Wonderful!

I love both the songs in the series and will look forward to hearing the new one.

Extremely cunning marketing here with the PVs, and for the first time, I AM actually considering buying both versions of a release :-/

Oh yes! This will make my birthday all the sweeter! :muffin:

Getting both versions for sure! The OP and ED songs are too awesome to give this single a miss. I hope the anime PV won't just feature the KKS. I want to see anime Mayuyu in action too!

The first press bonus for Type B seems interesting. A 3D character card that allows you to launch an app to see special AKB0048 content for a limited period of time, similar to the guerrilla video message we saw in the anime's episode 1? Not sure if I'm understanding it correctly though since I put the text through Google Translate.

^ Love Type B's gorgeous cover illustration! :thumbup Chieri for Center Nova! :P

Wish the seiyuu girls didn't wear the cosplay costumes for Type A's cover though. Some of the costumes aren't very flattering (look like fancy maternity wear :doh:).

Can't wait for this. The last anime theme song they released ("Aisareru to iu koto") was awesome. This one has been just as good, if not better.

Am I the only one that's pissed that Mayuyu is being pushed so much in this group?
Don't get me wrong, I love Mayuyu. She's right up there with Mariko and Takamina for me.
But she's just being pushed to much with this unit I think...
I thought AKB0048 was a chance for any of the members, not just the main ones we see all the time to get a chance to shine.
But anyway, I love this anime and the songs on this single so it's already pre-ordered. XD

I dont wanna be offtopic.

It would be foolish to pretend that they didnt push. The recent past events that have no wonder.
And also we have to consider that the election, she had the second place.
Mayuyu looks good, have a good voice, and aura, so almost perfectly embodies the Idol.
She is one of the leading figures of the AKB new generations.
All these things considered I think they rightly pushed forward.
(Thats my opinion)

Singles:

01 149.00 SMAP - Moment
02 89.90 NO NAME - Kibou ni Tsuite
03 76.50 RADWIMPS - Sprechchor
04 75.50 CNBLUE - Come on
05 73.40 Mizuki Nana - BRIGHT STREAM
06 29.40 Daikoku-Danji - Honki Magic
07 23.60 Sonar Pocket - Kimi to Miru Mirai。
08 23.50 Ashida Mana - Ame ni Negai wo
09 21.50 Sata Andagi - YELL ~Kagayaku Tame no Mono~ / Rafurafu Taisou
10 19.80 Nakajima Megumi - Marble / Wasurenai yo。

Note 1:

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

Note 2:

According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)

Confirmation:

(http://uppix.com/f-Naamloos50190447001084f7.jpg)

I said in the chat Mizuki Nana would hurt No Name's sales. In some of those shops I saw Nana was treated as a goddess.
A lot of die-hard anime fans are more likely to buy her single than the AKB48 related one. No Name will probably beat Nana at the end of the week, but I think these sales are lower than what they were expecting. Looking at these sales and the Ninki ratings, the battles for places 2-5 are going to be quite close!

I think there are some reasons why the single sales seems low,

1. No events (akushukai/handshake) -> no reason to buy more than 1 copy
2. No TV performances -> less promotion
3. (let's be honest here) For non 48 fans, other than mayuyu, there are no other famous members
4. The 48 fans maybe only bought the cover with the member's photos, and the anime fans bought the anime character cover
5. The famous seiyuus are not in the single

Nevertheless, I think the single did good seeing that it has no events and (almost) no promotion  :twothumbs

The sales are great, as long as you don't compare them to other 48 groups in the process.

At least when this article (http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/special/2012/musicrank0620/index01.html) was posted, this single would be pushing the Top 50 for this year. I'd be surprised if it's not in the Top 100 at the end of the year.

But anyway, I wish it had even better sales, because it's a pretty boss song.

AKB0048's Opening Song Sells 47,000 to Rank #3
posted on 2012-08-06 23:57 EDT
Single sold with ending songs; 1 of 2 CD variants includes original anime music video

"Kibō ni Tsuite," the opening theme song to the AKB0048 anime, sold about 47,000 copies to debut at #3 on Oricon's singles ranking chart for the July 30-August 5 week. "No Name," the unit composed of AKB48, SKE48, and NMB48 idols who won the chance to voice-act in AKB0048, released the "Kibō ni Tsuite" maxi-single on August 1.

Besides the title track, the single also contains the AKB0048 ending theme songs "Yume wa Nando Demo Umarekawaru" and "Niji no Ressha," as well as instrumental versions of all three songs. "Type A" of the maxi-single's limited first pressing features a DVD with a music video starring the members of No Name, while "Type B" (pictured right) features a DVD with an original animated music video.
