Am I the only one wondering why they gave lines to Harunan (I mean, not only one like Erina) ? I just feel Sakura has been holding back from being main center (always behind Riho) because of the lines they give to hopeless members in singing, which she could have sung.
Also, after seeing Ima Sugu in live, I'm still 50:50 about Masaki's live singing. She can sound nice as well as "baby-like". (Harunan and Erina sounded as usual..)

This single sold 26k more than Seishun/Yuugure's first day.</blockquote>
Happy for their #1 again, but still bummed Tiki Bun/etc/etc didn't get it because Sayumi.
I listened to the single a few time already but I'm not feeling it at all.

Down to 5 today. 3 sold 9k. The man who was 2 yesterday moved up to 1 and sold 19.4k. He's probably going to chart high all week.

Which means low chances for a 1st on weekly ranking... Too bad but at least, they should sell well.

Or it means stock was low the second day and it will go up again once the stores have more in. We've seen this pattern before. They've also been doing nationwide handshake events for the last couple of day, so that will add some sales.

Is there president for such a low Day 2 total following a 100K+ first day?

Like I said, before they've had big first day sales and tiny second day ones because it literally sold too well on the first day and a lot of stores burned through their stock, then the sales would pick up later in the week when the CD was back on the shelves.

Before, they sold out so fast that they hadn't prepared for it so the second day sales suffered.

They went back up to #1 with around 11k sales, so it looks like it was primarily a stock thing.

People were saying that yesterday they went to go buy the single in stores and it was sold out, so definitely stock.
This is typical though.
In terms of total sales Fukuyama is #1 right now by around 5k more I think.

So right now I'm taking the liberty of guessing they've hit around 130k in 3 days..
day #1--114,000,
day #2--(unknown, if 3 was 9k I'd guess 5 is 5k?) 5k,
day #3--10,800.
Sooo guestimating 130k. With 4 days left in the week, it's got the potential to be the highest selling single of the week of recent times, if it tops 149k (Egao no Kimi).

MM on Girls Pop
Talk+Sukatto minus Riho(who was sick)
The talk segment was really funny, I wish it had been longer. Mizuki took over Riho's solo lines, and I can't tell if Harunan's duets with Riho have all become solos or if someone else is singing with her. They only show her singing, but I feel like i hear someone else... it might just be the harmonies on the track though.

Are physical CDs little more than collectors items these days? How many people actually use them to listen to the music anymore? The CD slot on my in-dash head unit is nothing more than a mount for my cell phone holder. Am I the exception or the rule?

Digital is definitely on the rise even in Japan, imo. But idols usually don't do well on those charts so they need to the exposure that charting high on Oricon gives them and physical sales are the way to go for that.
You'll see copies of singles going for super cheap after the week is over. Lots of people definitely just collect them or buy them for charts. I usually rip mine and put them on a device. They're really just for show.

You can tell the public that she won't sing on the song, but she still does! That is, Riho Oh my wish! harmonies.

