Single [SINGLE] French Kiss - [If] - 2011/01/19

Probably true. Johnny's has been successful for decades, they know how to handle stuff. And that's ok, as long as we continue to support AKB & Co.

 

Man, that's quite BUSY...

 

WEEKLY
*1　67,729　YamaP
*2　67,122　FK
*3　33,884　yuzu

 

^ wow, that was so CLOSE nonetheless, the numbers are great

 

Nooooooooooooooooo!!! Damn you YamaP :angry: so close to a number one spot still the numbers are good (well the best for a sub-group infact, again not counting the team dragon thing)

 

still loling over the fact that they had to resort to a handshake event.

 

I'm a fan of both YamaP and French Kiss but I really wanted French Kiss to win... I thought YamaP's song was rather weak and it was only one song on the single. French Kiss had so much more content with their single and the song was way better.

I think the Johnny's-AKB48 (including ARASHI representing Johnny's) competition could be really hostile - I want an AKB48 vs. ARASHI single this year...

 

It's a pity that French kiss aren't No.1, but let's look on the bright side, 2nd single sold more than first and their popularity are on the same level as Yamapi's. Can we expect 150k for next single?
Ok, French Kiss are first again, but on daily chart of singles [party]

Can someone please do a translation of Chinmoku?? Please?? I really love that song! My favourite akb48 song after beginner OMG Major thanks to anyone who does the translation!!! [party]

 

I did a quick translation, sorry about the mistakes, but at least allows you to understand what the song is about, I hope

Spoiler

I close my eyes softly and drift away in my thoughts
even though your gentle smile
is very dear to me
I can't reach it with my hands
this distance is painful...

I stir
the fizzy water in the glass
just like I let the little bubbles escape
I want to set free one by one
the feelings that dissolved in the corner of my heart

the sands of time fall smoothly
in this place where not a single shade can be seen when darkness falls
back then we went often
to the terrace cafe
just by being with you I was happy...
the reality that you aren't here anymore
my puzzled self is reflected in its glass
I can't love anyone else
with my heart still looking down
I remain silent

When you opened the door you raised your head
and as you came in,
you said "Sorry I'm late"
kissing me on the cheek
while you took off your muffler

Seeing
your expression while you drink coffee
was a lot more fun than talking
in the sadness that appeared in my dreams
I understood that even words are powerless

the sands of time fall smoothly
as many seasons pass the two of us
are in a crossroad somewhere
separated by fate
each of us walking on a different path
I'm alone because you aren't here
even now, I don't want to that to happen
the lonely twilight is a reserved seat by the window
I'm still hesitating about calling you
silent

I wonder what does time teach us?
someday, without a doubt will it teach me to forget?
a day when all of my sadness
fades away will come
that's an optimistic consolation
ever since you aren't here, I'm always
remembering you a lot
finding the length of eternity unmanageable
I order coffee
and remain silent

 

Kuchi Utsushi no Chocolate Love it!

 

^
^ OMG a mollion thanks!!!!
I love the lyrics ^~^

 

Chinmoku is also a favourite of mine now. Yukirin has such a great voice!

 

If jumped to no.5 in Oricon daily today, i'm guessing it's the Osaka event effect

 

If 2nd week ranking is no.9 with 14,392 copies sold and 3rd week is no.16 with 4,705 copies sold

the total now is 86,219

i must say i'm impressed with AKB48 popularity now

 

4th week no.46 with 2,216 copies sold, total now is 88,435

 

If it keeps going for a lot of weeks, we'll probably reach 100k [party]

 

Finally got my copy in yesterday because i had to wait for "Sakura no ki" to come out

I just want to say one thing...the POSTER is just amazing...the texture the SIZE and the quality of the art is just stunning.

沉默 is also really good, GOOD JOB YUKI KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! Going to support you forever and ever :]
