A new record

[SomethingWild]

Looks like Ikoma Rina will be spending several hours with her insane fan.   

Assuming one CD is good for a 10 second handshake, this should get him well over 4 hours. 

Very roughly speaking, this has a price tag of close to 11,000 Euro / $14,550.

Day 2, down to 2nd place but still a record no doubt helped by the above fan!

Day 2, down to 2nd place but still a record no doubt helped by the above fan!

Handshake sales come in Day 1 sales figures. What record did they win?

[YKT]

^if you note the following comparison, the first day sales was a record high for Nogizaka46 



And per the following ''best first week sales for the group since their debut'' which is a record for them.

Nogizaka46's latest single sells 395,000 copies in the first week


Idol group Nogizaka46's 7th single "Barrette" (released on November 27) grabbed the number one spot on Oricon's latest weekly chart.

"Barrette" centered Kenkyuusei member Hori Miona who joined the group back in May, and it sold 395,000 copies during the first week which is the best first week sales for the group since their debut.

Also, this is the 6th consecutive chart-topping single since their 2nd single "Oide Shampoo."

Weekly soundscan numbers are in:



Total of 83173

Comparison to last single:

Discothèque posted Soundscan stats

Soundscan numbers
 
Comparison with other sister groups

NMB 8th = 82,400
HKT 2nd = 92,304
Nogi 6th = 93,738
NMB 7th = 125,459
SKE 12th = 166, 721

So Nogizaka's soundscans sales have actually DROPPED since last single, despite having record first day and first week sales as YKT posted above.

Oricon's high sales must be all due to that guy Barrie posted
