Album HKT48 1st [092] (2017/12/27)

Oh damn. I thought Meru played a mother on her movie. She was actually playing a delinquent 17 years old girl whose temperament changed when she found a neglected baby and raise him/her like her own.

 

Sakaguchi Riko's showing to have 6 sold out slots - 3 on 4/15 and 2 on 4/22.
Sakura briefly had a few slots that weren't sold out but is quickly back to being sold out on all her slots.

 

Man, this would be great if it stayed till the 9th round closing last Friday...

Yah I figured they may be empty sales -- although she's showing sold-out again in the application page for the same 6 slots in the 10th round.
And they haven't asked for payment yet from 8th round onwards (I have one 8th round application that I'm waiting to pay for).
So I wonder how they figured out that they were empty sales -- I thought that was only after payment wasn't made. Well, maybe an order cancellation or some other thing.

Order cancellation is the closest one, to be honest....

HKT48's 1st Album (092) (1st Day Sales)
Day 1: 105,255 (1st)

 

lower than NMB's 3rd Album (137k first day) and Keyakizaka 1st (184K first day), but higher than SKE48's (36K first day).

 

so it is a bad number or a good one?

 

Meh, if you go by direct comparison.

 

Idk why until now they didnt promote their main song in music show to boost their sales
If you look at SKE's/NMB's album promotion, they at least performed Natsu yo, Isoge/Masaka Singapore way behind their released date

But up till yesterday we didnt see any single performance of Hitosashiyubi no Juudan in a music show

And dont forget that AKB's release didnt stop eating HKT's sales

No surprise its low

Last night I viewed all the short films on the copy of Type C which I received last week from CDJapan. I ordered this type because it contained the ones from Madoka and Jiina who are my 2 favourite members in the group. Madoka's was a little disappointing, there wasn't much action and it was only 10 minutes long, although she did get to play the piano! I liked Jiina's rather more, she plays a schoolgirl who has a crush on her teacher but becomes friends with his wife. I think there's quite a lot to the story but my understanding of Japanese isn't good enough.

My favourite film was Amachan's which surprised me as I probably know the least about her of the 12 members on Type C and also it was spooky and I'm not really into that kind of movie. However it was a very gripping story involving cats and cucumbers! My least favourite was Shino's which was just plain weird with plants growing out of dead bodies and I couldn't understand what was happening.

Hanachan's was quite funny with her trying to cycle along with her complaining younger sister reluctantly following her. Haruppi's was also enjoyable although she seemed to be playing a foreigner, she had darkened skin and was speaking a language I couldn't recognise (with Japanese subs). All rather mysterious!

Finally, these are the bonus photos I received. Maichan's was inside the disk whilst Haruppi's was an external store bonus from CDJapan.
