It looks like H!P as a whole is ditching b-sides for now.

Could somebody give me a link to the song in the Canadian iTunes store. I can't find it at all, just the mv T.T

We're all spoiled- double a-sides are like a single + a glorified b-side.
Up until Renai Hunter you got about 3 songs per single max.

I'm happy for them and I think, if nothing else, Egao deserves the honor. The others as a package are underproduced afterthoughts. At least reward a good MV and dance through Egao even if y'all don't like the song.

The name change didn't confuse the people in the end... but I find it pretty stupid that this is MM's 55th single and yet there's nowhere to be found under the name of MM.
Re: [2014.01.29] Morning Musume - Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE? (single)
That's honestly why I looked it up by name first. Because I knew they were going to try and pull this shit.
♥ Kaori • Risako ♥
♥ Sakura • Kananan • Sayuki ♥
Re: [2014.01.29] Morning Musume - Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE? (single)
I couldn't find it at first, then I just looked up, What Is Love? and scrolled down till I found the Musume song and went from there.
This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.

^Basically, Harunan and Erina are afraid of Mikitty hahahahaha
Apparently there's no one that scolds/is scary like she used to be in the group currently? XD

Elaborating on this....
They talk about their dance lessons, and Mikitty says that she would be impatient if other members couldn't remember and want to move on, but Sayu says now they are all friendly and help each other.
Erina says she's afraid of Mikitty because she is known for being mean/scary. Erina suggests they talk more so that the scariness will go away.
Harunan says that Mikitty was trying to teach her how to be "poisonous" (mean basically). And Harunan refused since her image is an idol who praises/flatters everyone.
I'll add that the funniest thing that happened is when Sayu said she texted Mikitty if she knew how many members were in MM. Mikitty replied with "Is there someone named Kimura-san?" And Sayu goes on to say that there is not a Kimura in MM, nor has there ever been one. Mikitty also says that there also seems to be no one named Kimura in the entirety of Hello! Project.

I thought that it was funny that Sayu gave her a CD with all the member's name on the front XD
And that Mikitty made sure to say "I know these guys' names..... Cause I'm working with them today" lol

Sorry by entirety, I meant current H!P only. I should've been more specific.

It makes my head explode whenever I try to browse the Oricon site and find any information there, but it seems the single is down to 4 as of yesterday?

It is at 4 today.

And since they are not in the top 3, they don't show how many they sold. We do know it's fewer than 7,935, though.

When they sell so much the first day, I just worry that sales will tank afterwards :( I hope they get their Weekly #1.
Re: [2014.01.29] Morning Musume - Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE? (single)
They sold over 100,000 more than the #2 yesterday. I wouldn't worry about this little dip at all.

The bulk of their sales nowadays are mostly pre-orders. They do always tank after day one but as long as they're far enough ahead of the competition it's not too important.

This single will probably fall short of Joke/Gundan's overall sales unless the Olympics can spur sales later.

I don't think they're going to be doing any more Olympics promotion. That performance at the end of the ceremony they were guests at was it, I think.

Re: [2014.01.29] Morning Musume - Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE? (single)
I was thinking more organically than via Olympic-specific promotion. Like if Japan does well, maybe the song will get more airplay or used more often on TV or something.

I think it'll outsell Wagamama. A lot of people, like students and casual fans, will probably buy the single over the weekend.
Also the stock has been low the 2nd day for MM's past few singles (including this one).

Ah, that explains it. I just wish Oricon would make all their data available in some simple text-only charts, or even better CSV. It's frustrating, especially trying to find historical data.

I wouldn't call 119k down to under 7k a little dip. Though I don't think there's too much fear about their weekly #1.

Ahaha I was referring to the dip in rank; not actual copies sold. I wouldn't worry about the dip from #1 to #4 because I'm quite sure they're actual sales for both days are still the highest.

I didn't know there was a low stock situation with this one. I remember last time they had a surge of over 20K on like the fourth day due to restocking, so maybe that will happen again.

Wow, MM destroyed. And frankly, I'm surprised at Namie's sales, but I think she's been pushing digital big time (plus two of the songs already released digitally). It's truly a big thing to be able to say MM sold 10x Namie Amuro (who is resurging and is seeing a marginal uptick in single sales) on same-week debuts.
