If you click on the button to the left of the settings button, then click on the white characters to the right of "1080P" (超清), and then click on the blue button it'll be in 720P.

Love take it all is so perfect I can't even think right now.  Love the song and really for an mv all I need is for the girls to look amazing and they do!  Maimai just keeps getting prettier.

They all do!

What gets me, is the effort that they always put into C-ute for their releases. C-ute gets fairly Okay covers, flattering outfits and fairly creative MVs. With Berryz Koubou, UFP is like "screw them" on everything.
 
Overall, I liked this Love Takes it all's song more, but I liked Kokoro no Sakebi's MV more. They did a good job styling the girls too. Maimai looked really good.

[momoirosaya]

Oh gosh I love Love take it all. This I probably my favorite single since Kiss me (not that they haven't had some great songs in-between.) Only thing is the Love take it all PV is kind if boring, but whatever.

[NekoKaiSai]

I think they give the dancier song the simple PV intentionally.  Though I didn't notice until now that in the solo shots the lights in the background are their respective member color.

I always hope that C-ute can sell to general public as well, not just fan. If they want so, they should really upgrade their MV. The public want to see something fun and creative in the MV, unlike fans like us, who are satisfied with just looking at the girls and their awesomeness.
I am happy that Nakky finally got some GOOD solo lines (and Mai as well). Normally, usually Airi (sometimes Chisato or Maimi) takes all good solo lines and the other girls get boring, unimportant solo lines.
Airi's first high note (about a simple kiss or something like that) sounds great. But her next high note (translated as: No one has ever gone through...) sounds really awkward.
Do I even have to say goddess Maimi is gorgeous and flawless?

I like the dance shot versions the most.  °C-ute has become know for their near flawless precision dance routines.  You can compare different performances of the same dance and the Fabulous Five nail it every time.
 
I agree with you about Nacky.  I have been frustrated about how she has gotten the least face time during her solos...  Especially during live concert videos.   There are times her solo/face shot was like an after-thought, but it happened too often to be random.
 
Last year she stated in her blog they had her take voice lessons.  She had the right attitude about it.  A great team player!  It looks like it has paid off for her and Team °C-ute.

You know you've made it to the big times once fans start making 8-bit versions of your songs.

There's a bunch of other songs 8-bit on the channel too!  I absolutely adore the way they sound:)

Sweet!

I like the song, but does "Love takes it all" even have any meaning? English is not my native language so it is kinda hard to grasp the meaning. I know and understand the phrase "The winner takes it all", but "love takes it all"?
Also, Chisa's version of Kokoro.

I wonder if other girls have a solo version as well (I really look forward to it). It will be badass if Love take it all has solo versions as well

[Anderei]

It would make sense if it were "Love, take it all" but without it it doesn't make any sense to me either. I think Tsunku just pulled out the good ol' thesaurus.

37,147 first day sales, a bit disappointing comparing to the last single. Not enough promotions maybe? Because the songs are great!
But perhaps because of the shitty Love take it all MV

That put them in second place didn't it?   I think first place sold over 100,000. 

 

[Anderei]

Down to #7 today.

[Shoujo Q]

#1 today. (sorry for the google translate, but I have it automatically on when going to Japanese pages.)
 

 
Last time they had a #1 during the week was with SHOCK! in 2010 and the total sales that week were, 18,665. (They ranked 5th for the week.)

[sheikhyerbutay]

Q beat me to it!  Haha!   °C-ute's Fabulous Five are #1!!  http://www.tnsori.com/archives/52003160.html
 
This week's total 61,350 thus far!  Yea! 

[smtmissin]

I think the rise in sales is thank to their appearance on Music Japan. Whatever, C-ute needs more promotion. If they ever reach 100,000 sales I will cry tears of happiness.

[smtmissin]

I can't believe this single sells less than their last single. Love take it all can rival Kiss me Aishiteru which I believe to be their best single.

I don't know what to say.  Speechless.


 

[Anderei]

It's only 2k less, isn't it? Just be glad their momentum just came to a halt for a single rather than them seeing a huge decrease, which has happened to them once before.

Sorry rantings happens when you expect too much of something. I was too in love with "Love take it all", that's all :(

 

[sheikhyerbutay]

I look at it from the bright side.  They finished the week at #2.  This forum predicted #3 for °C-ute in a tuff release week, so, #2 ain't so bad after all.  http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/w/2014-03-17/
 
Hopefully with a Reebok promos they will get more record sales out there next time.
 
Here is another promo from Up Front Link:

[Shoujo Q]

You know, with all the people that released the week C-ute released, I was expecting them to rank much lower. I'm very happy that they managed to cap the first week off at #2. And to be all honest with you all, it's not the first week you need to care about, it's the overall performance of the single. If it can become their best selling single overall, that's a mark of improvement I want.

[Anderei]

Nah, there was no way they'd rank super low. Maeda sells less with every new single, and that Exile guy was bound to see a drop too. Neither of them could compete with the numbers that handshakes and photo ops bring in.
 
I don't think it'll be their best selling ever, though. Their weeks following the first aren't that great.
