Single HKT48 5th [12 Byou] (2015/04/22)

what about Ruppi/Sakura/Mio kennins then?
or Anna/Natsumikan?
how do they compare in presence in AKB/NMB/SKE to Kanon's presence in HKT?
How many times has Non performed with KIV in theater? I know she was there for shonichi, and then?
this is a genuine question, since I really do not know.

 

I think a friend of mine did some countings and Non was present in the HKT theater 9 times iirc.

As for Haruppi/Sakura/Mio, they're basically HKT Senbatsu Top3 (after Sasshi) and they have many activities in Tokyo aside from attending the theater shows. Since you're an HKT fans too, you surely know how rare it is to see Sakura in HKT nowadays. While for Non to be in Fukuoka just for HKT activities must be really costly for them. Remember, every business operates under the basic knowledge of benefit-and-cost. They won't want if the cost is higher than the benefit they get.

Sorry for the bad explanation, I'm not good at this lol.

 

I'm really happy that we finally have a Wcenter with Haruppi and Sakuratan.This is how it should have been in the 1st single. I'm a little upset about Non in senbatsu,I like her but she doesn't bring much to the group and her spot would really help other girls (her kennin isn't helping Non,it's exactly the opposite)
Congratulations to Anya and Nao for returning to senbatsu!

 

@yuki8& that works for the harrupi, Mio and Sakura but Boss and Shige are constantly on the road doing both theaters.

Nons absence is just kind of a weird thing especially when two younger girls are putting in the time in their kennins.

 

@Yuki88 good point, I didn't think about all the other tokyo activities. Thank you for pointing it out. (you've explained it quite well)
@fluffy this however is a good point as well. I guess SKE's management simply might consider it a waste of money, while HKT's management is more interested in promoting their kennins among other groups? SKE also has more members, I guess.
Since they're under different managements and so on.

@tsukiname I'd say the problem with Non's kennin is that it makes her look like she didn't/doesn't commit to her kennin. A bit like what happened to Akicha's JKT story, which was not her fault either.

 

Im so glad that Sakuruppi Wcenter this single. This is what I want to see since ..... Hatsukoi Butterfly. Hope both of them can keep it up.
And stop complaining for second gen since they got push even before 1st gen. It's just how management rotate position for each single

 

There will be three types and it can now be ordered from various stores.

Sakura n haruppi w center is amazing xD was expecting Boss to enter senbatsu :c

 

Listed on cdjapan, yesasia and hmv. Amazon has listings for bonus unique photos and universal music have a maxi which contains all versions.

Not sure what the bonus of ordering the maxi is but you'll need to proxy (tenso or other services) as it doesn't ship internationally. Apparently it only comes with one mini calendar as well which doesn't make sense.

 

Exile is going to release their single the same day as HKT

Oh the irony

 

Gosh, a THREE-WAY fight. HKT48 vs. EXILE vs. Girls' Generation - we're hopeful though HKT48 can get #1...maybe take a look at how well EXILE is doing against AKB48? Not the same success.

 

i don't mind a little bit of a challenge.

It's not as though as going against Nogizaka46 like we did 2 years ago lol

 

if they do go against Nogi now, HKT would be crushed like a mosquito, fun fact the last time HKT went against Nogi, in the long run, Nogi actually won even though HKT sold more 1st week, Kimi no na wa kibou stayed in top 200 for a whopping 73 weeks and sold in the end about 30k more than HKT SSS

but GG i'm not worried, EXILE would'nt be a problem if they don't do an EXILE Pride thing

 

yeah, like SKE going to be crushed like mosquitoes by NMB, right?

 

yup, , it isn't new that the last single NMB crushed SKE like mosquitoes, this upcoming single, i'm not sure since the whole music card makes everything a mess

 

Exile won't beat HKT either. They usually only do like 150k in sales for first week releases.

 

yeah, Exile pride was a one off thing, their last 3 singles or so averaged aroudn 150k indeed, so nothing to worry about unless HKT suddenly dips which i doubt seeing how they still sold like 300k for Hikaeme

 

@Minowa Natsuki Well, Boss got into Wink wa 3kai, maybe she'll get another shot in the future.
or maybe we'll finally see a day where there is an undergirls track for HKT >>;;;;

 

EXILE didn't even beat Not yet's 5th single... but anyways, the one releasing same day as HKT is not EXILE, it's Sandaime J Soul Brothers (also formed by EXILE's producer). They are the latest sensation, their current album is about to beat AKB's album for the yearly #1.

They are releasing 2 singles back-to-back though, one on 15th April, and the other on 22nd April, so unless they have gimmicks (particularly concert ticket gimmicks), I don't think they will beat HKT.

As for GG, I don't see how on earth the word 'VS' can even be used here.

Oh, and since when HKT went against Nogizaka??

 

I don't understand why you would even start to compare HKT's Oricon numbers to Exile's, J Soul Brothers', Girls' Generation or any other artists.
