    Well, Sakamichi groups don't need anymore the extra push, from AKB48 release, neither IZ*ONE like their current sales are showing.
    1/3 tracks less and still as many girls as ever to be featured. They did their choice.

    i like the title and hope the song delivers like Sakura no ki ni Narou (still their best spring release to date; albeit I have a soft spot for Green Flash cause those B-sides slapped).

    I really look forward to Mii-chan's grad MV now tho

    Good. Sakamichi48 songs are a crutch at this point.

    It hasn't been about push for a while. It's about hyping up AKB releases. Crossovers make headlines.

    Making the headlines is a part of the extra push, i hope you see the point.

    More like AKB need 46G fans to buy new single so the one-million sales wouldn't end
    (although it will be funnier if one-million sales ends lol)

    AKB back than: Hundred of girls compete to participate in AKB's A-side song.

    AKB right now: Even for the B-side song the should strunggle and competing with management's favorites.

    SixTONES vs Snow Man's (new Johnny's groups) Oricon sales numbers are off the roof. Any guesses whether AKB48 wotas want to - and will - counter their 1.3 million first-week sales with this single or not?

    I'm not convinced with this anymore.
    Sakamichi inclusion is a 1 time a year thing.
    And despite their absence and the current troubles, the other singles still manage to reach their milestone.
    Thanks among some things to those neverending resale rounds.
    There are chances the HS sales alone are now enough to reach the "goal". Sakamichi fans don't participate in those.
    Also the upcoming change in AKS organisation looks like a 1st step to greatly reduce Aki-p's involvement.
    I wouldn't be surprised if the sakamichi absence is also a part of this.
    And the financial aspect might be in play.
    46 girls inclusion isn't a free thing. After all, Sony has it's share from those kind of songs.

    Each of the singles has their own gimmick along with the usual HS sales.
    The crossover was one form of gimmick diverse from the others.
    Sakamichi girls didn't do HS but they did very un-Sakamichi insert photos which were very popular and are currently super expensive on the resale market.

    But AKB sales are more stable than they were two years ago (especially pre-orders) so they probably don't think it's necessary/worth the costs.

    Are those Johnny's groups selling millions as well? I thought that was just a 4846 thing!

    Would OP mind capitalizing the title? It's been the standard so far.

    I still don't understand their sales... it's like if all 48G SG release their singles in one day and all their sales are summarize? :wtf::wtf::wtf:

    She won't. She has been in the group for 3 years and has graduated from school so I don't think there are any reason could make her graduated.
    And she perform in the theater regularly so yeah, it wouldn't be another Moeka case as for what I know this girl.

    46G fans did not involved in rising of HS sales tho, but they could buy regular edition with rare photo gimmicks (don't know if 46G have same photo gimmicks like 48G have).

    IZ*ONE and Hinatazaka 46 have great start for AkiP-produced group so I hope this single will be good (although I bet the song will be very classic idol song since the center is your typical orthodox-dol)

    This is what happened when you forced 2 JE fandoms to buy one single thing. Not particularly sure with Snow Man's popularity, but SixTONES is hella popular

    It was counted as ONE single release
    I think they'll release their 2nd single separately and you'll see their "real" sale number
