TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki has enjoyed first place on the Oricon Charts for their releases over the past year but this wasn't the case this time. With stiff competition, TVXQ placed 3rd on the Oricion Daily Sales chart. TVXQ's single "Survivor" had a total sales of 54,243 while KAT-TUN almost tripled this amount for their single "Rescue" with 143,941 sales.
Although TVXQ has been quite popular in Japan, they still have some way to go before they can compete with the Arashi's and KAT-TUN's of the world.

Date: 2009-03-11 11:57 pm (UTC)While I love the boys, this is JE we're talking about. They release 3+ versions of a single knowing that fans will buy each one )multiples at times even), have the single attached to something (dramas, movies, sports events, etc), & whoring random members out everywhere for promotion
Now, I'm not saying they should do the exact same thing. But if they want to roll with the big numbers, they are going to have to step up their game.
I'm sure this will be somewhat of a learning experience as to "what to do when a JE item is released the same time as yours & potential ass handings are about to be had".
KEEP YOUR PIMP HANDS STRONG, BOYS

Date: 2009-03-12 10:34 am (UTC)Many people think that boybands with popularity that can rivals JE artists are 'banned' since they can be threat to their artists.
Which is bullshit, tbh. No other artists can exactly 'threatens' JE artists no matter how good they are [sadly] :(
