Who else is excited?! Oricon and fripSide’s official site announced that fripSide has officially scored their first #1 weekly on Oricon’s chart! sister’s noise has stayed in the top 2 every day since release.

Week 01　5/14 – 5/20 　#1　　27,275

The DVD version of fripSide 10th Anniversary Live in Tokyo sold 565 copies and charted at #22 for its first week. However, more fans went for the Blu-ray version as it sold 1,808, more than three times the DVD! The BD ranked #2 on Oricon’s weekly Blu-ray chart. Not bad for their first concert release.

fripSide also topped SoundScan charts this week with sister’s noise. The CD+DVD version between May 6 and May 12 sold 23,865 copies and the CD-only version sold 3,406 copies.

I feel so happy for fripSide! Congratulations!

sister’s noise Debuted at #2!!

Posted by Katie on

The new single debuted on the daily Oricon chart at #2 with 9,431 copies sold!! They were less than 600 copies from getting #1! I’m very happy to see this success since a couple of their previous releases only managed to sell that much in a week. Maybe they can manage to grab it sometime later in the week?

The live DVD of the anniversary concert debuted at #15 on the DVD chart, very exciting.

A 45 second preview of the music video. I didn’t watch since I’ll wait for my copy instead!

No word on the places offering the poster. I just checked Amazon, HMV, and CDJapan – none of these places have it listed.

I love the concert cover! The blue on the single cover is nice as well. Can’t wait to see the theme for sister’s noise.

EDIT:

And as soon as I posted this, fripSide updated their official site with a teaser image for sister’s noise (it showed up for just now, maybe it was uploaded much earlier)!! Can look at it at their homepage! The usual black and white theme but they always manage to make it interesting.
