NEWS: Haruhi Suzumiya: Over One Million CDs Served

Wow, awesome. Smile

actually i'm surprised that it hasn't reached million cds much earlier with so many different albums released...

i'm still a bit sad that i actually BOUGHT Japanese soundtrack, 2 singles for opening and closing themes, and Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase single then got ANOTHER copies when I bought limited editon US DVD release....it was like "OH MAAAAAN!!!" moment but oh well...at least those songs brought many hours of listening enjoyment when i got them...

I'm not surprised. The songs for this series are all pretty amazing, and even if the the songs were not that great the popularity of the show would probably make a lot of albums sold anyway.

(I love the Character singles!)

@Shiroi Hane

I own the CD single in question and it is indeed Desho Desho.

There are either 2 versions or the one shown in the thread you linked is a bootleg as it looks a bit shoody if you ask me.

Isn't the song also listed as Desho Desho in the credits themselves? Shouldn't that be like the nail in the coffin for ANN to change it?

Think about it try singing the song and say De-Show De-show it doesn't sound right nor does it look right. It really should be changed.

In light of the recent Endless Eight controversy, I'd deem it appropriate for the new OP to have been given an alternative title. Instead of "Super Driver", it should have been a variation on that of the previous series: "Broken the-show the-show".

Not to make light of the achievement, but those numbers seem a bit inflated. It may be that they have 'shipped' 1 million CD's but I don't think they've actually sold that many. Oricon's last listing for the 'God Knows' CD (which was a couple weeks back) was showing it with sales of aproximately 145k copies, having spent 119 weeks in the top 200. I'm sort of curious where mantanweb got their numbers from. Bandai? Very Happy

I wonder why the Japanese would use that romanization for de-show? Typically they would use a long vowel at the end to spell it out, just like the katakana for the word show: ショー

This reminds me i bought 1 copy of Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase
and got 2 for some reason for Christmas.

I'm hoping that we'll get the opening and closing CD singles should Bandai do the "Limited Edition" thing again for Season 2, but I suspect I'll probably just have to order them from Japan (though I might just wait for a proper soundtrack album with both songs on it).

I don't know which opening song I prefer; "Bouken Desho, Desho" is peppy and upbeat, and I love the brass during the chorus, but "Super Driver" has a nice slightly-metal guitar-driven edge to it.
