    I'm stuck at home today as my car is in for repair, but my good news is that I had a delivery from CDJapan of KwM Type E regular edition, the first time I've ever had a single on my doormat on the day of its release. Here are some pictures:

    I'll buy some more editions when I'm in Japan in a couple of weeks.

    Hopefully this time the digital sales number is good. KnBMB was really poor. Otoh, 365 is a gold seller as in being sold more than 100000 times digitally, which is the highest, by far, digital single sales from 48/46 group song. The 2nd one is Nogi 13th single Ima, Hanashitai Dareka ga Iru, 3rd is HN, both are at around 30000. KnBMB, at least until last December it was less than 5000.
    Btw, most of the numbers is from iTunes. The gold cert is from RIAJ. 365 iTunes number until last December is almost 99000.

    With all the hype about this single, and everyithing they did to make it succesful, it would have been a real problem if it didn't sell well! However I think it has a bit exceeted the expectation even if it had all that huge hype, so congratulations! :p

    I mean KwM hasn't dropped from the Top 10 yet (from Recochoku) and it was released digitally a couple days before the physical release. And 365 is still in the Top 10 lol. So, there's still some time to know~

    But congrats to AKB~~

    ^ Because she's graduating? And she wants to give the chance to SKE juniors.

    That was better than I expected but I didn't know about the lottery. AKB isn't doomed yet. :D

    I'm glad you remembered that sister group members are participating in all these handshake events.

    I'm glad this sold better than their latest singles. It's a clever marketing trick. Also, the sleeves are stunning! I can't wait to see more of them.

    I doubt Nogi helped much tbh.
    If anything it made a frenzy in the fandom, but nothing like the graduates coming back.

    Best sales after HN!
    Here's hoping it has some staying power in the charts and doesn't end up with 1.2 million.

    @Togasaki didn't NGT participate in Kuchibiru too?
    Although everything points at that single """failing""" because of the best album and not at the lack of gimmicks.

    True that, probably because its the SSK single and people want to see their oshi after the election. And this single only have 5 days of HS (the matsuri doesnt have nearly as much as tickets as normal hs days)

    Well, looks like the dust has settled. Only day 1, and already, over 1.1 million...

    IMO, Nogi didn't helped that much to increase the sales... Nogi fans are saving for "sky-rocketing" Harujion ga Sakukoro in two weeks.
