Lower sales than usual for SKE48 and Momoiro Clover Z as well.
Sure, they're nothing to scoff at but compared to their last few releases: they're substantial drops.
SKE48 in particular dropped by more than 50.000.

And again: so many idols released this week, it's enough to make you dizzy (or giddy).

I think Starra said it already. TIF probably had a lot to do with this overal for all the groups since everyone sold really low.

[Starra]

If it was just J=J selling less I'd be worried, but since everyone's sales are lower, eh. It's just one of those weeks.

Hey Oricon maybe you should include foreign sales again so that this stops happening.

I bought my own copy, and got a Tomoko photo too. I'm stoked. That's twice now I've gotten Tomoko.

woww they did better than I thought they would!

the general decline might be because of the tax?
seems weird.

Hmmm, the daily chartings didn't throw a very good light on the sales, but overall this is pretty good, the drop isn't even that huge. Nothing to worry about =)

Yeah, their first week sales have been around 37-39k, so they're fine. We're just spoiled by the gradual increase in sales H!P has experienced a while back.

[Amped]

meh. they got the same boring result and never improved. They won't get anywhere like most idol groups if they stay content with "just fine".

[Starra]

Yeah, because most idol groups sell 35k+ in one week .

They're doing better than most other idol groups and they're doing really well for a new one. There's absolutely nothing to complain about.
