Ai no Morning Musume's 54th Single Thread!

[pandapanda]

Whenever I am talking to Japanese women, they ask how I learned Japanese, and I always tell them I am a huge MM fan, and they get all nostalgic and excited 
 

[ShiroiChanUK]

I wish my copies would get here already! I suppose it's my own fault for paying for standard shipping but come on!

[Mugi]

I got my copy... didn't get a poster... and I think I just erased my dvd... ... ...
 
Wow

[Shoujo Q]

How do you erase a DVD? o-o;

I put it in my computer but it didn't start so I tried to start it.  It now reads like it's blank, I don't know what happened.

Maybe your computer doesn't recognize the region or something? Have you played other H!P related DVDs in there before?

[Mugi]

Yea I have and they all worked before this one.

[arcobaleno]

Hrm, I guess it must a faulty DVD? The only way of erasing DVDs that I know of is to actually manually click on "erase."
 
Is there a way to send it back and exchange it? If that DVD would work, then it must've been a faulty DVD.

Soundscan numbers for each version (covers fewer stores than Oricon + doesn't include sales from agency-owned or label-owned stores but it's cool to see which editions sold the best):
LE A - 9,984
Regular A - 9,209
Regular B - 8,580
LE C - 7,903
LE B - 7,338
Other editions weren't included on their chart.

I've never had that issue before so it sounds like the DVD is faulty. Do you have a games console or other devices you could test the DVD in?
 
EDIT:
MoMusu will perform on todays Music Japan which starts in 1 minute :)

You can watch the show for free by downloading KeyHoleTV unless you live in Japan in which case you won't need it :)

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">Gone is the Morning Musume。 you once knew.
We’ll improve both ourselves and idol world.
It’s an evolution resulted from 16 years long process, not the change that happens abruptly.
10 girls who met by chance to become the 10 girls of destiny.
We won’t give up on becoming the cutest and the coolest.
We’ve become strong enough to carry everyone’s expectation.
The girls who admire that era, are now trying their best to surpass it.
We’ll always stand up no matter what, both in life and idol world.
To stay freshest.
To be the best.
To be the most beloved.
It’s still way too early to decide if we’re finally back to our finest time yet.
Shall we go, then?</blockquote>
Those little videos must be the best PR campaign they had since the 50k single challenge.

[Anderei]

It's a shame they're not on tv or something, versus Youtube.

[Shoujo Q]

Mornining Musume learn they go to Budokan and sing a few songs from their release event.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... g78">Video Here</a>
 
The fact I knew they were going to Budokan a week before they were going to Budokan either means, they keep the girls locked in closets during the day, or they've mastered the act of being surprised.
 
 

[Trinu]

But, but, but... the only one who hasn't performed ther is Sakura, right? All the others have lol
 
I guess it's important because they're not going to say goodbye to another member (Risa, Aika, Takahashi...), but to celebrate their success.
Here's hoping their next tour ends up in Yokohama Arena or something bigger. ^^

[al kusanagi]

Who wants to bet that that was supposed to be a second Berryz Budokan date just like C-ute had one added to theirs, but no one gives enough of a fuck about Berryz to even manage one Budokan concert, so MM got slotted in to make up for the wasted day.

[Noa]

Oh my god can we get over the Berryz Budokan bashing already? It wasn't funny the first time and it still isn't.
