Nao Kanzaki and a few friends: Nogizaka46: A little of this and that for 2015 #20....

Last post mentioned that the group's 12th single sold 609,000 copies it's first day out, actually meant to say that was the sales figure for the first week so thanks to the viewer who corrected me, sure I've made many other mistakes. Hope I haven't made too many mistakes but with the amount of posts here hard not to have some but this isn't one which is that the group's 13th single that came out today, "Ima, Hanashitai Dreka ga Iru", sold 533,500 copies in it's first day. That would be a record for them and if they can sell 76,000 more copies in the week then it'd be another record.
They're like most popular J-Pop groups though which is they sell most of their copies in week #1, most are from advance sales and then the numbers tend to drop off quickly. They should be around that 609,000 mark or perhaps will beat it but they're going to need some better sales in the following weeks to top the 700 K mark. That could happen though as except for one exception all their singles have sold better than the previous one, single #12 has sold about 680,000 copies which they should be able to top but if you notice that means after that single's first week it's sales were only 71,000.
Will keep you updated on the numbers as I learn them, seems like a really terrific start for the single. Like most of their singles too the B-Sides are very good, quite a few are better than other group's A-sides. And the 'Undergirls' usually have one or two of those songs and they always get the opportunity to sing them at the group's concerts. On October 25th the 'Undergirls' had a live show at the Aiia Theater, it's part of their 'Road to Budokan' series of shows. The girls are getting ready as they're going to be performing two shows at Budokan on December 17th and 18th, here's some pics from the performance on the 25th.

Been a while since there's been any posts dedicated for their monthly cards, lately have been having them in their solo posts. Nanase rarely has any solo posts here and really can't think of a good reason why she doesn't but here are her cards for October. Following them are some pics from the December issue of Non-no.
