Based on the 1st week sales and this comment Kobushi Factory sold 567 copies during their 2nd week on Oricon.
I'm rather surprised about the huge difference between the two charts during that period to be honest...

Also, for the monthly Oricon ranking Kobushi came up at #13 with the sales of their first two weeks combined (previously mentioned 28,197)

Kobushi Factory is a guest again on TBS radio show "After 6 Junction" live broadcast LIVE & DIRECT corner 5/13/19. They appeared in August 2018 for their previous single. This time, they talk with a different MC host.

They performed a live in-studio performance with a capella.

GO TO THE TOP!! (a capella)

Nen ni wa nen
Haru Urara
Oh No Ounou

I used to like this group so much when it still had all its members. I think it was even better than Tsubaki IMO so it's sad their sales are so low now. But I think they should go back to the style they had before if they want to gain popularity again, all their 5-nin singles are quite boring IMO, this last one is the first I really like! I love Haru Urara!

From JPLOP:

Oricon 3rd week
Weekly Rank #78
Sold 359
Total 28,556

Oricon 4th week
Weekly Rank #40
Sold 1,309
Total 29,865

Yes! Almost 30k~
If they rank next week it's practically in the bag.

[DiegoKashiwagi]

i dont get why people say their sales are "so low", like, i understand they suffered a drop on sales and that they sell the least put of H!P, but they also are the group with the least members.
And whats more important, they still sell 20k+ (almost 30k) which means they are still popular and a top idol group.

[Gabby]

They sell more now per member then they did as 8 nin. 

There sales for Samba! Kobushi Janeiro / Bacchikoi Seishun! / Ora wa Ninkimono was 44,338 which is about 5,542 copies per member (it was also a triple a-side those just sell more)

Oh No Ounou / Haru Urara sold 29,865 which is 5,973 per member 

 

IDK I don't see the doom and gloom every else does with Kobushi. Their lives still sell well and there's more to being a idol then single sales. 

[Pyo-Kiyo]

I agree with ^ and ^^
It's also worth mentioning that the drop in sales actually came before Rio/Rena/Natsumi left the group with their 4th single
(I blame its promotion a lot, but that's a different story... oh wait there was also the new counting rule applied for the first time for Kobushi as well...)
Anyway, this is what Kobushi's sales look like:


Unfortunatelly, we don't know the number of this single first day sales, only that before the weekend (where it sold 1,729 and 2,421 respectively) it was at 23,480.
As you can see from the graph the first day sales keep being at cca 20k with the exception of their third single.
The rest of the weekly sales are mostly from the release event held during the release week. (eg. for their 4th there were hardly any...)

If you want to apply more Maths then believe that the average First Day sales on Oricon are 21,750 copies (and the average First Week sales are 30,198 copies)

Well, I'm going to stop myself before I write an essay on the Kobushi sales, what influenced them and detailed average sales comparision...
I just want to point out that the First Day sales haven't gone through much of a change over the singles, it's the number of additional copies sold during the rest of the first week that decreased.
