Album Matsui Sakiko [Kokyuu suru Piano] 12/10/03

that's actually rice vinegar

 

Is she promoting a rice vinegar along with the album?

 

I quickly skimmed through the articles on the site and I'm pretty sure she was showing off more of her personality by saying she puts vinegar in a lot of things she eats.

Also, just so that it doesn't gross people out, that vinegar is more like rice vinegar which is used in sushi rice and is actually not that uncommon for people to use it on other foods. I love using it on gyoza, spring rolls, and noodles

 

Asians only uses rice vinegars anyway, if I'm not wrong the article in the post is much new, all it says was that she poses picture before a promotion for her CD.


Anyway,


Sales so far form Oricon:

First week (Ending 10/22) Weekly Rank: 38th place Weekly Sales (so far): 2,359 Total Sales: 12,622

 

Well, at least a top ten here... (if I predicted the ranking, I'd say it's not as strong as the other AKB48 operations, or AKB48 themselves)

 

If you are referring to other singles by AKB sub unit, then no, it's no comparable. Wasamin's Enka hits 50K before dropped off chart and even Me-tan's "Amai Kokansetsu" (甘い股関節) hits 11K back in 2008. Or Queen & Elizabeth's "Love War" hit 32K as a insert song for Kamen Rider W (fine show, BTW.)

But considering this is a piano album, that is a pretty damn good numbers. Classic music usually don't see 10K too much, even if they are world level.

 

I liked the album overall.
My favorite songs are Tamashii no Idou ~Gugutasu-min no Theme~ , Beginner and Aitakatta.
I also hoped for more original songs but her piano versions of AKB songs are very much to my liking.
