SMAP's 50th single "JOY!!" compared to AKB's selling method




1: 発狂くんφ ★ 2013/07/03(水) 12:50:25.94 ID:???0
SMAP's 50th single JOY!! (Victor Entertainment) was released on June 5 and sold around 300,000 units in its first week.
This is double the number from their previous single Mistake!/Battery released in February.

Joy!! is available in 5 editions (Vivid Orange, Lime Green, Sky Blue, Shocking Pink, Lemon Yellow), each edition having different content. All 5 will cost \7,355.

The CD also includes a lottery ticket which gives the winner a chance to attend a fan meeting event for the recently concluded drama 
Kasuka na Kanojo, which starred Shingo Katori, as well as a serial code which you can enter in to win some goods that are not for sale in their 50! for SMAP! campaign.

Some comments from SMAP fans:
"We didn't want SMAP to resort to something like this."
"They're starting to sell cheap."
"The lottery method is similar to the Hallyu idols, and this entire method is worse than how AKB sells their CDs."


Now that the CD sales figures don't hold any meaning anymore, thanks to AKB, we should get rid of our notion that Ranking = Popularity.

5種類あるんだったら、初動売上30万を5で割って6万が5つってカウントしないと変じゃない?
内容も違うみたいだし
いや、平均的に売れてるかどうか知らないから6万じゃないとは思うけど
If there are 5 different versions, then shouldn't they divide the 300,000 by 5, meaning 60,000x5?
The contents are different anyway. Well, it's not exactly 60,000 since I'm sure that not all 5 versions are selling at a similar rate.

オリコンは纏めてだけど種類別にカウントしてるランキングもあるよ
Oricon seems to have added them all up, but they also counted the sales individually per type

出ない額じゃないが精神的に来そうだな。ファン減らすだけ。
It's not an amount that one can't shell out, but it'll just take its toll mentally. The fans will just keep decreasing.

SMAPも落ちたもんだ
I was wondering why they've been appearing a lot with AKB on TV, so this is it huh. SMAP sure have fallen.

悪質か?
全く同じCDを5,6枚買って捨てるより
別パッケージを複数買った方がいいだろ?
Is it an evil method?
Don't you think buying different variations is much better than buying 5, 6 copies of the exact same thing?

5枚は残るかも知らんが、抽選券のためにダブって買ったのは同じ運命。
しかも5枚違う内容だから、純粋に曲を楽しみたい人も5枚買わないとコンプできない悪質さ。
It's evil because the 5 have different contents, which means that the people who want to enjoy the songs need to collect them all.

ビクターは昔から結構えげつない。

十年くらい前にサザンのアルバムで色違い仕様(10種以上)とかやってたし。

もちろんAKBとかよりはるか前
Victor's evil methods goes all the way back in the day.
They even sold 10 different color variants for the Southern All Stars.
Of course, that was way before AKB started doing this.

それに関してのみ言えばとっくに意味が失われていたからこそあんな売り方が生まれたんじゃないかな
I think rankings already lost their meaning a long time ago, and that's why this kind of sales method was born.

売上ランキングなんて消費者は気にしたらダメ

でもこの売り方は引くわー
俺ならファンやめるレベル
The consumers shouldn't be concerned about these sales rankings.
But this method sure is a turn-off.
This is on a level that would make me quit being a fan if I were one.

悪質な売り方だ

買う買わないの決定権は消費者にある。
よって、問題ないぞ。
This is really evil.
But the consumers have the right to buy, or not to buy.
Therefore, there's no problem with this.

Don't you think that 300,000 is a horrible figure even if they did something to that extent? LOL
SMAP's totally finished.

買うのはどうせオバサンだが一番の被害者はせっせと働いた金をそんな事に使われてる旦那連中。
The ones who are buying are the old grannies, but the biggest victims here are the husbands who had to work hard and see the money that they earned be used for that purpose.

収録曲が違うのに同じCDとして扱う・・・って何かおかしくないか?
ジャケが違うとか、おまけが多い程度なら分かるけど
The songs are different, but it's treated as one CD... Don't you think that's weird?
I'd understand it if it had different covers or different freebies.

