Yamapi to appear on Hey, Hey, Hey

[inala.livejournal.com]

An email was sent to Fan Club members yesterday announcing that Yamapi will be making a solo appearance on Heyx3, the recording will be on Sunday June 27 and giving details to ballot for tickets. There was no mention of NEWS.

There is no official confirmation as yet to what this is about but there are rumours of a new solo single and concert tour.

Loveless didnt do that well... so maybe they should stop pushing him as a solo artist...

Yamapi's Loveless sold only 1k less than NEWS' Sakura Girl in its first week. How is that not doing well? :\ Not that I want Yamapi to go solo because I'd much rather see him with NEWS but in terms of CD sales, Johnny isn't really losing all that much.

in terms of CD sales, tegomass is far behind either NEWS or Yamapi, but still, they get promoted more now...

Well, cd sales aren't the only way the agency makes money out of their idols, that's just how the *record labels* make the most money, I think. Plus, making money one way isn't the only *reason* why some idols get more attention than others, either.

well sakura girl was barely promoted, Loveless had full blast promos

not to mention, Pi's Loveless had three editions, with different songs on each, so there was a reason to buy all three editions....and a good old dvd as well.

Sakura Girl had two editions, with the only difference between them being a single song. No dvd at all which is usual as well I suppose for a news release, topic for another time: the sadness of not having news pvs on dvd

"Barely" is a good description for the level of promotion there was for Sakura Girl. Seriously. MS appearances and not even a full performance of the song in the week it came out... *shakes head* and that was after "waiting patiently" for eleven months.
