[koregaboku]

Holy. Damn.

[Amped]

C-ute 1st day on Oricon @ #3 with sold 40,059 (pre-release day sales)

*1　104,874　EXILE TRIBE
*2　*58,770　進撃
*3　*40,059　℃-ute

[JonCC]

If those numbers are accurate, they beat AKB's Watanabe Mayu, who's at #4 (first day at least).
Hell yeah...

Super Happy for C-ute. But, Ouch Mayu fans, what happened? xD

[Starra]

Mayu's not as popular anymore, I guess? I mean, most of her fans probably spent their money voting for her in the election last month so I'm sure some of them don't have anything left over to buy this single.

[Mizu_D3]

i am afraid that tomorrow Mayu's single will pass C-ute...
hope C-ute will be at best 3 at 1st week

Didn't expect to be quoting myself but for comparison's sake:

#3 with 32,851!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They already outsold Kono Machi, haven't they?
Lolololol

They sold 8000(ish) copies more than they did their first day with Crazy Kanzen.
Also for reference sake, it took Crazy Kanzen three days to sell 40k (more precisely, 39,998 copies). Crazy Kanzen's first week was 47,420.

I think we can almost be guaranteed 50k first week. Also, from my experience EXILE/EXILE-related releases tend to drop like a rock after the first day, or at least heavily fluctuates so C-ute might be able to get a daily #1 at the tail end of the week depending on how Linked Horizons do. I however, know nothing about Linked Horizons. But from what I could gather they only sold 20k first week with their last single (albeit it was released a year ago) and they've already blown way past that so they must be on an upward trajectory, just like C-ute.

I'm really proud of the girls. This is amazing. Honestly, I don't see C-ute's momentum stopping anytime soon. Honestly, I want UF* to pull some Avex-like maneuvering and choose a release week specifically to guarantee a weekly #1 at this point.
The girls deserve it.


And random note:
Amuro's new album FEEL's first day is at 111,458. #2? 6,932. Amuro sold 16x more than her closest competitor. Ouch

[otaku_blue]

Im so happy ;_;

Go C-ute and Namie!!


//AKB Soloists are declining in general. Even Tomochin's epic single sucked on Oricon.

[koregaboku]

And more importantly for H!P as a whole but when was the last time a non-MM. group sold more than 50k?

I've only been an MM/H!P fan for the past four years so I know none of the current groups have done it. And like someone said in the Crazy Kanzen thread, if C-ute is starting to consistently outsell Platinum Musume that speaks really huge volumes for C-ute and H!P as a whole. H!P's really just done a stellar job lately behind the scenes (at least with regards to C-ute).

[Zunu]

C-ute....I'm ecstatic but not surprised. Look at the history. There was no way they were not gonna crush Berryz' recent numbers. And f'in Namie is a walking legend.
