Chapter 169: Animate Aura

At the end of April, AKB48's first underground single "Cherry Blossom Petals", which was voted on on 2CH, was recorded by all the students of the first phase and began its official underground sale. Because it is an underground single www.biquge.info without the help of mainstream sales channels, it can only be sold through AKB Theater and AKB Cafe.

"Yay~ This is our first single."

The girls who have been looking forward to it since the first official recording in the studio in mid-April saw the first single belonging to AKB48, and they completely forgot about any conflicts and disagreements. Although it's just an underground single, although they didn't shoot a single PV, Yu-sang said that this is the first step as their original intention, so they use daily images as PV, although they are also worried about whether such a single will be popular and what the sales will be, but, finally, the single record has been released, and it is finally a step towards the dream of a distant place.

Outside the AKB Theater, a special window was opened, and the "Cherry Blossom Petals", which featured a first-term girl in a white kaftan and a fan skirt as the cover, was placed in the most prominent position in the window.

In addition to the die-hard pillars, the other Wota who turned their attention to AKB48 because of the rather cute mobile phone pendant puppets also began to gradually turn their tentacles, cough~cough~, and became interested in AKB48. AKB48's single, which is the first step of the original intention, does not use the usual PV shooting mode, but directly uses AKB48's sweat and tears since its debut as the PV form, which directly opens a door in the hearts of Wota.

It turns out that this is an idol group with experience growth value!

It turns out that this is the two-dimensional experience mode that I have always been obsessed with!

Then, the number of columns into the pit began to increase again.

The indie production "Cherry Blossom Petals" sold more than 3W copies in the first week, and directly rushed to the Oricon chart, following Arashi, ranking 8th in the weekly sales of singles, and with the blessing of Animate Halo (PS1), such sales only recorded a 21% decline in the second time, and sold about 2W4000 copies, Oricon ranked one more place, and showed a long-term sales trend. According to the number of online sellers Tower-Records, the indie production "Petals of the Cherry Blossoms" ranked first and second week on the indie production list. The results of the first underground single made the girls ecstatic. In view of this situation, the production of the second underground single is also on the daily basis. However, this time, the vote for the second single was directly transferred to the official AKB48 website.

After three months of intense development and testing, the official website of AKB48 has undergone a second upgrade after the initial disclosure. After the second upgrade, the AKB48 official website not only adds the registration application process of the AKB48 Official Club Pillar Club, but also introduces the AKB48 single voting and comment program to further expand the information exchange between the AKB48 official and the pillars.

In order to expand the further cooperation between Kazuko and Yuu Band, KDDI also sent relevant technicians to carry out joint development together with the team of Kazuhisa Nishikawa. Of course, the main work of the KDDI team is to be able to develop the client support for the AKB48 official message board on AU phones. Since it is a voting method, you will always be able to find the corresponding profit point in the future! With the current sales model of AKB48 mobile phone pendant dolls, it is not impossible to develop AKB48 as a two-dimensional product!

While AKB48 is steadily developing, the theme song based on the "Tram Man" novel was officially released in late April. The demo of "The Great March of Love" (ラヴ?パレード), which mixed the sound of the train tracks and the sound of anime, was affirmed by Masanori Murakami of "Tram Man". The production of a new single by Hikari and Yu is also on the agenda. However, before that, Li Youtai still went to Comix-Wave, and the previously determined voice actor job still can't be put down. There is no way, it's all money, it's all money.

The renovation of Sakurano Koko High School in Nakano is nearing completion. For the time being, AKB Brokerage is leasing Sakurano Koko High Industries under the name of Moli Construction. Well,Now it's more accurate to say,It's actually AKB school.。 No matter what Shiho Watanabe says, it's useless. Lease is rental! Buy it when you have the money.

Watanabe Shiho's calculation is that you owe me, let you owe me, let you owe me so much that you don't reject me, it's always a matter of getting caught. Li Youtai couldn't see her careful thinking, discussed it with Kazuhiko Sato, and finally signed a contract with Moli Construction to rent and have a limited right to purchase.

Even if it's a rental, you need money.

Therefore, all "legal and reasonable" ways to make money, Li Youtai will not refuse. If it weren't for the tradition of the Being system, if it weren't for Watanabe Shiho's resolute opposition, he would have even thought of going to Live everywhere. What do you think of the Light and Yo Band? Rotten cabbage on the street? You've given me a bit of dignity as the lead singer of Light & You.

Li Youtai finally laughed and played Watanabe Shiho with a brain breakdown!

The angry Watanabe Shiho has a heart to kill and then be happy.

Huh~Huh~Huh~ Just thinking of the countless Loli waiting to be fed in addition to squatting Na-chan and a Takamina on the side, Watanabe Shiho angrily slapped the contract on Li Youtai's body.

"The contract you want."

PS1: Merchant chains that mainly sell anime CDs/DVDs, such as Animate, Tiger's Den, GAMERS, Sofmap, YAMADA Denki, Ishimaru Electric, Laox, etc., Japan's Oricon Charts do not record the sales of these stores every day, but once a week, so the Oricon daily chart sales of singles or albums that are gradually declining, the weekly chart may move up a few places again. Because Animate has the largest number of stores in Japan, it continues to use the name of Animate, and this phenomenon is called the Animate effect, also known as the Animate aura. However, the Animate aura we are talking about here refers to the AKB48 small trend brought out by the AKB48 gachapon machine that entered the Animate chain.
