the movie from what i've read will tie all 3 Gokusen seasons (...so that means i'll have watch G3 then, LMAO), so there could be a MatsuJun cameo. there's surprises, it seems from that Zoomin thing i watched. but i think Odagiri Ryu's the prominent Gokusen alumni in the movie, i guess?

Karen...yeah...i was up to 3 AM "studying".

as for me, i don't think i'll be buying anything for like 10 YEARS (joke). but since K8/KT have been releasing stuff i don't think there won't be anything i need to buy from those 2 in a while (GOOD).

I actually have their whole discography , albums & singles wise . That goes for Eirynne too but she doesn't get multiple versions of the same single like me

Hey, I'm new in this thread
After Karen (btw did you get my recent PM where I said who? lol) suggested me to try KAT-TUN I tried them and I liked what I heard so far.
I got QUEEN OF PIRATES and still didn't hear all of the songs.
My favorite so far is TABOO, it's really dark and I LOVE it <3.
I also liked FATHER/MOTHER it's a cool soothing song ^-^.

Oh yeah MOTHER/FATHER >_<. sorry.
LOL I hope I didn't offence you with the content maybe I should've been a bit careful xD.

Keep the faith is also great, the chorus is really catchy though that's a song I know for sometime I just never listened to it in full but it's really good!
Need to hear the rest and I try the others.

Is break the rules really nothing compared to QUEEN OF PIRATES? =\

oh no you didn't even though I was o_O when I was reading it . I should have kept it though as I accidentally pressed the deleted button @_@

it's quite x-rated xD especially that it's KT related . OK maybe not really that much

Keep the faith's the very 1st KAT-TUN song I heard of them & being a rock chick it was on 1st listen for me & the rest was history

you ask Eirynne & myself . It's SO hard to rank/compare against each other since already the music structure's different since Break the Records (not break the rules lol) has solo material as compared to QUEEN OF PIRATES

for me I like both equally . It's like me liking both ARASHI's Time & ARASHIC at the same time

===

Break the Records 3rd day sales : 17,603

Total sales so far : 89,677 + 59,350 + 17,603 = 166,630

ugh that's a slap in the face again , I really hope at most a 200K for 1st week sales

Break the Records sorry >_< what is it with my today?
I see =D all of the members have solos there?
Even MY koki and jin?

The sales are kind of expected from KAT-TUN, it really reminds NEXT LEVEL just with lower numbers each day ._....
I'm sure it will sell at least 250,000-280,000 though! At least I hope.

ahahaha yes yes

Break the Records's actually the 2nd album of theirs to feature solo tunes but you will not find any Akanishi solo on cartoon KAT-TUN II you because he was studying Eng in LA , California for 6 months during that period of time

In Break the Records ; I numbered the track according to the title tracklist :

6) WHITE WORLD (Nakamaru Yuichi's Solo)

Lyrics , music & arrangement : Katsuhiko Sugiyama

7) care (Akanishi Jin's Solo)

Lyrics :Akanishi Jin / Kazunari Ohno 
Music & Arrangement :Noriyoshi Matsushita

the only 'old' song in the album & it's a fan favourite . Eirynne / ll moments ll was having a super hyper fangirl fit when the tracklist for the album was revealed

8) 1582 (Kamenashi Kazuya's Solo)

Lyrics : n
Music :M.Y 
Arrangement : Yuichi Hamatsu

Eirynne went full speed back to Kame after hearing this HAHAHAHAHA

9) PIERROT (Tanaka Koki's Solo)

Lyrics : JOKER
Music : Atsushi / JOKER
Arrangement : Atsushi

JOKER's Tanaka's pen name when comes to him writing rap lyrics in the group

10) Hana no Mau Machi [The Town Of Dancing Flowers] (Ueda Tatsuya's Solo)

Lyrics & Music : Ueda Tatsuya 
Arrangement :kao

Tat-chan wrote/composed this during his 1st stageplay Romeo & Juliet & you can detect some R&J influences in here

11) WIND (Taguchi Junnosuke's Solo)

Lyrics : Taguchi Junnosuke 
Music : Taguchi Junnosuke / Gin Kitagawa
Arrangement : Gin Kitagawa

1st solo that he wrote & co-composed

Quote:

it always has been the norm for Johnny's albums to sell less than its singles counterparts anyway

it's sad because both QUEEN OF PIRATES & Break the Records are just so good

then again you can't blame the fangirls because the guys will be performing at Tokyo Dome in exactly 2 weeks's time for 8 straight days & everyday will have a different theme , costume & stage getup going on so you can imagine

It's a shame that the singles are doing better than the albums.
Albums are so much better and it seems JE is doing a better effort for singles than albums which is kind of wierd since they get more profits for albums (since they are more expensive) and if they would sell less singles more people would buy the albums probably (like the usual most of the times for non JE artists).

Maybe we wouldn't see JE releases on top 10 singles (unless if it's 1 or something) but we would on top 10 on albums maybe =D.

Thank you for the list I will check Break the Records out after I finish with QUEEN OF PIRATES. ^^

XD Karen, are you the biggest KAT-TUN (kame? XD) fan on this forum I wonder?

Must say Break the Records isn't disappointing at all~ just a tad disappointed with Koki's solo. Nakamaru REALLY surprised me with his flawless solo. O_O

it always has been the norm for Johnny's albums to sell worst than singles . Fangirls are not really rich *points to Eirynne , Dila & myself lmao*

an album in Japan cost about 2-3 times more than a single & also I realised extensive promo's usually given before a Johnny single's released as compared to an album

somemore you have no problems putting out multiple versions of singles unlike albums as fangirls are more responsive & willing to buy , single wise

if a Johnny's album can break 300K , it's already considered good on their end

QUEEN OF PIRATES was the very 1st Johnny's album I listened to when I started my Johnny's journey last April/May & the rest's history

I considered it to be my fave album of last year & the same thing might go for Break the Records too , Johnny's wise

I have to say Johnny's wise because I listen to non Johnny's artistes as well

nooo I don't think so . That should go to Eirynne / ll moments ll . She has been a fan of them for even longer than I do . I only started last year .

I'm just a squat as compared to her haha & she's Kame's wife on here while I'm his mistress

Tanaka - . When I 1st heard PIERROT , I was laughing -_-''' & my younger sister said that it sounded like a Pokemon / Beyblade tune

Nakamaru - me too O_O
