[RELEASE] AKB48 - Sayonara Crawl (2013.05.22)

[esm]

The song is kind of boring, but I'd need to listen to a high-quality version to hear the background music more clearly. Sometimes that makes a difference.

The covers are pretty (minus the ugly text), and I kind of appreciate how it's not a bikini single lol.

[Pavlova]

..it totally IS a bikini single though?

Oh, I haven't seen the PV when I said that... lol, but I do like the flowery bikinis and they look more cute than just for showing their bodies.

[Zunu]

Something about this song reminds me of ABBA.

[boinsie]

Those bikinis.

[DSQueenie]

I like the Bikini's in theory but in practice the flowers make them quite bulky and not in the cute way.

I'm seeing 1st day sales report of 1 450 000 and of 1 700 000. Oricon says 1 450 000 so I will believe that.

Either way, I do believe this is their highest 1st day sales ever so they are not, indeed, declining as we felt they were with the declining sales of the past few singles.

I guess the question is, will they eventually reach 2 million copies with this? is this possible?
