SDN48 tops Oricon Weekly Chart for the first time with their 1st/last album

​

On the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking for the week of March 26th, SDN48’s first and last album, “NEXT ENCORE” (released on the 14th), sold 48,000 copies in its first week and thus, topping the charts. This album marks the first time since their debut to achieve first on the Oricon charts.

SDN48 formed back in August 2009 under the mature concept of “Saturday Night’s 20 and over female group” and released their debut single, “GAGAGA”, back in November of 2010. Four of their singles consecutively placed 3rd in the rankings and their last single, “Makeoshimi Congratulations”, took the 2nd place in the rankings as of last week.

When asked how they felt about their album topping the charts, SDN48’s captain Noro Kayo exclaimed, “First place, it’s not a dream right!? I am extremely happy! It has been our dream since our debut to top the rankings and I would like to thank the fans for making this wish come true.” She added, “Although there are only two weeks left to our graduations, we, SDN48 will do our best to the end so please cheer us on,” and called out to the fans for their support.

​

SDN48’s graduation will be held in NHK Hall in Tokyo on the 31st for all 39 members.

Declaration of self-exile at SDN's forthcoming performance at AKB 2013's Revival Conert Series
http://ameblo.jp/machi-pie/entry-11522433395.html

ALREADY THE PRESS & TABLOIDs ARE HAVING A FIELD DAY IN RUMOUR-MONGERING ANYTHING REMOTELY RELATED TO AKB & SISTERs' GROUPs

This time they smelled blood & have even gone as far as
HEADLINES its the Rinatin AV Saga all over again
that her Kanzen Furunudo Pictorial Spread is but the prelude
paving the way for her imminent AV actress debut

Machi-pie's self-exile at both the Graduation Anniversary & forthcoming Revival is just out of consideration for the greater good of the others
to distance herself pre-empting the inevitable bad press fallout & lingering negative impact casting a dark shadow on SDN & the 48 family as a whole
BUT I AM AFRAID WE HAVE ALREADY SEEN THE LAST OF HER AS SDN AT THE 2013 REQUEST HOUR 18th RANKING PERFORMANCE FOR KODOKU NA RUNNER even if she advance no further into the Adult Entertainment Industry which i believe it to be true

 

Miyu has a solo live on the 2nd of September. Details on her blog.
