As the title suggests, Arashi's latest concert DVD "ARASHI AROUND ASIA 2008 in Tokyo" sold 230,000 copies in its first week, beating out EXILE's DVD from the week before (with 214,000 copies sold) to take the record of achieving the third highest first week sales in history.

For those curious, the reigning top spot is taken by KAT-TUN's "Real Face Film" with 372,000 copies, followed by SMAP's "Live MIJ" with 281,000 copies in 2nd place. Congratulations, Arashi! ♥

I think the not so high number of copies sold (although 230,000 is already amazing) is because there is no limited edition for the DVD.

I personally held off buying this one because I'm saving money. However, if there's a limited edition, I'd definitely preorder it.

Well, a little disappointed when i realised they are behind Kat-tun.

But this only mean for 1st week sale right? so Arashi may still win the overall sales total .

Let's hope for the best !

Do note that they're 3rd for first week sales of music DVDs only.

And we can kick KAT-TUN out because their "Real Face Film" was a 2500yen single disc with the Real Face PV and making-of only -- a rather lame excuse for a music DVD.

Arashi would be in second place if we consider first week sales of real concert music DVDs only. SMAP's record of 281,000 for "Live MIJ" is just insane. XD

Ok!!!..But Whatever soo whatever!!!...Arashi top the DVD for 3rd consecutive weeks and it's the first time in the history of both music Dvd and comprehensive sales Yo!!!..and i think they will still made it for the 4th!!!..and will set another history!!!...it's like it's not only Kattun that make history lol!!!

The Dvd is soo expensive compared to Kattun...the AAA Dvd price is doubled!!!
