I really have no idea what vehicle Aiba was driving honestly o_O he went though a huge apple , that's all I know :laugh |
remember a while back ago , the difference in time durations for 5x10 in the limited & regular editions were mentioned about ?
you can download the hidden track of 5x10 which you only can find in the regular edition via http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/2005811.html it's CRAZY with a capital C :lmfao & such a rojak mash up |
^It's cool. ^^ Thanks for sharing.
|
yeah it's cool & I can't believe they manage to use random parts from their previous songs & make it into this mash up mix :O
pity it's under 3 mins T_T but anyway 2 more days before All the BEST ! is out <3 |
Quote:
I just checked the status of my order from CDJapan and it says there Status: On hand Order Status: In shipping process Yay!:colorjump Can't wait for my All the BEST! CD...:D |
oh wow that's great to know !
I hope the local HMV is able to bring in stock for both editions of the album & that they will be made available by this week if possible :heart if not , there's always Taiwan press to the rescue ! |
Quote:
|
Thanks for the graphics, minna! I'll update them in a bit~
I was supposed to be in Japan this summer, but I couldn't make it unfortunately. I totally wanted to see Arashi live. :weep And thanks Karen, but I don't think I'll listen to it yet. I really want my album. :( |
OMFG THIS HIDDEN TRACK IS FREAKING AWESOME! i want a single like this :weep
edit: omg after listening to it a few times, it reminds me of an ORANGE RANGE song, lol. and sho does a similiar rap style that is from "right back to you", haha. :P god this song totally OWNS every single from this year, i'm serious! it beats everything arashi released all year. sucks that it's so short :grumpy i know this is a double post but omg the scans are here! :thud http://community.livejournal.com/ara...72.html#cutid1 all those black & white shots are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. (especially jun.......ahhhh :dead2 i better not faint from such hotness) |
We'd better put the album in 320k download here...
|
Quote:
I downloaded HQ scans of the booklet via a secret LJ community that I"m a member in & YES those pics are :luv2 :luv2 I'm not sure if it's the booklet or just partial though , we'll see when I get my copy in due time :D |
Spoiler:
I suppose this is the ALTERNATE JACKET not the actual cover. :no Look at their poses, it's different from my siggy... :lech |
^ yeah I believe so
cos when I was checking the super tiny pic in their official site , the pose's a bit different & MatsuJun didn't put his leg up the table LOL btw can you put that pic in spoiler mode or reupload it to a smaller file size ? :shrug |
karen ~ I'm happy you like the gfx ^^
kaori ~ you're welcome :D OMFG. I MISSED ALL OF THIS!!!!!!!! :weep :thud because of my welcome day at school. hmpf. :grumpy THE SCANS ARE :faint I want my copy now!!!! |
Quote:
|
:weep i told my mom today if she could get me the album for 44$...and she laughed :scry (not like an evil laugh, but a laugh because she can't charge 44$) :weep
enough of my self pity! at least the scans are LOVE :luv2 |
Quote:
Spoiler:
Quote:
I will do something about your plight Lisa :innocent but ugh yes the scans are awesome . Me & my sister are fanning over them especially her Sakurai :P |
:weep really karen? ugh, i feel so selfish now :(
but your signature reminds me of how much i love matsujun. LOVE YOU JUN! :smitten work that school bus! |
done karen! thanks! haha! :D
|
Quote:
if not Taiwan press it will be Quote:
Quote:
|
no matter how TEMPTED I am, I refuse to look at the rest of scans! :D
|
Quote:
but omg, i'm so nervous for wednesday! i'm gonna play arashi all day (but i play them everyday anyway so..:laugh) |
Quote:
I have seen all of the scans that I downloaded from the secret LJ community that I'm in & trust me they're great if you like MatsuJun's in my banner , then the rest I feel you're going to like them Quote:
sorry to double post but you can see preview pics of the packaging pertaining to the limited edition of All the BEST ! http://saragnayan.livejournal.com/16934.html wow it looks really good & damn cool :heart & it looks like it's packaged in a digipak to me from the pics & J Storm probably didn't use those fat cases that avex loves using |
Quote:
|
Quote:
if you choose EMS then it will be fast I suppose btw a message for Kaori - the hidden track in 5x10 that I posted in the 1st page , it's only available in the regular edition you're not able to find in the limited edition so yeah |
Quote:
|
Quote:
but yes it's damn cool & at least now I know , the cover that J Storm posted on their website , it's the slipcase cover |
Quote:
this is going to be my first digipak CD! i'm stoked! :D |
Quote:
I have some albums & singles that're housed in a digipak & they're great , packaging wise I called the local HMV up earlier on & YES the chances of them bringing in the limited edition of All the BEST ! is quite high :heart they told me that they were able to secure up to 11 copies & it will be priced between S$80-S$100 + :dead2 :dead2 but anyway I will be calling them tomorrow night since it's presumed that stock for it will come this week <3 |
