88,358
(x 1.75) = 154,627

No point in comparing it to previous singles, as it is obviously higher. =P

Last time, YnU second day sales were 62% of first day sales. I wonder if numbers would drop faster because the first numbers get volume from FPs, which may be unavailable later.

To be safe (multiplier = 1.75 still) they need an index of ~70 tomorrow

hm. They sold 42k more than weeeek on the first day. Boost given to them by FP. Seems like a very small boost. And I expected KtP's LE+RE to sell more than week's LE+RE. Did it? >.>
yeah but even given the boost, many people only bought 1 copy of the cd (well, most SANE people who arent obsessive KATTUN fangirls like some of us :D) ~ and with first press, they would've gotten that over the other editions -- which really doesnt give kattun very much of a boost really :]

whereas with NewS they had to pick one or the other :D

oh well either way..
KATTUN <33 :D dvd + single at number 1

Really. Most people? ^^;;;;;;;;;;

I guess people who're casually interested in the music would only buy the FP. And also those who aren't as hardcore about collecting. idk. Don't many Japanese fans find the compulsion to BUY EVERYTHING? That Swedish documentary made it seem so. haha. Documentary bias =_+

baha yeah i guess :/ but with the recent shower of johnnys releases, D: most people who fan more than 1 group (or more than 1 fandom. DBSKomg) cant afford to buy all 3 releases DX

Japanese fans.. i'm not too sure about.. lol, okay so in the english fandom (hardcore cough) lots of people bought more than 1 edition, but i'm not too sure about the sales in japan :/

So you think the better sales are just because of 3 instead of 2 versions like for YnU?
Would be interesting to know how many LE and FP edition there are in all, but this are certainly numbers the record company will keep secret.

I think it's also because KAT-TUN has a larger static fanbase (ie. is more popular =P). The real difference a third version made for KtF, should be 88-69 (YnU's initial sales). From what I've read from non-JE fans, both songs seem to appeal to casual listeners equally.

ahh. Now that I compare this 42k with how the other singles on Oricon are doing, it seems like a very big number. Most artists don't even sell 42k in the first week.

[naruchu]

no. I lie. It should be less than 39k. Since... general concensus seems to be that YnU was mainly bought by the fanbase (generic song by a boyband), and KtF would draw in other listeners. If KtF has good second week sales, better than weeeek, similar to BnMd's run, then it would mean that it has more appeal to casual listeners than NEWS's single, since a large chunk of their promotion is... after the first week of release.

..did you mean better sales than YnU or weeeek? lol ^^;

[ina]

Better sales than YnU. I think in general KAT-TUN has more fans than NEWS, so bigger sales. But YnU sold a lot less than all their other singles. So did they loose fans or just the casual listeners? And will KtF get them back the numbers they had before?
I think the comparison with weeeek is only there to see how they are doing against NEWS, because there in the same time of the year. In general CD sales are shrinking even in Japan, so comparisons to what singles sold some time ago is a bit difficult.
YnU's second week sales were half of BnMd's second week sales.

Most Johnny's groups have a steady sale number generated by their fans, who buy every single. Some times a special hit happens that apeapls to a bigger part of casual listeners too, but they go back to their normal numbers with the next one. So were is KAT-UN's steady sale number? YnU? Hard to say with only fifth singles, a mega debut and Jin's hiatus.

totally random but did you ever ask me to add you (or maybe it was vice versa) if not then sorry for running into your journal XDD

[naruchu]

mm. I think back in a friending meme I asked you, and then friended you but you never friended back.

It's okay =)

[manonpikamishi]

Hm I tried to add you at the time but it wouldn't let me as well and I guess I forgot to as you--

If you don't mind I'm going to add you now..?
