[Charts & Rankings] Oricon 2008 thread II

Gooo Paafumu!

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Aww. DD: I didn't say it in engrish right.

[KarenPang]

I wonder if it's possible for Ken to hantam B'z when he release his recut single next Wed

somehow I doubt it but let's say how things goes

[ayu_fan929]

I say THSK or Shuchishin #1 next week.

GO THSK!

[criminal]

I hope Perfume can make it to the top with this album and have a long lasting popularity. D:

[Uemarasan]

Man, Hikki fans really are the most rabid on the Internet...

Why can't people accept the fact that she isn't as popular now as she was a few years back? That doesn't mean her music is necessarily worse.

The new Evangelion movie and Hana Yori Dango 2 were both huge hits in Japan. It's silly to pretend that they didn't influence the sales of her singles and album. What do you think happened to her Heart Station single, which didn't even sell more than 100 K? No tie in, no money, honey.

Sales... does...not...equal... good music... Wash, rinse, repeat.

Of course, I think HS is not a very good album. At least no one will say it's her worst. That honor belongs to Exodus, which is now enjoying its life as a coaster on my table.

yeahh finally perfume will win

I loved that album.

Anyway, Goooooo Pafyumu!!!! LOL. I'm glad they've finally reached popularity

[TITANIC]

today 60s70s80s move up to #6
MW still #8
sobani iru ne #10

[Luv ~Venus~]

Yay for 60s70s80s (Can we find a shorter way to abreviate this! )! I happy that it's still in the top ten after all this time. Hmmm...charting life seems to be all the rave for singles this year...or something of that sort.

.....trust me, most Hikki fans don't sound as if they wouldn kill themselves if she doesn't sell fanatastically or chart well.

Err....ur late. They have accepted the fact that she isn't as popular now as a few years back.

Err.....we, or at least I, never said that it didn't. With or without the tie-in, it still sold. And c'mon! Are that blind with the Hikki hatin' to see that the reason that it didn't sell because there was no incentive to buy the single. I'll buy MW before I buy HS/SG. At least I'll get my money's worth. Besides, u should know that most of Hikki's sales are driven towards dls. True doesn't sell like she use to physically (we all can't deny that) but digitally, she dominates the charts. Note: This was way before the FoL tie-in, so u can't use that as an excuse as to why her digital sales are high.

Sales... does...not...equal... good music... Wash, rinse, repeat.

That's not what the Japanese think. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Of course, I think HS is not a very good album. At least no one will say it's her worst. That honor belongs to Exodus, which is now enjoying its life as a coaster on my table.

That made me laugh.

Okay, seriously. If u don't like Exodus than your music taste is quite ******.

I dunno, Mariah Carey, Kelly Clarkson, and Xtina have really annoying e-fanbases. Hikki wins if you just look at the Jpop stans.

That's not what the Japanese think. Wash, rinse, repeat.

No honey no one with half a brain thinks commercial success is the only indicator of quality. It's an indicator of good marketing ploys.

That made me laugh.

EXODUS is a horrible album. Her vocals are a mess on every track and most of the lyrics are terrible.

I'm sorry but what is this rant in reponse to? Please take your theories and opinions on her music to the official Hikki thread, no one has been talking about this subject for quite some time
