Japanese fans are contemplating on social media right now.
They picked the winners for the LINE Music x GOLDFINGER 2019 campaign.
And it looks like they randomly picked from everybody participating with their account instead of going with the ones who really listened to it the most (or went with people with the most percentage change, not plays?).
So even people with just about 2000 plays won, even though there are quite a lot with more.
They didn't release the names of the winners and their playcounts, fans are posting about it themselves and are wondering about it.
They actually didn't say in the news about it that the ones with most plays are the winners, only who listens a lot, everyone just assumed it would be (me included, haha). They did say they announce the winner November 20 through LINE message and they did.
Everybody participating gets an exclusive LINE profile pic at a later date tho.

Kuu sent fruits to Sagan Tosu for their next game.



She also sent flowers to a GYDA store opening (didn't screencap).

I just didn't expect first-week sales to be so close to AND & DNA considering the fact that those two albums were full of new material and there are only 5 new songs on re(CORD), and all music videos are available for free on YouTube. Maybe this non-stop GOLDFINGER 2019 promo is working, or drama tie-in helped, or the good majority of the fans bought a physical copy.
I'd say with all those results from the 1st week, it seems like more people are streaming the album, less are buying it.

Seeing her with all those other artists - I really want another collab album to happen. This time with actual new collab songs, not a compilation.
Would be awesome.

Kenji went with her to Tohoshinki's tour - and he was really happy, cause they performed all 3 songs he wrote for them for their new album.
A successful album, close to hit 180k of physical sales rn.
It's interesting how popular Tohoshinki still is.
