[2015.02.04] ANGERME - Taiki Bansei / Otome no Gyakushuu

[al kusanagi]

Was it written by someone else? A lot of non-Tsunku HP songs don't get added to international itunes.

[Anderei]

Both songs were. But Takui is with Up-Front, and the arranger isn't new to the company either, so I doubt that has anything to do with it.

[yuzuriha]

This is seriously dumb.  While I was about to buy a digital copy of the single, I am now probably just going to download and not buy it, because I do not have anymore room for anymore damn CDs in my apartment or my old bedroom.  ;_;

Someone was saying earlier how there was less of Kanon in this single, well you can hear her say for yourself how frustrated she was that she lost her solo parts.
 
 

[TicTacAnyone]

Meimei is an angel... One of her comments when she was crying "All these people came out to see ANGERME... We'll become a group that is really loved." 
 
Meanwhile, Kanon... >.> like Saya said--"We can now break into 3 groups of 3 when dancing... But it's really irritating that I lost solo parts."

They were number one yesterday with 4,496 copies sold.  Which means total official sales are 42,118, making this their best selling single!

[Anderei]

Ugh, y'all have no idea how happy this makes me (well some of you probably do). I really want UFP to keep promoting them. Everyone got so much to do this single.

[kira]

I wish they'd gotten more performances, I was seriously sad they didn't perform on MJ.
 
But I'm so glad they sold well. Hopefully it continues.

[Anderei]

There's a performance coming up but it's not Music Japan.

[JPope]

I'm happy for them. This is a great single, and I was pulling for it to sell well. I was never much of a S/mileage fan, but this single and Rikako have made me an ANGERME fan.
 

[NekoKaiSai]

They got weekly #2 with 43,104 copies sold.  #1 was a Johnny's group.

[Noa]

That's so good! I'm so happy for them!

[arcobaleno]

I keep forgetting to say this, but I'm also so happy for them! I absolutely am loving ANGERME so far, and Taiki Bansei is the first (new) single I've ordered in....... 2 years. Whoa.

Really nice performance. Mizuki's definitely getting better at singing her big line. 

[TicTacAnyone]

Takeuchi makes comments about how 2ki is still pushed to the back.... Even giving us the great quote of: "Even in interviews, they'll question the 1st gen, then the 3rd gen, then they'll say 'anyone in the back got anything to say?'" Brilliant. 

[momoirosaya]

She said they're pushed to the back now that 3rd gen has joined. Also that the number of solos for everyone has gone down.

[Anderei]

Her being the 2nd member to mention the line things makes me feel like they're REALLY not happy about that. Not that I blame them. It's just one single so far but they're all still used to getting a lot more.

[TicTacAnyone]

Accidentally put 2nd gen instead of 3rd gen in the quote, edited to fix. But yeah, they say they all get along but I bet there's a bit of tension between some of the girls lol

Rikako and Mizuki are great performers. I hope it will inspire some other girls to put more energy in their lives.

Takechan is priceless.
