The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
The Arashi-anniversary year is over =D
So another round of "JE dominating the charts for at least two month" starts
Seriously, we had this before, but it's quite.. much this time
03.02 Tokio - advance/Mata Asa ga Kuru
10.02 KAT-TUN - Love Yourself
24.02 HSJ! - Hitomi no Screen
24.02 Imai Tsubasa - Backborne (DVD)
03.03 Arashi - Troublemaker
10.03 Takki - Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei (DVD)
24.03 31.03 NEWS - Sakura Girl
31.03 V6 - Ready? (Album)
31.03 Kanjani 8 - Countdown 2009-2010 in Kyocera Dome (DVD)
Let's see.. we know JE's manipulating the Oricon Charts anyway, so there will be JE groups being on rank #1 of the charts for 2 month permanently.
If you take a closer look, it becomes obvious how JE likes to privilege certain bands. and really, it's not that subtle this time.
Normally, they tend to release one CD a week, so in the next week, there will be the next group replacing the former group from being #1. The former group will stay in the top ten for a couple of days, maybe weeks and at some point vanish from the charts, like always.
But take a look at which groups do not have any other 'sale-rivaling'-group following the next week.
First we have KAT-TUN. They have 2 weeks to lead the charts with this amazingly lame song and then to be replaced by Hitomi no Screen (gosh, HSJ is finally having a new single, this time gay dancing, purple pants and nailpolish is included =D)
After HSJ celebrates there come-back and are finally out of nailpolish, we have Arashi releasing another single :3 Not that they released enough singles during the last year
and... ooh, now there will be THREE DAMN WEEKS during which no group will be releasing anything (well, except for Takki's DVD, but.. that's a DVD, they have their own charts)
Following after three arashi-dominated weeks, News will be releasing Sakura Girl.. maybe they want to make up to News for not giving them any attention lately, so they kindly allow them to lead the charts for two weeks =D
.. but, oh wait, isn't there a kanjani8 dvd announced to be released only a week later?
Don't know about you, but I'll save my money to buy this (hopefully SO damn amazing) DVD instead of buying a lame single...
poor News? D:
..well, at least that's my opinion. Correct me, if I'm wrong
Edit:
Kay, now I lol'd.
The release of News' Sakura Girl single is rescheduled to the 31th of March..
Rumors say it's because a new single by TVXQ was announced to be released on March 24th..
..Seriously, I love Johnny's Entertainment.. it never fails to amuse me
