multiple versions of a single and the business encourages it. (Idol groups wota for example)

If fans buy almost all the versions of a certain group (i.e AKB) then doesn't that suggest the level of interest of fans?

There's an AKB fan but that person never buy singles. That person said he just buy albums. Personally I think Singles in general is just part of the gimmic. Albums are better.

Another example to pick, I wonder what Morning Musume's recent single figures are actually translating to as amount of real consumers. Because I clearly remember that Morning Musume in the past could sell more than 250k copies for each single. Why? One person could buy more than 1 copy. But nowadays, they only sell around 10-30k. Maybe that's the real number of the fans?

What if AKB fans is only 10,000, but each of them bought 10 copies for their single with 5 version of the singles? Are they considered popular?
What if miwa (for example) fans is only 100,000 but they only buy 1 copy for their single with only 2 version of the singles ? Which one is more popular?

This is why I keep thinking that Sales is more important than Ranks, too bad Japanese Media doesn't care about this.
No highlights about this thing too, which makes me think *sometimes* the buyer of their products is the music label itself.


That's so long huh? :laugh
That's my opinion anyway, I will always keep thinking that Sales is more important than Ranks~

miwa upcoming album will reflects her popularity, by looking at the sales later, hopefully doesn't flop.

EDITED:
Adding Bigtop comments, and yeah, I don't care with Ranks after all, she's just need to release pretty good music, and continue working on music industry to make a good music ;)

Bigtop 2nd March 2011 08:23 AM

Let's put rankings aside and I've got something to say: no wonder miwa has a "cat-as-an-i" logo and that fanclub (forgot what the name is...) has a name in relation to a cat because she owns a cat, as seen in the regular edition cover, as well as the possible fact that he likes cats! (I don't have a pet, sorry...)

Don't you remember?

Miwa (stylised as miwa) is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She debuted in 2010 with the single "don't cry anymore," used as the drama Nakanai to Kimeta Hi's theme song. miwa currently DJs a monthly radio show on All Night Nippon, miwa no All Night Nippon R (miwaのオールナイトニッポンR), every third Monday from 3:00am to 5:00am.

miwa was born in Hayama, Kanagawa, however moved to Tokyo at a young age. Since her father had a great love for a music, miwa naturally began to enjoy music as she grew up. miwa began writing songs at 15. She started self-learning how to play the guitar after she entered high school, but gave up and paid for professional lessons after finding she could not make a lot of progress learning by herself. Her High School had a ban on students having part-time jobs. Despite this, Miwa secretly worked, and eventually used these savings by her second year of high school to buy a Gibson J-45 guitar. After this, Miwa played live concerts mostly around Shimokitazawa in Tokyo and in Okinawa in the summer (her parents had a house there). Due to her high school also having a ban on students working in the entertainment business, she had to do these lives in secret (without even telling her school friends). In this time, Miwa released two self-published independent singles, "Song for You/Today" and "Soba ni Itai Kara" in 2007 and 2008.

miwa was signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan during her third year of high school. She debuted as an artist in 2010, while attending Keio University. Her debut single, "don't cry anymore," was chosen to be used for the drama Nakanai to Kimeta Hi's theme song. The single was a minor commercial success, breaking the top 20 on Oricon's single charts and being certified by the RIAJ as selling 100,000 full length cellphone downloads a month after its release. In April 2010, the song won the award for best drama theme song at the 64th The Television Drama Academy Awards, beating out songs such as Arashi's "Troublemaker" and Mr. Children's "Hanabi."

miwa released her second single, リトルガール (Little Girl) in late June. Her third single, "chAngE," was the twelfth opening theme song for the anime BLEACH, and was a top 10 single. For the animated film adaptation of Eto Mori's novel COLORFUL, miwa covered two songs by famous Japanese artists. Yutaka Ozaki's 僕が僕であるために (Boku ga Boku de Aru Tame ni) was used as the film's image song, and The Blue Hearts' song, 青空 (Aozora) was used as the ending theme song of the film. Both songs were released as digital downloads on August 12, 2010. On February 23th 2011, she's releasing new single, 春になったら (Haru ni Natta ra) which is a tie-in to SUSUME DOCOMO! the song to encourage entrance exam taking students. A week after the release of the single, she's announced her very first album, guitarissimo. Which is gonna be released on March, 30th 2011.

miwa considers her favourite Western musicians to be Sheryl Crow, Deep Purple, Carole King, Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift.[4] Her favourite Japanese musicians are Aiko, Angela Aki, Radwimps and Yuki.

Limited Guitar Strap for Limited Edition buyers?
I WANT IT :(

nanakopy87 4th March 2011 04:26 AM

wow :(

only tsutaya will receive it?

mellody 4th March 2011 04:48 AM

^ I think it's something like:
"If you bought Limited Edition album, there will be a sign paper for the Guitar Strap, send it to following address along with a postcard etc etc."

But, usually something like this only applicable for Japanese residence, I hope it's not.
Though I have no idea how to send it to Japan.

EDITED:
Please reserve the 500th post for HTMSD XD