Quote:
|
LOL :laugh
somehow my gut feeling told me that the limited edition will be brought to be sold here since it doesn't contain a DVD I honestly dread to find out it will cost me though but I believe it will be damn worth it |
arashi stuff are so expensive for international fans... gawd! :D
|
yeah Japan presses are never cheap but hey this's ARASHI we're talking about :lmfao
tomorrow the 1st day sales of All the BEST ! will be announced & I do hope the no.s will be good |
Quote:
|
whoa, the packaging looks awesome for the LE! :D
& yeah, i'm glad it's a digipak instead of those fat cases avex uses. :P i actually really like the NE bonus track! if it was longer & if they like...rapped slower, LOL, then it would've been the perfect song. :heart but since it's not....i'll stick with the LE. :laugh |
lol I knew it that Eirynne's going to comment on the packaging of All the BEST ! , somehow or another
I wonder will the digipak concept apply to the regular edition or not & this will be the 1st time for me to own an album that contains 3 discs & is housed in a digipak ! I mean I have some singles & albums that're housed in digipaks but they only contain 1 or 2 discs & never 3 discs so this will be a 1st for me :D Preview pics of Aiba for MY GIRL - http://community.livejournal.com/arashi_on/2013629.html aww |
lol karen, sho doing the peace sign in your sig is ADORABLE :luv2
and aiba looks so nice in those "My Girl" pics! i totally can't wait for the drama. |
omg. i missed so much!!!! :weep
THE ALBUM LEAKED AND THE SCANS?! i'm gonna get the scans but i'm still hoping that i can get my OS when it comes out! :) |
thanks Lisa & I'm going to change my signature to abs's soon since Kimi no Uta & let alone Matsushita Yuya's Honesty will be out next week :D
omg it's finally today ! (for me lol) . All the BEST ! is released in Japan I'm so going to call HMV tonight to ask them about news regarding the album I hope the LE will arrive today if not tomorrow *prays |
i'm so so excited for the sales! i don't think i'll be able to sleep! (well, i probbably will, but...i'm just so excited!) :laugh
|
Karen, you bought the Japan LE version? I thought you were getting the OS, too!
|
oh god this thing is so expensive it hurts my wallet
im going to wait until they have in yesasia |
Oh God, I can't wait any longer to receive my CD! :no But it seems my order is STILL IN SHIPPING PROCESS... :( Guess it'll be shipped today and hopefully, I will be able to receive it till Saturday coz I will be out-of-town this Sunday and won't be back till Saturday next week... :no And i do hope it won't be subject to customs tax! I don't want no more delays! I just wanna get hold of my CD NOW! And most importantly, I dont wanna shed off more money to pay customs! Ugghhh! :mad
|
Quote:
Quote:
soon assuming if stock for it were to come this week & yes I did considered to get the OS press but since HMV's bringing in 11 copies + of the limited edition over here , why not ? :laugh despite the future big hole in my pocket ugh :dead2 |
Quote:
you will get it soon like karen says its already sold in japan jesus so lucky!! |
lol nothing but the best for ARASHI :laugh
|
Quote:
|
my order has been shipped today :yatta
I can't wait to receive it :bchuck the LE package is <3 (*-*) eeeehh. wait the album also leaked? and I can't download it before tomorrow :weep |
:weep
all the talk of everyone's orders being shipped makes me so sad!! i want the OS now!! :weep |
Quote:
you just ripped the singles from them & then ta-dah & that goes for the 3rd disc too the only thing missing's 5x10 & the hidden track Quote:
I do hope it's true , so far nothing's firmed up on avex Taiwan's end EDIT - OMG someone from HMV called me earlier on to say that the limited & regular editions of All the BEST ! are IN already from Japan :thud I'm going to collect my LE copy tomorrow since only 5 copies were brought in & the staff over the phone was so kind enough to reserve the last LE copy for me since I keep going to HMV so often to extent that she recongised me LMFAO :lmfao it will set me for S$84.95 :dead2 :dead2 & the regular's going for S$66.95 T_T I really wished that I was able to get 2-3 more copies of the LE for you guys (Eirynne , Lisa & Kaori) but I do hope you understand :( at most I can get the Taiwan press for you next month in which that can do :D OMG I'm so excited now :smitten & I was told that the packaging for the RE & LE are different RE's being housed in a standard CD casing while the LE's of course a digipak from the preview photos that were uploaded a while back ago === 1st day sales for All the BEST ! http://i26.tinypic.com/2qjen2r.jpg http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/ real healthy at 261,076 copies sold on the 1st day & :O at BIG BANG !'s sales tally at #2 with 12,084 it's pretty much another #1 in the bag for the guys :heart |
^ Do you remember what the first day sales were for their most recent album?
