grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 The top selling singles of the year in Japan were announced today. Scary shit. Arashi scored the top 3. Can someone find these 3 songs on youtube and post so we can marvel at the top 3 selling songs in Japan in 2009. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 I don't know what the songs are called. I don't know how to spell them (esp. seeing as though I don't know what the songs are called). OK? Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 This is by far the most pathetic yet. Although I suspect there are worse Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 That's the 'mid-paced' style. There's another Euro-disco faster style and that about covers them I think! Bloody awful isn't it. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Does manufactured plastic pop like this count as being as 'band'? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 You know...as a musician and being involved in the periphery of the music business it's really sad because there are some extremely talented people in this country. All you ever seem to see are the smaps, kinkis, hamasakis and arashis. But hey, I guess that could really be said about anywhere albeit to a lesser degree. Link to post Share on other sites

KRUSTY 2 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I did a TV show with one of the members(Aiba-kun) earlier this year. Seemed like a nice enough guy and was even able to put on his own makeup without the help of his 2 assistants who seemed to do nearly everything else for him. Link to post Share on other sites
