Koko ni Ita Koto (ここにいたこと, "We Were Here") is the debut studio album (third overall) by the Japanese idol girl group AKB48.[1][2] "Koko ni Ita Koto" was released in Japan on June 8, 2011, by King Records. There are three versions available: Limited Edition (catalog number KIZC-90117/8), Regular Edition (KIZC-117/8), and Theater Edition (NKCD-6546).
While all the group's albums had been almost entirely collections of previously released material, "Koko ni Ita Koto" took a different approach. Although it featured four 2010 hits, one theatre stage song, and a theme from an early 2011 movie, the rest were new songs.[3][4]
It met with great commercial success, topping the Oricon Weekly Albums Chart[5] and, with just one week of sales, placed second in the list of best selling albums of the first half of 2011 in Japan.[6] In the same month, it was already certified Million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipments of over one million copies.[7] The IFPI ranked it as the 42nd best-selling album worldwide in 2011.[8]
