AKB48’s latest photo album, “AKB48 Sousenkyou! Mizugi Surprise Happyou 2011 (AKB48 General Election! Swimsuit Surprise Announcement 2011)” sold over 94,000 copies in its first week of release. With this result, it topped the Oricon Book Ranking for the week of August 15th. Previously, their photo book from last year titled “AKB48 Sousenkyou! Mizugi Surprise Happyou 2010” held the record for the highest selling female photo book for a week with 71,000 copies sold but now, they’ve broke their own record by selling over 20,000 copies more compared to last years record.
This book features 21 Senbatsu members who were voted this past June on 22nd single’s “The 3rd AKB48 Senbatsu Sousenkyou” and 19 ‘under girls’ in their swimming attires. This best-selling photo book also focuses on gravia pictures and interviews with the girls. In addition, the book also specifically includes 150 poster cards and double-sided big poster featuring the Senbatsu members.
Furthermore on August 12th, their 22nd single “Flying Get” will be released and they will also hold the “AKB48 24th Single Senbatsu Janken Taikai” at Nippon Budoukan on September 20th.
