Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance's Blu-ray First Week Sales Exceeds MICHAEL. Only Japanese can Feel 2.22
"Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance" released its Blu-ray and DVD on May 26 in Japan. We've got the first week sales figure. Blu-ray sold 0.357 million copies and DVD sold 0.283 million copies.
Altogether 0.64 million copies huh.
"MICHAEL JACKSON'S THIS IS IT" was the TOP seller in Japan's Blu-ray market, 0.351 million copies sold. 2.22 exceeds MICHAEL JACKSON in the first week.
It becomes Japan's Blu-ray TOP seller.
Just the figure of less than 1 week, we can expect further sales.
By the way, have you seen it?
I had watched it in theater, and I just buy the disc and watch again.
How is it?
I think only Japanese can really feel it.
Why...
Due to the songs.
Songs?
At the 2 climax scenes, they use 2 songs, and those songs are classic, taught to every child in school. Already 40 years old, but the songs are still sung by Japanese nowadays, we have special feeling to them.
So foreigners who don't know the songs can't enjoy?
I won't say that. But Japanese know the songs well, and there is special meaning for us. Not only the lyric, but something more which can touch our heart naturally. That's why only Japanese can really enjoy and understand Evangelion: 2.22 You Can (Not) Advance.
You should feel by yourselves then. No matter you are Japanese or not, I recommend this movie. In America, only "Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone" is in store, so look forward to an overseas release of 2.22.
