I don't think so. I don't know if the song was a hit in the States but it went completely unnoticed here.
When I first played Sugar Rush for my young relatives, they all knew it and sang along with "S U G A R, Jump into your Racing Car." I asked how they knew the song and they said Wreck It Ralph. They had no idea about AKB48, they just knew the movie.
A couple of years ago BBC TV News used Sugar Rush as music in a report about a 'mega-milkshake': http://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-36432082/freakshake-the-mega-milkshake-causing-a-sensation
This Indonesian brand of casava chips is popular among AKB48 Group members including Sasshi. If she's gonna come to Indonesia again like in 2012, the first place in Indonesia she'd visit is a convenience store to find her favorite snack.

So proud of Del Toro winning best director AND best picture last night! I guess I have to watch the film now.
It should make a bit bigger the chances of watching the film, since I seldom watch any of the pictures nominated for the best picture (they aren't the kind of pictures I'm fond of). However, I still have in mind Pan's labyrinth, so I guess I'll pass...
Indonesia today: minister of communications & informatics blocks Tumblr because of alleged pornography. They're idiots, people can still access Tumblr with VPN. I posted some on Tumblr today. Seriously. I hope The President will fire minister of communications & informatics. He's fucking useless & cancer to Indonesia.
Solo: A Star Wars Story Japanese poster. So rad! I can't wait for Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs! Note: parsec isn't a unit of time but unit of length used in astronomy. Kessel Run in 12 parsecs means that Millenium Falcon can decrease the distance in Kessel Run from 18 parsecs to 12 parsecs because the spacecraft can go through hazardous routes like asteroids & blackholes. Kessel Run is route used by smugglers to smuggle spices from its mine in Kessel to other planets. About parsec; it's a unit of length used in astronomy equal to 3.26 lightyears. Parsec is invented to make measuring distance of distant objects easier but it's true that lightyear is still easier to understand by general people. Edit: glad that I have a miniature Millenium Falcon. it's made by Tomica.

Jessica Jones second season was a huge disappointment. Spoiler I wouldn't call it a bad season but i was expecting a great villain like Kilgrave or Kingpin and what we get is crazy relative, if that alone was supposed to be interesting it didn't work for me. And once again i had many Deja Vu, its almost like the different staffs don't know that they are doing the same things that the other mavel/netflix tv shows which if find very dumb. So far: DD=JJ=TP>DD2>TD>JJ2=LC>IF
