1st day: 8th

didn't know bands like dog in the parallel world orchestra could have been a strong opponent on the charts.

I wonder how come they haven't posted the full pv of sisters on the YouTube channel, yet? Are they gonna keep the short version up forever?
And whats up with "2nd version" of the Pv I heard about? .deli.

It's just a video of people dancing to the song while holding up signs.

More specifically, it's the female extras who were in the "Sisters" PV. The full video is only up on their mobile fan club CLUB SCANDAL.

8th in the first day...I hoped for a better place

ScandalRO wrote:8th in the first day...I hoped for a better place

From what I can tell, there are some pretty big names on the top ten list.

Number one is SMAP (can't believe Kimura Takuya is still part of that group and they're still churning out #1 hits. Boy Bands in the West can't compare to one that's been topping the charts consistently for 22 years), and their single has almost 100,000 sales to date. Number two is another very popular boy band from Korea with 40K units sold. Unsurprisingly, number four is also a popular boy band from Korea.

We'll have a better idea of the single's performance after we get the first week sales numbers. But, it's seriously tough to compete with the unit sales of boy bands; it's that way all over the place. One Direction could do a cover of the dogs barking Christmas songs, and it would go platinum.

Have I missed  the photo book edition?  I've got the first press with DVD coming from Yesasia but they never mentioned a photo book version!  I'll be well vexed if I've missed out, I LOVE Scandal photo books!!!!!
EDIT: Yeah, Ok, I've spotted the photobook first editions on yahoo.co.jp so obv. I have missed out.  Bah, should've been reading this thread!!!!

There are only two editions. A regular and a DVD edition. The first press regular edition comes with a photo booklet. CDJ still has first press(comes with the photo booklet).

Thanks Aosaru, got an order in with CDJapan! Awesome!!

Well I Tried To Purchase The Single On iTunes But For Some Reason It's Not Available Inside The U.S. iTunes Store, So Then I Changed It To The Japanese Store And Found It But They Tell Me That My Money Is No Good. -_- This Sucks "Stamp" And "Hello World" Were Both Available On The Same Day As The Original Release So Why Is This Different ? #NotHappy

I've just received my copy today and after watching the DVD. OMG, so many feels and so many nice and fun moments. Like OMG Scandal speaking a little in french my native language, that was so funny and cute. 

Hum, about the 2 new song i will just say that i like them a lot and i'm glad to hear Tomomi voice even if it's the B-side.

Now, i can't wait for the Documentary film "hello world" to be fully release, i will do anything to buy it when it will be in DVD or Blue-ray.

Oh and forgot to say that i've ordered the regular version on CDJ to get the photo book too. I don't want to regret not having that photo book in my Scandal collection.

There's nothing more to say about it other than they just don't have it available for those outside of Japan.

However, JPU Records (SCANDAL's European distributor/record label) has it licensed and available on iTunes as well as Amazon UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain.

Not sure if it'll work for those outside of Europe/those countries listed (maybe try using a proxy?), but it wouldn't hurt to try.

Oricon only accounts for CD sales don't they? Or do they count digital downloads as well?

OOOOHHH they performed Life Is a Journey .clap. wish I could see it.  Tho it also would be awesome if they performed Girlism.

Do we know if/when Sisters will be up on itunes?

Look Above To What The Mod "ThoseGuiltyEyes" Said, She Addressed It. It Seems Like We're SOL On Getting The Single Digitally. *Tears*

I received my copy of the DVD edition on the day of release. The regular edition is somewhere in the mail and will probably be here in a couple days at least. ^.^ I really liked the DVD. It was nice to watch and really kind of funny. It's definitely something that can make one really look forward to the upcoming documentary. ^.^

I'm really fond of Sisters. Out of the two songs, I'm really more fond of Sisters. I think I'm still growing used to LIFE IS A JOURNEY. I like the song but the vocals are throwing me off a bit. I'm still taking time to get used to it and grow to like it haha. ^.^" Sisters is a more fun song too so I like listening to Sisters more often when I'm working and such.

Nope, they only count CD sales from 33,100 stores in Japan. Also since July 27, 2012 (the closure of RIAJ Digital Track Chart) there's no comprehensive digital chart in Japan.
