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

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.

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
