Translation of the (very short) Oricon article:
Arashi's 27th single, "Everything", makes its debut at #1 on the weekly singles ranking. Released in May, "Ashita no Kioku/Crazy Moon ~kimi wa muteki~" had an initial sales of 502,487 copies, and released in March, "Believe/Kumorinochi, Kaisei" had an initial sales of 501,988 copies; the Arashi who has marked both first and second places in the singles initial sales for the year of 2009 so far has also ranked in at third place with another work which sold 342,000 copies in its first week. Arashi has now monopolized the top three spots in this year's first week sales for singles.

Let's be happy about that instead now, yeah? Again, congrats to both Arashi and DBSK. :)

Date: 2009-07-07 12:47 am (UTC)I would love it if they had a million selling album this year it would mark a great 10th anniversary for them but if they just get the top 3 in the singles charts I'll still be happy!

Date: 2009-07-07 01:16 am (UTC)Congratulations, Arashi! Continue riding this wave of awesomeness. ♥
That said, I think we should all take this time to realize that Arashi won't be number 1 in Japan forever, so let's all make the most of this time right now. Yes, they will be number 1 in y/our heart/s forever, but rankings-wise, it's not going to be them until the end of time. So let's make the most out of their 10th year anniversary and just support them as much as we can. Enough negativity. This fandom is awesome, no matter what anyone else says, be they ex-fans, anti-fans, or those elusive KPop fans (some, not all; this is not meant as a blanket statement).
^^,

Date: 2009-07-07 03:45 am (UTC)I doubt they're going to release another single, since All the Best is slated for release soon, and they're sure to be busy with their concerts, and Aiba has a SP to prepare for, no? That I'm not sure, but I don't see another single coming up. xDD
Yay for our Arashi! Even if Everything sales wern't as good as per normal, this news has risen my tension much more. I hate fandom wars.. Now I'm wondering just how much will their All The Best sell. The online sites which restocked ATB, are slowly going out of stock again. >.<
And yeah. We Arashi fans arejust putting ourselves up for dissapointment by thinking they can be #1 forever, but lets enjoy the time now, ne? Even they themselves understand that fact, I think we should too. :D For now, lets just enjoy their 10th anniversary, go high at their concert and new album slated for release, and then we'll take things as they come. :D Besides, we know that no matter what, Arashi will always be #1 to us, in our hearts in our mind and in our souls, and no one can ever change that no matter what happens. :D
