That's for sure. Well, I suspect, and would think that the 1000 copies will all be gone. And thus they have a good booster for a 2nd press. At least I hope so, something more serious in terms of promotion that time around

[gryzze]

Exactly. Tomorrow it will be reported in the news that it sold out in a few hours and that will do much more good than any CM that's only shown once

[gryzze]

The sale will start in half an hour or so and according to reports more than 1000 people have already gathered

to be number 1001

At least Rena helped a little with promotion, she tweeted about Kaotan's single. Also, Abiru Riho at her HS lane told fans to check the single out, though it seems like only two fans said they would check it out.

 

Fans lining up to get a hold of some Maximum Love:

 

 

Furukawa did some promo as well:

But then she spotted all CDs being auctioned and listed them in her G+ and asked fans to bid for them and then cancel the transaction:

Or Bill Gates is a fan of BBQ.

 

Apparently there was an incident yesterday in which a staff ripped off angrily a promo poster of Kaotan's single off the Deguchi Aki's HS lane, Aki and Kaotan complained and TGSK said he is going to investigate the matter:

Staff must be Kaotan hater.

Even Meetan had more copies for her debut single


Apropos and btw.: in Ebi-Friday-Night she seems somewhat to play the role Meetan had on "AKBINGO!". At least it feels a bit like that to me.

[Krusha]

2 copies of the single got sold on auction which prices I caught: 18,500 and 20,000 Yen. One with a starting price of 16,000, and one so far with bids at 45,500.

 

This one will not be easy to get.

[pink-ku]

She might have 20,000 copies ready for next week. That is why she told not to bid.

 

 

No... just responding to people that bid $$$ right away.

Could be.. could be... but she signed in on the plastic wrapper, i.e. you can't open and listen to the cd (to preserve the value).

^ Do you have a source for that?

[dev-null]

Initial press version might differ from the repress. So bidding still makes sense, even if it's just for the autograph that's on the cover lid (if that's one).

[Krusha]

It's not about opening the plastic. Although you could. But if she gets a second press, one can assume that it will have the song, the instrumental, and the PV and maybe even some extra content as well. What's important here is the limited 1000 edition first press copy itself.

[Erin.]

The way I see it, doing a limited pressing of 1000 is promotion in itself. Not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, promoting the idea of Kaotan as a self-made/self-promoted idol. Even if you weren't able to buy the single, you might hear about it all and it might make you wonder more about Kaotan. Basically, this is just the beginning.

[culex]

she apparently signed 2000 cd+dvds beforehand then 1000 cd covers during the release. I doubt she will be doing that for future releases.

if it was signed with "TO: someone for," that will decrease the collectable value.

Looks like some of the bidders are not serious bidder with those million yen bid.

ya, the cd inside also signed too, I saw the picture of it.
