Kashiwagi Yuki’s handshake event at her local town Kagoshima, had a shortage from the outset

  July 15, 2012

“
It was supposed to hold a lottery to select 500 winners to join the handshake event but only 492 people applied to the event.

■Kashiwagi Yuki Handshake event
Time and Date: July 17 2012 18:30~19:30
The venue: MBC media hall (Kagoshima-city)
Application method: Purchase (by cash) 5th single of French Kiss at Tower Record shot in Aeon mall Kagoshima

Seriously???

“
I wanted to go to meet her, though I’m in North Kanto region…..

“
See? This pretty much tells us a lesson that, “Don’t underestimate rural prefectures”

“
I laughed hard as I was seeing the table of winning numbers….

“
Even though she and FK’s single has been featured in local media like TV show TGETEGE…?
After all this is how AKB’s popularity is like?

“
492 copies were sold at one Tower Record store? I think this is a pretty good number.

“
It would have been better that if people can buy the right of application at record stores in more central area of the city….

“
What if it was sold 9 copies more??

“
Because they announced this on G+, I think Ota have surely recognized this.
This tragedy ruined the possibility of her holding events in her local town, Kagoshima….

“
After all, AKB Ota are concentrated in metropolitan area, Chubu and Kansai region where variety of TV programs can be watched….

“
You can’t say Kansai people can watch rich and full content of AKB. AKBINGO, Ariyoshi or any other midnight TV shows are not aired here, even Majisuka is aired 3 days after it’s aired in Kanto…..

“
↑And fast one hour of Heyx3 live special is cut off in Kansai, so we can’t watch performances of branch offices and subunits….

“
Though it’s a rural prefecture, why they limited it to Tower Record Aeon Mall Kagoshima store…. Lol
Plus only those who pre-ordered the single by cash!?!? Lol
Plus, they should hold this even on weekends rather than weekdays.

“
Anyway, store manager of the store is probably happy about this as as many as 492 copies were sold in 4 days (July10-13).

“
AKB programs aren’t aired in rural prefectures, and evens are also rarely held there, so the number of AKB fans are by far smaller than you imagine.

“
If this handshake event will become TV news in local televisions, next time it will sell more, I think.

“
Recently 25 times as many people as a set capacity applied for her solo concert…..
But it can’t be helped because this is Kagoshima….

“
It’s nice that everyone who bought the CD can shake hands with her^^

“
They should have announced to the winners by email…..

“
By the way, you need to drive a car to go to this aeon mall.

And, why did they choose this venue for the handshake event? Central station or the astronomical hall were much more convenient places….

“
So I feel sorry for Mr. Osawa, as he has too many things to deal with…..
If they announced this event on Yukirin’s blog or Gugutasu, the result would be different….

“
She announced both on her blog and Gugutasu….

Whatever, it’s okay that this kind of thing happen once in a while, isn’t it?
