Oops, looks like I spoke too soon. Shortcake's sales dropped quite a bit on the last day of the week. Nevertheless, it still manages to beat AKB48's Namida Surprise first week sales!
Day 7 sales: 2,499Current total: 104,683
First week sales targets:French Kiss – Romance Privacy - 85,011
Itano Tomomi - Fui Ni - 90,103
Watanabe Mayu – Hikarumonotachi - 91,907
No Sleeves - Kuchibiru - 100,039
AKB48 - Namida Surprise - 104,180French Kiss - Kakkowarui - 112,546
It's been confirmed by Oricon that KAT-TUN's EXPOSE topped the weekly single ranking. The rest of the ranking is not out yet but Yukirin's Shortcake should be getting a No.2. She had a very good first week run, even breaking the record for AKB solo debuts' Day 2 sales.
Fantastic job Yukirin!
I'm definitely looking forward to your next solo release!
