Fakin' pop ranks 13rd in the chart ( not bad, huh? awesome instead since bands are dominating all oricon charts this year and the sale in top 100 are not good for all .So, more than 300000 domestic sales are really great for Japanese artists this year )

Wow, thanksfor the infos japjap!

FAKIN' POP got pushed down to no.20 because of the strong sales coming from B'z , ayaka & GReeeeN

somemore Namie Amuro's putting her 3rd best album titled BEST FICTION in 2 days's time so I'm sure the charting position will change again

FAKIN' POP has officially left the thread after spending almost 4 months & 2 weeks on the album chart .

Don't know how Ken feels but I am disappointed of this selling figure. Compared to his pervious albums since 2000, this one is really not doing well.
It would be interesting to see what his next move is.

BUT IN MY OPINION,THIS ALBUM INCLUDING LOTS OF AMAZING SONGS.
BETTER THAN ALL OF HIS ALBUMS BEFORE.

SO I REALLY WANT TO KNOW THE REASON WHY THIS ALBUM DON'T SELLS WELL.

Some of the songs are great such as Elegy.
That makes it more bizarre why the selling figure is not that great.
Well anything is possible. We'll wait and see the his next new song.
