Girls' idol group AKB48 has developed with repeated lineup changes, just like various other Jpop groups, since it began in 2005. In recent years, they are expanding the range of activities globally through concert tours and live performances at various festivals, and has attracted enthusiastic fans at home and abroad. Last year, their single "RIVER" finally topped the ORICON weekly single chart.
On April 7th, their much-awaited greatest hits album will be released in two years! The album features the songs "Ogoe Diamond," "Namida Surprise!," "Iiwake Maybe," "River," and more hit songs! Also features two new songs. Includes a bonus DVD featuring music video making-of and behind-the-scene. First press comes with a photo randomly selected from 12 kinds

just bought it :twothumbs can't wait to get it :bow:
-
I'd be a little disappointed if it's just going to be a singles compilation. You're pretty much paying for the DVD, then.
-
Includes a bonus DVD with making-of footage of previous music videos and more.
This makes it even worthed to buy. :heart:
Wanna to see making of PV like River, Iiwake Maybe, Kimi no Koto ga suki dakara, tobenai agehachou. :heart:
If only a single compilation, I don't buy it. :lol:
-
Making of dvd and 2 new songs, sounds like a good deal to me
Especially since I didn't get iiwake maybe(and I got namida surprise free)
-
Considering I only have River on it's way, this might be a great buy for me lol
Next thing to save up for ^^ (DVD makes it sound great to :P)
-
I'm still on the fence. The making of PV's DVD sounds neat, but I've bought all the singles I like except for a couple that I need to stock up on from year before last. Hmmm... Maybe I'll pick it up down the road.

I'd assume that you can choose individual cover versions based on the member you want. Yuko looks so cool...

I'm liking Kimi to niji to taiyou to.

-

-
I'm liking Kimi to niji to taiyou to.
Yeah,me,too.
I'm still thinking if I should buy this album. I already had all the songs in this album except those new songs.
Do Bonus vid contents contain only Ami, Sasshi, and Wasamin solo?
-
Yes, only those 3 solo. But there's also multi-angle views. I encoded the DVD here (http://forum.jphip.com/index.php?topic=24614.0).
-
Got my copy today! Also my first AKB music CD. I'm very satisfied with this release.
Was hoping for a Takamina photo but a Mayuyu is fine too! Now I need to find a frame for it.

Charts: AKB48, NYC
AKB48 achieved their first #1 album this week, with "Kamikyokutachi" selling nearly 295,000 copies. That sets this year's record for first-week album sales by a female artist. It is also the first album by a female group to break the 250,000 mark since Morning Musume's "4th Ikimasshoi!" in 2002. Rock band Soutaiseiriron was #3 with their newest album. Ryu Si-won entered at #5 while BREAKERZ were at #9. In the single rankings, NYC's version of "Yuuki 100%" topped the charts with 92,000 in sales. Enka singer Kaori Mizumori opened at the #2 spot. Also in the top ten were Ai Otsuka (#6) and Ai Kawashima (#10).

from Tokyohive:
AKB48’s best album, “Kamikyokutachi”, has given the girls their first album that has sold over half a million units!
As of this week, “Kamikyokutachi” has sold approximately 501,000 copies since its release on April 7th of 2010. Although the idol group has already sold over a million copies of their singles “Beginner” and “Sakura no Ki ni Narou”, this marks the first time that any of their albums have sold over 500,000 since their debut six years ago.
“Kamikyokutachi” is also the first album by a female group to surpass half a million since Destiny’s Child sold 592,000 copies of their best album, “Number Ones”, over five years ago, and the first time a Japanese girl group has done so since Morning Musume’s album, “4th Ikimasshoi!” (515,000), went on sale almost nine years ago.
a wonderful achievement!! congrats AKB48!! :D
