Album AKB48 8th [Thumbnail] (17/01/25)

What happened is this: 1-8th round, extra rounds, resale round for cancelled orders in 1-7th round, resale round for cancelled orders in extra rounds (currently).

For your 2nd part, it's because it's not officially stated who is almost sold out during resale rounds - there is no point. It's only mentioned in the normal rounds as a courtesy to inform customers that there is a very high chance of not winning any of these slots. In resale, there's no lottery going on.

 

Yeah, but if they had to pay by Round 8 and they didn't do so, they just open up.
I have no idea how many rounds they're doing these days. I just hope they copy Nogi's method and just keep doing resales and resales and resales until the event itself is over.

The thing with the HS numbers is that we don't know how much it takes for a slot to open up.
I mean, for all we know, Yuiyui could have 12 slots at 100% and the other 12 at 90% and yet they appear as not sold out becuase they aren't, but the numbers are still good.

 

@ZenigameX that makes sense, thank you.

@Trinu that's the annoying part. We keep judging their popularity by their handshake sales when those numbers were never made for us to know how popular they are but just what's available. Though you can actually see that when you're there.

 

We can infere though.
If Yuiyui stays at 12/24 but keeps getting those 24 slots in every release (or more), we can assume that enough people (probably more than 50% per slot) go to see her for management to consider it profitable to have her there.

 

Is the almost sold out slot no longer marked with "*"?

Never saw any since months ago in many HS result.

OMFG THAT RAP PART! Killed me, so cute.

 

So much post-processing vocal there. Makes you wonder if this can be pulled live or not.

 

Playback =)
Britney Spears has been doing this for years hahahhaha

 

@Minami_san Damn right hahaha

 

Is that it for resale rounds or would there be more later on?
Thanks. I'm trying to remember which girls were not sold out at particular time slots (for the tickets I won) so I'll know which ones have shorter lines. But if there's another resale round(s) then things will change again lol.

 

Looks like management is going for another method to shift copies of the new album. A new blog post has appeared today on the AKB48 site: http://ameblo.jp/akihabara48/entry-12237709005.html

As far as I can make out, anyone who attends the upcoming series of concerts at TDC can reserve a copy of 'Thumbnail' at the venue. Then after the show they can HS with the 3 girls listed in red for each show on this page at the King Records site: http://www.kingrecords.co.jp/cs/pages/AKB48_TDCmember.aspx

So for example, it looks like anyone who reserves a copy at tomorrow night's show can HS with Kasumi Mogi, Oda Erina and Yoshikawa Nanase. (I think everyone so far named on that page is from Team 8).

 

Why Kojiharu's grad song is not there????? she will be on AKB next single or something?

 

It's most likely. Unless she is too tired to even record a grad song(?) Lol

 

most prob will be in the next single as coupling song? i don't think management will let her center another single when her graduation is around another month...

 

Her positioning as center in the album artwork is a bit weird though.

She's not centering any song there (apart from her unit song, probably) so... if it wasn't foreshadowing the next single (like 0to1), I don't know why that was.

We should be hearing the new single during the RH if everything goes as usual, so we'll see in a week.

 

Well my theory is that her graduation song will be included in the next single but she won't be in the A-side senbatsu. Therefore she won't appear on any of the covers for the new single and that's why they made her center of the album promotion and the Type A cover, kinda as a last hooray for Kojiharu. Does that make sense?
