It's a tripe A side, 10th anniversary, non-Tsunku (equals refreshing) single. I expected more than that.
But I'm glad they release the same week as the 48 family instead of this week. What good does it have to be number 1 in such a slow week? They have more exposure being on the same chart as the 48s.

Masaki is getting so good at expressions. Japanese girls in general and H!P girls in particular have such boring facial expression. Glad to see some few exceptions.

They are doing worse than I expected. It's sad that this single doesn't seem to have good promotion. Anf it's their 10th anniversary.

I hope they can reach 80k mark. But based on their record it's more likely to be around 72k.

Morning Coffee misled me to believe that Riho was able to make her voice sound smooth. I was so wrong. The trio sounds the worse.  Maria and Akane-Meimi performance are much more tolerable. At least they have my bias. If I don't like Maria so much I may not have been able to sit through the whole th...

Ok so this is the last time I'll stray off-topic. I'm pretty sure I complain about Karin every time my posts mention her but I'm sure I don't talk about her every other post as someone says (in recent posts, maybe). And if it makes you feel any better, I talk about the girls' appearance (favorite or...

Sorry I'm one of those who like idols because of their look.  Quite superficial I guess. I tends to judge people's look and I look into it with quite a bit of details(almost like how an artist judging pictures). I know some don't like it but that's my habit. I don't do it (outloud) if I know the per...

@...Sorry I can't stop complaining about Karin because I don't like her but she always sticks out (and the way she sticks out is what her fans call "idol power". I don't want to admit it but it may be so, even though it's plenty annoying to me). it's like Masaki with some of you. You don't...

It's so obvious why Karin doesn't get in MM. Her look isn't compatible in the group, she looks out of place. I never think she was beautiful and recently her look takes a turn for the worse. Her face is too edgy compared to other girls.   Maria and Akane are so beautiful here. I like Akane when she ...

^Well I have to agree with that. Wonderful World is actually listenable though, since the girls show off very good vocal, but I can't seem to get into Ca va. How sad J=J 's songs are going downhill. Even their ace's look is going downhill.   Karin's hair is too short to even be called stylish. I act...

The preview of Middle Management and Tsugi no Kado PVs was quite promising (though not impressive) and I was so looking forward to it, but when I watched the PVs I was underwhelmed. The close-up and dance-shots don't do justice to the girl, they seem to cut out the good parts and add the inferior sh...

Masaki, Ayumi, Mizuki, Akane and Haruka look the best.
lol at Maria-chan trying to mimicking Sayumi by playing with her hair in 123. Big flop :)) She needs some eye expressions to go along with it.

Gamusha Life's melody reminds me of The girl who leapt through time ending song:

That sounds like an ending song of a Japanese drama. I like it. First an anime song (Tsugi) now a drama song. C-ute is so flexible. I can even imagine in my head this song being sung by a Japanese singer.   I didn't like Middle Management at first but after watching the PV I feel like I may even lik...

I like blue but I don't like that square shoulders. Only Yuka and Akari look good. Poor Sayuki, management must hate her so much that they make her wear that hideous ponytail all the time while all the other girls are allow to change their hairsyle (and even karin is allowed to have that ugly haircu...

First Ayumi with her pants and high heels in Cinderella Complex, now we have Airi with similar outfit in Middle Management. That manner of dressing which shows off the legs and the butt make those girls considerably more attractive.

The girls look great through my Blublocker pair of glasses. not that they are not otherwise. Through the glasses it looks like they are wearing nude makeup and it somehow looks perfect. They should try that type of makeup next time.

IMO Wada has a pretty face but her figure is just so-so. Maria has a pretty face and a beautiful bone frame.
I don't normally like Akane but she looks good here.
And Maa-chan is blossoming.
Ayumi has been looking really tired lately.

She reminds me of Rikako Inoue (Fairies).

When I look up this Uta girl on Hello wiki, I can't recognize her at all. Her before and after photos look so different. Her face is fuller now, her eyes and nostril also look different. Is it because of the lighting? Or the hairstyle? Or the eyebrow? How can the same girl look so different. But the...

Without her bang Airi's face is a bit skinny. Personally I think recently she looks a bit old without bang. I think she should let part of her bang down like she does in the lastest Hello Station episode.  On  the other hand,  Maimi looks younger WITHOUT a bang.

I was thinking how come Masaki's sitting pose at 0:51 looks so familiar. Turns out it's a Reina's pose . And she's doing it with Reina's hair style. Isn't that cheating >_<

Maria is such a goddess :woot: . Of course Maa-chan, you'll always be the apple of my eye :D   Masaki keeps on improving her performing skill. Maria is such a natural. I like this song more than the EDM one.   What do they call that type of picture where girls look like doll with big eyes and flawle...

Pyoko is 100 times better than recent songs such as 1000 people on the dance floor (whatever its name is), Password is zero, Kimi no Kawari, etc. Listening to 2 or 3 songs may be a change of pace, but listening to all their recent EDM singles makes my head hurt.

Still can't like it. I secretly hope for the sales to drop for this single and the next single so that management can stop this sound in MM songs. It's getting old and tiring and they need a new style.

I thought she wears brown contacts? Because her eyes weren't that brown during her audition.

Mizuki: Just graduate already! She never and won't ever change. Well her voice is easier to listen to than most other girls. She has somewhat pretty face. But she is as boring as a performer can be. Riho. I'm sick of her. Haruka: I just don't see her pretty. Nor do I find her voice any good. And ove...

I know now, Akane reminds me of Johnny's Yamapi, arguably good look but dead-fish eyes (and bor~ing). Maria is oozing with sexiness. Mizuki is in the outer left position (reserved for the second least popular member, outer right is for the least popular) instead of Masaki? I guess this single is exp...

Asahi sings most of the song for Bitter & Sweet's new single now? Her voice got better. I used to like Moemi's voice more because hers sounded so strained.
 
Juice=Juice looks so cute in those outfits.

Country Girls is full of exceptionally cute girls, who are cute in a natural way, unlike so many others who just act cute. Their cuteness is just overwhelming, surely the group can survive on it for a few years. I'm a bit anticipating how they'll do when they gets older though. Surely they'll be pre...
