TVXQ DBSK Stand By You

TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki's newest Japanese single, "Stand By You" debuted at number 2 on the Oricon Daily Singles chart today with a sales figure of a whopping 94,838 units! Arashi was the only one who beat them by releasing "Everything," Arashi had a sales figure of 135,053 units! There was a big dropoff after these two heavyweights as 3rd place "C-ute" only achieved a sales figure of 13,446 units.

Even though TVXQ didn't come in first, they should be extremely excited. You have to keep in mind that their previous releases had no where near 100,000 sales for the first day. Their previous release, "Share The World" had around 58,000 sales on their first day and around 98,000 for the first week. This new single almost achieved the previous weekly figure in a day. Congratulations and hope for continued success for TVXQ in Japan. Thanks to Kathy Chester and ray for the tips.

Even though this is really good for DBSK, i’m sure the JE boys aren’t fretting over this (their boss is really powerful O_O).

Cool! I think DBSK can now be standing along with those JE artists… They’re not yet achieving like 300k first week sales, but they will be.. I really believe that! (before I did not :p)

the largest continent would be ASIA, if DBSK can conquer asia, there is no need to go to US.in fact asia culture are totally different from western^^ at least DBSk can go to peru or mexico since they are quite popular there..

I remember when i use to hate DBSK.lol because i liked big bang more at the time then dbsk came around beating them and stuff.
But now DBSK is my favorite Korean/Japanese group.

Man good job getting into the charts, but i just realize now that i do not like ballads.

 
Leelath's avatar

Oh wow this is effin awesome!!
They really deserve this, because Stand by U is a fantastic song. The -Love Behind The MLD Mix- of the song is pretty good too.
And let’s not forget about Tea for Two. Though it isn’t as great as SbU, I like it a lot.
@65: Like 66 said, Junsu didn’t compose this song. There was a little bit of confusion because Chinese fans used the title “Stand by You” for one of Junsu’s songs (I believe it’s White Lies, but I’m not sure).

congrats to arashi and dbsk smile
i’m not a fan of dbsk, but it’s great that they had such good sales figures :D

@56
lolol i’m pretty sure JE doesn’t have to worry :‘D

@62
you say arashi fans suck yet you’re “anti arashi” which actually doesn’t give you a very good image as a fan of dbsk either. :‘D quit being such an anti. why can’t fans just get along? :| geeez.

@80 uh hello that person provoked first if you hasn’t notice. arashi’s fans are annoying they’re everywhere belittling dbsk.

With proper promotion, THSK will be bigger than any JE group there.  I just realize this after my 2nd time over there for their concert.

wow! dang….
I love tohoshinki…hehe

i’m not surprised at all with arashi’s figure. everything doesn’t even have heavy promotions like stand by you. they only released 2 jackets, without any tie-in. jimusho only released it just to make money. the real promotion and hype up actually belonged to their album and national tours. they’re busy breaking record there; 3 consecutive days in kokuritsu (see, they’re not talking about tokyo dome anymore. smap, arashi, kanjani8 already had so many days in tokyo dome, now they’re aiming for kokuritsu). besides kokuritsu, they’ll still have venues like tokyo dome and all other big domes around japan. fans also do not really care about this single, they’re too busy hunting the tickets for the national tour, especially the kokuritsu and tokyo dome ones. the hunting has been crazier than i’ve ever seen, even crazier when toho announced their dome’s cons. the fans are also too busy stalking the online stores for the album as the first press and limited edition of the album have been sold out everywhere. so, in arashi fandom, this single is not the main priority. i’m not an arashi fan, but even i know about this. that’s how crazy the album and the national tour hype right now.
