AKB48’s sister group, NMB48’s debut single, “Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo” (released on July 20th) sold 218,000 copies in its first week and was able to top the Oricon weekly charts for the week of August 1st.
With this achievement, they were successfully able to avoid their punishment of wearing gym bloomers if they were not able to top the Oricon charts. Team N’s captain, Yamamoto Sayaka (18) said, “Since it is something we promised to the public, I am astonished that we were actually able to top the charts.” Yamada Nana (19) also said, “I am really happy that we got first place and we don’t have to wear any bloomers. It’s like killing two birds with one stone,” and made a sigh of relief.
The ‘bloomer punishment’ was decided during their announcement of this CD. Although the first and second place was going back and forth throughout the previous week against Tohoshinki’s new single, “Superstar”, but in the end, the girls were able to follow through to score first place with their new debut single.
Yamamoto additionally stated, “This is accomplishment is all because of our fans and our seniors who have made our ’48 groups’ big. Even though we are powerless right now, we want to, as NMB48, to continue to grow so that we can keep up with our seniors.” Member Watanabe Miyuki (17) continued, “I will continue to do our best so that people will recognize our ranking so please back us up,” and asked for the audience for future support.
Congratulations, girls!
