Arashi – All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009 #1 on the charts

by Fiona

The latest KinKi Kids single, “Swan Song,” ranked #1 on the charts this past week with more than 160,000 in sales. This is their 29th consecutive number-one single, starting with their debut in 1997.

UVERworld’s newest song was #2 on the charts, followed by Nana Mizuki and Morning Musume. BoA also made the top ten with her new single at #8.

On the albums chart, Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” was #1, selling close to 74,000 copies. Also in the top ten were The Gospellers (#2), The Cro-Magnons (#5), JAY’ED (#6), Junichi Inagaki (#9), and Chihiro Onitsuka (#10).

Meanwhile, Arashi’s new DVD “5×10 All the BEST! CLIPS 1999-2009” took the top spot on the overall DVD charts. At 428,000 copies sold, it set the record for highest first-week sales of a music DVD, surpassing the 374,000 of KAT-TUN’s “Real Face Film” in 2006.

Congratulations, 428,000 copies sold is truly unbelievable and this is only for a PV DVD!! Simply astonishing since they were able to break their own sales record, previously #1 was the AAA 2008 DVD. Arashi is going to dominate all three Oricion charts which year, this would be for the single, album and DVD categories.

New AU CMs featuring Arashi as a group

by Fiona

Happy November, minna-san! Autumn is certainly upon us — the chilly mornings and the lovely colors of the leaves on the trees. It is my second favorite season, the temperature is just right, not too hot nor cold. The Fall foliage is a treat not to miss. I’ll need to take some picture before all the leaves are gone for good. Hope all is well for you and good luck to those who returned to school and/or have turned a new chapter in life.

I was browsing through Youtube like most days and stumble upon the new AU CMs. They are so adorable and love that the entire group is featured in each one.
