K-On Concert BD is #1 Selling Music BD in Japan So Far
posted on by Egan Loo
The survey firm Oricon reports that the K-ON! Live Event Let's Go! Blu-ray concert disc is the top-selling music Blu-ray Disc release in Japan since Oricon started keeping records two years ago. It sold 22,000 copies to also rank as the #1 overall Blu-ray release during the June 28-July 4 week.
The K-ON! Live Event Let's Go! Blu-ray is the third music Blu-ray release to be the #1 overall weekly Blu-ray release — and the first since Nana Mizuki Live Diamond x Fever achieved that goal in December with 13,000 copies in its first week. The first music Blu-ray release to top the overall weekly chart was Namie Amuro Best Fiction Tour 2008-2009 with 14,000 copies in its first week.
Until now, Namie Amuro Best Fiction Tour 2008-2009 was also the top-selling music Blu-ray Disc release in Japan. However, the K-ON! Live Event Let's Go! Blu-ray sold more copies (22,000) in one week than Namie Amuro Best Fiction Tour 2008-2009 has sold (21,000) since September of last year. (Nana Mizuki Live Diamond x Fever has sold 17,000 copies since December.)
The DVD version of K-ON! Live Event Let's Go! ranked #4 on Oricon's weekly DVD sales chart.
