Single AKB48 43rd [Kimi wa Melody] (2016/03/09)

They should bring back the bikini single to feel fresh again.
Sayanee as center.
Definitely can reach a million easily.
(talking about sales)

 

AKB48's 43rd Single (Kimi wa Melody) (2nd Day Sales)
Day 2: 36,419 (Total: 1,169,598) (1st)

Past Day Sales

Spoiler

Day 1: 1,133,179 (1st)

 

It's kind of unfortunate we don't get to see soundscan sales anymore...I was actually really curious about what type sold the most lol~

Good 2nd day sales tho~

Btw, if any of u get Atsuko as an insert photo...I automatically hate u lol. The grads insert photo's aren't as expensive as I thought, but Yuko and Atsuko's are going for much higher price than Itano and Mariko's lol. I feel like I'll be losing a lot of money to get Atsuko's photo, but it's kind of worth it, right? lol

 

So, SKE and NogiAKB's versions~~ not that surprising, I suppose lol

 

Here is a taste (Tower Records ranking from the sales on release day)

① Type E (NogizakaAKB)
② Type A (SKE48)
③ Type C (HKT48)
④ Type B (NMB48)
⑤ Type D (NGT48)

I love Sayanee, I love NMB (my fav 48 group) but please don't throw a Sayanee center. Sayanee center is getting boring. Every group in this single had a different center except NMB. If AKB AND NMB are going to rely on Sayanee, what will they do after she graduates?

 

That's interesting. 135k isn't a lot for AKB and since HN did have pretty bad SC numbers, I wonder if this will be the same as HN. Oh well, I guess people are just not caring for the DVD-editions anymore~~

 

NO BIKINI SINGLE ANY MORE

 

If y'all want a fresh center I have a suggestion:

 

Kimi wa Melody performances (until now):

(AKBINGO!) AKB48 - Kimi wa Melody [FIRST LIVE]



2016/02/21 AKB48 - Kimi wa Melody [LIVE]



2016/02/29 AKB48 - Kimi wa Melody [LIVE]



(AKBINGO!) AKB48 - Kimi wa Melody [LIVE] (Kato Rena center version)


if the video does not show watch the video here

 

This song not ranked in recochoku top 10 digital track. i was surprised, i find this song is so public friendly and nice, and with so much gimmick and exposure. why ?

but it got 5th place in iTunes.

 

News relating to the Center Sakura:

She said in her Mobame that she is getting better now and her Grandma flew from all the way from Kagoshima to take care of her. According to the translation Cherry should be back to normal by next week.


The Lesson: If you take your vitamins, germs die faster.

And note to self: Wear Hazmat suit to Handshake event

 

Actually i think this single lacks tv performances

 

not bad
??????????? http://aramajapan.com/chart/exile-a...l-singles-charts-for-the-week-of-32-38/55838/

 

i went to the actual site. and its already dropped from top 10.

what i mean is, this song have so much gimmick, ever. but still, the results shows nothing, its just same like kbmb, poor public recognition. (but kbmb is trash, so its agreeable)

even trash song like HN can even stay in recochoku top 10 for two weeks.

 

This one's different.

①Type A (SKE48)
②Type C (HKT48)
③Type E (乃木坂AKB)
④Type B (NMB48)
⑤Type D (NGT48)

When I first saw the short version of the MV, I'm feeling meh for this single. But now that I've listened to the full version, I'm actually loving it! All B-sides are also very nice. And, my God, are the girls beautiful in the MV. And also,no matter what other may say, I'm loving Sakura as center. She's gorgeous. Hopefully she'll be able to carry on the torch of AKB48.

 

It was in the Top 10 for a couple of days and even went up to 1st,but it's dropped; on the plus side, HKT's, Next Gen's, SKE's, and NMB's song got into the rankings lol
