Kumiko what happened to your ballads girl? They used to be so epic: Yume No Uta, Ai Not Uta, Hands, Stay With Me, Ai No Kotoba, & her best ballad/song ever Moon Crying.
Her last good ballad was Suki Dex3. Ai Wo Tomenaide was garbage and so was every ballad on JAPONESQUE Am worried about your winter ballad coming up
Their next single is released on the same day as Kuus
Koishikute is going to aim to be a digital hit so it's physical sales don't bother me. We already got a #1 Oricon single now it's time for that digital smash.

Why the hell don't they combine the digital and physical charts? :| I swear Japan manages to be forward and back-ass-ward at the same time.
Lol, you guys know Arama They Didn't on LJ? They just ran a story earlier in the week about why Halloween "wasn't popular in Japan" only to contradict it with a story about a Halloween parade attended by over 100k people today.

Oricon is proclaimed to be a CD sales tracking company rather than reflecting whats really popular in Japan at the moment unlike Billboard for example. I don't see them ever implementing digital sales as their whole purpose is for physical sales data only. Sad but we have recochoku and RIAJ digital certifications so it's not that bad in the end.
But people in the industry and programs like Music Station use Oricon's numbers to indicate popularity. And it's not completely right. Someone needs to speak up but that's pretty hard to do in a collectivist society...

Music Station also use to show chaku-uta charts on the show in the past but I havnt seen them do it recently. In the end artists though artists like Kana Nishino and Miliyah Kato who can't sell CD singles for their life have their true popularity reflected in the album sales charts so they do get their due eventually.
