Does anyone have day-by-day comparisons with previous singles? It seems for me that album with its 2-shots gunned down other theater editions.

lol ..

even if the wota really can shoot missile out from their glowstick .. they definitely can't print money ..

looking at it .. its already amazing enough ...

In 3 weeks they sold more than 2 million CDs ..
and albums cost 2-3 times of singles ..
its like they sold more than 3 million singles in value ..

they still manage to continue to raise the bar for consecutive million 1st week..
My only worries is the Janken single actually ..

Yes, that's one way of looking at it. And I agree, for those who only look at this single's sales figure, and goes "Oh, only 1.16M so far - so little!" are first off rather strange people, because 1.16M copies of any sort of single is never "only" or "little".
That AKB48 managed to sell 1M of any single in the first place is amazing in this day and age. But they now have not only one 1M+ seller, but nine ...

Then there's the fact that they are also selling an album which was released just before this single, and that album is close to 1M now, and albums costs more than singles. So, yeah.

What I hope is that they actually calm down a little with sub-units, and gives more breathing-room for the singles now, so that wallets aren't completely butchered.

It is possible to buy and support to a certain extent, but after that it gets very hard.

Definitely true, I had to sit out this single here, f.ex. :) Focusing on NMB48 mainly these days (hard enough to buy everything there with the short release cycles... reminds me I need to order the 2nd Challenge48 DVD :) )

With girls from 3 sub units transferring to foreign countries it is probably a chance for the management to scale the sub unit releases down a bit. Though then you get new solo debuts by Matsui and Takamina. I guess, it balances itself out in the end — and not in favor of our wallets. HKT48 also awaits its debut (they are rather slow compared to NMB48, f.ex. — not sure how long it took for SKE48)


Can I win in the lottery please? :)

This is what online translation said:

[Oricon] by emerging AKB and Ojima center song, the first million Even Maeda graduation is 1,180,000 of initial motion.

■ A first-ever 2 year continuous 3 work million

The 27th 16 people of popular idol group and general election selection of AKB48 sing, a single "gingham check" (It's sold on August 29th.) makes sales of 1,182,000 first weeks, to the week rank top with 9/10, first, I appeared. The (last year's February sale and the accumulation sales, 1,082,000) empty 8 work continuous sum total 9 kind of crop by which a million breakthrough single room in AKB "will be a cherry tree tree". It was the first million as Yuko Oshima's center song.

The first single room after Atsuko Maeda graduation where Motosaku left a group with AKB48 theater (Tokyo and Akihabara) performance on the 27th last month. Oshima of the 1st place of "selection general election" performed in June also cut the good start which breaks through 1,000,000 of mark with the opening song which regained the 2nd time of center for 2 years after "AKB Chapter 2".

A million breakthrough by the sale first week renews the successive generations about 1 record one has 7 works by continuous 7 kind of crop from "Everyday and Katyusha" (last year's May sale and 1,334,000 first weeks). AKB which invented 5 works of million seller last year, this year, following "GIVE ME FIVE!" (February sale and 1,437,000 of accumulation) "Sounds good ! at midsummer" (May sale and 1,816,000), 3 kind of crop. 3 works of million achievement of (the above) was a first-ever heroic achievement for 2 years continuously.

The number of single sum total top acquisition also extends 14 works to 14 works of continuation from "RIVER" (It's sold in October in 2009.) and renews the "number of single continuous top acquisition of the female group successive generations about 1 record one has "the number of sum total top acquisition" together. A million breakthrough by single 8 work continuation was about 2 equal record as well as Mr.Children (13 work continuation of successive generations about 1 =B'z) since B'z by successive generations in 16 years and 3 months after.

Further with album 3 week continuous TOP3 by which the 2nd place of lastest model of AKB48 "1830m" (It's sold on August 15th.) is also first next and the said group by an album rank of the said date. Here sets the accumulation sales to 975,000, and also hangs check on a million.

Not as good as Manatsu no Sounds Good but I think that it fits AKB48.

I thought it was with next single release. In other words full UZA PV will be released when 29th single is out.
