^A lot of First Love's success (the single I mean) had to do with Majo no Joken. That show had major star power and it was controversial; its how I was first introduced to Utada at least.
Nooooo. Putting my Arashi-fanness to the side, I don't see that happening. Tohoshinki is very much rooted in the obsessed pre-teen/teen girl fanbase whereas Arashi has that too, but has also expanded beyond that - you can see in the extreme longevity their releases have had and in how often their old products have been reentering the charts.

^ lol I know, I know and I personally liked the last few arashi singles better, as DBSK have wondered into the land of really generic stuff with the last couple of singles. I just wish arashi could pull another Tokei jikkake no umbrella with the new single, or at least something more "creative" and less cheesy I don't mind them at all

^ Yeah, I agree. Getting a bit off topic here, haha, but I've been saying in the Arashi thread that I feel their singles this year have been very safe sounding. They had much more creative singles in the past. The b-sides though for My Girl were great though.

Well... First Love was a recut single... and even if it sales were good, the single failed on charting on years-ending top100... Maybe the success of Majo no Joken really affected the album sales, cuz that was the only way to get the song... +- like Ayu with A Song for XX^^

^ Ahh yes, I forgot the single was actually a recut - so what I said applies to the album instead.

And apparently, fans all around the world are trying to get them above 500k+ in single sales, which I find rather disturbing, but I suppose that since the group is on the verge of splitting up, that's what people feel like doing. (Also, they're famous for dropping very heavily from first day sales of 100k+ to fifth day sales of like, 3k-5k.) People talk as though the You were... / BALLAD is gonna stop charting after next week... but I think it'll probably last at least 2-3 more weeks in the top 100 somewhere.

What I've always heard about Utada Hikaru is that apparently R&B was pratically unexistant in Japan before she came along, so she gained lots and lots of attention for bringing something that sounded completely fresh. Dunno if it's true.
(I think crazy Utada fans are a lot scarier than Ayu or boyband ones because some can be total elitists with the whole "she-is-more-talented-than-u" stuff.) |

Anyway I hope next Ayu's album will do better than NEXT LEVEL, if it's true that she's going back to her usual self... Even though I have nothing against new genre as long as I like it ... |

With the way that they both sell, it's unlikely that she will ever overtake them.

^ What is SAS's most recent overall total?

47-49 million, I guess? I don't think they sold 2 million copies in the last 2 years considering I AM YOUR SINGER or whatever sold about 600k before the hiatus...
