I see my last post had lots of good reactions. Maybe it’s true what they say: everyone loves ARASHI, lol. For some reason I didn’t get the same reaction when I posted I turned into a SuJu fangirl (everyone were like “WHY SUPER JUNIOR!? ____ is better!”), but oh well.
Whatever, dreamtiny posted some links of their Music Station appearance. ARASHI performed their new song: Monster. AKB48 was also there, performing Ponytail to Shushu. Let’s watch the performances before they go down LOL.

First: AKB48′s new single:
![]()
![]()
I already watched the PV and stuff but didn’t post about it because I get like 23743279 pageviews when I talk solely about AKB48 and I prefer getting pageviews of things I actually think are good.
Well, I’m already talking about them, so fuck that shit. My opinion: the song is bland as hell and doesn’t deserve to sell as much as it’s selling. But oh well, is this song the one that makes you vote for the next senbatsu? (or was it their next single… dunno). Well there you go. That’s pretty intelligent: make a bad song sell well.
(BTW isn’t that a DBSK member? I swear I read Tohoshinki there. DBSK COME BACK D;)

Now, ARASHI’s performance of their most recent song: Monster.
![]()
![]()
It’s actually pretty amusing to watch both performances right away, because AKB is performing and then 384753497548 girls without name appear and saturate the damn stage with unnecessary girls in uniforms (while some random confetti is thrown like they’re da shit). Then ARASHI performs with the humble quantity of 5 members and do a better job lol. BTW the song is totally amazing, I hope AKB doesn’t outsell them, it’d be so sad. SO SAD.

The reason you didn’t get the same reaction is because Arashi is Jpop and SuJu is Kpop (and you mostly dabble in Jpop and Arashi is Jpop). At least, I think so…
Ponytail -_- I really don’t like the single ugh it so doesn’t deserve the sales it’s getting… but yeah it’s the senbatsu single.
And it is a DBSK/TVXQ member, Junsu released his single this week too. Though he got soundly defeated by the AKB wota.
And Arashi’s performance was so… less ridiculous than the AKB fest. Plus Matsujun’s random on the floor move (I still don’t get it). And they’re so silly.
I don’t think AKB’s going to outsell Arashi’s Troublemaker single (which I liked better than this one because they’re so dorky in the PV), but they’re catching up with Monster’s sales… and they beat Arashi’s first day sales for both Monster and Troublemaker.
LOL at Risako’s cosplaying her character hahaha. All I could think of was that one video I saw with Mai and Koharu cosplaying their characters from Kirarin Revolution…

Yeah but even the people that liked K-pop were like “WELL ___ IS BETTER” bah, even in real life I get those reactions XD
Poor Junsu, got less support than the rest
.
I haven’t watched Troublemaker, but the song is cool. The floor thing in the Monster performance was lol XD and yeah the AKB48 fest was ridiculous D: I was like “NO FUCKIN WAY” when all girls were dancing while some random confetti was thrown XD THEY WERE THE FIRST GROUP DAMMIT that’s something you’d do if they were the last group performing or something XD .
I don’t want AKB to outsell Arashi… never XD

That’s because in Kpop there’s lots and lots of obsessive fans who think their artist is better. Hence, the existence of antifans (whom I dislike immensely).
I feel worse for Yunho/Changmin… they’ve been completely ignored for the three that sued SME -_-;
The video is pretty cool. There are some dorky moments… both times Ohno tries to do something Nino’s just like :shove: HAHA.
Well I wouldn’t mind AKB outselling Arashi… just NOT WITH THIS SINGLE >:( I really don’t think Ponytail was a good single.

I just hope everything’ll be OK for DBSK, it’d be so sad if they disband definitely
And yeah if AKB releases a good single then yeah there it wouldn’t be so sad if they outsell Arashi xD Ponytail just isn’t good enough :/
About the antifans… bah, I hate them too. I adore SuJu but I also like SNSD a lot, I just hope the fans stop hating each other lol.
May 30, 2010 at 3:34 pm
dreamtiny
Yeah
but I guess it really depends on SME and the boys…
Sakura no Shiori wasn’t a bad single, and River wasn’t a bad single and both deserved the sales they got, but this one feels like no real effort was put in to make it exciting.
SNSD has the most united front of antis -_-; it’s kind of ridiculous.

