Hinatazaka46’s 13th Single Sells 354,085 Copies on Day One

Hinatazaka46’s 13th single, "Sotsugyou Shashin Dake Ga Shitteru 『卒業写真だけが知ってる』", sold 354,085 copies on its first day, according to Oricon. 

While impressive, this figure falls short of their previous single, "Zettaiteki Dairokkan", which debuted with 384,309 copies.  

Oricon, Japan’s leading music sales tracking service, compiles rankings based primarily on physical sales, such as CDs and vinyl, alongside digital downloads and streaming data. 

Unlike Billboard Japan Hot 100, which combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, and YouTube views, Oricon focuses on guaranteed sales from stores within Japan.  

For Yasushi Akimoto’s idol groups, including Hinatazaka46, securing a top spot on Oricon’s charts is a standard expectation. 

Historically, his groups, such as AKB48 and Nogizaka46, have dominated the charts, with first or second-place debuts being the norm. 

Trivia
  1. This is the last single for the first generation.

  2. This single has the smallest formation compared to previous singles.

  3. Hiragana Hinatazaka46 performs the song SUZUKA, led by Tomita Suzuka. The song matches Suzuka's personality and was released on her birthday.

  4. First-day sales reached 354,085 copies, securing the top spot on today's Oricon Daily Single Ranking.


Despite the slight dip in sales, Hinatazaka46’s latest release remains a strong contender, reflecting their enduring popularity in Japan’s competitive idol scene.  

The group’s ability to maintain high sales figures highlights their loyal fanbase and the continued influence of physical media in Japan’s music industry. 

As Oricon continues to track these metrics, Hinatazaka46’s performance will be closely watched to see if they can sustain their momentum in future releases.
