I guess Nino's 'shameless plug' has paid off. XDDDD
Early sales data indicated a critical hit for Nintendo with New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Now, thanks to Famitsu.com and Enterbrain, we know this to be the case.
As reported today at Famitsu.com, Enterbrain sales data puts first week sales for New Super Mario Bros. Wii at 936,734 units. Enterbrain's tracking period for last week ended on Sunday, meaning four days of coverage for the newly released game.
This sales total easily beats the Wii's previous first week sales record holder. Smash Bros. Brawl, released in January 2008, sold 816,000 in its first week.
While Famitsu.com does not state this, it's also possible that Wii's New Super Mario Bros. may have beaten the total for the DS New Super Mario Bros. First week sales data from alternative tracking firm Media Create gave the DS title just shy of 900,000 in its first week.

The latest issue which arrived in convenience stores~ on November 24th has a little feature on AKB and if you're really new to them as I am then this feature is really quite informative~ ^ ^。 I'm seeing that it's actually the third part in their 3 part series which began two months ago~ so I'm just catching the tail end here but this feature~ being member/unit profiles it's still most wonderful to see~!
The scans may look really *fuzzy* right now~ but if you click on each one twice to display them on a clear white background screen and then a third time using the tiny magnifying glass which will then be your mouse pointer on screen.....they enlarge quite well and all of the text is then clear enough to read~♥ (*´∀`*)。I just noticed that my hair was on the scanner...gomen nasai~ (*´艸`)!
~Near the center top of the first page above...there's a tiny legend for all of the information on each of the girls and translated it reads: 1= Birthdate 2= Shusshin ("hometown") 3= Shinchou ("height") 4= "Three sizes"....and really I'm not seeing these measurements for the girls here and it's rather a gravure♥ thing to have them displayed which would explain it, although from reading CK♥'s recent live report on SDN48 they surely do sound "gravure♥!!!!" (・o・) to me!!!!! I wonder how many girls do measure themselves this way??...."B, W, H" (・c_・;)?A friend and I measured each other recently which resulted in me having a bit of body envy!!! (;´□`)...however that's for an entirely different post~ (。ーωー。)♪! 5= Seiza ("Constellation") 6= Ketsuekigata ("Blood type")...something which is really important for couples in Japan wanting to get married....even more so than anywhere else I think as favorable matches of blood types is highly regarded there~ ^ ^。 7= Shozokujimusho ("the office in which they belong to...") 8= Fan letter no atesaki ("Fan letter address").
I love that even AKB's units are featured here~.....really helps the clueless ??? in me to understand more~ (*´∀`*)。
Mano♥Santa immediately caught my eye~! too and it being the holiday♥season...one can never have too much holiday~attire on their blog~ o(*´∀`)o゛~♥。。。。。。

..~bedtime fantasies~?? ヽ(。´▽`。)ノ。。

..then you're most most welcome to post it here too~ ^ ^。

Final day at Tokyo Dome. Time flies.
The boys were back to their Arashi-concert mode full-throttle at last!
All of them were hyper enjoying the concert.
Oh-chan got screwed up with they lyrics in his solo and said "Oops, made a mistake"
To cover up his mistake, he made an extra jump before he disappeared (hard to explain)
Oh-chan burst into laughter when he saw MJ's serious face during "Allergy"
But MJ rebutted that all other 4 aren't doing "Allergy" in earnest, and thought they are getting tired of doing it.
Sho didn't buy Ohno's birthday present yet and said he will go buy it tomorrow from back stage, cause he was standing by for his solo. Aiba gave Ohno T-shirt and socks, MJ gave T-shirt and Nino gave "Mario" But Ohno found out that Aiba and MJ also got "Mario" from Nino.
MJ jumped down during encore and he put one 5x10 silver tape around his head.
There were lots of screaming during their closing addresses.
In the 3rd encore they included "My Girl" so it was quite obvious that they wanted to the 4th.
They had a camera from the backstage. MJ said "Do you want more? This song is our point of origin" and of course ended the show with "ARASHI"
Liar Game 2, My Girl, Tokyo Dogs, VSArashi, here I come!
Seoul-chan, you're up next!
Ganbatte!
You can make it!
2nd day at Tokyo Dome.
The air was totally different.
The boys were hyper and dorky again XD Probably no more sponsors, no more company executives.
Nino was already sitting on the moving stage when they first used it.
And there were times he looked stressed, but I think he made it through.
Aiba-chan and Nino went out for dinner together. Aiba-chan was about to leave the venue around 2200. He recalled he doesn't have anything to eat at home, and if he didn't ask Nino out, he will starve to death.
During the closing speech, Nino finally said to the screaming audience "Wait, I'm talking (be quite)" Yes, the audience was screaming since yesterday. Makes me feel that there are lots of newbies there.
MJ jumped into the audience (as usual). He climbed up to the 1st row of the stand. Grabbed the official Uchiwa of Ohno from audience and kept waving toward the main stage ^^ Threw a big kiss to the audience^^;
They took more time for encores.
Overall, I felt that I'm back to the Arashi Concert.
Ohno said he is free on Monday^^
