SHINEE ONCE AGAIN SHOWING WHY THEY'RE SHINEE

[anthonymarie.livejournal.com]

The boys of SHINee are currently busy preparing for “SMTOWN LIVE in TOKYO SPECIAL EDITION“, but ahead of this highly anticipated concert they have reason to celebrate.

SHINee’s second Japanese single, “JULIETTE“, which was officially released in Japan on August 28th has topped the Oricon
Daily singles chart for August 29th. On the first day, JULIETTE was
able to sell 25,595 units which was good enough to place them above mega
popular group AKB48 and the Johnny’s group that debuted earlier in the month, Kis-My-Ft2.

Congratulations to SHINee on this achievement.

sorry mods i forgot to upload the 2nd pic D:

last day of the week for AKB, 1st day for Shinee. Hopefully Shawols get that this is just the daily and their company probably scheduled to release this a day ahead of other singles (which all would release on the 31st) to get the claim of #1 over akb on the daily!

good for them tho.

'SHINEE ONCE AGAIN SHOWING WHY THEY'RE SHINEE' loling forever tbh.

I'm so proud of them, they work so hard. :)

This isn't that spectacular since they're going to drop out of the top ten very soon.

Talk to me when they manage to stay on the charts for 4 months.

I don't see SHINee ever doing that well in Japan. I love them to death but I just get this feeling it isn't going to be a boom anytime soon.

[grapewhine.livejournal.com]

Can I just say:

[boba-holic.livejournal.com]

lol whose butt and hands are those?

[scubajr.livejournal.com]

I'm proud of them! But comparing them to AKB48 who sold (almost?) a million copies on the first day, isn't really right.

[grapewhine.livejournal.com]

It's AKP.

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

proud of them.

I love the name Kis-My-Ft2 though.

[cnidaria-jin.livejournal.com]

:D
i don't have problem against the name either :D

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

That's cool that Shinee were able to get their single out the same week as Kiusmai and AKB.
But these sales are no where close O.o

Oh well I just hope Shinee is able to find a solid fanbase that will support their japanese activities :D

[kiku-cha8-8.livejournal.com]

i think they are letting key design those covers. boy is going crazy with photoshop textures.

but good job? japanese juliette is such a jam

[grapewhine.livejournal.com]

Both Japanese singles' packaging has been ATROCIOUS. Someone in there is on drugs fo sho.

[whatdesuyo.livejournal.com]

Is there any other artistes releasing on the same day as shinee?

Who even compares first day sales with almost a month/week old daily sales lol do my words even make sense

/sleep deprived

[suzieeq-luv.livejournal.com]

I understand. Because when weekly oricon comes out shinee will for sure be no where near first place O.o
But this is good news for today I guess...

[lei-hime.livejournal.com]

Didn't AKB already sold like 1,300,000 copy in a week of their single ?

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Yup, this article is just AllKpop being stupid as always...

[itsanthonybitch.livejournal.com]

So they beat akb48 on the daily chart, that's it. Their sales won't be consistant, akb will top them tomorrow or the next day and definitely on the weekly

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

Dumb AKP articles like this need to die or at least not be posted here. Everyone else has pointed out the ridiculousness of the Kisumai/AKB comparisons, but I'd be more worried about what 25k on the 29th means for their sales on subsequent days considering Replay sold twice that amount.... the problem is they released on a non-standard day but I don't know if that means anything for purchasing habits.

[liime-arix.livejournal.com]

Most people tend to buy on the Wednesday/Tuesday so even if SHINee opened at number one on the last day of the week, this new week, they still have Fukuyama Masaharu and AKB's second week sales to contend with.

[thewarpedmelody.livejournal.com]

LOL, irl

[taecish.livejournal.com]

i laughed irl when i saw this

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

wait, are they really called kiss my feet?
/dying and I need to get more into jpop

[unbroken-glass.livejournal.com]

it's not kiss my feet, it's pronounced as kiss my foot. Just call them kisumai, everyone does.

[unreal.livejournal.com]

Nikki predicted they would sell about 98.00 at the end of the week. I don't see that happening. Unless their drop is really small.

And I was just looking at the rest and WTF I'm so suprised this single is still charting. It's been released ages ago.

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

*sigh* ninki scores are NOT sales estimates

[spread.livejournal.com]

Kisu-mai-assu!!

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

TBH I was expecting better first day sales from SHINee...

[isinuyasha.livejournal.com]

lol at all the butthurt akb fans saying 'but they sold millions in the first week'

Yeah well, but they've been into the japanese music industry far longer than SHINee, so it's still an accomplishment for a 'newly (in japan) debuted' group.

I like AKB btw, please don't hate me...you gotta admit the arguments are funny :D

[minniemayuyu.livejournal.com]

I think it's more lol'able that your missing the fact that "butthurt akb fans" are trying to enlighten the misinformed that it was the last day of the week for AKB48's single, whereas it was SHINee's first day release figures.

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

lol at akp making it seem like they totally defeated akb48 when it's been basically a week since AKB's single and they sold over a million on the first day. ridiculous but gj shinee

[annhh.livejournal.com]

.....


at least they sell. but they can't be seriously expecting domination

[shade-of-kim.livejournal.com]

your icon is lovely ♥

AKP STOP MAKING EMBARRASSING ARTICLES

[x-doctess.livejournal.com]

Kis-My-Ft2 is such an unfortunate name for a boyband. But then, so is SHINee.

[akatsukichii.livejournal.com]

Well they had to live with that name for the past 5 years XD

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

congrats to akp for producing another shitty article :D

but my shinee bbs deserve every praise they get, even if it's fabricated >3

[baboboy.livejournal.com]

lol