Isn’t Ponytail the single where AKB48 danced in waterproof bras and underwear?
Haha, I’m not really into JPop boy groups, but did one of Arashi act in Hana Yori Dango? He looks familiar. Btw, I hated the casting for the Japanese version of that.

meh, que me da pereza escribir en ingles D: ademas igual me entiendes XDDDD asi que no importa xDD
ahhh! me encanto ese episodio de MS!! es uno de mis programas favoritos!! aunque casi nunca lo entiendo xDD pero vale la pena. Lo que es una lástima es que no se encuentre en tamaños “decentes”, y mas me demoro en bajarme las 4 gigas de la version HD que en salir el siguiente episodio xDDD la parte donde se agarran las nalgas fue totalmente lol
y eehhh creo que ya he dicho muchas veces que para mi los singles de AKB, son muy bleh, comparados con lo que hacen en el teatro. Es más, hace una semana empezó el 5to stage del Team B y cada una de las canciones (incluyendo las dos baladas super aburridas) son mejores que Ponishu. el single tambien tiene tres canciones mas, que tambien son mejores, a excepcion de “Majijo Teppen Blues”, que es genial xD al menos tratan de darnos gusto a todos xD
Para mi, las chicas (no la cancion xp) se merecen los 500k porque todas trabajan demasiado D:. Ademas yo soy fan de las chicas súper impopulares (la más “popular” es Sayaka, y a ella siempre la sacan del senbatsu D:), asi que yo mori de felicidad cuando las vi salir
pueden parecer “innecesarias”, pero ahi es donde esta el verdadero talento de AKB, y si no fuera por ellas y los stages, seria una hater total XD y si necesitan hacer canciones caca, si esas chicas estan bien, y tienen reconocimiento gracias a todo el “hype”, pues listo, caca. Igual las canciones buenas siguen en el teatro (y las SKE) y mientras no me las toquen, no me quejo.
Conclusión: No me gusta que mis artistas preferidos compitan D: pero si va a ser el sencillo #1 del año, que al menos sea algo bueno D: asi que…prefiero Monster, luego de toda la perorata xD aunque parece que a Johnny no le importa mucho…un dia nos sorprenden y resultan haciendo una colaboracion (nah)

ahh y PS: me encanto como Junsu fue el unico que no hizo playback en el show xD creo que una de las cosas en las que superan a algunos artistas jpop es en eso, que nunca, pero nunca, doblan :O Es la verdad.
Y…no entendí el video de Risako xDD, eso si, los lentes le sientan muy bien (porque siempre termindo escribiendo tanto ?D: lo siento!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Ehh los artistas de K-pop sí doblan a veces… yo sí he visto a SuJu por ejemplo doblando xD no sé si Junsu dobló o no, parece ser que no. Aplausos por esom sobre todo porque la performance estuvo cool!
El video de Risako es un comercial que pusieron entremedio del anime en el que Risako dobla a un personaje (del que está actuando ahí)… es el mismo anime en el que está Ogawa Mana: Meccha Mote algo algo xD el personaje de Risako según sé es muy de “soy hermosa porque sé cómo serlo” y creo que en el comercial le pasaron lentes que no estaban al nivel de ella y ella exigió lentes de la marca que promocionan y caca XD

