Arashi and NMB48 Face-Off on May 9th

NMB48, the youngest sub-unit of AKB48, have managed to rank first in Oricon music first week sales for three consecutive times since their record debut. However, NMB48's quest for four consecutive number 1 single might be put on hold with Johnny's Entertainment Arashi announcing the release of their "Face Down" single on May 9th.
The girls of NMB48 have topped Oricon weekly ranking for their past three singles- "Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shōjo", "Oh My God!", and Junjou U-19". Those singles sold more than 200,000 for the first week. But the girls will soon faced their biggest hurdle with popular boy group- Arashi. Arashi's "Wild at Heart" managed to snag the top spot with more than 550,000 sales for their first week.
However, rumors have surfaced that NMB48's 4th single "Nagiichi" will contain ballots for the upcoming Senbatsu election on June 6th. If it were true, then this battle for the top spot might be not one sided at all.
NMB48's "Nagiichi" and Arashi's "Face Down" will both be released on May 9th.
Who do you think will reign supreme on May 9th?

### A MESSEGE 4 YOU ###

 

Bener kata Rakha, aku cewek yang nggak bisa menyadari kehidupan ini adalah kenyataan... bukan sebuah mimpi... And bener kata dia, aku selama ini menjalani kehidupan hanya sebatas khayalan... nggak pernah menyadari semua ini nyata..,

Kata-kata yang dia ucapin entah terasa melekat kuat dalam ingatanku.. ^^ selalu teringat... semua kata-katanya kejam tapi membuat aku sedikit demi sedikit sadar.... dan mencoba berubah pelan2.. ^^

Sekarang aku akan coba berubah untuk kehidupanku,,..!! ^o^ awal masuk univers aku sudah berjanji dengan diri ku sendiri, aku ingin coba merubah diriku... mungkin dengan cara sendirian
tanpa kalian
aku akan rubah semuanya...^^

Mulai dari berteman dengan yang lainnya... mungkin aku akan merasa sedikit berubah.. membuat diriku lebih berharga dan dibutuhin orang lain itu yang akan aku lakuin .. ^o^ mencoba jadi nyata dikehidupan ini... mungkin akan sedikit susah karena aku harus meninggalkan kebiasaanku sebagai si penyendiri.. tapi kalau aku selalu mencoba aku yakin pasti akan berhasil..

Karena kata2 Rakha, aku punya komitmen kuat soal masa depanku kelak... banyak impian yang harus aku capai... mulai sekarang aku harus serius membangun pondasi untuk masadepan ku. Kalau mulai sekarang aku nggak serius mencari yang aku butuhkan untuk masadepanku, kehidupanku dimasa depan nggak akan pernah berjalan lancar. ^^

APA YANG AKU KATAKAN DIMATA RAKHA SELALU SALAH.... AKU AKAN BERUSAHA MEMBUAT SEMUA YANG AKU KATAKAN MENJADI NYATA DI MATANYA... (>///<)

Walaupun yang aku lakukan akan menguras seluruh waktuku, tapi yang bisa menghentikan usahaku ini hanya waktu kehidupanku yang berhenti... ^^

Beri aku waktu untuk sendiri tanpa kalian,. Bukan maksud untuk menghindar atau menghilang dari kalian, tapi biarkan aku ubah kehidupanku dengan usahaku sendiri.. ^_^ aku akan tetap ada buat kalian, tetapi sekarang aku tak bisa berjanji selalu ada.

Jadi kamu juga harus berusaha ya... ^^ ubah hidupmu...!!! ada atau tidaknya kehadiranku, nggak pernah bisa merubah kehidupan kalian, yang bisa merubah kehidupan kalian adalah keyakinan dan komitmen kalian soal hidup yang kalian jalani.. ^_^ ayo kita rubah sama-sama masa depan masing2... ^_^

Aku nggak akan pergi and ngelupain kalian.. ^_^ kalian tetap selamanya SAHABAT ku... BEST FRIEND... ^^ LOVE U all~~~!! <3
