It sucks when they are bumped off the top 3 by some random unknown singer. They don't provide sales numbers outside of top 3

3 day sales are so high though that I’m not worried. They’ve already sold more than many of their previous 1st week sales already so anything else is a bonus

It is their best selling Billboard Japan single sales (reported) in the Morning Musume Fukumura Mizuki Era.

The previous highest selling single in the Mizuki Era was "Jama Shinai de Here We Go! / Dokyuu no Go Sign / Wakaindashi!" which had a 4 week reported overall total (189,322). It continued to have additional sales for a few more weeks after but Billboard Japan just doesn't like to provide weekly sales numbers past the top 50, so we don't know the absolute total past 189,322.

1st week comparisons
166,082 Sexy Cat no Enzetsu
158,313 BRAND NEW MORNING
178,024 Jama Shinai de Here We Go!
156,458 Are you Happy?