|
Quote:
sales tally for both were really low/bad . Like for ARASHI's 2nd compilation album 5×5 The Best Selection of 2002←2004 , last I checked , it only moved 187,526* while their 1st one ARASHI Single Collection 1999–2001 , only cleared 154,676* :dead2 if you're talking about Dream"A"live , its 1st day sales were 86,692 |
^ I meant Dream A Live. :) Well, at least this got significantly more. I don't know if it'll be enough to sell a million, but it'll all depend on how the sales hold up.
|
Quote:
frankly to me I don't think you should compare the 1st day sales of a studio album against a compilation album since it's not often a 10th year anniversary compilation album's released if you know what I mean :yes ugh I can't wait to get my 3CDs limited edition soon , either tonight or tomorrow locally :smitten |
^ Yeah of course not, but it at least shows that since Dream A Live, they've picked up a significant amount of fans that are willing to buy their albums.
|
Quote:
I frankly can't remember some of their older works like Kimi no Tame ni Boku ga Iru & Nice na Kokoroiki but given enough time & listens , I can haha but I do know all their singles from PIKANCHI DOUBLE onwards :yes |
^ I got used to the old songs through watching their lives over and over. :)
Some Arashi sites are reporting that they sold slightly more than Supermarket Fantasy's first day, and some are saying slightly lower. haha. It's somewhere around there. |
well I don't know what was the 1st day sales of Mr.Children's SUPERMARKET FANTASY but assuming that sales for All the BEST ! continues to keep up & not flag drastically , I think it's quite easy for them to clear 400K & above
I can't wait to get my copy tomorrow from HMV & I was told by the staff I was 1 of the lucky 10-11 who manage to secure a copy since so few copies of the LE were brought in to be sold here from Japan & yeah ick the demand for it's so high @_@ . I wanted to go down today but I caught a bad cold earlier on in the morning when I was doing my Finance final exam paper T_T I should go to bed now XD |
get well soon, karen dear! my copy still hasn't shipped. stuck with "in shipping process" status... sucks! i am getting angry now with CDJapan! LOL! :D
|
Quote:
this piece of news will make Eirynne , Lisa & Kaori very happy XD I was browsing though HMV HK's site & they already have the links up to preorder the Taiwan press of All the BEST ! & it will be released via their site on 1st Sept which's a Tue :thud regular edition - http://www.hmv.com.hk/product/japanese.asp?sku=747555 limited edition - http://www.hmv.com.hk/product/japanese.asp?sku=747554 So now instead of 11th Sept supposedly , it has been changed & bumped up to 1st Sept in Hong Kong I don't know if it's the same for Taiwan but we'll see about it & man they even listed down the catalogue no.s for both editions too :thud |
Quote:
where did karen got hers? |
Quote:
And this BEST album will probably help all the casual listeners get more into their older songs and buy their older albums. Arashi's first works weren't bad at all! That's why I always find it weird when people don't listen to them. You're missing out~ :P |
who wouldnt listen to their old songs
arashi is for dream:laugh jesus that song is just :heart for me |
amazing sales for today, although i admit to setting my expectations way too high (like 500k first day, LOL) keep going, guys! :love
|
way to high lisa shhhh but you know they will do it :hi5
|
haha yea, i knew my prediction would be totally OFF :dead2 but i'm still very satisfied with these sales. please pass the million! :weep
|
woah....
i thought first day would be at least 500,000... i wonder if this will actually pass 1 million? it'll take a little longer than I thought it would if it does. i'm still pretty sure it will though haha. |
not as high as i thought it could be...
its their average number for single too looks like boysbans album is not selling that well in japan... |
i'm hoping / feeling that we might get another 200k day tomorrow? :D Wishful thinking? lol
|
I thought if it would really release over half a million in the first day...how come?
|
I think half a mill on the first day is too much to expect of anyone. :) If it beat Mr. Children's first day, then thats already a huge accomplishment.

