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.

Eh no the last time I checked, Loveless broke 270k. From 2ch:

2010/04/12　Single Weekly

140　185　***,355　*,270,217　*20　山下智久 「Loveless

I think Top100-200 weekly figures aren't available to general public, so that's probably why no one posted a screencap in this comm.

I think many people are forgetting the fact that Pi's Loveless had a target demographic that was different from the typical Johnny's fan. Because Loveless sounded nothing at all like a typical Johnny's song. Many JE fans didn't flock to the single simply because it was so different, and the older half of Yamapi's fanbase probably wouldn't have been interested at all.

Jin's song did well because of the producer attached to it, plus the fact that it's tied in to a movie. Actually, all of that considered, Jin's song should have done better than it had.
