Wow this group is quite successful. I guess the hype really did help. Maybe now more people will realize the greatness that is H!P.

What the fuck? Only 26k copies?!  :(
Even Aya's latest single sold more than that. Apparently DEF. DIVA is the lowest selling #1 ever.

Man, I wonder why H!P super groups never sell that well.

Sales > chart position

Well, had DEF DIVA not released at all, there'd still have been a new "lowest #1 seller", eh o_o Unless I've misunderstood the way they pick #1, lol.


Hmm I was hoping more people would buy the single because this time there's no single v to spend money on, but oh well. That rules out the excuse that singles are selling badly because fans buy dvds instead :P The actual reason is... That they just don't buy.

But I didn't buy this single either. Maybe if there'd been a poster with it and better outfits. But those golden things? Nuh-uh...

Hello! Project's first number one in 2 years is a 26K seller? That's got to be the definition of anticlimatic....

That is dissappointing, I wonder what went wrong.  Song is good, has some of the more popular members of H!P...hrm maybe it wasn't promoted enough? (only performed on H!M and Music Fighter on the first week)

Surely with just the combined fans of Ayaya and Nacchi should of gotten it a better first week sales.  Lets hope the 2nd week doesn't drop off too quickly since they would have of performed on Hey!x3, Pop Jam and Utaban.

I predicted they'd get at least between 30,000-40,000 copies sold. but 26,000 is certainly dissapointing... however, I'm glad they managed to rank #1 on the charts which is a pretty damn great achievement!

I still think it's a helluva achievement.  I mean, it's not like the #2-10 spots were filled by one-hit wonders and Matsuken Sambas IV.

Number-one single: they'll always have that.

Again, I believe this gives UFA the leverage it needs to push DEF.DIVA for inclusion in this year's NHK Kohaku, barring of course another last-minute scandal.

OMG!!  :w00t: It's this pic again...ROFL...The "mic" !!  :lol:

About the sales, 26K is certainly disappointing, but I am not too surprised. Whether or not it is the lowest no.1, It is still no.1 , I am happy for the girls.

The problem really boils down that most Japanese fans would rather not buy the single but to spend the money on goods. UFW is putting out so much stuff that it is getting ridiculous. Hence forth, most fans decided to spend the money on the never ending barrage of goods and also to attend concerts, so the CD sales suffered. The H!P fan base is not getting any bigger anyway, and it is difficult to substain everything. That's the trade off. At least the concerts kept coming, that is still a good sign.

PS. In japan, you can also rent the cd... or get them cheaper in 2nd hand stores later. At least some of the Japanese fans I know tend to pick up 2nd hand CDs later on.

That can't be coincidence. Maki's mic just noticed Rika's presence. :D

Ah yes, the reason why I avoid ee jump videos - yuki looks too much like a transgender maki and it gets all confusing.
