Single AKB48 50th [11-gatsu no Anklet] (17/11/22)

Honestly petition for a dance version to be realized or at least a performance, I hope they do another dance senbatsu theater performance just to include this song

 

Noza in JKT's RIVER because she's 1st gen, her dance skill is average.

Agreed with Ichikawa Manami and Yamada Nanami

 

The dance senbatsu song could rank at Request Hour? It probably won't, but I gave it a vote anyway. Would love to see performed live.

Mine arrived two days ago and I got the same picture as well. I learned that if you pre-order a CD on CDJapan, you get an exclusive pre-order photo (for #SukiNanda I got a picture of Takayanagi Akane and unfortunately, I don't know the other girl's name). Everyone else who pre-ordered the CD on CDJapan should have gotten that picture too

 

^ for the 49th single I ordered them through Amazon Japan. Arrived with cracked cases and no specials.

So for me now

CDs from CDJapan
Magazines from Amazon.jp

 

Is 11 gatsu no anklet on the same level of public recognition such as HR, Koichun or 365? Or still too early to tell?
CD sales apart, I know this was voted #1 in Kouhaku although it was a lot more to do with Mayu's send-off. Speaking of the song itself, is it a big hit or on the way to become so?

 

^ I always listen to it at least 2 times a day, it’s a great start song to my eras. But I’ve no idea how the Japanese reacted

Japanese Billboard Hot 100 is one of the best ways to mesure popularity of the songs, it is not only based on sales (which especially in Japan are determined by tricks like handshake events but not mesure the popularity of the songs herself) but count also radio airplay, by 2017 also streaming services, popularity on socials etc.

unfortunately 11 gatsu no anklet is not a hit for the public but for me, it's one of the best AKB singles by far... here's the 2017 year end chart if you are curious to know Japan's most popular songs of 2017

It's impressive how Keya is dominating its sister group and the rest of 48 groups

 

Amazon.co.jp does do exclusive photo bonuses too, but you have to buy a special copy that mentions the exclusive in the title (on a separate listing to the usual Limited/Regular Editions). It costs more than getting the CD without the bonus photo. Pretty rubbish considered CDJapan gives you the bonus photo for free as long as you order the CD while they still have stock.

 

Spoiler

Considering Keyakizaka is the "SKE48" of the 46 series yeah... it's so huge and impressive, it looks more like a third main group than a sister one.

 

CDJapan sells all CDs with the original price, while Amazon usually gives a discount on CDs that do not have bobus photos. So with bulk buy for HS its cheaper to go for Amazon

 

Not even close

That's a good point, and I'd assume most people would only want one photo given it's the same bonus with each CD, so if you're buying multiple versions on Amazon, you can buy one of the more expensive CDs to get the bonus photo and then buy the others at the cheaper price.

I guess if you're going for one version and want a bonus photo, go for CDJapan, but go for Amazon JP if you're a collector of all versions/want to attend HS. Which is what you just said, sorry I agree with you!

 

If you are a collector of CDs go CDJapan. The packaging protection is better.
