    We're going to need a list of all the sales records AKB has done so far o___O, I'm already forgetting them...

    On the other hand I'd rather wait until they hit the million. If they do it before the week ends, I'll print that Oricin page xD So far, congrats, girls :D

    lol trying to guess whether with the next single they'll sell even more or stabilize at last is funny xD

    I've only been following J-Pop for like, 5 years... so all that 20th century sales madness... I haven't witnessed it xD So it's the first time I'm seeing something like this. Part of is just kinda "LOL" at how ridiculously high these sales are xDD

    Congratulations, girls! <3
