    This is a thread made to follow the news, discussion, sales reporting, etc. of 46G photobooks. Why both groups? Because I didn't think it would be worth two threads. Time may prove me wrong. Feel free to continue discussion of individual photobooks in any appropriate thread, but I think there is a place on the forum a central discussion thread.

    List of photobooks by release date:

    Format:
    Member/group (# photobook*) title
    1st week sales; total sales we're aware of
    release date | publisher | yearly rank (if known/if ranked)
    *"1st FB" means "fashion book", how we translate フォトブック into English so it doesn't confuse people.

    Why make this thread now?

    I've wanted to do this for a while, I think it was around when all the photobooks in early 2017 came out. But each time a new one came out and I thought about making the thread, I worried that the Photobook craze will die down and it will be meaningless. But with Intermission's amazing sales I figured this was definitely not on the cards.

    From the current data,
    100k sales in first week happen when they have Kodansha as publisher and Kazutakan Nakamura as photographer.


    All Kodansha release are very successful. Start from Passport, Misa's, Neru's, Sugai's, and Intermission.


    I wonder who will be Kodansha next pick?

    Thank you very much for this thread. I have been curious about the statistic of their PB sale for awhile. Glad that we can keep track of it now.

    Finally, Intermission forced to leave Amazon PB's top chart! Risa's PB overtake it.

    https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/top-sellers/books/500592/ref=crw_sbca_ts_books

    Risa has powerful impact. Probably it can sell better than Keya's PB. It published by Shueisha. Pretty obvious since Risa is Non No's model.

    I won't be adding updates every week, but I'll try to be fairly regular.

    This week Ikuta's Intermission came in first again with 27,140 copies, total: 205,828.
    That was expected. What surprised me was all the other Sakamichi members falling off the top 10.

    The chart crowded by bunch new release. Passport and Nogi Satsu sales probably around 1k.

    What's a good way to see total photobook sales? I'm interested in non-Sakamichi photobook sales as well.

    Risa might rival Neru's sales. At least I think she'll crack 100k.

    It really possible. But sales isnt only about Neru vs Risa or members popularity . It also depend how publisher's marketing strategy. Kodansha is more powerful publisher and have brilliant marketing. They manage to promote PB in SNS and TV. While Shueisha kinda hit and miss.

    Just for slaes comparation.

    1. Neru (Kodansha) vs Naachan (Shueisha)


    2. NogiSatsu Vol. 1 (Kodansha) vs 21-nin no Mikansei (Shueisa)


    I feel like Kodansha's PB pushing member into new level popularity (Maiyan and Neru), while Shueisa sometimes just milking member's popularity (Naachan, Waka). Hope Risa's PB as success as Naa's 2nd PB first Sakamichi Series PB that crack 100k and have longevity sales.

    I found an article that said Asuka's photobook had 230k copies in circulation, does that mean that out of those 230k 180k (roughly) is the actual amount sold?

    Yes. Of course Oricon only ever shows the top 10 photobooks, so unless it's in the top 10 (this week requiring nearly 900 copies) we won't have any information about that week's sales. So I'd be surprised if Asuka didn't have nearly 200k, for example.

    Kobayashi Yui's photobook's first week sales are 30,326. Lowest first week sales for a Keyaki member. I have to say I'm quite surprised. I'm curious about Risa's sales now, but I have a feeling no one in Keyaki will beat Neru's first week sales, except for maybe Techi but even that is quite questionable considering her image (and I doubt she'll release a photobook anytime soon). Although there's the Kodansha factor too.

    I can see Yamashita Mizuki being the next Nogizaka member to release a photobook. As for Hinatazaka I think Kato Shiho or Saito Kyoko will be the first (second?) ones.
