Those heels~ I can already see the shiny glossy paper on the Regular Edition.
It better be glossy! None of that matte finish crap.

I could kill to have those legs and thighs (Maimi's).
Maimai's dress is quite nice. And those eye make-ups are perfect on her. Nakky's dress is not very flattering but she managed to work it.

Now I all I want is C-ute to model for an editorial in a fashion mag, then I can die happy.

Holy crap, that looks more fit for K-Pop, because it's all sexy looking, but damn, the C-ute girls completely rocked it.

They all look mature and stylish but in a different era, and I love it.

I kind of really hate Chisato's shoes.  And that big ruffle on MaiMai's dress.

If Mai could ditch the ruffle everything would be perfect.
But am I the only one who finds the irony in having super sexy mega beautiful WOW...and the opening song is about ham and cheese bagels? :whatthe:

They're supposed to be models, the only time anything bagel related will be near their mouths is if they sing about bagels..
 
It totally works.
 
I am pleasantly surprised that the cover art turned out to be even more impressive up close.
 
I hope they recycle these outfits like they did for MM's Fantasy! 11 cover & Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game's PV.
These need to be seen in action, and more than just album cover photoshoot footage.

These are pretty much my favorite covers ever. I hope the content is equally awesome. I'm especially interested in Tadori Tsuita Onna Senshi.

Ham and Cheese MV was on Hello Station, the song is rather blah but the MV is kinda cute. Heh!


Here is the link, the MV is the first thing.

I just realized how weird the one with Nakky squatting is.
 
And yeah...I know idols dance in ridiculous shoes, but my ankles break just thinking about Chisato dancing in those wedges.

Those covers are quite glamorous. Why can't they look like that in their photobooks?
 
(I know, I know, because the filthy wotas clamor for bikini shots. This is why I don't buy photobooks. Although Sayumingland was pretty awesome.)

Maimi's last PB, "My Museum," was almost on the same level as Sayu's. Maimi designed the layout for it herself.

My initial excitement from the covers subsided immediately with the release of that music video.

I don't care much for Maimi, but I bought it just for that reason. I'd love for Airi to do something like Maimi did.

The MV was better than I expected it to be. It reminds me sort of like older C-ute.

This album sounds pretty solid from the previews on iTunes. Track 10 sounds like it was supposed to be Country Musume. The song I like the least is Bagels.

The album debuted at #5 today :)
<a href="http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ja/d/2013- ... -09-03/</a>
 
#3 sold 16,074 copies so C-ute probably sold around 10,000 :)

The estimate is that they sold around 5,400, which sounds about more right. Normally only the first two or three people on the album chart have larger numbers and then you see big drops from there on.

How does preordering on itunes work?
 
I preordered their album, and it says purchased, but I don't have the files anywhere?

I think you have to go to the album itself and you can download everything.

Sorry I forgot to update my post. 
 
You're right because the album that charted at #4 was actually released on the 3rd and sold about 11,000 copies.

This is their best ranking ever, the best so far was the third which ranked 10...
 
It's also the first time since the 4th album that they sale more then 10000 copies (not counting the best album they had last year).

As far as H!P album sales go I'm OK with this :) I was hoping for a few K more but I'm happy that these sales are higher than that of their past few albums :)
