LOOK AT THAT NUMBER!!!

For comparison's sake, our previous Soundscan numbers,
150,482　Inochi wa Utsukushi
112,274　Tomuei na Iro
117,249　Nandome no Aozora ka?

_70,665　Oide Shampoo
_80,175　Guruguru Curtain

LOOK AT THAT GROWTH OF 32,939 OVER OUR PREVIOUS BEST RECORD SET BY KIZUKATA!!!!!! /O/

Just for more comparison, I believe Green Flash sold 181,836 for their 1st week Soundscan? I'm not too sure tho lol. But if that's the right number, nogi's certainly edging closer to it if we keep this growth going forward! ^O^

 

Well isn't that just the whip cream and cherry on top?

 

I think this single is pretty solid. I enjoy all the songs to include DVD content. For me, Tachinaori is my favorite. I am thoroughly enjoying this "Nogiboom" and also looking forward to the next single.

Inochi @ UTAGE

Yep. Green flash's soundscan number is around 180K. I think it's kinda unfair to compare the soundscan number of Inochi and Green Flash. Green Flash has 8 edition, 4 limited editions and 4 regular editions. Inochi has 3 limited edition and 1 regular edition. Green Flash has type A, S, N, and H which include AKB, SKE, NMB, and HKT's song & PV in its certain type. So it's like comparing the sale of Nogi vs whole 48group. And, seeing the number 150K vs 180K, Nogi did a really great job.

But, if we compare to 48 sister groups' latest soundscan number, Nogi sure ahead of them..
SKE48 12 gatsu no kangaroo (4 types): 88,370
NMB48 Rashikunai (3 types) : 75,730
HKT48 Hikaeme I Love You (3 types): 80,615


No news about Nogi on Music Station???

 

Holy sh*t!! That soundscan is really high!!
Nogi is really becoming the rival they set out to become!



AMAAAAZING!! \(^o^)/

 

Congrats for the 500,000 sales for first week!!! Amazing!!! and wow the soundscan numbers are great too!!! o____o

Nogi are doing so well, better than 48 sister groups too, and if they increase their overall sales, they could reach AKB's level soon o____o
The whole AKB vs Nogi rivalry that was planned might happen then XD They're like how AKB used to be, in 2010 or so.
They have many popular top members (like Kami 7). I'm not saying they're exactly alike, but they're getting popular the same way as AKB.
Now I expect a great song for next single, a cheerful/summer song!! After that they can do bigger concerts, then get invited to Kouhaku...

I hope that this year will be their most successful one since debut!! and also that the members can have more individual projects too ^-^

 

Congratulations to Nogizaka46! Keep this up and I wish someday they can hit 1 million! x3

 

So they managed to reach the 500k mark. A pleasant surprise

^ Sayuringo's still doing pretty well really. And yay for Kazu getting in there ^^

 

it is time to push ashurin and minami hard.at least put them in fukujin especially that one spot in fukujin..

 

^ Eto deserves that spot Rena's going to leave empty

 

Yesssss that spot should be Misa's by right! She's earned it! And the free senbatsu spot should go to either Saito Yuuri because I'm biased and I love her or more realistically another 2nd gen. Miria is adorable, and it would be perfect to start pushing her now.

 

Slowly but surely for Ringo. With these numbers, I'm feeling optimistic with her selling out.

 

Very good news for Ringo indeed, was looking pretty bleak there in the beginning rounds. Mgmt may punish her a while longer but if fan support is still there then we can see her make a grand return.

 

I like Sayurin a lot, so I hope she can bounce back. For all their zealousness about the no dating rule, most devoted japanese fans tend to forgive their idols if they show remorse and work hard.

 

omg yes! hoshimina HS is really good.
i am glad to see people starting to support sayurin again.
i hope she could smile more from now on.
that gloomy expression doesnt suit her after all~

 

Week 2 sales: 23,914 (524,211)
Week 3 day 1: 7226

 

With that HS result Misa-senpai should be in fukujin in the next single. My ideal idea : Rena's spot is for MaiMai and Misa moves to 2nd row

Today's Oricon is dominated by Aki-P's daughters
1. SKE 573.074
2. NMB 381.650
3. Nogi : 7226

Wow..Look at SKE's 1st day sales. Nogizaka still way long to go to reach that number especially if Nogi continue to only has 6 HS event.