Quote:
|
^it outsold what most JE groups albums sell in total. :yes And it's close to outselling their passed two studio albums already. it's doing really well. :yes

there're 2 stores in here that's why Quote:

put a sock in it AyuGAME :rolleyes if you don't know how the Johnny entertainment business works in Japan in that it's a norm that Johnny's albums don't sell as good/well as their singles , then keep your comments to yourself somemore the fact that virtually no or little promo's done when comes to Johnny's albums , it's saying something on how the 1st day sales of All the BEST ! is able to clear 261K :rolleyes you just make me & Lisa real annoyed at such comments that you don't back up with proof at all === *calm down .... I'm going to get my LE copy of All the BEST ! later from my uncle which he bought it on my behalf :D will take pics of it later on |
lucky karen :grumpy
|
deep breath, karen! :laugh
can't wait to see the pics! we all envy you now...:mischief |
Quote:
Quote:
the album's already on my hands ! <3 , will take pics after I finished my breakfast (it's 9am here on a Thurs) I hope I wasn't harsh on what I fired back at AyuGAME but it's true , if you don't know your stuff , don't show it off to people you bound to make people like myself who knows what's going on in the entertainment world mad alrightly , here we go , pics time for my LE copy of All the BEST ! :D (I hope I can be pardon for the double posting this time round) Spoiler:
seriously , I can't wait for you guys to get a copy of your own too as the packaging's just top dog :smitten |
:thud
i can't wait, tooooo! omg i love that bus :laugh the colors of the CDs are so cute! |
Quote:
in the photobook , the guys are posing with the bus in the later 1/2 of it man I really can't wait for you to get a copy soon Lisa & that goes for Eirynne & Kaori :D === top 50 singles *1 *,653,261 ***,482 Believe/曇りのち、快晴 / 嵐、矢野健太 starring Satoshi Ohno 09/03/04 *2 *,616,967 **1,257 明日の記憶/Crazy Moon～キミ・ハ・ムテキ～ / 嵐 09/05/27 *4 *,403,061 **3,066 Everything / 嵐 09/07/01 Everything has crossed 400K :heart & Kaori please don't be lazy , update the 1st post :P |
i still hope it'll get #3 by the end of the year :P
|
wow...ok...suprised me a lot that people get mad because of that line
i'm sorry but there is a missunderstand here... i'm comparing boysband album sales with boysband single sales i'm NOT comparing their album sales with other female singer or male singer or band album sales... example kattun their latest single "rescue" sold 350k while their latest album sold 250k another example kanjani 8 their latest single sold 400k while their latest album sold 250k another example arashi their latest single sold 400k while their latest album sold 320k from that FACT, we can see that usually their album sold less or similar with their single sales its different with soloist or band, like ayu her single sold 200k but her album sold 375k...its higher number that's why i said that line, please crosscheck first before saying something... and i know a lot about this jpop world karen and Beauty4123, i have been around here and this jpop world FOR a long-long-long time! please give more respect...thank you and for separate note, i'm big fans of arashi, they are the only boysband that i liked... |
well I apologise but the way that you mentioned about this issue a few posts back , it made it looked like you were plucking facts & etc outta the sky & all
besides all this comparison against a non Johnny artiste & a Johnny artiste against their sales & albums , it doesn't get you anything at the end of the day everyone who's a Johnny's know it all knows that all this time , albums sales for a Johnny's band is not as strong as a single with that , I rest my case |
As of this morning, my order is still "in shipping process" now I'm pissed! :mad
|
It's OK AyuGame! I just think people weren't sure what you meant since you sort of worded it in a way that could be rude! Don't worry about it! :D
And seriously Karen - I'm so jealous right now. It looks beyond amazing. I need September now. I need this album. :weep I'm so glad my friend is helping me out! :weep |
Quote:
may I ask where are you residing ? Quote:
I suspect AyuGAME's 1st language's not English that's why I probably misunderstood on what he said & with that I apologise Quote:
& eh is this friend you're referring to about , is it me in question ? :tired O_O |
Never listened to the band, but the packaging is sexy. Minus that ugly bus.

Kaori's good at doing this kinda 'thing' so I leave it to her LMAO oh I want to add somemore things with regs to the packaging of All the BEST ! in the photobook which has lyrics of the 10 songs that the guys specially picked , the lyrics are on the left side of the book where on the right , they wrote as to why they chose so & so to be in the ARASHI's Selection (disc 3) |
Quote:
and :bchuck, i meant you karen! |
Quote:
yeah somehow I have the feeling you're referring to me I already told Cliff to get 3 copies (1 each for Lisa , Eirynne & you) & put them on standby mode when it will be released next month in Taiwan since it's cheaper to get it though him instead on online sites now the OS press release date's supposedly been bumped up from Sept 11th to 1st for Hong Kong's case from the info that I got from HMV HK's site hope that's true for Taiwan , will be even better if it's earlier |
So I already contacted CDJapan and they told me that my parcel is about to be picked up by the post office "in a few hours" and they will send me a confirmation message once it's completed. I really hate waiting... Haha! :D
