with mrchizu as there fans call them there like sas there number ones a are more ar plya then sales driven oricon has as a chart sales air play[tv and radio] and sales[ not streaming these days]

to get number ones hence why say namie amuro has alot more no 1's than her sales show and Hamasaki Ayumi has alot less then her sales shows [ its ayu who is 2nd in sales total but only has 1/4 of the number 1's nas b'z do

and when t comes to weeks on the chart [ both naime and ayu have been around since 1995 but have in cutiing 6 year ofrm B'z life span around the 1/3 of the amount fo weeks since how avex resle singles thye hardy enever put any pf there boig five ot have singles or albums first print whting in 4 weeks of eathc other for albums or 2 weeks or singles


naime biggest selling singile is can you celebrate only spent 12 weeks in the chart since her album was relsed within 6 wees of the reord and avex x pull simgles most of the time withn n two weeks of relese of albums even of there stil selling


but air play kept it in the charts for a futher 6 wekks in the top 50[ the pat of the charts that is aired weekly ] and 8 weeks in thr op 100 print only char[ 51-100 are nver show on the weeky chart show well bakc then thye were not [ now the weekly cjhart show on on woowow muisc and has 3 there hou block or 150 mis with ad time taken out

I see, so good selling not solely determine the popularity because it's also talk about how good it on the air play

anothing band i wish wa one the poll was spitz
there an huge case of of oorocaon chars work with air play thee first 2 abuns sold like crap arund 200k total but they had 5 top ten smgim from tw a;bums then there 3rd album was a mega hit sales wise and topr th album charts ofr 5 weeks while nong in the top 100 for 40 weeks bot sales and airplay

th other side of it is X's/X Japan's first alub solf mlionn units [ the first indie record in japan to ot that [ but peeked at low 30's on the charts but alot stayed in top 100 for 8 weeks but neer got really that high

out side of very few x is the only metal band ot have huge mainstrme chart sucess on that time
in the 2000's diru and gazette did but in the late 80's and most pf the 90's metal was under garund in japan

while malice mizer did well they only did well in the Gackt Era when there were more chamber pop then metal

City pop was the big thing in the 80's as you may know it was then th ealry shibuya kei acts like flippers gulitar that went welll in the easly 90's as the new thing chart wise

mid 90's GLOBE and TRF were the biggest bands [ and b'z]

and then 97 came and Momasu were made this mindern idol pop began tere was bit in the 80's but agther onayko club split it ended there untill 97

=========

sorry fir the mini hisoty lesson

Oh God spare me from this cancer

On another note, is the bald guy half black or something? I thought the Japanese didn't like dark skin

katiak_Ula said:
idk much about them beside it listed as one top selling in wiki -- I read tokyo jihen bassist produced their album once


as I knew they (X) were the only metal band that's get slot in kohaku uta gussen in early 90

in other side, how about punk? The only I knew for indie and break mainstream was The blue hearts especially their debut (not the stalin I think), but still I saw them were solely live Band than selling artist(because some controversy like banned from tv)

I'd only heard gackt era, annoyin' stuff, idk but gackt himself gave me vibe he's such a jerk lol

I never heard city pop and trf, globe they did anime ost so yeah

lol, I'd thought onayko was kinda precursor of akb, in more polite way

lol, u can elaborated more If u want, the like l'arc en ciel, glay, etc tho' it would be hours to me decipher ur typo xD

yeah, the concept is not new, ima country we got some but not on "idol meet metal" concept like japan, more like pop girl meet/sing hard rock song

TomD said:
bruh why so unfair? why take them out of the continent :(

look fo the 25th eanvery of exyeasy records cd extays had some mnay good bands a;ot styED INDIE sadly [ cuase metal was not big [ or at lest natiev was not [ malasteen albu in the mid 90's slod 4.4 mloon recds its the biggest selling album by a non ntave artsist in japan 's history

l'arc began in 91 pick up by kai'hoon on right away they were to be the new Boøwy but that is unfair to anyone so many people f romed bands cause of Boøwy ell even in there time togtaher thye made instrument ssales go on 80o% year on year evety years they wre together

glay there taji's pet project at extasy like luna sea were to hide afther to claasic line of x was mfromed and thye went major thye tokk all of pets prorect mjaor with thye some stay major ike galy and luna sea but most went back to indie zi kill being the biggest since whar there members ended up doinf they were japan's alactrazz zi kill h fr example has kyoharyo late of kuroyume and yes yukihiro lateer of l'arc
though i liked sakura as drummer more but he had too go sadly

the stalin was never mainstrem it was found as outlet of a left wing activist as irony the combat of the [nazicore] bands like rommel and alike

im acully close frist with endo hes like the Japanese pete seeger or billy bragg sort it met him at a praty conference
hes caled his babd the stalin just for controversies sake but hes back then at in this mid 20 a hard left but he mellow with age he was even a me ber of the JRA for a short time

katiak_Ula said:
@DateYutaka lol sorry take time for me to read it thro'.

extassy keep that anniversary stuff, did it still legit to this day??
so metal was not that big for native, but biggest selling non native was metal artist??

yeah, I think so. l'arc or any band of that decades more like/was part of band boom itself

for now I'm not profound and too familiar with their music(glay and luna sea) apart they did indie debut in extasy record, I barely knew about them. Idk alcatraz but they had malmsteen and steve vai for short moment lol. yeah their circumstances were like zi kill, and it had yukihiro in it for one year?? Lol.
I did really like yukihiro as a drummer as he play more complex but he's so cold playin' it. compared to sakura in l'arc which was more elegant imo, especially in their early postpunk sound.

I read they did controversy, I like their concept sound in their first album stop jap (not the trash one) , tho' I barely knew what it say lol

lol, so u talk with him kinda like that??well I'm not surprised he become more as a kind of activist. I guess true hardcore punk icon felt that way, the like jello biafra, bit of hendry rollin' imo. and not jonny lydon ofc, keep rotten himself for not being hardcore lol .
I did randomly found a vid of aging endo when i searched about the stalin stuff. the impression did the way u talk, he looked mellow :v

by the by, you can also suggest a non-Japanese artist from Asia if you so desire.
i like how people are requesting muse (Love Live). sadly they already disbanded, so maybe Aquors instead
