Update 1:
At the height of their popularity, w-inds. didn't even sell more than 500,000 singles
It's a bit strange, but even though Japan's record industry isn't as good as it used to be, there are many singers and groups that have sold more than a million singles. They're not as popular in Japan as they used to be... most people in Japan like the J's now, and they don't sell as much as they used to... But the concerts are packed every year... I think the people who go to see them every year will continue to do so~~ I don't really know~~ but w-inds. has done better than anyone else to support them up to now~~
Ref: myself
In fact, the three sons of Japan from their debut to their current home is not really a very popular one. When he first started out, he was said to be a "threat to the J's". However, from another perspective, it only made the J's, who are a little bit far-sighted, FORESEE that they "might" be threatened, but not really threatened. In Japan, selling millions of copies is usually the strength of the group, MR. CHILDREN, B'Z fruit D Occasionally, there is a J group such as the recent KAT-TUN on w-inds. However, their SINGLE usually has 40,000 to 50,000 of them. If you ask them to be more popular in Japan, I believe that it is the first year of their debut, the SUPER LOVER period. But Sanzi really is Japan's international recent years on the heavenly group ah ~ is the world to count the most fans of the Japanese idol group must be theirs Not only in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, KOREA ONLY Hong Kong and Taiwan have accumulated more than seemingly millions of sales. Even Australia, USA and Canada have a lot of fans. So we can only say that they are not popular in Japan because they are blocked by the J family. Based on LEE's reason, his TOUR even opened more than thirty shows are all supportive of the guests, not a lot of overseas FANS year after year to Japan to chase the TOUR. There are also a lot of Japanese FANS from the first to the last show although can not say that the show FULL sun but there must be 70% full The above is my do left three years of the wind rice observation and analysis hope that the above information to help you, but remember that I am in favor of his music and not to follow the trend of his popularity, but also the music of his music, but not to follow the trend of his music. I have a friend who is a fan of theirs since their debut and he goes to Japan every year to watch w-inds. concerts. w-inds. was at its peak of popularity
It should be the first and second albums, when the sales of the albums were at their peak. The best time for w-inds. to be popular was when they had their first and second albums, and in terms of sales, it was also a better time, but my friend's friend in Japan told me that
in Japan
actually w-inds. has never been a big hit because of the presence of the J's. Honestly
when w-inds. first started out
it was a newer format, and because of the vocal line, it was a more male vocalist than a male vocalist, and it was a more male vocalist than a male vocalist.
When w-inds. first debuted, they were a new group and because the lead singer's voice was unique amongst male voices
Their vocals were good, so they attracted people's attention, but when the group didn't have any big breakthroughs
It's not unusual for fans to leave, but now
I heard that their sales are getting worse and worse, and that in Japan
Sales are really a reflection of everything.
