Charts: KinKi Kids and V6 on top, 'Oshiri' breaks top 10
Tue, September 18, 2007 (7:20pm EDT)
In the singles chart this week, KinKi Kids' 26th single, "Eien ni," came out on top with 190,000 copies sold. This extends their Guinness World Record of most consecutive chart-toppers starting with the debut single.
Kumi Koda charted at #2 with "Ai no Uta," her 25th consecutive single in the Top 10, while Ken Hirai had his 8th in a row with "fake star" ranking at #6.
Ayaka's new single remained at #5, experiencing a sales boost since last week. Electropop idol trio Perfume reached #7 with " olyrhythm," their first single to debut in the top ten. Meanwhile, the popular children's song "Oshiri Kajiri Mushi" climbed up to #8. This is the first time since Masafumi Akikawa's "Sen no Kaze ni Natte" that a song has reached the top 10 after debuting outside of the top 100.
On the albums chart, V6's "Voyager" stood on top, selling 76,000. It also occupies a special place in Oricon history, since it is the 1,000th album to grace the #1 spot.
Meanwhile, The Cro-Magnons released "CAVE PARTY," their second consecutive top 10 album. It ranked 7th, two spots above Leah Dizon's debut, "Destiny Line."

The Struggle Fights for SMAP Intensified! The Internal Conflicts in Johnny's Empire! (September 18th, 12.01 AM @ LiveDoor)
Okay, I can't really translate word by word, coz I just got home, and my head feels kinda dizzy now. I'll give the gist.
The talk about SMAP going independent and leaving the Johnny's Agency had been long surfaced. This time, about the recording label company transfer, Universal Music of Japan with AVEX, and apparently... SONY MUSIC is also secretly on for the struggle to fight for SMAP.
A person from the industry gave comments, "SMAP being independent and leave Johnny's is actually NOT impossible at all. So their recording label company transfer will effect the Johnny's Agency's future. Right now, Julie Fujishima (Johnny's niece) and Iijima Michi (SMAP's chief manager) are the strongest candidates as Johnny's successor to be the next owner of the agency, and they are in the middle of a bitter struggle.
SMAP debuted under Victor company, and right now this company is in a management crisis. In August, they started a financial capital cooperation with Ken Wood, and started a management reconstruction.
An employee in one of the related company said, "Ken Wood's manager is NISSAN's Carlos Ghosn who is famous as a pretty harsh cost-cutter. To reduce the recording company in Victor is unavoidable, because CD production and advertisement costs has to be cut down. Thus, they can't have their big stars stay in their company anymore. Southern All Stars is also rumoured, that they will leave the company too,".
And, of course, SMAP, the center of struggle between the 3 big recording companies in the meantime. However, it is almost obvious that AVEX is winning. AVEX has tight bond with Iijima Michi and Johnny's, and also with Victor's ex-president. A source said, "It seems Iijima Michi and AVEX had agreed on a cooperation to produce a movie, and that Kimura Takuya will star in that movie, in the occasion of AVEX 20th Anniversary,"
The rest of the article says, that this is not an easy match for Universal. However, Universal has Julie Fujishima's support to win SMAP.
Some said, that SONY will give up SMAP, and try to get Southern All Stars, instead. Moreover, on AVEX side, there's the Nakai-Kumi scandal.
With these recording transfer problems, Julie vs Iijima fight is getting intensed.
The last line is: "When the time of SMAP's recording label company decision comes, it seems that will be a sign of a one step further of the fall/collapse of the Johnny's Empire..."