Re: [2015.08.19] Morning Musume.'15 - Oh my wish! / SUKAtto My Heart / Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki
There was an interesting topic on the NHK show "Close Up Gendai" (think of ABC's "Nightline" in the US) about a month ago that touched on the issue. Of course, they were talking about the debate about "digital vs. hard copy" and the state of the Japanese music industry due to Taylor Swift criticizing Apple for the Apple Music program. Usually, an artist gets only like 100 yen for each physical single sold as 90% of the single's cost goes to the production. But, the intake gets smaller with digital sales as they are cheaper in price, thus the artist only makes 10 yen or less per song sold. Even waaaay less for streaming sites like LINE music.
Like Taylor Swift's sediments in her open letter to Apple, the music industry here feels the same way. Japanese society is built on the idea that everyone is equal. And the music industry believes that no one is treated equally with digital sales. Even though Chakuuta, LINE music, AWA, and iTunes Music exists, the Japanese music industry will say it's ok because that is the popular trend among the public. But, it doesn't mean they will admit that they like those services.
The solution that the music industry came up is having various events. There is a looooooooooooot of free lives and in store events that promote an artist's new single or album here in Nagoya. I go to like four or five every week. Every event I went to had atleast a handshake event, a photo/cheki session, signature sessions, one coin concerts, and/or other things. But, you have to buy a certain number of singles to get that special bonus. There is an unlimited number of tickets you can have for an event. I saw one guy hold about nine tickets on Thursday for MM.'s new single handshake event (one is never enough for an H!P event because they push you through the line quickly). However, this what the music industry wants in order to get fair treatment for all.
Here is the story from July 7's "Close Up Gendai" that talks about the issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1QoP4l2fmM
Sorry there are no subs.
Even though I bought two versions of the new Morning Musume single, I have no regrets. They will sit on my bookcase and collect dust until the day I rarely use them. But, it's ok because I like collecting CDs. Most importantly, I will always cherish the time when I was able to shake the hands of Mizuki, Ayumi, Haruka Iikubo, Akane, and Miki. And, that Mizuki said liked my Hayao Miyazaki shirt and Miki liked my My Little Pony shirt.

Yeah, the singles that had songs that didn't make it onto US iTunes I've generally been able to find on eBay for a couple bucks (plus shipping) very shortly after release.
I do enjoy seeing things like the extended credits for songs beyond lyricist/composer/arranger, but that's surely a pretty narrow area of interest.

I like to look at CD's and play them in my car. But I've stopped buying the versions with DVD's because they're online. But I only buy CD's once ins while.

Re: [2015.08.19] Morning Musume.'15 - Oh my wish! / SUKAtto My Heart / Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki
I generally only buy albums. H!P are the only company where I still buy singles and I only either buy a box set or a regular edition. I like the trading cards and I like having hard copies. Box sets I'll only get if I like the music videos enough. For this single. I got the box set. I liked 2 out of 3 of the music videos and I liked all 3 songs.
While I DO rip all my music and put it all on external hard drives, I find I like having that secure backup. I'm in that case right now. My computer died again and my entire memory was wiped but I'm at a state where I can't put any of my music back on or it will happen again. So I've got to wait to buy a new computer. Of course my CD drive is also busted now. So now I'm sort of in limbo right now, using my blu-ray player to play my CDs while I manage to throw enough money together so I can get a new computer.
If it's a group I don't really care about the song, i'll buy it used and wait till I can find it pretty cheaply or someones just giving it away. Or, I just wait for the album. :D (I do this for AKB48 and NMB48)

I generally buy things used except when something is cheaper to buy new (which has happened a couple of times). I usually buy albums and they've generally been released at least a few years ago. I also only buy CDs when iTunes doesn't have what I'm looking for.

I buy a single if I like it enough (mostly MM, started from TIKI BUN, skipped Seishun). I play CDs in my car often, so I get great use out of it. For TIKI BUN I grabbed two copies to support Sayu's grad; one for the car, one still wrapped in case I want to sell it down the line. Through a mix-up, I'm buying two of this single and will likely do the same thing. Boyfriend got me a copy of Motto Zutto/Rock Erotic/I'm So Cool, and I play that a lot in the car, too.
But I'm a person who buys goods way more than pictures. I'd rather pay $17 for a CD 2-3 times a year than $2-10+ for photos constantly/often. This is also why I buy shirts, not photos. I get so much use of out my H!P shirts, like my CDs.

Back up to #3 today, with 3k. I think they will lose to I am a HERO, but they're staying somewhat relevant all week. They have another TV appearance coming up sometime this week, I think? They've already been on multiple shows to promote this single, which I think helps.
Re: [2015.08.19] Morning Musume.'15 - Oh my wish! / SUKAtto My Heart / Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki
They're doing Music Station on Friday, but that's after first-week sales come out.
Re: [2015.08.19] Morning Musume.'15 - Oh my wish! / SUKAtto My Heart / Ima Sugu Tobikomu Yuuki
They got #2 for the week with 141,000 sold.
