Single [SINGLE] Itano Tomomi - Solo Debut [Dear J] - 2011/01/26

Sales:
162,871 - 1st week
24,105 - 2nd week
9,111 - 3rd week
-------------------- --------------------
Total. 196,087

 

Wow, that's great...!!! With a little luck the single will reach 200,000... [rock]

 

No luck is needed. 200K is a cinch.

 

woah, I didn't expect the debut to hit 200k^^;;
Thats a record! [party]

 

I prefer to wait until it's achieved...so far (provided I didn't make a mistake somewhere)...
162,871 - 1st week
24,105 - 2nd week (14,8% of the 1st week)
9,111 - 3rd week (37,8% of the 2nd week)
Being optimistic (a 37,8% trend)
...the sales for the 4th week would be 3443 to add up to 199,530
...and the sales for the 5th would be 1301, enough to reach the 200,000 barrier
This is an optimistic forecast and it could be wrong. However, I hope sales will be, at the very last, the ones above...

 

karles48, I'm sure she will..

 

I guess I should share this

I stumbled upon on KARA article on allkpop about how profit sharing in Japanese music industry works.

I wonder if it's the same with idols. If it is then that's going to be a lot money in Tomochin pocket for 200 000 singels sold.

 

^As far as I remember idols usually receive a given salary and no share from the sales. Anybody please correct me if that is wrong.

 

Well, finally I was able to listen to all the songs of the single (I've just received it because I was waiting for the AKB single too, and I promised myself not to listen to the songs until I got the CD ). I don't like RnB, funky or soul music too much, so my opinion may be a little biased, but I like the single more than I had expected. Dear J is quite addictive and Stay by my side is a lovely ballad (I was right ordering the Type-B ). So, for me...
Dear J > Stay by my side > TUNNEL = Thank you

 

For me, I'd rank the songs as Dear J > TUNNEL = Thank you > Stay by my side

honestly, when she says "stay by my side" the first 5 seconds in, I was all like [wonder]

you guys know what im talking about

 

Tomomi sold 202K allready! She's allready past the 200,00 mark

For Me: Dear J>Stay by my side>Thank you>TUNNEL

I like all of them, but TUNNEL sorta lacked a punch to me[: Stay by my side is a better ballad thank Thank you IMO[: Dear J, One of the best songs I have! [party]

 

I like Tunnel, the chorus is very addictive

 

YAY [party]
I didn't expect the single to hit 100k but now 200k?!

 

it is....complete

 

Wow, congratulations!!! I thought there were only three versions... [blush] but four Tomochins is always better than one...

 

Sorry about thread necro, but getting 2011 best female solo artist single sales achievement is worthy excuse.
