it was followed by 'Ｓｅｘｙ．Ｈｏｎｅｙ．Ｂｕｎｎｙ！／タカラノイシ' by V6 (28,943 copies), and 'ＶｉＶｉ夏' by ぱすぽ☆ (14,412 copies).
The previous single 'Everyday. Kachuusha' sold a total of 942,475 copies for the first day, which is really amazing already but understandable as many fans bought multiple copies just for the voting tickets for the 22nd Single Senbatsu Elections (some even in thousands. No kidding!). A voting ticket was included in each of the first press editions of AKB48's 21st single and each person is able to vote more than once. Thus the more voting tickets one have, the more votes he/she can cast.
The AKB48's 22nd single however isn't for Senbatsu elections or anything similar, thus I actually thought that the first day sales would be lower than that of the 21st single. The most probable reason for this amount of sales for just the first day might just be that the amount of fans and people listening to AKB48 have really increased by a lot! Now that's some great news =D
Not only did their 22nd did a really amazing feat, the DVD box set for their midnight drama, マジスカ学園2 (Majisuka Gakuen 2), sold an impressive amount of 10,000 copies in the first week of sales, securing the 2nd position in the Oricon's weekly DVD ranking. The first season, マジスカ学園 (Majisuka Gakuen), sold only 3,000 copies in the first week, ranking at 32nd in overall.
I have watched the first season some time ago and followed the second season while it was airing on TV Tokyo. Found both of the seasons really awesome, not because the cast is AKB48 (along with members from SKE48 and SDN48), but because in general the storyline, action scenes, etc are really good. Wanted to get the 2nd seasons DVD box set but didn't have the money yet >_< It would be costing me near SGD400 with all the shipping and handing included. Would try to get it one day!
