Single [SINGLE] Nogizaka46 6th Single [Girl's Rule] '13/07/03

​

Ngzk is currently in a partnership with NEXCO East Japan (East Nippon Expressway Company)!

NEXCO East Japan is the private operator of expressways and toll roads in eastern Japan. For this partnership, many activities have been made! Here's a translation for a rough idea of what these activities are (with thanks to caramujo!)

In addition to providing that super-large Garuru group pic at the top, & a bunch of nice activities, the official web also provided Garuru full-body profile pics of the members! You can access them at the bottom-most of the official web, or at the Nogizaka gallery here!

 

The tie-ins that I'm seeing... They're quite unusual...now we're talking about the guys who manage the Japanese toll roads!?

 

^Good day ryandtw! & yes, NEXCO West Japan managed all toll road in the huge eastern portion of Japan! Here's a Japanese Wiki page, & below is a image to give you can idea of the range they cover. Its all the green area! The organizations Ngzk get to work with are interesting no? XD







In other news, remember this cute purple shrine below?
This left-side image is taken from the official site. Someone took a picture of the actual shrine tho, on that is the right image! Its super small & cute~ XD The large posters are nice too~


In order to find these shrines, you can go to three lines, they are:
関越自動車道　Pasar三芳アトリウム
関越自動車道　高坂SA(下り線)
関越自動車道　上里SA(下り線)

I'm assuming these are expressway lines, but not sure lol. In addition, you can find paper strips with our Ngzk members' own handwriting on it, so you can pray to the shrine with the members too~ Such a nice tie-in~ >______<

I want the cute little shrine lol. They should sell it in their official shop!

 

Wow they have one in PASAR... Ive been there several time^^
It is a service area at highway.
I dont know what they call "service area" in other country,
in Japan, resting place at highway is service area AKA SA^^

 

^tha's so cool~ \(^o^)/
I think I know what it is now, & its called rest areas for the most part I guess.

Also, there's a tweet floating around twitter. Oricon haven't updated yet, but I don't think this is wrong.


If true, Ngzk got 17,656 sales for the 2nd week~
Not sure wha's the 2nd week for the previous singles, but I think tha's solid result. \(^o^)/
This will leave Garuru with 354,794 total sales for the 2nd week!

Reika & Wakasama continues their explosion in sold-out, having +11 & +10 respectively compared to the last single! Naachan & Manattan also reign high, with +10 compared to last single too! Additionally, Sayurin & Minami have narrowed their lost compared to last single to 2~3 by now, indicating their slower increase might be a result of slower fan mobilization instead of a decline. Ikoma's number continue to be concerning however.

Overall, almost everyone's number have seen a healthy increase. Will the most recent NogiDoko episode, featuring active unders participation for the first time, bring in increased block sold-out in the future? Methink that will be something worthy of observation.

 

invisible Maiyan Nanase so good and I think Sayurin & Nanamin not bad, esp Nanamin popular more recently, she's very beauty in swimsuit in summer nude drama

Ikuchan doing good, and how do you think about ikoma, her slot is very very bad, why ppl dont want to meet her?

 

Ikoma hasn't been good from last few singles. Now, she is not the center, with lesser exposure, I guess this makes her situation worse.

 

Garuru got 5th on Oricon this week with sale of 15,894! This is an improvemt over 9th for their last week but a bit lower than last week's sale of 17,646.
That bring to total to 370,688 alrdy! It is getting closer to the the 400k mark! \(^o^)/

I just watched the PV for Girl's Rule (for some reason, I really like the song, I guess it kinda has an Idol beat to it) and I noticed something, and it's probably been noticed by most of you too:

Girl's Day PV: http://vid48.com/watch_video.php?v=D39KXSG816GS

*Go to 1:36*

Isn't the dude from the (BS) drama Terrace House that Rie-chan was in a while ago??

Yup it is!

In addition to these data, there are reports on the August 27th individual handshake event to supplement us with additional information!

Words are that the 2nd gen have very few ppl going for them, including Karin even, which is surprising considering the high blog comment counts the 2nd gen have been receiving. There is one exception tho, & that is Hori Miona! While my perception beforehand was that Karin, Miona, & maybe Kiichan were the top three of the 2nd gen, it seems now there might only be one queen, & that being Miona! Another person noted with people going for handshake is Nanatsun, which have a decent crowd (in comparison to 2nd gen), & more so than Karin once again! However Miona was queen by all account it seems.

The reports also says it was apparent that the Top Trio of Maiyan, Nanamin, & Sayurin have the most ppl. Naachan doesn't seems as much, even tho she sold more than Nanamin & Sayurin, raising speculation that her strength is built upon huto wotas (rich wotas). However, there are widespread complaints of Naachan's timer pulling ppl rly fast, which can explain her seemingly less crowd. Someone said that handshaking with Sayurin, Ikuchan, & Ikoma can be as long as 7 sec, Manattan, Kazumin, Wakasama, & Maimai as long as 6 sec, but Naachan only 4 sec! If true, this indeed can significantly alter the crowd number. Maiyan was once again the undisputed queen with the most crowd.

Maimai's lineup was said to be as long as Manattan's line, while Misamisa also reported a lot of ppl, might be more than Ikuchan even?! Lastly on something random, reports are Hinapyon was spotted bringing Ashu out to purchase stuffs~ How sweet of her lol. ^_^

 

A point which I think should be noted is the schedule of these events - which could be the reason why Nanamin and Sayurin haven't sold out by this point. The last two events, which both of them are struggling to sell, are just too far away from now - Sep. 29th and Oct. 13th. Looking back at Kimi no Na's schedule, all the events were scheduled in around 1.5 month (mid-March to end of April) and relatively close to the application's deadline. It is quite inconvenient for fans to plan 2-3 months ahead, so they probably were less inclined to buy up those slots.

 

Garuru got 11th & 10,378 sale on Oricon for this week! So far:
Week 1　#01　337,138
Week 2　#09　_17,646
Week 3　#05　_15,894
Week 4　#11　_10,378

That bring to total to 381,066! Hope it can pass the 400k mark!

Yay for Captain Reika [clap] Compared to 5th's single's HS event, this time, she got many more people who wants to meet her. Maybe the effect of her bungee jumping?

Well, from the HS result, we just know how many slot that the members have sold. In the slots which haven't sold out, we don't know exactly how many percent it's sold. In Ikoma's HS result, so far she only can sell out 1 slot from total 28 slots. but maybe in other 27 slots, she sells more than 90%. we don't know. Or maybe 70%, 50%, or maybe lower. we don't know exactly. But 1 thing for sure, she's not popular enough among N46 fans (especially she's the face of N46)

Hope N46 will make events that will boost the CD sales so they can reach 400k [rock]

Girl's Rule sounds like the type of single that AKB48 used to produce in the past. It has a distinctive sound [rock] . Kind of like Oogoe Diamond or Iwake.

 

I wonder why they cut the last scenes from the pvs on the yt..

In the 'Sekai de Ichiban Kodoku na Lover' dvd version the bike get hit by a car in the end, and in the 'Hoka no Hoshi Kara' it show the house floating in the space plus one more scene with Nanase. Both are just few seconds.. I don't see any reasonable reason to cut this..
