Iwasa Misaki Solo Debut [Mujineki] 1st Day Sales


Iwasa Misaki's solo debut single [Mujineki] released today. Unfortunately it didn't manage to sell enough to reach the Top 3 position in the daily charts.

The first day sales figure is unknown because Oricon doesn't show the sales for singles outside the Top 3. But we can speculate the sales by looking at the 3rd place figures, which is ClariS's Naisho no Hanashi with 10,023. My guess is that Mujineki sold around 8-9k.

Well that is certainly lower than I had hoped for. I was expecting it to be around 30k, but less than 10k is just sad. Well idols releasing enka singles has never really been successful. Hello!Project's Maeda Yuki released a number of enka singles since 2011 but they didn't sell much either.

Hopefully the sales pick up later in the week.
