[TRANS] 100225 Japanese Idol NEWS “Scared Of TVXQ”

[aunts.livejournal.com]

 

Johnny’s Entertainment idol group NEWS has decided to postpone the release of their new single ‘さくらガール(Sakura Girl)’, which was scheduled to be out on March 24th, by one week.

A representative of the Japanese Records Association analyzed the situation and said in an interview with ‘Saijo Woman’ that “Korea’s top idol group TVXQ is releasing a new single ‘時ヲ止メテ(Please Stop Time)’ on the same day,” And “It can be analyzed that NEWS moved their release date because they are afraid to meet TVXQ on the charts.”

He also said, “NEWS holds the record of 11 consecutive albums ranking first on the Oricon Charts ever since their debut. It can be seen that they fear this record might be broken if they release their single the same day TVXQ does,” and “If it had been Arashi, who ranks first in overall annual sales, or KAT-TUN, who sold 350,000 copies of their single ‘Love yourself〜君が嫌いな君が好き〜’ that was used as the main theme song of drama “Sassy girl Snako”, they would have gone up against TVXQ but this decision was a wise one.”

(omitted)

But despite their soaring popularity, they seem to be showing a weak side in front of ‘TVXQ’ and fans felt upset at this saying things such as, “This makes me feel complicated.” and “Why are they pushing back their release date?”

On the other hand, NEWS’ ‘恋のABO’ that was released last year has sold an accumulative 234,000 copies. ‘Saijo Woman’ says “These sales may reflect the best of NEWS’ capabilities.”

So, DBSK must be a big thing if NewS is "scared" of them. But hey sad, I'd have wanted to know who would've have had bigger sales!

[janzbuu.livejournal.com]

We'll still get the number of sales afterwards ;D We'll see then.

[sayuxi.livejournal.com]

LOL
I knew it would happen someday xD

[janzbuu.livejournal.com]

Never thought that the Johnny's would be scared of anything. Awesome how far and popular TVXQ have gotten in Japan!

[atarashiiyoake.livejournal.com]

Johnny's have banned w-inds., Flame and LEAD from Mste and other tv shows and 'their' mags (Duet, WU, etc) as well.

Seriously though, it's NewS. I think this is a wise move too

I've given up on their views lol. It's a waste to try and ~let them see the light~.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

arama isn't enough, should try news_jpop or something like that.

[jia-zhang.livejournal.com]

[purplesky.livejournal.com]

They're releasing Toki wo Tomete as a single, with Yunho's Checkmate as the b-side :3

[purplesky.livejournal.com]

Masuda is love. ♥

That said I don't really blame them.

[chunfacebiased.livejournal.com]

i still feel so awkward when people say Masuda's name when....that's my name irl. O;

[audacitas.livejournal.com]

LMAO I still remember the little battle between HSJ! and DBSK when Summer Dream was released xD

[greenteafroyo.livejournal.com]

oh sounds intruiging (8 what happened?

[mariaheartsu.livejournal.com]

I'm glad TVXQ are doing so well that they have NEWS worried XD
Don't get me wrong, I love them both :D
It's just that it proves to everyone that was hating on TVXQ earlier on that they had the talent to make it big in Japan. :D

[flufy-umbreon.livejournal.com]

I love both groups like burning, but- LOL NEWS. Good job.

[fifi-moon.livejournal.com]

I am the same! I heart them both but it is two entirely different types of love.

[smilecheers.livejournal.com]

Haha. xD Well good for them.

[wearehappiness.livejournal.com]

Just shows how well DBSK are doing in Japan. My bbs. ♥♥♥

[xradiostatic.livejournal.com]

i like both groups, but LOL @ NEWS being scared. XD
never thought i'd see a JE group saying this. i guess that's the power of dbsk. ♥

[pandatablo.livejournal.com]

[apricotvodka.livejournal.com]

I swear to the Goddess that there is noone more adorable than Xiah Junsu in this earth.

[decolorize.livejournal.com]

I can't say I'm surprised. NewS don't sell all that much nowadays. it looks like the only JE groups who do are like, Arashi & KAT-TUN now, tbh.

[iiluminate.livejournal.com]

arama is going to be extremely butthurt. lol

[purplesky.livejournal.com]

lmfao if I had to guess I'd say it was a translation mistake.
