yeah, and base on typical AKB sub group and solo does nowadays, 100,000 units give or take in first 2 weeks would be a safe guess. At current state of singles sales, 70,000+ well be enough to take the top spot on Oricon Chart as long as there isn't a major release from the main 48 groups or top artists like Exile, Mr. Children, SMAP, Kinki Kids, Arashi, etc.

This sub unit similar to Warota7, the other sub unit Mayuyu is center, so I'm guessing around 80k which is Warota7 usually sales I think? I'm not a fan so not sure. Since SKE's Yagami Kumi is popular too, maybe around 90k Mayuyu is receiving a huge boost, I can't see it not selling well. The only problem is if fans have the money for it.... August is a pretty expensive month for 48 fans. Well I heard Japanese fans and foreign fans say the song is good so it won't do too bad. They hate the uniforms tho :P

EDIT: Did I ever post Chieri's original chara design here? It's surprising how much it changed in the final stage.

The catch here is that this single is hyped and promoted like a regular single, being an anime theme song was more a a by-product. This has also starting to be a trend for many single. For example, OP/ED songs for mainstream anime like OP, Gundam, rarely got treated as just "anime songs" Besides, it's not like AKB hasn't done anime songs before, one of their best selling sub group song was from the one-time group, Team Dragon's, single acted as the ED and the main theme for Dragon Ball Kai. Here are some of past sales number of AKB's ACG related songs: [Highest Oricon Rank/Total Sales before dropped off Chart] 2009: No3b: Tane, ED for Birdy the Mighty Decode: 02 [#9/16,801] 2010: Queen & Elizabeth: Love War, insert song for Kamen Rider W [#4/31,888] Team Dragon: Kokoro no Hane, ED theme for DB Kai [#1/146,160] 2011: No3b: Answer, 1st ED for Beelzebub [#2/108,831] French Kiss: Kakkowarui I Love You, 1st OP for Sket Dance [#2/143,612] 2012: Diva: Lost the Way, theme for Ultraman Saga [#3, 77,417] Now, Tane was during 2009 when when AKB was just getting its break so the fact it still made top 10 was impressive, considering that the song had little mainstream promotion. But even then that is a pretty good figure for an anime related song.

Interestingly the draft version Chieri looked like a ringer for 15-year-old Jurina Matsui, SKE48's helicopter gunship (I call her as such because she's hot, athletic and well-armed to the teeth like an Apache gunship that she's that team's public face of excellence more than the rest of her fellows).

Sure, it "could" be anything, but I'll choose to believe that Thomas Romain knows what he's talking about, considering he's actually working on the show, rather than making wild unsubstantiated guesses. :P
Edit: Btw, the teaser is on the official site now: http://akb0048.jp The next season will focus on the next AKB0048 General Election. |
