AKB48's new single "Heart Ereki" sells over a million on the first day, breaks B'z record

Idol group AKB48's 33rd single "Heart Ereki" (Heart Electric) released on the 30th sold a total of 1.02 million units on it's first day and ranked first on the 10/29 daily rankings. This is the first time in history that an artist has released 14 consecutive singles that have recorded over 1 million in sales.

This is the 14th consecutive million-seller for AKB48, dating back to their 20th single in February of 2011 "Sakura no ki ni narou", and their 15th in total. They have broken B'z record of 13 straight singles that have sold over a million which started from "LADY NAVIGATION" (March 1991) to "REAL THING SHAKES" (May 1996).

Even in the total number of singles that have surpassed a million sales category, they have tied with B'z with a total of 15 singles, and are on the verge of taking the solo lead. Another feat achieved by AKB48 is that this is their 21st straight single, dating back from their 13th single "Iiwake Maybe" (August 2009), to debut at #1 on the first day in the daily rankings.

This song is influenced by the "group sound" that was popular in the 1960s. Released exactly 8 years from October 30, 2005 when Haruna Kojima (25) passed the "AKB48 Opening Member Auditions", this single commemorates her first time taking the center spot for a single.

Kojima comments: "When I received the mail from Akimoto-sensei that 'Kojima will be the center', I thought there must have been some mistake, or that it was spam mail or something. But I am truly happy that I was chosen to be the center for a single that has achieved such an honorable feat". Minami Takahashi (22) also gave her comments: "I felt happy and honored after hearing that we made history with 14 straight singles that sold over a million. We will keep our feet on the ground as all members will strive to do our best so that we will not put shame to this feat".

I didn't even know that they released a single

２ｃｈでオワコンって言葉が流行った理由がよくわかる

こりゃJ=POPは完全にオワコンやわ。。。。。。

Now I know the reason why the word owakon* became popular on 2ch.
J-POP is totally owakon with this.

* ("Owakon" short for "Owatta contents", meaning "finished", "washed-up", "done for", etc.)

ヲタ以外知らないミリオン曲

A million-seller song that no one other than the wotas know

17：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:10:38.11 ID:hzhHQqY+0

この曲名を今初めて知った、勿論、聴いたことも無い

Ｂ’ｚのミリオン曲は曲名も聴いたこともあるものだけど

なんだろうＡＫＢのこの違和感・・・

This is the first time I heard the name of this song. Of course, I've never heard it yet.
At least I've heard the names of B'z songs, though...
I wonder what this feeling of awkwardness is towards AKB.

超ピンポイント的に局地的豪雨が凄かった話されても

離れた所に住んでる人には興味無いって感じかね
It's like hearing stories about the extreme rainfall in this very specific area, but people who don't live remotely near it don't care too much about it

26：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:13:25.39 ID:c7suCtIm0

「何枚売れた」じゃなくて

「何人が買った」のデータが欲しい

I want the data for "how many people bought the single", not "how many units it sold"

38：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:16:09.47 ID:v7hJzaxh0

B'zのアルバム記録は抜けないだろうなｗ

But I don't think they'll surpass the B'z album sales record

47：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:18:03.30 ID:2wFU6dlz0

さすがに恋するフォーチュンは知ってるし歌えるけど、この曲は流れてるのかも分からんなぁ

At least I know "Koi suru Fortune Cookie" and I can sing it, but I can't even tell if this song is being played or not

55：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:19:13.35 ID:N/z82q2Q0

CDが売れなくなったこのご時世に

このシステムを成功させた秋元康は天才だし

それを頑張って体現してるAKBの子たちは偉いと思う

Yasushi Akimoto is a genius for succeeding with this kind of system in this day and age when CDs don't sell anymore.
And I also think that these AKB girls who work hard to embody that vision are also great.

やべえ

サビすらしらないわw

フォーチュンクッキーのほうは知ってるんだがな

Damn, I don't even know the chorus w
"Fortune Cookie" is much more well-known, huh.

AKBってアルバムはからっきし駄目なんだな
So AKB's albums don't cut it, huh

819：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 22:33:30.20 ID:NiNnXZtd0: >>79

こうしてみるとミリオンを何回も到達した者って意外と少ないんだなあ
Looking at it like this, there's unexpectedly a small amount of artists who went over a million multiple times, huh

846：はんどるとらふりぃ ◆7DSin/ZgVs 2013/10/30(水) 22:41:36.75 ID:bC5Zj9kg0: >>79

AKBはアルバムをシングル価格で売ればいいんじゃないの(･ω･｀)
Maybe AKB should sell their albums for the same price as singles (･ω･｀)

This'll be impossible w
Albums are more expensive, and they can't just release these haphazardly one after another.

ミリオン行きまくってた時代の人とはいえ19作ってすげーな
Even if those were the times when almost everyone had million-sellers, 19 albums is still an amazing number

シングル2～3枚分の値段なんだけど、ヲタは握手券が欲しいだけだから

アルバムに握手券3枚でも付けたらゴミの数が減る分、売れると思われ

ヲタは接触できればCDなんてどうでもいいんだよ
The price of an album is equivalent to 2~3 singles, but wotas just want the handshake passes so if they put in 3 handshake passes in albums, then I think it would sell more, and will help in reducing the amount of trash.
The wotas don't care about the CDs as long as they can get close to these idols.

