Single SKE48 23rd [Ikinari Punch Line] (2018/07/04)

Go Tani lol. I was not expecting her to be the center, but I am glad. And I liked the song too.

 

Team E song is not really my type of song but the video is cute and I'm happy that Nakki and Oka got good positions

 

if the video does not show watch the video here

I love the Team E song and MV~~ does anyone know who the girl with the super long hair in pigtails is??

 

Suenaga Oka

 

Have I missed them or the HS results haven't been posted?
I was just curious to see how they're doing after going all out for the SSK.

 

After 2nd round (there are only 3 rounds atm and we cant know 3rd round’s results because they closed applications so people can pay for CDs)

Suda Akari 18/26
Matsui Jurina 15/18
Obata Yuna 1.2/18.8
Aoki Shiori 1/11.9
Okada Miku 3/6.8
Arai Yuki 0.6/6.6

For now I am not so worried by the results. This is pretty normal for everyone in 2nd round, since SKE allows fans to purchase tickets until one week before the events not many of us are too anxious to buy everything. Jurina usually sell out by now but I guess we are worried she may not show up for the first HS in July hence the number.

 

Also it's almost directly after SSK

 

I think this is the first single ever that I like every single song, from A-side to the B-sides. This is so amazing and I'm not even being overhyped about it. The Team E song is okay but the MV is absolute GORGEOUS and I love Tani's song so much. My 2 favourite B-side song so far is that one and the Team S song, but the other 2 are amazing as well. Thank you management for giving us such an amazing Single

 

Parting Shot and Otona no Sekai are fantastic songs.

The rest are just okay for me. Though I find it funny they actually made a calypo-style song for Team E I think that's our first one!

 

For SKE? Or for 48/46 in general?

 

oops, that was a typo, I meant "calypso" and as far as I'm aware it's the only one in the entire catalog with that style!

^ Is Nogi's 'Ningen to Iu Gakki' considered as calypso?

 

Is the preview for each store's bonus photo available?

nvm, found it.

SKE48's 23rd Single (Ikinari Punch Line) (1st Day Sales)
Day 1: 178,347 (1st)

 

Okay the sale is horrible ... still better than other SG's 1st day sale but a 40~50k decrease compared to last single.

I am going to hope that this is just late shipments and everything, because mu-mo has not shipped my CDs yet. They usually started shipping the day before release. Also, they opened HS applications about a week before release date, which was later than usual.

I wonder how many CDs are lost with 10 slots less than last time from Jurina. I mean, those are 10 full A slots.

edit: They have just added that 4th round of HS will be open from 15:00 JST on July 5th. Well maybe that can help the sale ...

 

Also it's still less than a month away from SSK. SKE fans are still broken maybe?

 

I think this is a big reason. I think there is no official info, but it is assumed that there are 500-600 tickets per each slot, right? Probably even more for SKE since they don't offer those befits (videos, photos, signed cards, etc.) as AKB handshake. If we assume it's 600 tickets per slot, 10 slots is 6000 tickets difference.

Also, their first handshake event on July 16 is on a Monday. It's a day off for some people, but not everyone (myself included, unfortunately). So this could affect the sales. When AKB did a 2 shot event on a similar day (i.e. holiday for some people but not everyone), it was apparently a lot less crowded than usual.

 

This. Think of how many piggy banks were broken just for Jurina and Dasu's votes alone. Let's give SKE fans some slack
