"MIN MIN MIN" first day on Oricon!

MIN MIN MIN was released today (well, yesterday if you take the time difference into account... eh, anyway XD) and managed to secure 2nd place on the Oricon daily single charts with 57,686 copies!

Meanwhile, I found lyrics and I'll be posting up translations of the songs shortly. :3

Also, a reminder, but please buy the single if you haven't already!

"Ai, Chuseyo" sales update!

The second single from SDN48, "Ai, Chuseyo" debuted at #1 on it's first day on the Oricon charts, selling 50,604 copies!

Unfortunately, it then dropped to #6 today, with an estimate (meaning, not a final number) of ~5,000 sales. orz

Of course, there are plenty of reasons to explain that drop.

First, as you should all be aware, Japan is still trying to recover from the earthquake that hit on March 11th, and buying CDs is probably the last thing on most people's minds right now.

Additionally, when the release was postponed from March 23rd to April 6th, that didn't stop it from being released onto Japanese iTunes. So, many people who might have gone to buy a physical copy could have decided to download it from iTunes instead. Of course, that's good since they still get the money, but it's bad since it won't show up on Oricon's charts. But with power outages, disrupted lines of transit, and etc, we can't really blame people for choosing to get it the easier way, can we?

Still, it doesn't matter if they sell 1 copy or 1 million copies. What does matter is that we support them as their fans.

GAGAGA Oricon update (weeks 1, 2, and 3)

I know, I'm really late on this. ,____,  I got really busy right around the time GAGAGA was released and I just couldn't seem to find time to update.

Anyway, most of you probably know, but it managed to come in 3rd on the weekly chart, selling 63,627 copies.  Since then it's hit 23rd and 37th on the weekly chart(s), and has sold 71,714 copies total.  Not too shabby, eh? :D

Yet another GAGAGA Oricon update!

After hanging steady at #4 for two days, the girls have dropped to #5 for the last two days.  We only have a few days left before we find out how much they sold and what rank they got this week.  Let's keep supporting them through the rest of this week and through the weeks to come! :D

GAGAGA Oricon update!

For those in the US, Happy Thanksgiving!  For everyone else, Happy Thursday. XD

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, but after GAGAGA took #1 on the first day, it's been at #4 the past few days.  Unfortunately, we don't know how much it's sold because Oricon only posts numbers for the first three spots.  However, we can say that it's sold under 14,618 and under 9533 on Tuesday and Wednesday's charts.

Even though they've slipped a little, their position has remained steady so far.  Let's hope they have a good rest of the week!