Bueno todas las idols trabajan mucho lol si vamos con eso ºC-ute merece millones de ventas en estos momentos difíciles, que hasta los fans les están dando la espalda x_o xD
Ojalá que hayan varias chicas nuevas en senbatasu, me gustaría ver cómo cambian los singles de esa forma
y sí, he leído en varios lados que las under girls están haciendo canciones mejores que el propio akb lol XD
No digo que las chicas sean innecesarias, creo que lo innecesario fue que en ese preciso momento y en ese lugar hubiesen sacado todo su repertorio y tirado confetti XDDDDDD además el público estaba tan apagado que se vio medio fail :/ (estaba apagado con todos los grupos, en especial con Junsu… pober Junsu)
Me gusta cómo las chicas entraron al escenario eso sí, todas contentas y mirando a la cámara con sonrisas XD son cutes y los uniformes son tan adorables *^* me gusta la ropa que usan la mayoría de las veces XD
Mira si AKB saca un single súper cool no me importaría que vendieran más que Arashi (bueno sí, pero lo aceptaría XD)… pero con Ponytail no
con Liver hubiese estado como “bueno ya” XD
Por cierto, el otro día en un evento de K-pop pusieron Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru lol fue random pero nunca había estado tan contenta de ver a AKB EN MI VIDA xD como no ponían ningún grupo que conocía ver a algún grupo conocido me lleno de felicidad xD luego pusieron Super Junior y ahí morí xD

wow!! en un evento de kpop?? Aqui no hay eventos de kpop!! porqueeeee D: y oohhh Suju es maravilloso, por suerte tengo una amiga que me ha hecho la ”guia” de kpop
asi que cada viernes nos reunimos a ver boybands xD que raro que justo hasta ahora me esten gustando las boybands O_O espero no haber llegado tarde D: como me paso con los Toho D: me volvi fan y ya se habian separado.
Tambien apesta lo de las C-ute D: sabes? a mi me dio mucho fastidio lo que paso con Erika, y todo eso, pero luego pensé que las chicas de C-ute siempre estuvieron a su lado, y que era irrespetuoso con las cinco no seguir apoyándolas, en especial cuando más lo necesitan, algo que está complicado viendo que no les dan canciones buenad d: wtf.
No creo que el senbatsu cambie mucho, o al menos el top 12, es que las chicas populares son demasiado populares xDDD entonces hay muchas que se quedan fuera por falta de espacio…a menos que sus fans locos compren miles de copias. Lo que si es posible que Atsuko no sea la #1, pero quien sabe…lo unico que me importa es que Sayaka entre ;___;
May 30, 2010 at 2:10 am
Valerie
Bueno, sabia que no todo era felicidad, conque ellos tambien doblan XD nada que hacer, pero seguro que Junsu no dobló, no tiene necesidad de hacerlo. Otra cosa que me llamo la atencion fue la letra de su cancion, bastante…hot xD
y no sabia que Risako tuviera un personaje en ese anime!! la verdad no le he visto xDD pero Ogawa Mana es muy bonita :O

Lo de ºC-ute da muchísima rabia! Mira que yo he sido fan de Berryz desde Monkey dance y recuerdo muy bien toda la gente que trataba a Berryz como “inferiores a ºC-ute” y que si te gustaba Berryz era porque aún no le dabas una oportunidad a ºC-ute. Ahora que ºC-ute pasa por momentos difíciles todos y cada uno de esos fans que supuestamente las apoyaban les dan la espalda y ahora que a Berryz les va bien se hacen fans de ellas, como si siempre las hubiesen apoyado. No me gustan esos fans por conveniencia. Es algo así como lo de Momusu-AKB. Ya veremos cuántos de esos “fans hardcore” se quedarán si es que AKB pasa por un momento difícil :/ . Da rabia de sólo leerlos.
SuJu está pasando por momentos difíciles también… yo llegué justo en momentos malos lol. Mi favorito, Kibum, está concentrado en su carrera de actor y no participó para nada en el nuevo álbum. Kangin tuvo problemas de alcohol y se fue a la armada como para castigarse D; Hangeng demandó a SM y empezó su carrera como solista. El próximo año Leeteuk se irá a la armada también… bah ;___; mi pobre SuJu </3 encima DBSK con lo de las demandas y eso… ;_;
Quiero que Atsuko deje de ser #1 XD me cae bien la chica y todo pero omg un cambio por favor *^* no la quiero ver de nuevo en ese trono y a las demás en sillas de plástico xD

