Single Nogizaka46 11th (Inochi wa utsukushi) (March 18, 2015)

This suspense is getting to me too!!! So close to 500k, I think with the adjustment it will make it!

 

Man, it really looks like they're going to just miss it by a few thousand. So close to the milestone. Ganbatte girls! >♢<

 

^Wotas better go out in force and purchase more singles to make it happen.

 

To be honest, I still havent ordered the single myself. It's kind of an awkward time right now since I'm moving this week and don't want to have worry about a package arriving at the wrong destination. But hey, the weeks following first are important too.

Maybe we'll get lucky and another lovesick Ikoma wota will decide to wreck his finances and buy 16k copies tomorrow.

 

We're smelling 500,000...!!!

 

Day 5: 9287
Total: 492,420

 

Looks like this will hit 500,000 in 1st week.

I'm so happy with the result. With this, Inochi's has surpassed Nandome's 1st week sale. Considering Inochi has less HS event, this is so good for Nogi. Actually, I was afraid that Nogi has reached their peak in Kizuitara Kataomoi seeing how this single is popular. And their sale drop in Natsu Free Easy. The sale is increasing in Nandome but the main reason is because Nandome has 7 HS event (I guess this is because Sony wanted to boost the sale to aim Kouhaku at the end of the year).

Seeing Inochi's sale, I think Nogi has gained more fans and if Sony keep promoting Nogi, they can keep on growing.

Nogi usually has +1500 copies for end week sales adjustment..So if tomorrow Nogi can sell at least 6500 copies then well get 500K for the 1st week..

For the sake of our beloved chibi center...

 

7,580 to go till 500k. Considering that adjustment have been around 1,679 for nandome, 1,462 for freeasy, & 1,823 for kizukata, only a sale of like 6,200 might be needed lol.
It's still not a sure thing to pass 500k but the chance is looking real good now! ^O^

Ok, I absolutely love this song, but am I the only one that always thinks of this when I see those dresses they're performing in?

Spoiler

I mean, the dresses make their bodies look so square, and you can't see the movements other than the hands and legs sticking out...

Or maybe I just need to cut down on my beer...

 

So judging by past sales trends, if they do their normal 1-2K drop then it'll be just enough but for them to reach 500K tomorrow then adjustments can be icing on the cake. If they do their irregular 3K+ drop though then adjustments will just put them on the mark. What a tease.

 

One...more...day...!

 

Day 6: 5826
Total: 498,246

1754 adjustment shouldn't be a problem.

 

はっ!？

 

Much like AKB48's Green Flash for the million when it had less than that prior to the Tuesday morning announcement with adjustments...pretty much (99.99%) certain we're getting 500,000!

And I don't think Nogizaka46's going to stop there either! Hopefully...

EDIT 12:22 PM U.S. PDT (UTC -7; 4:22 AM JST 2015/03/24): Here's Oricon's article and report on Nogizaka46's sales. We did break the half-a-million barrier! Almost 503,000; ~502,970 as officially counted by Oricon.

^based on that article, I think the actual number is 500,297 lol xD
So rly just whiskers above the mark! That means an adjustment of 2,051 which is still pretty good lol. Now just need to wait for soundscan, & hopefully we got some more decent surprise there too lol

500k in one week!! Nice!!!

 

Whoa! #NearMiss again! History repeats itself!

 

Per the news article at Oricon:
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2050461/

With this 10th weekly number 1, they are now the FASTEST girl group in history to reach 10 number 1s in 3yrs 1mth, beating SKE48 who took 4yrs 8mths \o/

Also in the ranking for girl groups with consecutive number 1s they've surpassed Pink Lady (9) to move into 3rd place behind SKE and AKB. Very nice

 

500K OMEDETOU!
