They've got something like a 10,000 copies lead on KARA now so unless the sales collapse they should get weekly #1.

10k isn't that steep of a lead however.

Re: the videos, yes they should've done more right after the first appearance in Kayoukyoku. Would've made for an interesting series of skits, and you can imagine the development (they start out barehanded and end up in gundam or something).

KARA's sales seem to be dropping faster so I think it's safe.

She's not going to beat her first single though, sadly. Her sales really took a hit even though the single sounds arguably better than her first one. Then again such is usually the case on second singles after the debut. And there's also that scandal to take into account.

They're weekly #1 with around 68,000 copies sold!

Tsurugi_Ken, you also need to consider Budokan which was a very nice incentive for non-fans to buy singles as well, so that helped a lot. Even stranger, is that the theater edition of that single wasn't even considered on Oricon due to 5 original tracks, and not 4 (5 means it disqualifies as a single).

Not sure how theater edition this time around was.

But even so, 68,000 is a nice figure. Glad she got #1!
