AKB48 has recently just set another record with the release of their latest single, “Kaze wa Fuiteiru,” which sold 1,045,937 copies in just one first day!

Their previous single, “Flying Get,” had sold 1,025,952 copies on its release day, which means that they surpassed their own record by 20,000 copies. This was their second consecutive single that sold over a million copies on its release day as well! It is also AKB48’s fourth consecutive single to sell over a million copies.

I’m sure it wasn’t easy to sell that many copies in just one day! Congratulations to AKB48 on their big achievement!
