[misstennis.livejournal.com]

" TVXQ has set another record in Japan!

Their album ‘TIME‘ had ranked #1 on the Oricon Daily Chart, and now it took the top spot on the Oricon Weekly Chart.

This is their third album to top the weekly chart, and this album sold 244,000 copies in the first week, setting a new record for the boys for the first-week sales. It’s also the 2nd consecutive time that their album sold over 200,000 copies in the first week, since they sold over 200,000 with ‘TONE‘ as well.

Oricon announced, “It’s the first time since Avril Lavigne‘s ‘Every Damn Thing‘ that a foreign artist sold more than 200,000 copies for two consecutive albums in the first week, this last occurred 5 years and 11 months ago. For a foreign group, the only other time this occurred was 12 years and 10 months ago when Bon Jovi achieved it with ‘Crush‘.” "

It’s the first time [...] that a foreign artist ...
It's a pity that Tohoshinki have stopped being marketed as Jpop, but nonetheless WOOPWOOPWOOP TOHOSHINKINGS!

Regardless if they are marketed as Jpop they are still foreign artists.

argh I've been trying to find this in music stores in Seoul since it was released. They have all of THSK's singles in stock but not this album (and no TONE either). I was hoping I could find it cheaper in Korea since JP albums are ridiculously expensive T_T Oh well, time to buy it online I guess!

[aknyo93.livejournal.com]

That's because the Korean version of Time hasnt been released yet.. you'll have to wait a bit for it...and Tone is probably just out of stock ^^

[jaesoe.livejournal.com]

As expected, Japan love these boys

[mimic.livejournal.com]

LOL SNSD still can't manage to sell that much in the *insert number* months their album has been out. Girls and Peace is so sad but the anti hallyu wave has not yet hit the Kings!!!

Go toho!

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

My flawless boys, and well deserved, Time is an awesome album, have been listening to it non stop for a few days now.

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

Go Toho! Great album, gets better every time I hear it. Really like track 3 a lot.

For some reason I loveeee this Catch Me and I hate the Korean one, but they didn't change the instrumental or anything?? Fascinating.

[markthatcoin.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity, which album cover do use in your music library? I chose the blue Doctor Who-ish one lol

[noirsama.livejournal.com]

them boys still got it, yeah~

[joy-twinz.livejournal.com]

I love Fated. I am so proud of them! :D

[des-akazim.livejournal.com]

I can't stop listening to CM's epic opera thing in Y3k....go guys!

[mizukigirl.livejournal.com]

Congrats to them and ONE OK ROCK! :) I didn't like the new songs from either band though.
