I forgot the time, is it usually around 5PM in Japan that the numbers are out? 7PM?

[DARC1993]

Isn't it 8?

today is really key. today is pre-release day where the stores start selling the single a day early. its also key for online pre-orders and the boxsets because they will play a major part on the first day on Oricon. it will impact the rest of the week.

Morning Musume is ranked #2 overall at all Tower Records single store charts for pre-release day 8/27. K-POP boy group B1A4 is #1.

I thought it was pretty obvious it was Riho.
She has been labeled her rival since the beginning

Actually the media labeled Kuduu as Riho's rival in the begining. Right after 10gen joined, Kuduu and Riho appeared on UTB. Rmember the pics of them wearing boxing gloves - I can't find the pics to post here.

From UTB

Later after the kurobara episode where Riho and Ishida became the dance machine duo, thats when the Riho and Ishida rivalry become a topic.

How I wish they'd set up a stream for it...

[Sohee]

Yes it's obviously... "wrong" and doesn't match and they should fix it.
But man it goes so well with Ayumi's lame character.
