Most likely not. But you never want to say never because sometimes sales do strange things.

Also, to add more info to a topic a couple of pages ago about KAT-TUN 8 straight days at the Tokyo Dome: according to articles, all 440,000 seats sold out in one day.(actually the article states that they all sold out in minutes!) They have now also added 2 additional Tokyo Dome dates.

Actually drinking and smoking underage is such a big deal in Japan, it is probably dealt with more harshly than public indecency. Also, Kusano was no where near the fame level of Kusanagi. That may just be the SMAP fan in me hoping for the best though. And yes, I think an Arashi best of could sell huge and kind of break the standard of low selling Johnny's albums simply because its only now that a lot of people are noticing their past singles and did not buy them originally.
