We’re continuing the theme of AKS suctioning money out of our wallets this week here on “This Week in Music”, with yet another release heading our way. As if to further add to the pain, it was also recently revealed that Not yet’s new single will be coming out at the end of the month too. Guess it’s true what they say; “AKS releases are like buses; you wait around for one then a million come at the same time”.

All joking aside, just a quick mention of NMB48 before we get into the meat of things. It’s not looking like they’re going to get the number one spot (Arashi have that pretty much on lock) but they have managed to at least outsell their previous single “Junjou U-19″, something that was looking a little uncertain at the start of the week. Good thing they had that sudden sales spike of 91k copies thanks to all of the “theater versions” that they shipped. Final sales figures aren’t in at the time of me writing this post but I’d expect them to finish the week having sold around 370k copies. A very reasonable return considering the impending release of this year’s senbatsu election single.

Pointless rambling over and done with, let’s take a look at what’s on offer this week.
