This was to be expected... but I have a feeling LL will not be able to achieve another sweeping of the Top ranks for Anime Songs (Anison) for a 3rd consecutive week, since the stock levels at Amazon JP is incredibly bad right now. Just have to hope that other retailers have enough stock to meet the current demand, since undoubtedly buyers will move to those stores instead.

Angelic Angel just went back in stock today, SUNNY DAY SONG is completely gone (marked up reseller stock left). 僕たちはひとつの光 is also completely gone since July 12, and its release date is July 15! Then we have stock issues with the Best Live collection II album Regular Edition, the Best Live collection I BD edition, and the KADOKAWA Ascii Media Works x Dengeki G's magazine collaboration single, which has been out for less than 3 months.

Clearly Lantis is struggling due to having 3x 100K+ sellers coming out in 3 consecutive weeks (the best Live II collection was only released 7 weeks ago, so it hasn't been long since the last 100K+ seller). The 5th live concert should have been solicited a long time ago, as the 4th concert was released nearly a year ago, and the 3rd concert was released only 8 months before the 4th concert. Who knows if Lantis can solve all these current stock problems?

Another CD release that suffered from the stock struggle is the Hibike OST... since for some reason it is being handled by Lantis as well. Sure the increased demand after the last episode is partly to blame, but it must've clearly struggled since Lantis would've heavily prioritised the LL singles first.

Do you think the creator of K-On! is plotting her revenge on Love Live?

Long Live Love Live indeed!
However, there was one error in the article I noticed. Eli, Nozomi and Nico are the three thirdy year students. Hanayo, Maki and Rin are the first years

Lantis produced the soundtrack for Hibike hence we they're in charge of distributing it. It seems like it's been a massive couple of months for them.

The K-On! franchise isn't as active as it used to be, so I don't think kakifly would have as much of an opportunity. Also, I have read that kakifly is a guy.