握手券、抽選券、特典DVDは興味あるやつだけ買えば良いだろって感じで
音楽自体に興味あるやつは買わずにスルー出来る話だけど
カップリング曲を分けられると失望覚えるなあ
Those who are interested can just buy the ones with handshake passes, lottery tickets, DVDs, and other what-nots.
The people who are only interested in the music can just ignore this, but when they split off the B-sides like this, as a fan you'd feel disappointed.

Johnny's has Arashi so they can still feel relieved.
And it's a smart move that Arashi are more inclined towards MomoClo.

叩かれなくて羨ましい
スマップは50曲中その商法使ったのは今作入れて3作だけなのに
I'm envious of Arashi. Almost all of their songs (over 20) are also sold using varying B-sides but no one's bashing them.
SMAP on the other hand has only applied this method to 3 of their 50 songs, including this one.

But those games are downloaded illegally before they even go on sale. You finish them then go buy numerous copies of the game (\8,800) for the sake of 1 telephone card. That's an amazing world they have there.

But you just have to buy one copy of each of the 5 editions, right?
One AKB baka-wota will buy 1,000 copies of the exact same thing so you can't compare them.

そんなのほんの一握りだけ
それも握手券つけて売れないチョンやアイドルがいるわけで。

規模関係なく複数商法やること自体恥
Those kinds of people are only a handful.
And there are also the unpopular gooks and idols who throw in handshake passes.

The scale here is irrelevant, this kind of selling method in itself is a disgrace.
89: 名無しさん@恐縮です 2013/07/03(水) 13:21:02.29 ID:51kKhE9L0
小銭のためというより50作目だから記念だよ
2010年に一度3種で売ってからはまたしばらく1種だったし
サザン復活でビクターもSMAPに頼らなくてよくなるから次はまた1種に戻るだろ
They're not doing it for "chump change", it's because they're celebrating their 50th single.
Yeah, they sold 3 different versions back in 2010 but they returned to selling just 1 version for a while.
And Victor doesn't have to rely on SMAP alone anymore since the Southern All Stars are back, so they'll probably sell just 1 version the next time around. (Related post HERE)

The number of original B-sides for the latest single
(backing tracks and remix versions excluded)

AKB - 5 songs
Arashi - 3 songs
SMAP - 2 songs
Kanjani - 4 songs

SMAP just forcefully increased these 2 songs into 5 types, Victor sure has guts.

Their fan service has changed a lot recently. Rather, they're now approving the fans to come closer to them. Idols sure become desperate for survival once they're in their 40s.

多分これからもいない
40歳だよ
But SMAP is amazing for still being able to sell 300,000 copies.
There's no idol in history who are already in their 40s, who are able to come out with 5 versions of one single and still sell that much.
And I don't think there will be another one either.
They're 40!

握手商法とカップリング違い商法を混同して叩くからおかしい

握手ならAKBだけ叩いてればすむが
カップリング違いはPerfume以外の全てのアイドルがやってるよ

嵐なんて2010年以来カップリング違い商法やらなかったことないよ
それ以前からやってたけどw
It's weird that people who seem to be thinking that handshake passes and B-side variants are the same are bashing them.

You can bash AKB all you want because of those handshake passes, but all other idols except for Perfume are selling multiple singles with different B-sides.

Even Arashi sold multiple singles with different B-sides everytime since 2010. They also did that before.

一方、内容が全く同じでも、別のCD扱いとしてカウントする例もあるらしいし
基準はクリアなほうがいいと思うけどね
So it's still treated as the same CD even when there are B-side variants?And I think that there are even special cases in which 2 different CDs with the same content are counted separately. I think they should clarify the grounds first.

Seriously speaking, among the CDs currently at the top of the rankings, I think Arashi's the only one selling their CDs properly.

They shouldn't be pushing themselves, so Arashi's choice is correct.
They're probably going to come up with other means when this drops.

AKB is the root of all evil since they had success with selling based not on the actual song but on the extras that came with it. It seems that people don't care about the songs anymore.
