I thought AKB sold more than this? hmm but well~~ glad to see Yui is selling well :)

They did. I think it's because Soundscan didn't count the theater versions of their single since it is only available in the Akb shop or something.

yeah the theater edition can be pre-ordered at AKB's chara-ani shop only and shipped out on the first day and sometimes, the excess within the first week...

Theatre version sells the most and its not counted on sound scan, it is odd to see the major difference in sales,

What exactly are the theatre versions?

[umbrellaphone]

Generally, they're "special" versions that you only can get through the shop chara-ani. They got the usual limited edition bonuses such as diff covers, diff setlist, other bonuses, and most of all, a handshake event ticket. The latter is in the limited non-theatre versions too, but theatre versions are cheaper, and they can be sold in bulk.

they're called theatre versions because they used to be sold exclusively at the akb theatre, but obviously after akb's popularity thats not the case anymore, they're sold online idk where because i never bought any, but they usually sell the most because they have tickets to hand shake events + bonuses, but no DVD.

oh i see someone else already explained , my bad

the theater edition isn't counted at Soundscan...
