I was on a Japanese DBSK mood the other day (first time I've actually listened to them in MONTHS btw), and I forgot how much I enjoyed their ballads tbh.

OP, from the arama RIAJ post:

Digital sales are much larger than physical sales in Japan right now. Many songs in the last few years have been certified as selling multi-million copies, as opposed to the physical charts which have had very few, if any.

larger part is right in terms of numbers but singles cost a few dollars at most while physicals cost at least 20 dollars, larger when talking about sales is not in volume but $$

thank you!

HOMG DOUSHITE ;_____;

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Basically the only three groups that will really make it in Japan.

THIS *nods*

[yuukihitohira.livejournal.com]

whoa, doushite....considering that it came out in '08, that's so surprising ;~~~~; ♥

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

I swear that tears nearly came to my eyes when I saw #95...and then I started singing it *sniffles*

"Doushite, Kimi wo suki ni natte shimattan darou?

Donna ni toki ga nagarete mo kimi wa zutto

Koko ni iru to omotteta noni..."


Damn, I want my DB5K back ;____; This song was (and still is) perfection *____* The harmonization was amazing!! XDDD

[pepper.livejournal.com]

+1

Even though it's been more than 2 years... I still can't get over it.
/FOREVER BUTTHURT

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

TBH Doushite kimo wo asdkflkaflaggkalgklag darou is the song that made me follow them for a while. That song is amazing.

[my-faux-pas.livejournal.com]

IA. Doushitte was what made me like Tohoshinki singing in Japanese, I only listened to their Korean songs before. Doushitte was perfecton.

saaame same same it's what got me listening to other toho ballads <3

Why do they insist upon putting Changmin in fur collared anything every other performance. He gets hotter easier and it isn't as cute as they think it is. :/

OMG DOUSHITE. ;-;;;;

[hibohabu.livejournal.com]

I think Changmin rocks fur collars pretty well, actually, maybe because he looks like he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but yeah, he could probably perspire enough to fill a glass when he's all covered up like that, which ruins the look and most likely irritates him to hell and back.

Yay for TVXQ!

[earthequality.livejournal.com]

I think they distract from his face a little, especially when they decide to perm and crimp his hair. I will never forgive SMTown NYC wardrobe. On top of sweating the most, the fur doesn't help him at all. Yeah, there was a lot of primping and frustrated wiping at SMTown.

This list is invalid, tbqh.
No Rainbow..

[bestsama.livejournal.com]

who?

[soft-daisy.livejournal.com]

omg, lol

[es2pido.livejournal.com]

I really liked Doushite Kimi Wo ASafafagggklgklasjg Darou so much, it's still included on my playlist. I even made the whole Japanese title as the password of my workstation for a month just to troll my co-workers if they need to access my PC.

And thanks for Mister, KARA has been extremely relevant in Japan ever since.

I wasn't able to track Mr. Taxi's performance on the charts. Oh my, I didn't know it was such a huge hit.

[boba-holic.livejournal.com]

Doushite ;.;

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

OMG "DOUSHITE" IS IN IT! <3

[my-faux-pas.livejournal.com]

Doushitte is such a perfect song ;______;

[zeldas.livejournal.com]

this isn't new. doushite, and a few other songs, are almost always on iTunes japan #100. their greatest hits album has its peak days, too.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

[ghina93.livejournal.com]

Doushite ;~~~; ♥

[funkaliciousss.livejournal.com]

2 songs in the top 10! GET IT GURLS!!

Where is Genie tho?

[saphbluedreams.livejournal.com]

OMFG really? Doushite is still in the top 100. Bomb a- ballad deserves it.

[yunchunnified.livejournal.com]

[pichiu.livejournal.com]

[minakuu.livejournal.com]
