Yey COngrats CNBLUE!

Well done and happy for Yong! Hope the sales numbers continue to rise for all the hard work he has put into this album.
-
Congrats to YongHwa. Congrats to CNBLUE who has an awesome leader & frontman to bring good music and songs to the Japanese market..
-
Big congrats to Yonghwa & Cnblue!

Congrats YH and CNBLUE !! However the sales are quite low (their lowest ever for the 1st week, if my memory serves me right) compared to their previous releases in Japan. Releasing 2 full albums in Korea and Japan within a couple of weeks was never a good move, marketing wise or otherwise; Some fans can't afford to buy 2 albums within such a short period of time. Besides, YH himself said he's burned out by producing 2 full albums simultaneously! And then the less than pleasing cover art for Colors. Also the tragically low digital ranks of Cinderella..... Sigh!
Seriously, when will FNC get their act together and start doing things the right way for a change??!! YH and CNBLUE are too good be messed up this way.
Sorry for ranting; I'm just a concerned fan and I've got nowhere else to voice my frustrations. Wish I could talk to FNC but I can't read/write Hangul.
PS: If anyone feels I'm being too negative, ignore me :) I just want to see YH living his dream of CNBLUE becoming the 'grandpa' band and his own composition topping Billboard Hot 100! Let's keep our hopes and spirits up for YH :) -
Actually that's not correct. White sold 25,999 the first week, which means colors has rebounded (if a little bit).
I agree tho that releasing 2 albums simultaneous is a very bad business decision as well as heavily taxing for the artist (considering he had another full album out early this year). And as expected, FNC couldn't exactly pull of that kind of promo effectively. Must be their yearly contract with the Japanese label and other things that resulted in this mess of a promo cycle....
-
In my opinion FNC is more guilty, even they have a clause with their Japanese management company because FNC is their "home company" they should knew about it... More than that, the Japanese date, as I remember was first announced to the public and anyway CNBLUE had each year an album during late summer- early autumn in Japan...
In addition, I really blame FNC for the 2 official MVs of Cinderella:
- first, the "non - official" MV is much easy to find if you only search on Youtube - as the majority of users do;
- as they didn't remove the CJEM' MV or/and they didn't solve the SEO (search engine optimization) for the official one, why they didn't consider to count for music shows the both of them???
It's a pity as both albums are really great, very pleasant to listen to and moreover, Yonghwa worked really hard to compose and produce them!
-
For the music shows, both numbers count. But still, it really is their problem for not solving the search optimization.
-
Good to know that, thanks!

I agree with you that it's poor planning on FNC for releasing 2 full albums so close to each other and having close to zero promotion for both especially Colors. However I am happy that they released a full album and not several mini albums and then later on packaging the minis into a full album. It's this strategy that cause some fans tohold off buying their albums bcos as a consumer, I feel cheated that I pay so much for a mini album and then later on for the full album there may be only 1 or 2 new songs. That's why this time when Colors is released, I'm happy that >90% are new songs.
