Just before the start of the election this morning, SKE48 made a great milestone with their latest single Aishiteraburu.

According to Oricon, SKE48‘s single sold 472K copies within the first week after the release, making it No.1 single in Oricon weekly chart last week. This result brought SKE48 a honorable achievement that they topped Oricon weekly chart for 5 consecutive singles from Banzai Venus released last March.

For songwriter and music producer Yasushi Akimoto, SKE48 is the 3rd group he produced reached this milestone.
