I think 470k is really good, in reality I was expecting less...

^LOL Maybe this is a sign you should start ordering your singles through an Oricon counting online retailer? Just saying... jk

417K? I was honestly expecting something in the 200K-300K range. (feels like such a pessimist xD ) So it looks like they have another 500K~600K single, if the drops happen at their usual pace it should beat Hebirote's 1st week sales. Good job Janken senbatsu.

@Bigtop: orly? I thought it was pretty cool myself and she looks badass. I was expecting like last time to get a photo of a undergirl I didn't even know so I'm quite happy to get Sae.

Uhh...WHAT THE~!?

(I'm referring to NOT AKB48 but now AKB56...how will they change some trade names starting in 2011?)

Man, I think we might want to make a bit more room - because the 48-person concept for AKB48 is already broken...

@Bigtop: lol Don't freak, the AKB56 thing is just a joke. They won't actually change their name, that'd be marketing suicide. XD Besides they didn't always have 48 members, from what I can gather the line-up has only recently been stable since the team shuffle.

I wonder what they'll actually do with these girls though, are they really going to put on them on the established teams after they went through the trouble this year of 'evening' them up? Are they just going to be *official* substitutes for the main girls?

Or is Aki-P finally going to make a Team 48?

Cool beans. If the drops go as usual, we're definitely looking at 600K by the end of the week.

The next single will have Handshake tickets, first press limited editions 'Beginner style', and the regular top girls back in place. As long as the song and PV doesn't totally blow chunks, I think it'll do just as well if not better.

Plus since it's in February, there's a 50/50 chance it'll either be a graduation song or a generic first date type song and Japan eats those ***** right up.

The big question is: will it match Beginner's sales with the same marketing tactics (minus the awesome song and video)?
