Dat Mocchi center I sure do love when my oshi gets attention! 

[Ares13]

Just wondering .. cos I just realize ..
Is it possible that the good sales is result of fans who preordered single early thinking that the request hour voting ticket is in it ..
but by the time they realize that its not on this single .. its either too late or they can't cancel ... ?

[Krusha]

Too hard to tell. You can say maybe, maybe not. And that's about it.

here's a quote from Hitokage at stage on sales comparisons:

 

 

Soundscan figures:
Limited editions
Type A: 79,157
Type B: 62,975
Type K: 61,435
Type 4: 39,576
Total: 243,143
UZA Limited editions 1st week: 291,979
KFC Limited editions 1st week: 353,660

Regular editions
Type A: 19,736
Type B: 16,592 (Soundscan put this as Type A, so there's 2 regular Type A which I believe it's typo)
Type K: 15,622
Type 4: 11,666
Total: 63,616
UZA Regular editions 1st week: 106,440
KFC Regular editions 1st week: 85,469

Oricon vs Soundscan 1st week
UZA: 1,129,000 - 398,419

^As far as I understand, the difference in Oricon and Soundscan is the handshakes so you can see how much they have increased.

 

 

[Ares13]

^.. I dunno ..
http://www.soundscan.co.jp/about/
where does it says that they don't count handshakes?
or is it in another page? I dunno I don't understand Japanese ..

[drahzaar]

I didn't come to that conclusion myself, it was just what was said.  Seems reasonable to me though.  I don't know japanese either 

[Ares13]

^ok

basically .. I also wonder why can't any of us just go Japan and set up our own chart ..
just demand the figures from every shop or seller and manufacturer .. and they will give it to us ... right?
I mean if they don't .. we got to ask why Oricon and soundscan can get the info and we can't .. right?

[Krusha]

Soundscan does not include theater version singles. Oricon does.

[Ares13]

^ .. oh .. does that mean in summary .. they don't include special version that is only sold in 1 area ..
like those HMV versions or mu-mo versions from idol street which only 1 seller have it .. ?

[Krusha]

I don't know more about Soundscan than that bit on 48 groups and theater versions.

[Ares13]

^ .. oh .. thanks for responding for my questions ..
I really don't know or not sure about some stuff ..
well ..its not important to know now .. maybe I would find out in time ...

anyway .. the final result for the week from Oricon is not out yet?
ain't it a bit late .. I thought it usually come out on the Tuesday evening ..

[Krusha]

Weekly #5 with 30,868 sold.

[Morning Death]

Wait, they sold over a 30,000 more so far after release?! That is freaking impressive. o.O It must be the work of later promo appearances or something.

 

But I have to admit I am bad at numbers and can't recall if this is usual AKB sells for singles entering later weeks though. But considering that that is more than what other idol groups would wish to sell first week, to me is impressive.

[vutt]

^ Well it's the other way around actually. They haven't had so poor 2nd week since "Sakura no Shiori". And that's was more than 3 and half years ago before million sellers era.*
 
*) Ok for truth sake Uchida 2010 janken single 2nd week clocked also around 30k, but Heart Ereki is not Janken single

[Morning Death]

^That is what I feared.

[☆RisaReinaSayu☆]

Heart Ereki hits 30 weeks.

I recently became very addicted to the titular track of this single. I don't even know why. It's just been like an earworm for me. The only way I found to get around it was a 2nd earworm (Let it Go from Frozen).
