Morning Musume's 50th Single "One•Two•Three/The Matenrou Show"

[rallyleo]

Oh, alright! I guess I can wait until then. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... joyful.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':joyful:' />



This is probably going to be the first single I basically buy every song for. I would buy a physical copy, but I don't have the money for it :(



I kind of enjoyed the "Another Dance Shot", though. Espeically for the "Aishiteru" parts. Decent camera work <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Wait, that dance shot wasn't in the PV, right? That looked a lot cooler than Glittergasma. Also, the schoolgirl outfit/element made no sense.

[Anderei]

My single came in the mail, but I'm not at the house I had it shipped to. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> If it's not out before I get there, I'll see if I can get the closeup version on youtube.

[momoirosaya]

I surprised no haｓ uploaded the TMS dance shot or leaked the CD.　And I know people got their copies yesterday, I saw a bunch of pictures.

[Anderei]

Masaki's interview from the channel is subbed.



She talks about why she auditioned, what is was like when she first joined, Kanon/Haruka, her hometown, her first tour, and her dream.

I wasn't one of those people bitching about the PV, but WHY COULDN'T WE HAVE THAT BACKGROUND?! THAT is so much better than the obvious Matenrou fuckin' throwaway curtain we ended up with!

[Anderei]

Seishundo Mannaka



It's cuuuuute. I love it.

[roddyreta]

A poster on Takamaruyo has translated some of the 2ch reports on the three separate handshake events:



"sayu+reina in nagoya

~900 people attending

~2000 cd's sold



9th gen in yokohama

~300 people attending

~800 cd's sold



10th gen in tokyo (suburbs, close to hachioji)

200~300 people attending (didn't find any good post so not sure about this one)

~800 cd's sold"



Apparently there is a 2ch thread entitled: "wouldn't it be embarrassing if they dont sell at least 100k copies when spending so much on promotion?"

[Farrah]

I don't think 100k is even a possibility. I'll be happy if we get sales like Nanchatte Renai (60k), but then again, that had a nice PV and was a better song.

[roddyreta]

I think 100K is optimistic, but I think it will probably sell well over 60K.



Renai Hunter sold nearly 50K and had a fraction of the promotion.



Also, for those who can't wait, here's a fan dance cover for the Matenrou Show.

[Farrah]

Huh, I didn't know Renai Hunter sold 50k! It was a graduation single, though. Kono Chikyuu also sold 50k, so I think the graduation aspect really helps. Momusu have been pretty much stuck at 30-40k sales for a while now.

[Noa]

Watashi no Jidai

[Anderei]

I'd be happy with 75k, if the promotion really does well.

[Haru]

So mad my CD isn't here yet. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':frown:' />

[aisasami]

I got the box set last night (for someone else, except the ticket).







Going after work for Tower Records and hopefully get my HMV copy in the mail.

[Shoujo Q]

That damn Morning Musume magazine held up my CDJapan order.

[al kusanagi]

All the various versions are on iTunes now.

[Anderei]

Mari talks about Koi no Dance Site. I knew she'd show up for this one.



Yuko talks about Happy Summer Wedding.



I wonder who will talk about I WISH, since Kago and Maki aren't around. I guess one of the other 4th gen members?

[rallyleo]

I'm downloading the single from iTunes right now. If nobody else puts it up here, I'd be more than happy to do so by tomorrow afternoon! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



EDIT:

I got antsy so I uploaded everything anyways. Hope you guys don't mind!

[zlilzlilzlil]

Amazing news!!!!!



Sells for the first day are out, the single ranked second and sold a huge number of 56139 copies!!!



that's almost doubles the pyokopyokoultra total sales!!



there is a chance for 70k and even more...

[Shoujo Q]

Morning brain took awhile to comprehend what you just said, but I managed!



Congrats to the girls and the wotas for getting the single to #2. Hope it remains steady.

[Shoujo Q]

Just a friendly reminder.



Erina's USTREAM show is today everyone!! It started for anyone around to watch it. (I'll be in chat!) But right now it's just CMs and filler crap. Officially starts in a few minutes at 9am.



I wonder if she'll show the Matenrou Show MV?

[masa]

Eripon's color will change from purple to yellow-green this autumn.

[Vikitty]

Awww she has Risa on as a guest!

[al kusanagi]

Eripon's a lying whore! She said she'd have everyone on the Ustream when she won the competition! Not the goddamned Gaki Show!!!

[momoirosaya]

I like purple for Eripon but I think it's cute that she'll take over Gaki's color!

But I'm so sad because I accidentally turned of my alarm and slept through the ustream... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />

I hope someone uploads it later.



And I'm so glad to hear about the awesome sales! Oricon also doesn't count those sales from that night since they update at like 7 or 8 pm, I think they can easily reach 70k!

[tsukinobyouin]

Aww I'm glad Eripon gets to take over Gaki's color. I wish they'd also change Kanon to purple, especially since she was close to Aika, but I'm guessing they'll give it to 11th gen.



I bundled my copy of the single with two other things on CD Japan so mine won't ship for another week :( Regretting that now, arg. But at least I can get the rest of the songs on iTunes. I'm really surprised by how good the 10th gen sounds in their song. Even Haruna sounds good! Her voice is so much deeper when she sings than when she talks, it throws me off. I like that they have a lot of diversity of sound as a generation. It's really disappointing that Tsunku/UFA/whoever isn't taking advantage of this in the singles.

[mrsross]

Erina needs to keep her color or unless they need to change her color, give her another color like yellow or something. There's too many greens in the group.

That's stupid.

Purple is cool.

[Shoujo Q]

If they add the new Musume girls at the end of the H!P tour, there could be a major color change in the works for the Fall Morning Musume tour so I don't see this as a problem if other members are also going to be changing colors.



I sort of feel bad for the 9th and 10th gen because they were just being given left over colors. Except for Haruna, poor girl. That's bottom of the barrel right there.



iTunes Japan is offering a 4,000 yen Complete Singles pack. I have no idea why anyone would buy it though.



And now you can watch the Girls Award performance in HD! Yay~ I can see their pores! (Not really, I'm blind.)
