I wonder if sales will even reach 1.1 million 

It just might!  Oricon usually gives the round up numbers on Monday/Tuesday (depends on time zone).

Pride comes before a fall.

I don't see how anybody can complain about "only" selling more than one million copies in one week. Seriously.

I remember when we were ecstatic when 10Nen Zakura broke 100K after a couple of weeks!

[Amplifier]

This means AKB48 is #2 in the "most million sellers in a row", doesn't it? I forget if B'z or Mr. Children are #1.

GOOD FUCKIN HUSTLE, GIRLS

Yeah, It's just the worst 1st week sale since NMB48 were included in theatre version HS tickets sales(they did since Ebikatsu), and this single had tons of promotion, national HS event ticket and request hour voting ticket.

But as long as they had 200girls to sell CD with individual handshake ticket which guarantee at least 700k CD sales 1st day, a million sale is pretty easy and we had nothing to worry about..

Keep in mind that besides Acchan being gone, this single lost the handshakes for Sae, Akicha, Harugon and Mariyannu. Plus all 2034554969604 girls that have graduated in the past month.

AKB48 becomes first female group with 20 million CDs sold, 10 million-sellers

Nov 05,2012 - by tokyograph



Last week, AKB48 released their 28th single “UZA,” and Oricon announced today that it sold roughly 1,129,000 copies in its first week. This gives AKB48 their 15th consecutive #1 single, but more importantly, it also marks their 10th million-selling single (9th consecutive). They are the first female artist to achieve 10 million-selling singles, and the first artist to do so in almost 14 years.

AKB48 is only the third artist to achieve 10-million sellers, after B'z (currently with 15) and Mr.Children (currently with 10). In terms of consecutive million-sellers, they were already in second place before this, behind B’z (13) and ahead of Mr.Children (.

Since their major-label debut in February 2006, AKB48 has released 29 singles (1 digital-only) and 11 albums. In total, the group has now sold approximately 17,597,000 CD singles and 2,703,000 CD albums, for a grand total of 20,300,000 CDs. Among female groups, they have now pulled past SPEED (19,546,000 CDs) to become the #1 all-time top seller.

Hi guys, first post here.

Been a fan of AKB48 for a while and have been lurking here for sometime. Now i've finally decided to join.

I love and adore UZA. Just out of interest who does the scorpion dive? Takamina, Yuko, Yamamoto and who else?

[boykun]

It's someone from the right. I wanna say either Yui or Tomo.

So while the song has grown on me a lot, it still gets a little noisy for my tastes. (well, after I've spent a lot of time with that one noisy DDR synth) The video, however, is endlessly amazing. So I swapped it out first with Backstreet's Back (come on, it's Joseph Khan) and then SNSD's latest, Flower Power.

I think both turned out pretty sweet. Using a tumblr upload to avoid copyright banhammers. (You can't find anything on Tumblr if you don't already have the link or know the account.  )

Hope y'all enjoy. I had fun making them.