Síp Risako hace como 1 mes ó 1 mes y medio que dobla a un personaje en el anime de Mana… es algo así como una rival :3 el personaje es súper frío y “yo soy cool”, totalmente NO RISAKO xD es divertido verla así xD
Ogawa Mana es preciosa, no lo niego. Si algún día hace un dueto con Risako yo moriré xD

ooohh no sabía lo de Super Junior D: que mal, justo ahora que uno se mete en esto del kpop xD yo, no creo que DBSK regrese, y si SM siguen siendo igual de explotadores, pues que no regresen D: a mí me importa la salud de mis idols D:
Y sí, pss en mi caso yo siempre he visto a Berryz y a C-ute como iguales, porque es que, salieron del mismo grupo (H!P Kids), se han presentado juntas, etc. Es muy posible que algunas C-ute hubieran estado en Berryz y viceversa. Supongo que la gente se aburre y se inventa las peleas xDDD Y wow! yo empecé con Jingisukan, por esos tiempos una persona me introdujo a H!P.
De los “fans” convenientes de AKB, hay muchos que no salen del Team A o del senbatsu D: hay gente que ni siquiera sabe quién es Yuka D8 y eso es terrible. También pasa con los no-fans ,que me he cruzado con muchas personas (algunas fans de H!P) que dicen que lo único que vale la pena de AKB es Atsuko, o las no3b o las cogen de tajo de favoritas sin ver más D: así que sí, si no se molestan en conocer lo que realmente hay en el grupo, perfectamente irán a dejarlo cuando las ventas bajen xDDD peor para ellos xD

Arashi was pretty darned awesome there. I hadn’t heard the song before, but it did a lot of weird things like brief key changes that made it interesting and the dance was incredible.
Ponytail’s success has baffled me a bit, largely because it sounds like a theater song. But then again it’s senbatsu election time.
May 30, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Yeah I love Monster, it’s such an amazing song. And they were awesome there
they didn’t need confetti or 29472945724 backdancers *whistle*
As I’ve already said, it’s pretty intelligent what they’re doing. Making a bad and bland song sell well with all the senbatsu shit XD .

They are both excellent groups. Many of the things being said about AKB, I’m sure other people are saying or have said about Arashi. So what if one group outsells the other? Everyone should be happy that there are still groups hitting these kinds of milestones in this day and age. Give some credit to AKB for their recent string of high sales releases. After all, those kinds of sales figures you only usually see on a regular basis with Johnny’s group releases. AKB wotas may be responsible for their strong first day sales, but can’t the same be said about Arashi’s sales too?

AKB48 would have to sell 60k copies in a day to get better first week sales than Arashi’s releases, so I kinda doubt it. But can’t deny the fact of AKB48 starting to threaten Arashi’s domination of the music charts.
I just wish that Arashi would promote their singles more, because they have performed this only twice: a month ago in their own tv-show and week after the release at MStation. Well, maybe they thought that it was enough, since it got a lot of attention being the theme song of Kaibutsu-kun.
May 30, 2010 at 1:57 pm

Yeah I think the fact that it’s for a dorama is good enough but oh well, more performances would also be cool XD
May 30, 2010 at 11:37 pm

At the moment I don’t think Arashi or any of the more popular established Johnny’s group’s “domination” is being threatened. Only recently have AKB48 started seeing high sales figures. Time will tell how consistent their sales will be from this point onwards and how good their staying power is. It would be quite something if most of their future releases see these kinds of figures though. Sadly, statistics and history show that the boy idol industry grosses more sales.

As for Arashi, when I first heard of them, I hated them, but now they’re one of my favorite groups, I suggest you continue listening to them cause they’re awesome. xD Also, you should check out some other JE groups like NEWS.

The Pony song is standard idol crap? and AKB48 is an idol group and they cannot keep calling themselves that unless they they produce idol songs right? So i would like to think that they are just ‘respecting’ their roots this time round and maybe next time they could/would come out with sth to rock the idol world … again … fingers-crossed …
Another thing as an idol group(not a mainstream performing artiste/group) it is logical? to think that the group is doing well because the fans like the girls themselves and less so for the artistry? in their songs so rather than buying singles for the songs themselves think of it as buying singles for the girl(s)
And yes i am a fan of them … and i for one would like to see them stay around for as long as their producer has tricks up his sleeves(2 sleeves not just one sleeve!!! lol) …

I hate AKB spamming lol but I think their Majijo Teppen Blues song and PV WIN at life.
