I saw this posted moments on this comm before it was deleted, but someone kindly directed us to an article in Oricon news about Arashi's single, and when I tried to reply it with a translation it was already deleted, so please let me share it with all of you here...:)

Original article here

Oricon news: "Arashi's new single, already this year's 4th best selling single on its release date"

The popular group Arashi's new single "Believe/Kumori nochi, Kaisei" debuted at Oricon Daily Ranking's top spot on March 3rd. It had record sales of 215,000, and only in its release date it made it to 2009's 4th best selling single, behind Akimoto Junko's "Ai no mama de..." (sales to date 336,000 since Jan 2008), Kat-tun's "ONE DROP" (sales to date 315,000 since Feb 2009), Shuchishin's "Yowamushi Santa" (sales to date 231,000 since Dec 2008).

Arashi/Yano Kenta starring Satoshi Ohno's "Believe/Kumori nochi, Kaisei" are both theme songs of the movie "Yatterman" (airing March 7th) starring member Sakurai Sho and TV Asahi Drama "Uta no Oniisan" starring Leader, Ohno Satoshi. Right now, it is only 121,000 copies away from 2009's most popular single Akimoto Junko's "Ai no mama de...," so depending on the sales from now on, it may break "Ai no mama de..."'s record sales and become this year's top selling single in just one week's time.


...and the rest is about another band in the album ranking (´Д`*

Congratulations!! I predict another prize for being one of the best singles (if not THE best single) for the boys at the end of the year (*゚▽゚)ノ

I'm kinda doki doki whether they're going to release something like that of 5x5 dvd special, if they do I hope they produce more copies than the usual ^^ but yeah.. maybe a special single will do, since i'm still out of a job, not sure if i can afford the dvd anyways :/

still.. pretty exciting waiting what else the guys gonna come out with right? ^__^

wowww!! that's a great sign anw
it s considered arashi's another good job for me!
becos usually arashi's singles didnt make a large number of selling except the singles last yrs which are ost for their damn popular movie like hanayoridango n truth which conclude both ost for the devil n another song for olympic. ^^

amazing arashi!
now i feel guilty for not getting this single.
but then, as this is the 10th year anniversary, i'm sure they'll come up with more wallet-breaking schemes, enough to make me forget i ever felt guilty not buying this single XD
