Here's my question..

currently there's 880 slots available for this single. 1 slot = about 300 CDs right? even if they sold out 100% of the slots... 880X300 = 264,000 copies.... doesn't that mean the rest of the CD sales are purchased by people who want the CDs? not for the HS?

 

I'm a bit surprised about the drop...or should we not be surprised about it after what someone said about last year's drop (Hadashi) compared to its previous single (Harujion)?

 

Actually, Nogizaka46 is the only group I buy cd's from (because there is no vinyl, which I mostly buy from other artists).
I don't care about HS, I just want a copy of every album and single in my collection.

Day 2: 74,264 (1st)
Total Sales: 790,461

 

That's higher than Influencer's 2nd day sales right?

 

Influencer's second day sales were 61,388. So that's a good 13k higher. I'd still say this was impressive

 

Billboard 925,531

How is SoundScan tracking the sales compared to Oricon? That's a huge difference. SoundScan numbers is from 7th to 9th of August.

 

This may help or confuse you. For us fans, the Oricon count is the one that matters.

Is this the first time that the soundscan and oricon numbers differ so much for nogi?

It looks like with Oricon, if fans buy 100x of the regular edition from FortuneMusic for the individual HS event, it is only counted as 1x.

SoundScan counts all 100x.

 

Btw, anyone interested in the HS tickets, i have no plans of going to HS events, can send it thru post
included in the CDs are pics as well, got asuka, sagara and inoue pics if anyone's interested

 

The last time I heard about the rules, Oricon will actually count until 20

There are also rules like no overseas sales are counted.

WHOA, what a jump!

(For comparison, 'Influencer' was 804,415 after two days, so this means the sales gap could close up soon? Hmm...)

Umm...did you actually see this message though?

Could this mean there could be a variance on how the sales are being counted though? It seems some stores may be withholding numbers for that day or something...

 

This is a interesting video! He discribe every CD-type! Why no one told me how good the back cover looks!

The sale is quite good and steady. I hope a Taiyou Knock miracle will happen in the middle of the week sales.

Overall not fond of this single. Except for #1 and #2, the rest just don't work with me.
