yeah putting the pvs on the 29th single would make sense, kind of a insurance policy in case too many front girls miss out in the janken tournament... that way it will have a selling point no matter what.

I have come to decision to vote for the AKB48 KKS song Anti ... lol

I think the song is nice and the meaning of the song will make good PV material to me ...
The song is on the Album..
It has also been used for AKB0048 the episode 6, the one on haters ..

[Ares13]

^ .. oh .. dunno is it the quality of the recording .. or this is the really how it sounds .. kind of 80s like to me ..

[lynx212]

Just listened to every song on the 2nd disc, and yeah, this album is so much better compared to their first studio album..
There's not a single song that I didn't like. compared to the 1st where I didn't really listen to 2 or 3 songs..

[Erin.]

It's good to see that people are enjoying the songs. I've made a resolution not to listen to any of the songs until I get my copy. I'm looking forward to listening to all the songs in the cd order, especially ending with Acchan's solo.

[Machi-chan]

I really love this album. I've been getting into AKB so much lately, and this album completely pulled me in. I really wish I could buy it It comes with such nice stuff, too ;_;
I've already added the whole album to my ipod

[Haruna Ogata (Real)]

The first three songs on Disc 2 are fantastic.

Mariko's voice has evolved quite a lot...
Really awesome song though.

The low of the album (well, Disc 2), for me, was the Team K song, especially since the three tracks before it were really building up the hype.
Quite sad since they're my fave team.

[kidafohs]

Maeda's solo is so sad. No Maeda, no Sashi I have no interest in AKB anymore.

[Nao-kun]

Sunshine is made of pure win, not really a fan of the Mariko solo song though and can I have like a infinite version of Acchan solo please? lol, seriously loving how they made that song, so little to distract from her voice.

1830 D2 ..
12. Itsuka Mita Umi no Soko - Up-and-coming girls： Watanabe Mayu、Iriyama Anna、Kato Rena、Kawaei Rina、Shimazaki Haruka、Oshima Ryoka、Kizaki Yuria、Matsui Jurina、Yagami Kumi、Kimoto Kanon、Yamada Nana、Watanabe Miyuki、Jo Eriko、Kodama Haruka、Sugamoto Yuko、Miyawaki Sakura

just realise Oshima Ryoka is there ? .. the other names are like Mayuyu .. next gen center .. team 4 push for the next gen ... the top few guns on SKE48 , NMB48 and HKT48 ...

what is a 13th gen KKS doing there? .. lol .. and I was really worried that if she fail her examination recently ..lol
really happy .. my fav KKS is being recognized by management ..

hmm .. i may change my mind and vote for this song

[Nao-kun]

well, Ryoka is one of the more popular 13 gen Girls, plus management probably thinks its a bad idea to wait too long to give the newer girls some attention in releases, cause lets face it, the members in Team A, K and B are on average pretty old compared to what is "normal" for idol groups, in other words, the dreaded G word might pop up again soon in relation to some of the current "main" girls opening up opportunities for the newer girls.

Not sure why this has charted a day early, but omg. I didn't expect this much

First day sales: 625,401

Well done AKB! This is just amazing

First week sales for Koko ni Ita Koto were 601,985!

^ Must be a holiday in Japan..

-----------------------

Album PR in Hong Kong?

[Krusha]

Ares13,

You must be living under a rock in a jungle somewhere if you just now realize that Ryoochan is "recognized" by management!

She's been one of the top candidates from day 1. And not to mention her performances in the theater are always very good. She would never fail the evaluation, that much was certain.

Anyways, nice sales. And hope it'll keep up like this. I read that shipment figures for the album is 1.5M so there's a fine chance for that.

[Ares13]

^ .. lol

I know she is pretty good at her performance .. that's the reason I like her ..
and i know TGSK have post a picture and something about her on G+ before ..

but I was just doubtful because she seem to have quite little feature on Ariyoshi AKB Kyowakoku ...

^
^ .. the you tube title says Taipei .. so its Taiwan ...
and its in Chinese .. instead of Cantonese if its in Hong Kong so should be Taiwan ..lol

and i did a check ..seem that its not a holiday in Japan .. dunno

^
^
^..
wow .. amazing sales number .. this is a Album .. I actually can't believe its 600K .. I initially read it as 60K ..lol

hmm .. looking at the poor sales of NO NAME .. and the mediocre sales of NMB48..
I thought AKB48 is heading for a decline ..
now I think the wota are just holding back for the AKB48 album and maybe the single too ..

hmm ... I am got no idea why they are a day early .. seem the singles too are a day early ...
they changing their system of recording?

[Nao-kun]

First day sales: 625,401

Nice to see such a solid improvement, not many records left to beat with singles lol, but still plenty up for grabs with albums.

Must be a holiday in Japan..

That is correct, http://en.wikipedia....ki/Bon_Festival
Just ignore the wiki explanation about its date, its from 13th to 15th august this year.

[Ares13]

^ .. Oh thanks ..

So I learn a few new stuff ..

Oricon report early for holiday ..

Japan has a Bon festival that does not list as a holiday .. But it's as important ..

Japan Bon festival is related or similar to The Chinese ghost festival around the same time ..

Great !!
