[7/30] Juice=Juice 4th single - Black Butterfly / Kaze ni Fukarete

^Read the other posts - someones said it could be likely stocking issues, and that something like this has happened in the past, and they sold more afterward. c:

Big drop for SKE, is the song bad?

From what I've seen on the AKB-side of the web, it's something about "theater editions" (apparently the ones with the handshake tickets) only shipping starting today.
So they weren't counted.

Although it is their lowest first day since 2011.

On a related note: is this the first big XXX48 release since the slasher incident ?

This is the second time in a row when they released the same day as SKE48. I never realized that until just now. But anyways, great sales! I kind of lost interest in this single, but I'm really happy for J=J.

As for beating MomoClo, I'm really proud of them for that. But I remember when GOUNN came out and C-ute beat them on the first day, but then after that, MomoClo started dominating that single. I hope Ju=Ju can beat them this week. That single was weak, anyways.

I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about J=J's sales yet, but this is great. I'm happy when H!P groups increase their sales, it's always refreshing.

Also, SKE's new single is a ballad. Along with the shipment issues, it could be a factor against them. I'm not too fond of it myself.

Prediction is that Juice will end up with weekly #3 and I'll be happy for them just because they are improving themselves a little at a time. Yay

No. Nogizaka46 released a single early this month.

Been listening to the single all day. I think musically it's better than the last one. It's a lot less commercial than the usual, but nothing weak here, it's a really solid single. <3
