^ Without the annoying jumping fangirls too. Phew.

-EDIT-

I just heard Share and it sounds darn good! I hope it becomes an actual A-Side or on the next album.

KarenPang · #**482** 2nd May 2009, 03:58 AM

as expected Wendy has subbed the talk/mini music station suite already

is it me or I oddly find that the live version of Share somewhat sounded like a studio track ?

jiarongisme · #**483** 2nd May 2009, 04:12 AM

^ Well, they just enhanced it and made it sound as high quality as possible. Like NEXT LEVEL's CD2's contents.

They could've recorded from the microphones themselves. Another possibility is that they lip-synced in the concert. XD

well hopefully Share will be made into a studio track in due time even though I consider it as the weakest B-side outta the 3

took me a while to remember how it sounded like

As promised, here are the photos I've taken from my Koi no ABO LE. It's awesome!

Spoiler:

I guess there's no need for pics of the booklet since scans are already upload.

KarenPang · #**486** 2nd May 2009, 10:22 AM

I like the designs of the CD & DVD's discs xD

I'm waiting for the OS press to roll out on 19th in Taiwan so that I can get my hands on the CD + DVD

I probably wait for the CD only when stock comes here or maybe I get it from HMV Japan

Wendy has subbed somemore news clips on well NEWS - http://newshfan.livejournal.com/97096.html

This year's 24 Hours TV theme is START ~Take the first step~

Quote:

Shige sounds a bit like he carries a grudge against Arashi for the way they were the hosts last year when he thought NEWS would have done

oops

& YAY for news on Shige's sex addict role

Quote:

Shige is doing a play where he plays a sex addict who sleeps with 4 different women during the course of the show. The bit I liked best was hearing that Shige gets killed off in this play! Shige fail for the win! He doesn't even get to live through his first time in the leading role...! LOL He also swears that he doesn't sleep around... unless he loves the person first.

wow 4 different women lmao

===

Koi no ABO 4th Day sales : 10,309

Total sales : 112,153 + 65,588 + 18,709 + 10,309 = 206,759

YAY for a 200K+ for 1st week

~Inori~ · #**487** 2nd May 2009, 11:39 AM

They beat Happy Birthday and Summer Time's debut sales. Yay

ka♡ri. · #**488** 2nd May 2009, 02:35 PM

This single doesn't even deserve to outsell SUMMER TIME. I wish it had sold like - 110k or something. But I guess NEWS fans were waiting for something new and they all bought this! Hopefully it keeps dropping.

minna · #**489** 2nd May 2009, 02:45 PM

thanks for the pics jia

it's awesome

shige is definitly not resting...4 women XDDDD

Beauty4123 · #**490** 2nd May 2009, 03:41 PM

LOL shige's stageplay is just priceless

thanks for the koi no ABO scans. they surprisingly look great.

and wow, now i'm really shocked at the sales, too.

@ Shige

frankly I'm happy for NEWS . I guess the fans have spoken in Japan that they like Koi no ABO more or less , I don't see all the un-necessary hatred towards such a fun song & that goes for SUMMER TIME & let alone for Taiyou no Namida too

ANYWAY *shrugs* I don't want to start another fight on here since I see all 12 Johnny's acts that I support talented in their own respective right cos my days of going so & so's better than the other's more or less over

Yamapi to be a new drama ?! http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/4099759.html

Well put Karen.

. I can only say the reason for the hatred-well I'll say dislike of the song is because it isn't NEWS. Which brings up the question what is NEWS anyway? They sing pretty much anything, so I really don't know what makes this song different from the others.

yeah Koi no ABO's something unexpected , it probably something Kanjani8 will put out

I put it down to Ryo influencing the rest with too much Kansai humour lmao

That's the unfortunate thing with NEWS . They don't have an unique music niche which probably is hard for me to tell other non NEWS listeners as to what's their music forte's unlike KAT-TUN & Kanjani8 where they have their own music niche going on in both bands

With that said , even I can't pinpoint exactly what type of music Tackey & Tsubasa & let alone V6 does too . I guess all 3 all fall under the same umbrella in that they all experiment a lot & the final product that they put out can be good or bad

jiarongisme · #**494** 3rd May 2009, 02:07 AM

Duh, this single SHOULD outsell SUMMER TIME. I think there're casual buyers for this single too.

~Inori~ · #**495** 3rd May 2009, 02:32 AM

I have a feeling this is going to be one of their best-selling singles in a long time. I hope the single reach near 300k by the end of the year.

That's one of the reasons why I don't like it. JE obviously doesn't know what direction they want them to go in. And instead of doing regular variety of singles - they just release random things. It's very noticeable and it isn't a good thing. I've been a NEWS fan since 2007, when their music was a lot great. They were varied, but not in an obviously random: HEY HERE! TRY THIS TYPE OF SONG! NEVER MIND THIS DIDN'T SELL WELL - TRY THIS!

I have no problem with TNN or SUMMER TIME (anymore ). I just don't like how NEWS has seemed to - IDK, lost it's way. They barely interest me musically anymore. It makes me frustrated and sad! Hopefully hosting 24hr TV will solidify them as a real group and JE will really focus on them and give them good things. Not dumb pop songs, followed by dumb idiotic songs, and then another dumb pop one.

QFT. Johnny is like treating NEWS as guinea pigs. Like come on! But at least Koi no ABO's cool. XD

Taiyou no Namida almost came close to sell 300k. It only needed to sell like 9k more. Its usually their singles that sell over 210k+ in their first week sell 300k or near it.

OT: I'm thinking of a new avi and sig, Aiba or Ryo? Koki maybe?

Beauty4123 · #**500** 3rd May 2009, 03:54 AM

i prefer aiba or ryo, but that's just me
