Congratulations to Arashi for a 480k release! First time since last year's 'GUTS' reached that (though that sold 500k; hopefully someday we might have another Arashi release reaching 500k in the first week!).

EDIT 1:10 PM PDT (UTC -7): Oricon 'flash' article on Arashi's #1 sales: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2052992/full/

Seems like 480,000 is an understatement. ARASHI SOLD 501,000! (O_O)


Turns out after the adjustment they just tacked on another 20,000. I'm quite surprised it could reach 500,000 once again!

This is compared to Sakura, which 'only' sold 465,000. Maybe I might have miscalculated? Hmm...

Also want to note out: Of the 46 singles that Arashi has released, this was their 42nd #1 single, and this was their 35th consecutive #1 single, including this single, a streak that has been unbroken for over ELEVEN YEARS since 2004 (PIKA★★NCHI DOUBLE, 2/18). Eleven years - that's quite a long time!

Apologies for the double-posting (and more) since it seems Karen isn't contributing to the sales track...! (o_o) Too busy with BREAKERZ? (EDIT: BREAKERZ is releasing a single this week, on the same week of AKB48, not Arashi...)
