SKE48 Become Nations #2 Idol Unit
SKE48 Become Nations #2 Idol Unit
History has been made by yet another 48 family unit.SKE48 new single “Pareo wa Emerald entered the Oricon Weekly charts at #1 with sales of 379,000. When you add these total sales to their recent single “Banzai Venus” SKE48 has now officially become the #2 national idol unit .NMB48 by the way is number 3 as they have a total debut sales figure of 218,000.
Maeda Atsuko remains the number one AKB48 soloist as “Flower” sold 177,000 copies.
In related news SKE48 as you are already aware the double Matsui`s will be on the AKB48 “Flying Get” single as Senbatsu members.
The question now is, is the fan base of the 48`s strong enough to push SKE 48 and AKB48 over 1 million in sales at the same time. If SKE48 continues on the pace they are on, this is a real possibility.

I'm proud of them!! I'm glad that this single is their best selling one but honestly I don't like the song. It's like they stuck gomen ne summer and ponytail together. The second half of the chorus isn't bad though. The PV makes up for it though since it's pretty awesome.
ReplyDeletefor me all 48 family are one
ReplyDeleteIf AkiP comes up with a great single,I wonder what process is involved in deciding if it goes to AKB,SKE,or NMB,or is he just purely creating for AKB48.
ReplyDeleteIt's like Tsunku having fun and writing for Afilia Saga East,a single that I liked more than many produced for Morning Musume.I miss the old days of Marippe,Aibon and Nono ,life seemed more fun back then!
Just to say,this is an excellent site,with great up to date info on new and emerging JPop acts.
ReplyDelete@Supercross1985 Tsunku only composed the music for the ASE single.
ReplyDelete@ Supercross AkiP is only a lyricist, others write the music .He has written many lyrics for songs that don`t have anything to do with idols. AkiP is much more famous of a lyricist then Tsunku, because he’s been doing Idol genre going all the way back t the 80`s.
ReplyDeleteTsunku as a musician is a more complete songwriter.
