Total sell of AKB48 single exceed 1 million copies

[kazuma2387]

Still in the top 10 after 3 weeks, awesome!! its more than River's 3rd week as well

[phishn37]

Can't belevie I'm saying this...

But this song really deserves it. I like it a lot more than pretty much anything H!P has put out recently. Their other songs didn't do a lot for me, and I thought they were overrated, but this song stands out. I really like the style of it, something very unique.

[MatchinColorGurl08]

AKB48 deserves this moment. The past singles, except for the 1st single and O. Diamond sales, were at 18-25K ranges.

[emanc]

Jurina seems to be the lucky charm. It was in Oogoe Diamond that she debuted in an AKB48 single and since then the sales has been awesome. It also could be because Defstar is a shitty record company that doesn't know marketing and its potential.

[Universus]

I will try to buy 20 more copies this coming week!!

Go AKB48!!! We support you!!!

[liukof]

it's very good~!
i love them~!
this song is so good~

First week out of the top 10. 1st, 5th, 7th and now 11th. It could still be at the top 20 with Watarirouka releasing their single tomorrow.

Go AKB!!!

[Krusha]

It's at 8th, on Daily Chart, and going up.

Tomorrow will be 1 month on the Daily Chart.

I cried when I first heard this song for some reason. Sakuras just get the best of me

Correlation does NOT equal Causation

Just because when Jurina was added AKB sales went up DOESN'T mean that the higher sales are due to her.

Also, overall sales seem better than Iiwake Maybe, right?

[emanc]

I never claimed she was the cause of AKB's rise to fame. That's why I said she's a "lucky charm". It is pure luck. It doesn't mean she is popular.

Wow, already on its sixth week and this single is still in the top 20. Number 13 today.

[emanc]

Two Akimoto acts in the top 10 today. AKB48 (Sakura no Shiori) at number 7 and SKE48 (Aozora Kataomoi) at number 3.
