Wednesday, March 27 was a great day in the history of Hinatazaka46. Their first single, released that day, had first-day sales of 359,528. That was the best-selling first day for a debuting female group ever.
In addition to that, they turned the Zip Spring Festival's second day into a Hinatazaka festival, with an audience that rocked and with a feeling of unity between fans and members and among the fans. Including fans of other performers.
It was the fulfillment of their dreams. I'm sure they are still feeling shell-shocked by the wonder of it all. It would be surprising if they weren't all grinning ear to ear today. Here's Thursday morning's Zip report:
Comments afterwards were immensely positive. Shizuku of the band Polkadot Stingray said she fell in love with them. She was done in by Memi's burikko line: "I want you to fall in love with me, meow." She described the members, particularly Memi, as "amazingly beautiful".

Kakizaki Memi blog: my oshis -- Kiku, Shida and Yurina
Oshimen
Kakizaki Memi2017.07.22
Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi
Today we went to the Tsutaya store in Shibuya (*˙˘˙*)!
The ground floor was all Keyakizaka46 ♥(*ﾟOﾟ*))))
Thank you so much ----!!!
We each signed our personal booths!
(If you take home one of the free newspapers, there might be something good in it ~)
Please be sure to come (*'-'*)ﾉ
Afterwards, I secretly wrote this:
 |
| "I support Kiku-chan, Shida-san, and Yurina! I'm Memi." |
(Sorry for the messy writing.)
If you like, come and find it ♪
Bye-bye.
Kakizaki Memi

The Keyakis came to Shibuya Tsutaya before it opened Friday and wrote all over their own displays. What Memi wrote is in the post I posted a few minutes ago. The green triangles are leaves of a big Keyaki tree that covers a wall and that people are encouraged to add their own leaves to. Who will find Memi's? I'd be there to find it myself if I weren't several thousand miles away.

Tower Records gives huge push to Keyakizaka46 album
When the new album goes on sale July 25th, every Tower Records store in Japan will have an oshimen, and will feature her in store decorations and events.
A year ago, the then-manager of the Tachikawa Tachihi store decided to make Shida Manaka the store's oshi. Then he/she moved to the Ario Kawaguchi store and brought the custom there, while the previous store also continued. They collaborated a few months ago to establish the Kingdom of Mona. Customers got papers declaring them subjects of King Mona.
Now the president of the company has taken up the idea and spread it to all 74 stores. I'm so happy for the manager who first put the idea into practice. That's how an organization should work: good ideas rise to the top. Each store's oshimen was chosen by staff at the store.
Stores have a system set up for taking a picture of a customer "with" the oshi:
