Glorious indeed

 

And...

 

Considering the pricetag for this ablum is double the one for a single.

Day 2 and with 30,946 copies sold. Total so far: 277,993

[Krusha]

Day 3 and with 15,572 copies sold. Total so far: 293,565

[Tsurugi_Ken]

It's probably going to reach 350k at this rate, which is really really good.

 

But I wish there was a surge to make it reach 400k.

[kidafohs]

Excellent movie and 31/12 is probably the best 48 song for a good long while, also HA! is not far behind it. Never mind the sales of records NMB passed SKE and AKB a long time ago in the quality of their music.

Sayanee v Milky not going to happen between the girls one want's to produce. write and sing her own music, the other want's to be an Idol there is no rivalry between them. It's only the fans who want to be rivals and
dream of the pair fighting each other. As for the photo book Milky may have won but the first thing she did was ask the company to show both CM's hers and Sayanee's that's friends not rivals and the company did as she
requested.

At #1 still, and today with 8,867 sold. Total of 302,432 so far.

[satchan]

Very glad they were able to reach 300,000. Such a fantastic week. I can't wait to see then build on this even more. Exciting time for NMB!

Kohaku!

[hitoyou]

The sales are amazing SKE made a powerful statement with their latest release... NMB gave their answer. 

 

Teppen Tottande! is the best selling album of the year now. Only 3 months into the new year though and some big names should be releasing something during the remaining 9 months. Going to end up very high regardless though.

 

Lily is a great song.  Just needed to say that.

 

Teppen Tottande! Obvious cooperation moments for the audience and I want to be a part of those Is it ok if I ask for more of these parts in future songs?

 

Ha! was great  

 

Spoiler

I quite like that they went for a rather... realistic approach regarding little girl vs grown man. Uuka having too much fun while being chased by yakuza  though  

 

HA! had better tearjerking moments than the So Long series. 

 

Fuuchan, this and PON suddenly made her a lot more interesting

Still #1 and 8,336 sold today. Total so far of 310,768.

[Krusha]

Down to #2 today, but #1 only 1000 or so copies ahead - so no worries. Today with 6,668 sold, and a total of 317,436 so far.

[Tsurugi_Ken]

Ah, that's one okonomiyaki that didn't get cooked. Hope they cook one good for tomorrow.

[Erin.]

Even if they went down to #2, the sales are excellent. After the first couple days, I didn't think it would continue to sell that much, but it looks like the NMB wave is still rolling.

 

And that truck is awesome. I've never seen one playing music before. Do the 48 groups often have trucks like that?

[dev-null]

Look at the end of the video where the truck encounters a truck of the competition.

I find this kind of marketing concept rather strange, BTW. Looks like the trucks just drive around for the advertisement rather than doing anything useful, like transporting things or stuff (correct me, if I'm wrong.) Nice waste to pollute the environment and waste resources.

[Krusha]

Erin., 

 

I remember AKB48 with Ponychou or Ebikachu had a whole horde of them driving around. It's common, at least from 48.

 

It does ensure visibility, like "Oh, it's that group, hmm... maybe their release is good" etc. so a chance for more customers. But yes pollution

[Krusha]

From Oricon: 

 

Weekly #1 and a first weekly total of 328,000 sold. 

 

http://www.oricon.co...c/2022289/full/

 

They sat some records too, but I cannot properly get the meaning.

[Tsurugi_Ken]

Well, the first one was basically them being the first female artist since Uchida Yuki to take 1st in weekly rankings for both their debut single and debut album (Uchida claiming this was close to 18 years ago) and the first female group to do so.

 

They also achieved selling more than 300k copies on the first week, which was something only Mr. Children and AKB48 could do so far (according to the article).

 

The only blemish in NMB48's career so far was Nagiichi taking only 2nd place, breaking what would have been a streak (which is ironic because Nagiichi is the single that sold the most for them so far).

[Krusha]

Thanks

[hitoyou]

Pollution? It is powered by love and happiness... inhale the fumes and buy the album

 

To be up against Arashi at that point of their career was a given 2nd place but it was a good fight though.

 

Splendid first week

 

[satchan]

Heh, I still believe Johnny's deliberately challenged NMB to keep NMB from creeping up on their numerous "#1 since debut" records. It's no accident Johnny's, an agency notorious for gunning for #1 releases, would just "happen" to release a single for their biggest group against the only 48 group they could beat, only a month before another Arashi single.

 

They did similar things against Nogizaka46 and Not yet to end (or in Nogizaka's case, prevent) #1 debut streaks. It almost backfired against Not yet until they scheduled emergency handshake events for other groups for buying the single. Maybe I'm paranoid, but just keep an eye on Johnny's release patterns vs. HKT when Johnny's has an idea what HKT is going to sell.

[Tsurugi_Ken]

Well, can't really help it as they know how to play dirty while being legal. It's just showbusiness unfortunately.

 

The thing is though, most of their groups can't take on AKB, and are barely evenly matched with SKE. With the 48 group grabbing more female fans, they still have a solid grasp on things. The main problem is how to sustain those sales. I'm sure Akimoto has something planned for that though.
