Yeah but its typically only 2 days. For Fancy and FS it came out 2 or 3 days later....not nearly a week.I mean it was always the case with kpop albums in Japan. The official release there is always like week later in most of the sites I checked. For example HMV books on 8th, and on Amazon Japan on 10th. I don't know the reason tho.

Hmm looked into it more and the release date in Tower is 7th....so a Sunday? Twice afaik have never released on a Sunday before-is this typical in Japan to launch a product on what is traditionally the slowest business day of the week?
Kind of bizarre...
Also it's not out until the 8th in HMV Japan....which is HMV under Hanteo? As typically J sales feature on the chart the following day so Tower's numbers will show up on Monday-but HMV will show up on Tuesday if I'm not mistaken...which is day 8...also Amazon.jp is the 10th....
I assume this was a ploy to direct buyers to Twice Japan store? Cut out the retailer.

Imported/foreign albums might be slightly different

Its so odd. So far weve had no albums sold in Japan yet. Even the ones sold on Twice Japannofficial website dont reflect until the middle of June and now HMV and Amazon wont even be selling during week 1....very odd.Albums are usually released at the start of the week (monday or tuesday)

Usually J Once can buy them on the Wedbesday of release week....

StanWonder if Running Man can give the song any kind of boost on the charts. Only 50k UL's difference between Twice in 5th on Melon and Bol4 in 7th now (and only 10k with OMG in 6th), have a feeling that hap will go in the next day or two if the show doesn't help up. Saying that I should probably following the chart too closely.
I've always found the Japanese discretion in release dates odd.

Yeah...again which is odd...going down in Melon a bit-but being the week end we'll see if it goes back up over 410k on Monday...but who knows.
Because it's holding it position on Flo and Vibe for the last 3 days and if not for that huge meme remix it would be back to number 1 on Genie too...
Kind of odd charting to be honest. Falling on some, stable on others and rising on Genie.....

i think most of dudes already left melon,, do you see that melon daily charting, full of bg stans.
seriously i think melon kinda irrelevant, i think they already have same level like flo and genie.. 30 % market share.
this just my personal view, idk im not koreans.
yeah kinda weird this hanteo number didnt include sales from japan..
jyp didnt really care about records afterall.

Yeah at first i though he staggered the J release to drum up sales on TwiceJapan to have an immediate boost on Hanteo....i think most of dudes already left melon,, do you see that melon daily charting, full of bg stans.

But was shocked when i found out the sales on TwiceJapan wont show up on hanteo until mid June....nuts to be honest.
But who knows, whether or not they are week 1 doesnt matter on the long run i suppose...sales are sales and Twice have smashed it already.
M&M so far our best Spotify, Hanteo, Itunes, Youtube, likes and to think we are 99% on the bubbling under with and outside shot at charting on BB100....fingers crossed.

Extremely frustrating today. Low stock in a lot of stores and fully sold out in two major retailers....not to mention on Sunday and likely will be the same today it's topped the stores charts for Tower but today's sales online or off wont be reflected until at least tomorrow....
JYPE need to learn and pull their heads from out or their bung holes.
When the biggest portion of your fandom live in 1 country don't wait a week to release the album....I mean I'd say it's common sense but JYPE has shown time and time again to completely lack that so...
Edit: LMAO...never mind...now it's delayed until June 10th in Tower....okay.

I use this site that NewUser showed me a couple of days ago.How do you guys check Melon ULs below 3rd place?
https://xn--o39an51b2re.com/melon/dcountindex/
It's pretty handy. You just search the song title or artist and it'll show you their gain or loss the previous recorded day. It seems to have a bunch of other handy chart information too.

Yeah so Google Chrome translates the website for me so it's pretty easy to follow.
But this is how you get to the daily chart up to a 1000:

Just pick the date and press the blue button and you'll see the ranking with the UL's next to it.

More & More 1st week Oricon sales. 1st to 7th, updated on the 9th.
Edit, image not working.
For reference Feel Special had 48.6k sold.
While I know to some it might look like a massive drop off keep in mind these sales reflect pretty much only 1 day of selling-which was a Sunday and it was only available in Tower on the 7th....while Feel special had 6 days tracked, so we must wait for next Tuesday for a clearer picture of where the sales are at.
But 12.7k in a day on a weekend leaves me very much excited to see how this week goes.

its funny you can enter top 1000 by having atleast 12k ULs..Yeah so Google Chrome translates the website for me so it's pretty easy to follow.

the only twice title track that didnt make it to top 1000 is signal.. that cursed song..

It depends tho-both distribute through Dreamus right? If I'm not wrong BTS also delay the release by a couple of days...I think it was weird BTS 7 only had like less than 1k sale for first week on Oricon and week 2 was nearly 400k iirc due to the staggered launch...its funny you can enter top 1000 by having atleast 12k ULs..

But this is by far the sloppiest from Twice release so far. Over a week for all stores to get it and it still isn't reflecting on Hanteo according to Tower lmao.
It's also amazing some BG's can sell nearly 1m albums yet their latest comeback isn't in the top 1000 needing less than 15k listeners....

yeah i notice it too, apparently the only one bg fans who relly appericiate their faves music is k-armys i think, even like ooh ahhh still sitting pretty in #900sIt depends tho-both distribute through Dreamus right?
