heh thanks =D Was worth it, especially the PB .clap. But isit just me or does anyone else think they coulda used a better camera? I'm no expert on cameras though

Yeah I've only listened to it about 3 times, been kinda busy :S
First time I did, I'm not gonna lie I didn't really like a lot of the tracks :/ Then again I was kinda distracted by the PB XD
The main four songs I liked first time were Aitai, Playboy part II (hate first playboy tbh), Hello! Hello! and Sayonara my friend
After listening two moar times, I guess I like all but Hi-Hi-Hi and Shoujo M (love the chorus but I dont really like the keyboards), I do still like them but not as much as the others xD
Aitai and Playboy part II are my favs ^_^

The album isn't that bad.
I like most of the songs... Everybody say Yeah, Playboy II (I like Playboy), Aitai, Hi-Hi-Hi (it grew on me... slowly), etc...

The PB wasn't that bad but it's MUCH better than the 1st PB which was really Awful! This time, the band used a professional photographer.
Yes, some photos were clear and crisp (close up shots) but some (wider shots) were just fuzzy or grainy and the photographer Should have taken better photos.

Wonder if the photographer used a regular camera as the photos doesn't look like digital photos. I may be wrong but those fuzzy shots could have been better.

Overall....
PB is good with decent photo quality with no riske poses by the band.
Album is good but probably not as good as Best Scandal.

IMHO... to choose a single which best represents the album...
Best Scandal's best single.... Scandal Baby!
Temptation Box's best single... Everybody Say Yeah!

I wish that the next album or single would include an instrumental of Scandal Baby or Hajimete no Chu or Scandal Theme or any other songs they sang in concert but not released!

I am shocked to know it .omg.

Does the sales in Hong Kong accounted in the Oricon Charts?

i dont think so .sweat.

It depends on whether or not any of the HK music stores are part of the Oricon partner network.

For example, YesAsia is HK based and it is part of the Oricon partner network as stated on its website:

"Do the sales of Japanese CD, DVD, and Blu-ray music products at YesAsia.com count towards Japan's Oricon music charts?
Yes. YesAsia.com is an official sales data provider to the music sales charts reported by Oricon Inc. The fulfilled sale quantities of all Japan Version CD, DVD, and Blu-ray music products at YesAsia.com are reported to Oricon on a weekly basis, and reflected in the Oricon music charts."

GIANT POSTER?!!? .wtf.

i would seriously bargain with the store manager or whoever to make a deal for it lol

If I'm not mistaken it also depends on whether you bought the Japan or HK version. HK versions won't be counted since Oricon only keeps track of CDs manufactured in Japan.

is there an Oricon counterpart in HK? just curious about their popularity over there...

btw: TB is gradually coming up in the charts from 29 in Tuesday, 26 Wednesday, 25 Thursday, 24 Friday, 18 Saturday, 16 Sunday

Monthly sales from Oricon:

TEMPTATION BOX: 6th
Sales: 49941

awesome! the girls are now getting more famous. .happy.

Can't wait for them to release a certified gold album.... (100,000 copies)
Update: 4th Week Rank 28 with 3,005 sales
Total Sales: 52,946 .clap. just 10 more sales to break Best Scandal total sales since its release which is 52,956
