I was aiming for 70K, and it's already above my expectation since yesterday lol

If this were still pre-2006, they'd be churning out a couple million sellers a year or at least would come close. I'm sure that One Love and Truth both would have made the million mark.

Hmmn.. Real face... I dunno if it's a good example or not. That was KAT-TUN's debut single, with 6 different covers (limited edition) + 1 regular cover. If I was a fan I would definitely buy 2+ covers for sure (1 regular, and 1 or more for my favorite group member(s)).
My thought really is... Suppose Arashi has had 400K hardcore fans since the beginning.. and you know fangirls usually have the strongest loyalty (especially to young, handsome boybands). Let's say over the years 100K fans were gone and 300K fans remain loyal, and 70% of them usually buy all the versions whenever a single is out. So if they have two versions as a standard, then they can get at least 500 - 600K cds sold per single.. And I don't mean other artists' fans (such as ayu fans, B'z fans, kuu fans, etc.) not being loyal... It's just they may think it's cheapest (and wiser) to purchase digital formats... Of course this is not 100% true (and even logical).. But I kinda believe this is one of the possibilities..
