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

yey, great news for HKT

 

20,000?! It didn't even sell that much the day after the release. What's going?

 

Must be related to some handshake event. Happens to the other groups sometimes as well

GARBAGE DAY! After two weeks of "Johnny's Sweep" (when Johnny's dominates BOTH singles and albums chart in the SAME week, and occasionally DVD as well)...HKT48 is on top of the daily rankings!

Maybe confirm as HKT48's highest-selling single by next week?

 

there's still theatre ed shipments?

 

Yes, the 20000 sales came from 8th-10th HS resale round for the remaining 3 events.

 

the single is at #5 on oricon daily ranking

what caused the sudden jump?

 

An event, resale something idk

 

Was going to happen eventually. But 12 Byou is now the highest selling HKT48 single of all time. 333,610 is now the total (sold 3,759 in it's 21st week).

great

 

This is always my top favorite song from them. And the MV is shot so beautifully too. Every single solo shots are breathtaking. It's like you are being sucked in by each girls' eyes. And also the final quote from Alice in Wonderlands shown in the end always sends shiver down my spine. I should find out who is the MV director behind all this!

[EDIT]
Found it. The MV director is Takahashi Eiki, the one behind lots of AKB's legendary songs' MVs. He also shot Nogi's Oide Shampoo and Itsuka Dekiru. No wonder, I can truly see his style in Itsuka Dekiru indeed.
