What's the deal with Arashi? They're just releasing ONLY ONE SONG (plus instrumental of it - "To be free"), and they're about to release a new album also, so what? And they only have one version - it's only a two-disc CD+DVD version!

they have huge fangirls.its not that they won't sell much because of the single contain only 1 song.its the fans who are like ayu's fans who want to buy it as collection.

it's To be free that will only be released in CD + DVD & this time round it's not limited . There's a 1st press bonus & this's the limited aspect of things for someone who say that he has been following ARASHI since late 2007 , you seem to me that you don't get your facts right most of the time & I myself follow the guys since mid 2008 Quote:
I was a crazy Johnny's fangirl . I'm glad I'm not in that league anymore but like what Pei Yee said , fangirls will get their singles , be it whether there's 1 song or whatever for collector's sake

Let's not turn this into a "I KNOW MORE ABOUT THEM" topic >.<.
Considering Johnny's artists reputation for strongly dropping sales in the second week, I don't see this as a matter of concern. Only if their first week for To be Free is A LOT higher than Troublemaker and MONSTER will I start to worry. |

lol honestly something will be really wrong if the 1st week sales for To be free will be on par if not higher than Monster & Troublemaker D:
To be free doesn't have a strong tie in other than it being used in the ad of Asahi's Mitsuya Cider soft drink which Sakura Sho appeared in & it's only released in 1 edition Monster & Troublemaker were different as they had drama tie in & were released in 2 editions

But I personally really don't care about this so-called competition between artists. I'm proud of Ayu, no matter how much she sells. She is my favourite Japanese artist and I love her. I don't care if she is #1, #10 or #75. As long as her music stays the way it is (on the same high level), everything is fine. I don't care for numbers!!

Haha, of course. My obsession with her position and her record and her sales have nothing to do with how much I like her. As long as she keeps making music that's this awesome I won't complain <3
(Besides, it's not like she's doing terrible. Look at other artists from her era that sold amazingly in the beginning ... Mai Kuraki, MISIA ... they're struggling to sell over 100k in albums and their singles, don't even get me started on those.) |

Honestly, its more a question of how much of Sunrise's sales can Ayu retain and not how much can Arashi sell in their second week. Ayu's sales can't drop more than 5k for this release, otherwise Arashi has a legitimate shot. But with 4 versions and Arashi's single not having a strong tie in, it's probably fine. While they definitely have fan girls - just like any other boyband - these days all kinds of people buy their stuff. Even a few of the male teachers at my schools (who are all 40+) have bought Arashi's last couple of singles. Last edited by SunshineSlayer; 7th June 2010 at 11:10 AM. |

I wasn't trying to be a show off that I know more than the average person when comes to Johnny's or non Johnny's when comes to information for Bigtop to say that he has been an ARASHI fan longer than me but yet the type of answer/replies he gave is saying something otherwise & this's not the 1st time something like that has happened , I've seen similar type of replies he gave in the Johnny's threads on here Quote:

quite a big bulk of their fanbase doesn't centres on school girls anymore . Now it has been somewhat shifted to women who're old enough to be my mum & let alone my aunt X_X & then now it's guys too D: This's the group of people that has even more spending power than a poor student like me .__.

Ayu does great! I'm always so proud of her!! I just meant, that I normally don't look up how much she sells, because I just don't care about it. For me, she is the best and she will always stay the best!

^ I think its fine if she isn't number 1 too. I'm just excited that there is actually a bit of competition on the charts for once; makes things more interesting.

Yeah, at least the singles charts tend to be quite competitive unlike the album charts and I am really curious to see how and will AVEX boost the promotion.
