[2016.04.27] ANGERME - Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku / Itoshima Distance / Koi nara Tokku ni Hajimatteru

[Meikochi]

Taiki Bansei sold 27k the 1st day and Nana Korobi sold 28k so it's their best first day.

(Boxes didn't count for Desugita's first day so it had a low first day (15k but 3rd day at 14k as well).

Rina and Take can leave and the the group will be perfect.</blockquote>

Touche!


But wow poor Rina no love there, from any of us.

Yoooo guys... They posted <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIPNOYh3enM' class="bbc_url" title="External link">this</a> 360 degree Tsugitsugi dance clip. So awesome!!</blockquote>


I'm confused. I thought it'd be a camera moving all around them but I don't get the purpose of this.</blockquote>


Rina's funny but I don't like her voice. If all of her and Rikako's lines would go to other people, all the songs would be perfect.

[JoshuaJSlone]

The single had a 10K second day, meaning this is already their best first week with four days still to go.
 
And that 360 video is incredibly up my alley, having a VR headset. I downloaded the video file, loaded it in a player called Whirligig, toyed with the settings until I found the right setting ("Barrel"), and there it went. Morning Musume did some similar videos for their PS2 "game", though it was like recording on a big cylinder rather than a sphere. I did start to wonder where Maho was, because she's the only one I had to turn all the way around to find.

Whaaat, Rikako is an angel and can sing her one-liners any time for me. She only seems to get one solo line a song, so maybe I just don't notice her voice if she has more, lol.

[JPope]

Rikako is a fine singer, IMO. I like her voice.

They're both way too nasally imo. Their lines in Itoshima sound terrible. Not saying they're technically bad, but unpleasant sounding. I hope neither never becomes a consistent lead.

These 3 are rocking it. Wish I could hear their solo versions of the song.

[Anderei]

Akari was great, I really enjoyed watching hers.

[MejraThea]

Take. 

[TicTacAnyone]

Damn they had Takeuchi doin all the work, man. What a boss.

[Mugi]

Watching them record each part separately has made the song even better for me.  Seeing how each small backing part gets made is really cool!

[JoshuaJSlone]

Whatever they sold on lower-ranking Thursday and Friday will add a little more, but we know for sure that through Sunday they've passed 50K for the first time.

[Anderei]

Billboard Japan is reporting 59,000 copies.

[momoirosaya]

TsugiTsugi is such a good song, They deserve this!

[JPope]

They've officially climbed into C-ute territory with these numbers. I can't wait for their next single, even though I know the likelihood of it being as good as this one is slim. They're due for a disappointing single, but the hope of matching a great single is so much more fun than the hope of bouncing back from a clunker.

[Anderei]

Oricon has them at 2 with 53k.
 

 
This being a double special occasion single that they started promoting pretty early means I'm not gonna get my hopes up and start believing 50k is gonna be the norm though.

[TicTacAnyone]

They released another 360 video of TsugiTsugi, this time starting off whispering "tsugitsugi zokuzoku". And not to ruin the surprise, but there's a loud scare towards the end of the video meant to make your heart race (referring to the lyrics.)

[Meikochi]

I take these videos as sort of dance shots replacement.

Spoiler: [+]

I hate scary things but it was nicely found from staff. I was looking at Take/Rikako/Ayacho so I only saw them running at first. I wasn't expecting that scary thing at all when I turned my phone.

[MejraThea]

It would have been worse if they had used the actual face rather than that differently painted on one, but not ok.

[Noa]

Is there a special way to make them 360? Cause it just looks like a regular video

Look at it on a mobile device and then turn the phone around you in circle

[Elpis]

I definitely wasn't expecting a scare like that at the end. I never really thought that H!P would do something like that. It's a clever video though.

[Noa]

I am on a mobile device but there's no movement. It's just all of them standing in a line

[kira]

Is your app up to date?


On my tablet I can move the camera around with my finger; I haven't tried moving the device around.

[Noa]

Do I have to watch it in the app? I opened it in web

[Anderei]

I watched it on my computer. In the corner it lets you move the screen around.

I think the moving it around with your finger/moving the device around will only work with the app but what Anderei mentioned also works, not sure if that would work on web on your phone though...

[showraniy]

On my computer, there's arrows in the upper left corner of the video that allow you to move the camera around.
