Current status for Johnny's competition:
- ARASHI - OK (Løve Rainbow: 9/8, also with an "unknown title" song, which is a B-side...)
- SMAP - OK (This is love: just released 8/4, currently in progress)
- NEWS - OK (annoucing a new album called "LIVE"; don't know when that will release...)
- KAT-TUN - OK (nothing busy right now, except for kicking out Akanishi Jin)
- Others? We don't know...
And there seems to be no word of competition from Kobukuro, Hexagon All Stars, AKB48 or something else... AKB48 is releasing two new singles, but that starts a month after Ayu's single madness...
