Considering the success of "Checkmate!" and the solidity of this single with diverse sounding songs and tie-ins to a makeup company, a j-drama (I think it's a j-drama, correct me if I'm wrong,), and an anime, I initially thought this single would have had higher sales as well. But if CDJapan is any indication of how well this single is selling, I'm not surprised that the number is a little low. They haven't even sold out of the first press editions of the CD+DVD edition of the single. The only reasonable explanation (from my perspective) that I can come up with is that maybe a lot of people didn't buy it because they think by it being a triple a-side, all the songs may be on the album. So they'd rather wait until the album comes out rather than buy this particular single. Either way, in comparison to the other artists on today's daily ranking on Oricon, these numbers seem to be quite normal (with the exception of SKE48 of course). Hopefully sales will increase throughout the week though and she can at least make it to the number two spot for the week (I would normally say number one but let's be honest, she's not going to outsell SKE48, no one will, lol).
