Sale figures for Japanese DVDs/BluRays?

Post by sangofe » Mon May 09, 2011 6:02 pm

Hey there, I just wanna prove for someone what has been talked about in the podcasts -- that Kai has been selling crappy. Could anyone find links to sale numbers, and maybe make a post? Cheers.

When the first volume was released, it placed extremely low on the DVD chart, but at least up at #7 on the Blu-ray chart.

After that... uhh... did it ever show up on the Oricon list ever again...? Maybe so, but possibly only once or twice more. Remember, that was also just a single disc, so it was an extremely low buy-in; the Blu-ray release is sets-only after that.

Thank you for this information, but I guess we only know sales for volume 1, then?
