The Tower Records poster is so tragic I can't even deal.

What's really tragic is that's one of the single covers.

Still not enough lens flare.

[yuzuriha]

Ok so I am playing New Super Mario Bros U and Mario's all "Have a good time" or something and I'm like...where have I heard that before recently.



OH YEAH. MIYABI.

[Miss Moonlight]

HQ covers are out. Is Limited A the worst cover ever? A, B (also the Tower Records poster), and Regular are all pretty scary.

[yuzuriha]

Miya looks seriously derpy in all of these.

[Mugi]

I love Risako's hair so much in these covers.

[NekoKaiSai]

I like Limited C and D(because of the blue).

[rallyleo]

Limited D is the only one that is remotely passable.



I'm also going to do the obligatory "WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE THEM POSE FOR A PICTURE TOGETHER INSTEAD OF SHOPPING THEM"

[Kalle]

So apparently this single is going to be used as the theme to the new Pretty Cure crossover movie. Man, how long has it been between now and Gag 100kaibun?

9 Years by Berryz standards, 8 by human standards.

It feels longer though. >8| Or maybe I've just been in both fandoms for more than I should be...

[MiniLovely]

The poster/ Ltd. B:



Momoko looks like an alien.

Maasa looks like a member of the PTA.

Captain should go be on Full House.



Also, down with the naysayers, 'cause Miya is ROCKING that Minnie Mouse hair.

[yuzuriha]

Momoko always looks like an alien.



Haha holy shit I didn't realize how horrible Maasa's VELOUR BLAZER was the first time but yes, totally PTA.

[Shoujo Q]

Berryz are in Thailand right now for the H!P world handshake event and they were on a morning show where they performed a bit of I Like a Picnic. Then all sorts of awkwardness after that.

Is that show really named that? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

There's this too? Berryz on Tiangbanterng

[Pucchi-Mo]

Limited C for the win. I mean, Yurina for the block? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Momoko looks like a 5 year old who got caught drawing on the wall by her parents. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



Miyabi looks like a praying mantis in Limited A. Did they mess with the proportions of that image?



This is so sad. I wish they would just make minimal covers that don't rely on stupid effects. Hell if they're going to be that lazy, make covers without photos of the girls. Just put a damn outlined map of Asia on a black background. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />



Take AEUG's reaction to MM's new single, and multiply it by the mass of Jupiter.



Nope. Not even close to the degree of hate I have for covers A, B, Regular, and the individual or team who approved of those as printable cover designs.

[Anderei]

This debuted at number 5, and number 3 sold 28,861 copies. So, I'm kind of hopeful for a pretty nice first week? There's more upcoming promo throughout the week too.

[yuzuriha]

That's not bad. I'm still not buying it though. :(

[al kusanagi]

It's on US iTunes, so I grabbed it.

[Shoujo Q]

Those most uninteresting girl in the world, finally does something interesting besides have color changing hair. Good job Risako!

[Anderei]

Ranked 8 with 28,218 copies sold.

Actually that's quite impressive. That's more than the total sales of C-ute's Kono Machi.



Also, my understanding is that Berryz doesn't use the same incentives the drive Momusu and C-ute's sales upward (i.e. box sets or individual handshake tickets).

Which was half the sales of C-ute's previous single IIRC.



What ALL H!P groups need is momentum, it's clear that great songs sell more, there are thousands of people who WILL buy H!P cds if the song is good enough, look at the difference in sales between 1,2,3 - wakuteka and help me, it's rather interesting.

There were events for this single. Kono Machi was the single that didn't have much promo to go with it.
