Single AKB48 31st [Sayonara Crawl] 13/05/22

I'll take them if you still have them.

PMed you.

 

Week 4 - 12th place - 7,009 copies sold



Total thus far 1,933,454

 

lol, it's still selling after the sousenkyo? That doesn't make sense.

And, do they count the sales in "reselling" mode, whith the 50 yen price?

Because this sales oppose with the picture of package of "manatsu no sounds good" in the garbage....

world of over consommation...what a shame.

 

Okay, uhm... now that's a weird question. Why would they count sales from CDs at resellers? These CDs already have been bought once. Just because the product went from one person to another doesn't mean it was sold twice.

 

^^It does make sense to keep buying after sousenkyou
Some people will desperately want AKB to reach the 2 million mark and keep buying. Some people will want more photos (and with how some prices are, or if you resell photos, it may work out better than auctions or trading). Or you know, some people just couldn't afford it before sousenkyou

 

66,546 to go! Getting closer...

7k a week - in 3 months time? Maybe? Probably not.

 

So, a while ago someone posted this King Records post about the Sayonara Crawl hand shake event.

It is also listed on the Dome's page as happening. I plan on going to Osaka this weekend.

Does anyone know of any other news regarding it, and if anyone is not studying for a Japanese exam tomorrow, could they give a summary of what we do know?

Any help/advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

 

You need to check the official blog for latest news on events.

At the event on the 23rd, you'll be able to use both tickets variety 1 and 2. You can exchange them for handshake and seating tickets starting at 9.30, with the event commencing at twelve.
The lanes are as follows:

I might translate some of the small print for you later, but at this point this is the most important things you have to know. The actual procedure is identical to previous events.

 

Thank you so much.

This is an immense help.

I don't know the procedure at all. Do we have a guide to that someplace?

Is it beneficial to show up many hours in advance of the opening of the doors?

 

There's not much of a reason to show up in advance. As written above, the event begins at twelve. Tickets can be exchanged starting at 9.30, so it's still perfectly alright if you show up at ten or eleven... or three PM for that matter but then you'd miss some of the mini live.

The flow in the venue is pretty straight forward. The easiest thing would probably be to just look at what others are doing. Just make sure you line up in the right place.

 

Any guesses on when the Tokyo-equivalent of this event will be?

 

Thanks for the note. I was getting set to get up at 6am so I could cue up by 7am.

 

I will also be at the Kyocera Dome event tomorrow. I will have 6 tickets; is it like the theater edition HS events where multiple tickets gets you more time or do I have to keep lining up for each ticket? Also, are goods sold at these events?

 

It'll be possible to exchange multiple tickets at the end of the event, but with that number of tickets I'd recommend to visit several lanes.

An overview of goods available at the venue will go up on the Togablog in the next hour.

 

Does that mean can only exchange one ticket at the beginning and must get in line again to exchange another?

I have three tickets, but meeting Watanabe Mayu is my highest priority. My strategy for seeing others will be impacted by the exchange method.

 

Yes, that's how it works. Until the event starts, it'll be limited to one ticket per person. After you're through the lane once, you'll have to return to your seat and either watch the event or exchange another ticket and wait on your seat until your number is called.

 

Kewl. Thanks.

 

Anyone know what the sales are now?

 

It sold 4,574 copies in its fifth week, so the total is at 1,938,028.

 

I'm sorry. But this single in my perspective is just an ordinary song. Hmm sorry, I still prefer EbiKatsu or Ponytail to Shushu. And I think the sales are doing well just because this single includes voting ticket for election. Hmm, I hope next year they will release better summer song because I take this song as degradation 'cause the change of generation.
