1830m (Sen Happyaku Sanjū Mētoru, "One Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty Meters") is the second album by the Japanese female idol group AKB48. It is a double-album release and was released in Japan on August 15, 2012[2] by King Records. It sold 1,051,000 copies.[3]
Album information
The title 1830m reflects the distance from AKB48 Theater in Akihabara to Tokyo Dome,[4] an indoor baseball stadium with over-50,000 capacity where AKB48 had performed for the first time, from August 24 to 26, 2012. It was released in two editions, a regular edition in a special box with a 48-page photobook, a bonus DVD, and a random photo, and a theater edition with 14 alternate covers, a handshake event ticket, and a photo of an AKB48/SKE48/NMB48/HKT48 member chosen at random.
This is the last album to feature Team A member and the group's ace Atsuko Maeda.
Reception
The album debuted at number one in the Oricon weekly album charts. In August 2012, the album was certified Million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.[5]
