>>6278313Didn't know this is a thing and took a look at the hourly rankings. Tenkyuu sold more than Kakero by midnight. Tenkyuu instrumental kept hanging around the list until 20:00, meanwhile Kakero instrumental never made it to the list.
In the week before Bluerose/Comet release, Suisei wasn't on the chart.

New release getting to the top gets attention from eithersome entirely new people who bought Suisei's entire discography, or woke up deadsubs, probably both. Not necessarily all that surprising, but it's nice to have evidence that it does happen. Given how you probably don't need all that many sales to get to the top 100, these people are likely to be measured in the tens, not in the hundreds. Still, it's nice to see that Suityan might incline from this, however little, and the new one seems to have caused a slightly bigger splash than Bluerose/Comet.
I really would like to have both Kakero and Tenkyuu in Oricon top three solely so I could see the exact numbers for how big the difference in sales between the two singles in a double release is, but looks like Yoasobi and BTS are going to take all of daily Top 3.
>>6308760I'm fairly certain Suisei has talked about the change of fanbase name in some ancient zatsudan or other. INNK manager thought it sounded too similar to soratomo and ordered Suisei to change it. When Sora heard about it months later, she was livid and thought the manager dumb, but at that point it had already been changed. Also, it might be a good idea to note that she occasionally refers to cometomos as separate from hoshiyomi in a sort of acknowledgment of the old guard still following her.