Akimoto's amazing for coming up with this system

キャバクラのパクリだけどな
It's an imitation of the cabaret club system, though

107：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:32:04.99 ID:WmKJCb6T0

近頃は街で音楽流さないからさっぱり分からないｗ

ヲタさん達はまだがんばって買ってるのか

Music isn't being played around the city these days like they used to so I had no clue w
So the wota-sans are still working hard to buy all of them, huh.

122：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:33:58.36 ID:kH1hgqv7i

1人10枚買ってるから実質10万くらいだよね

That's about 10 copies per wota, so it must actually be 100,000 people

132：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:35:29.98 ID:Z2oUP+2C0

AKBの場合、嵐やEXILEと違って曲もカラオケランキング1位だし

みんな知ってるのよね

逆にB'zはウルトラソウルぐらいしかもう覚えてない感じ

In AKB's case, they're different from Arashi and EXILE and even make it to #1 on the karaoke rankings.
Everyone knows their songs.

On the other hand, Ultra Soul's the only song I remember from B'z.

135：名無し募集中。。。 2013/10/30(水) 20:36:01.65 ID:YxJDXRWv0

ＣＤバブル時代に作られたインチキ記録を破ってくれて痛快だわ

ＢｚなんてＣＤが売れない今の時代に曲出したら30万も売れねえだろ

I feel so satisfied that they finally broke that cheat of a record that was created in the CD bubble era.
B'z probably won't even be able to sell 300,000 in this age where CDs don't sell too much anymore.

150：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:38:26.51 ID:sfVgcLAS0

ジャケット5種類

握手券、ランダム写真、なんかオマケ16種(笑)

16種類のオマケ揃える奴とか何枚買うんだろうな

5 album covers.
Handshake pass, random pictures, and 16 types of bonuses (LOL)
I wonder how many units those people who complete the 16 types will buy?

161：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:40:01.58 ID:pZEcHofQ0

大きい会場借りて300人近くで握手会4日間するんだもんなあ

枚数だけ売っても経費半端ないよな

They rent a huge venue and 300 people hold a handshake event for 4 days.
Even if they sell all these units, their costs must be astronomical too.

176：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:41:30.50 ID:NCWrGdNS0

日本はこんなんでいいのかね？

Is Japan fine like this?

記録には残るけど

記憶には残らないミリオン曲

A million-seller that will remain in the record books, but not in the memories of the people.

お前らが金落とさないからこんな事になったんだよ

This is what happens because you guys aren't spending your money

音楽に限らず日本はほんと金の落としがいのない国になりつつあるな

日本製で欲しいものが年々少なくなってきてるわ
It's not just money, but Japan is turning into a country that isn't worth spending money on.
The things made in Japan that I like are decreasing yearly.

ヘビーローテーションだけは知ってる

職場の飲み会でもみんなで歌ったりしてた

でも他のミリオンいった歌はまーったく知らない

Heavy Rotation's the only song I know.
Everyone I know even sang it during the drinking parties at work.
But I don't know their other songs that sold over millions of copies at all.

247：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:49:24.15 ID:N/z82q2Q0

AKBも楽して売ってるわけじゃないからな

お前ら何時間も立ったままキモいおっさんと笑顔で握手できるか？

CD売上枚数が人気や音楽性に比例してないからって非難される道理は無いわ

But it's not like AKB has it easy when they sell these.
Can you guys stand for hours and keep shaking hands with all these gross old men while keeping a smile on your faces?
Just because CD sales is not indicative of the popularity and musicality doesn't mean that you should be hostile towards them.

264：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:51:00.73 ID:oqVyghot0

そもそもB’ｚのミリオンだってCDバブル時代だから大したもんじゃないだろ

The millions sold by B'z was possible because it was in the CD bubble era so it's not a big deal

283：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:53:28.83 ID:9nVH/hY50

ＣＭとかでしつこく聴かされるからサビだけは知ってるけどフルは知らない

I hear these songs so persistently in commercials so I know the chorus, but I don't know how the entire song sounds like

290：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:54:41.20 ID:JPHqcimZ0

AKBマジですごいな

ミリオンなのに知らない曲がどんどん増えていくわｗ

AKB's seriously amazing.
These million-seller songs that I don't know of are piling up one over another. w

311：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 20:57:35.98 ID:Y6N8c03k0

政府までAKBに肩入れしてるからなｗ

もう何やってもびくともしない

Even AKB has the government's support. w
I won't be surprised anymore no matter what they do.

353：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 21:04:56.79 ID:ylcPjQj70

モー娘もピークは2年くらいだったしAKBは凄すぎるよ悔しいけど

まだまだ落ちる気配ないし本当にすごいわ

Even MoMusu's peak lasted for only 2 years. It's vexing, but AKB really is amazing.
And I don't feel them falling down any time soon, they're really amazing.

380：名無しさん＠恐縮です 2013/10/30(水) 21:11:12.56 ID:4lRVT9zp0

世間に注目されてミリオンじゃなくて

ミリオン取ってから世間が知るという

It's not that they sold a million because the general public paid attention to them.
The public became aware of their existence because they sold a million.
