Also, there have been some really huge selling photobooks before, so I'm thinking that this was probably the first of this type of book to make it this high onto the general book ranking chart or possibly highest debut - though that doesn't seem to make sense because I can't imagine Urayuu or the Dome Tour book having lower debuts given that those were released during her golden era. This week it actually fell off the charts completely.

Yeah... I remember back then I read on some magazines that some female artists posted nude in photobooks (in Japan), and among that the highest selling one was like 1 million copies overall. So if deji deji nikki is categorized as a photobook, I dun think it's THAT high at all.

Like you say, I think Urayuu (not sure about DT book) would have a higher sales on the debut week back in 2002. So I dunno what record she's breaking this time..

Of course we are surprised.
The book was limited to 40,000 and it sold 33,000!
Don't you think it's amazing?
And it's definitely not a surprise it dropped from the charts since it's limited.
Though because of its success they are going to make another 55,000 copies press.
It says it all on Oricon.

Oh cool! If the price drops with it, I might get another... But I'm thinking of getting the Taiwanese press actually...
