Japan's top selling musician's

[edit]

I think some editors should learn to read Japanese before posting references. Michiya Mihasi is Japan's highest selling musician with an estimate of 160 million records sold. He became the first Japanese musician to break the 100 million sales mark in 1983. This achievement is mentioned in his profile at Oricon.

Michiya Mihasi's artist page at Oricon. [1]

Many of the Oricon references have been misinterperted. 220.253.109.122 (talk) 09:03, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sales

[edit]

Please do not post false information, they are not the third highest selling music act from Japan.

There are many Japanese musicians that have sold more records than SAS.

I am using one of my favorites as an example, and giving an English reference dated back in 1989 when Hibari Misora died.

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE7DA1E3EF936A15755C0A96F948260

She had sold around 70 million albums before the 1990's. I mean no offense to SAS fans, but it is wrong to make such a statement. 220.253.16.5 (talk) 13:38, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

More stuff that should be in talk

[edit]

This is not true! They are Japans largest selling music act. With over 200 million albums sold worldwide!As stated by HMV [2] [3]

The latter of those sources is lacking of reliability. Isn't it based on the old version of this article? no it is not, contact victor entertaiment --AW 16:40, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's hard to believe such unreliable information. Please see these sources[4][5]. Actually Japanese music industry is very large, but other Asian countries don't have markets such big scale. Your references are very exaggerated and indistinct, and too far from the fact. You need to read that source carefully. It is NOT the best-selling Japanese artists list, but subjective ranking titled "Hōgaku artist no Jūyō na Hyakunin (邦楽アーティストの重要な100人, 100 important Japanese popular music artists) ", written by editors of HMV Japan.At the stage now, the most reliable companies which provide information about record sales on Japanese music markets are Oricon and RIAJ. If your opinion were true, B'z were not the best-selling Japanese music artist, and Southern All Stars would be one of the most successful music acts in the world. It is impossible for specific person or group to sell more than 100 million albums in only Asian countries. Do you really think that they are more successful than world famous groups, such as Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and the Bee Gees? Please don't destroy the article. -- zoizoiz 08:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Many artists from around the world have sold far more than any of those musicians. Wei Wei from China is a perfect example, and so is Johnny Hallyday from France. You mayhttp://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Talk:Southern_All_Stars&action=edit Editing Talk:Southern All Stars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia not know them, but that doesn't mean others don't. The same can be said for many Japanese musicians that have sold more than those musicians. However, the original poster did make a mistake with the site. 220.253.16.5 (talk) 12:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The following statement is incorrect: "On May 18, 2008, Victor Entertainment announced that Southern All Stars will stop working as a band in 2009, with members still continuing to work individually. Victor Entertainment also says that they will come back working as a band. [10]"

It has been announced that the band is going on hiatus ONLY ('stop working as a band' makes it sound like their are breaking up and is incorrect as a translation) and should be noted that the band has gone on hiatus several times (two to three) in the past previous.

Controversy at the Kouhaku

[edit]

I remember they generated quite a controversy on their last Kouhaku performance. Kuwata performed with a Charlie Chaplin (or Hitler) Mustache and told the crowd not to forget history. --89.204.138.25 (talk) 14:43, 9 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
