Wow, their first daily number 1 I suppose?

[Starra]

Since it's their major debut single, yep!

[questorminator]

....oh....right.


Now that was embarrasing.

[Celedam]

Geez, how slow is this week for 10K to get a first day #1?

Good for them, but still, that's a fluke.

[Denki]

Well, the DID chose a week with a buch of anime/game related singles....

Well, congrats to them.

Also, behold the power of the idol makeover. From this…

Fujishiro Arisa (藤白愛里紗)
Ameblo
Her nickname is "Aririn" (ありりん)
She likes Hello! Project (mentioned about C-ute, Berryz Koubou)

…to this…

To be fair, she looks okay in her Ameblo pictures. Maybe just that screenshot is weird. The point is that the idol makeover can be subtle but effective. And after rewatching her introduction in the last episode of TsunTube, she's very energetic and outgoing for a newbie. There is potential here.

Congrats to Bukustanda for getting no.1 daily on Oricon for their debut single. Even if its a fluke, its going to be historical when they look back at it several years from now.
