^

Can't get over the "OMG WOTA BUY SO MUCH THING" can you? Anyway, that's not a fan. That's a guy in china who gets the CDs and sells them there. Do your research first.

Utena · #4 26th May 2011, 11:25 AM

lmao in case you didn't got it, I was joking..
I am not THAT dumb, thanks.

He is OBVIOUSLY a middle man (I believe I've read it on the page as well but for people not understanding japanese it would have been funny to see people's reaction but youobviously just wanna show you're smarter than others great for ya).. like a lot others do, but imagine if like 20 persons did the same 20 x ~6000 copies is already 120k... I've seen a lot of Japanese do that and I even know 2 personally, obviously I know he didn't buy all those for himself lol THAT would be scary.

JackieRos · #5 26th May 2011, 02:04 PM

Lmao oh the drama is always in the air

The CD almost sold 100k that is amazing

its still kinda weird, him having pictures of himself with all those copies... and then the last picture... ewww... lol

Good for them though... maybe it will bump up everyones sells in Japan...? I still think their album is going to do amazing.

^ Their album is going to sell so hard lmao

The limited type-A and type-B editions came with one of two national handshake event tickets, while all four limited and regular A/B editions came with a serial number to vote for a member to participate in AKB48's 22nd single. As well, the theater edition came with an "Everyday, Katyusha" release event handshake ticket and an election campaign picture of one member at random.

Now's everything clear

R_Hikki · #9 29th May 2011, 08:50 AM

If Ayu, Koda and Namie released a single together I wonder if it would even come close to those numbers xD

Bigtop · #10 29th May 2011, 09:02 AM

Now we're waiting to see if they can break the OVERALL record of over 1.2 million, set by Mr.Children...

Damita · #11 30th May 2011, 02:21 AM

^ They broke it

An Ayu/Koda/Namie release might sell 100-150k first week, I doubt much more than that. Despite what many people may say, I think they have very similar fan-bases. Though I would definitely buy that single.

chu-lips · #12 30th May 2011, 02:46 PM

^
did ayu do the same pattern when she released loveappears
she did handshake events too..
now im wondering if ayu kuu n namie colaborated n having the handshake event
how much the single would sell
lol

TITANIC · #13 30th May 2011, 02:54 PM

^ highest 1st week sales for single by Ayu was 550K. not sure it was SEASONS or Evolution but for the album, A BEST was her highest 1st week. A BEST sold 2,8 million copies and 2nd in the world behind Hikki's Distance which sold 3 million

YUKARI · #14 30th May 2011, 03:51 PM

it's funny but I don't know this band at all. I've just listened this song "Everyday, Katusha" and I'm sure I would buy this single if I had a chance to! I don't know why, but they sing so cheerful and in unison, it makes me want to buy it. and I like these nice covers with girls in swimsuits

and also Katusha.) why Katusha??? in Russia it's a girl name and also a title of a super-popular song.

freedreamer · #15 30th May 2011, 03:54 PM

WOW..they are really powerful.
I'm not their fan but now I feel even more happy that they selected Singapore to have their mini fan concerts every...few weeks?

Yup. Every 2 weeks!!! Not just AKB, but other groups too, SKE, SDN.
I went to yesterday show, really happy that after the concert, there's a handshake event too, so yay! We can talk and see them really close!

there's an official shop selling their goodies and the AKB48 cafe will be open soon in Singapore too(japan don't even have this!)

I'm a happy akb48 Singaporean fan! Haha.

bondingo · #17 30th May 2011, 07:55 PM
