Now, this might be a really stupid question, but will the "1st week of sales" be from when it was released to Sunday? Or will it be the entire first 7 days??
I could see them maybe getting 1 million in 7 days but maybe around 900k by the end of this week!

It's done wednesday to wednesday in japan, some singles release early on tuesday but those sales are just added to wednesday ones

Does anyone know which episode date of Music Station this newer "Beginner" clip was taken from?

The previous one listed is the Tomomi version in which she was the lead.

I barely recognized Miichan with her glasses.

Thanks!

Go, Go AKB48

Break that 1 million sales mark!
Sales are slowing but still steady.
Looks like it's possible to do so in the first month of release!

Just got my First Press Ltd Ed. A+B versions from HMV JP.
Are the First Press editions the only ones that contain a "random" photo?
I got 2 of the same Acchan photos!!
It was in a small plastic slip with a photo and not part of the sealed CD/DVD.

Couldn't the person who handled the order just look at the picture to make sure a duplicate was Not included?
Was hoping one of the photos could have been for Yuko or Mariko!

Is a photo also given to the CD/DVD version or theatre version CD version or not?

Thanks!

^ I think you would also recieve a photo with the CD/DVD as I did when I bought Heavy Rotation- I'm not sure about the Theater version though, as I've only come across it on ebay before....
Yeah, it's a shame about getting a duplicate but I think online stores must only get one type, or work through say, a box of the same photo, before opening a new one-- they're very busy with many orders, so I don't think they have the time to think of the fans and their collections! D: However, I'm sure many members here will buy the CD's and get some duplicates!! You could make a post in this thread showing the photo you're willing to trade and say what members you like-- people will make offers- and lucky you, because Acchan will probably be wanted by alot of people!!

I traded a photo with Masa a while ago and it all went smoothly! ; u ;
Also, if you don't feel comfortable sending and recieving from someone you don't really know too well you could always sell the duplicate!

MrMojo · « **Reply #273 on:** October 31, 2010, 01:54:48 AM »

Didn't know that.

The "Acchan" photo doesn't look like the "Beginner" version (will upload soon) but still looks nice.

What about other stores like YesAsia or PlayAsia? They have the CD/DVD versions (but not the Ltd Edition sets) remaining.

Thanks!

Meania · « **Reply #274 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:15:30 AM »

^ It's probably one from MINT?

Or could it be one of these two?

Sorry, also when I recomended you posted it in a thead I meant:
The AKB48 Marketplace
(thought you might of not noticed my link!

)

MrMojo · « **Reply #275 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:57:37 AM »

The picture appears to be a "HMV" special photo.

[Finally figured out that I can not upload the picture directly but have to go through an online image service]

Here's Acchan

eehreum · « **Reply #276 on:** October 31, 2010, 02:02:40 AM »

This has been bothering me for awhile but i'm pretty sure there's a song really similar to this. you know around 2:00 when the chorus ends and they start saying chchchchh in the background. i think the other song they say change change more pronounced...
maybe like an old boa song. something early 2000. who is the composer of this album?

@MrMojo
Yeah. Your Acchan (MINT) pic was the pre-order photo for HMV.
Just search "Beginner 特典" in an auction site like yahoo.co.jp and you'll probably get a good listing of all the different photos from each shop.

@eehreum
For Beginner. Music/Arrangement: Yoshimasa Inoue Lyrics/Producer: Aki-P (or

)
Seifuku ga jama wo suru, Oogoe Daimond, 10 Nen Sakura, Namida Surprise!, RIVER, Beginner... Yup, this is the only other guy that can honestly say he's been all over AKB.

Like the others stated, each store gets one type of bonus pic:

some bonus photos from this single.

Playasia and Yesasia generally do not have the bonus goods because they are not Japanese companies.

The picture given with the Theater version cd is generally the most sought after. They can easily sell for 20usd for the more popular members. You can find these on eBay too, this seller usually has some up.

Meania · « **Reply #279 on:** October 31, 2010, 10:27:27 AM »

^ But I got one from Yesasia when I ordered Heavy Rotation-- I'm not sure if it was one of the photos from a Japanese company or whether it was new alltogether...

Ahhh, so those photos come from the theater version- I've always wondered about them, I thought they were just on sale at the theater!!
Does anyone know where to buy the theater version new (as in, with a photo- not sold on ebay without it D: ) I'm guessing it's CDjapan or a japanese site??
