Omg, my hopes are really high now that our girls and subforum are getting popular enough to warrant trolls this is going to be a really good year for H!P

[danzarely]

I honestly don't know what to say right now.

I've been in this fandom for 10 years and this is honestly the most exciting time to be a Morning Musume fan.

Factual.

I wonder if it's the girls, the fact that idol groups are "cool" again, the promo, or luck? Bc honestly I think Platinum era had much better songs, ya know?

I feel now the girls really deserve to be in Kotaku

That's easy. They even have their own tag…

Good lord I swore off that site so many years ago lol
Please don't ever let Morning Musume be featured on that crap again, nothing good will come out of it

I am in shock over the numbers. I started crying, for serious. I hoped, but didn't believe.

Also wheb I was at Tower Namba yesterday and today there was always someone at the MM display. So many casual shoppers were caring about this. They deserve this, MM, Tsunku, UF... They are working hard.

Re-the AKB rivalry, the only way I see them taking them is if they can manage to keep the stores well stocked to meet demand. Cus selling 1 million in the first day is going to take a looot of work!

This is an excellent start to that though.

[Sohee]

So 2000 fans and 30 media companies. Wow. @.@ 30.

Okkay, so after all this mumbling which represents very well my words right now, at the moment I saw the number 96 K I felt a bit surprised, and basically I was not sure what was really going on. The fact is that I had seen the past sell numbers and they were all around 100 K so I thought "Hmm, so they did it, they are.... like maintaining the actual course of the group and tha's important, and very nice" , but that was because, I'm not sure why, I had the feeling that normally first day of sales is what defines it all, like on the rest of the week sales would be much much lower.... not reaching even a 1% of the sales 1st day makes. But I've gotta thank randompasserby for showing that chart where WaKiAinoGu was shown compared with the last Momusu singles, where I realized the numbers and the graphics variate and not just slightly... (wow, I really have to start to read numbers (and sometimes not only numbers, words too) more carefully, to not take some strange impressions next times, and what's more, it's even worse right now, as a scientist I am.... T__T(numbers are like a base))
So once checked it all..... WOW 96 K is a really nice number! It shows really well the monstruous efforts they all have done! Congrats to all!
Btw, I saw sombody to say they were selling about 30 K more the rest of the week, without having in count first day. But looking at all the data, right now it seems to be something like "between 35% and 50 % of the first day sales to be sold at the rest of the week" instead.
So it may seem a litlle optimistic but I think it's possible numbers after 1st week to be between 125 k and 140-145 k , and overall 160-170 K (trust me, I'm a physicist, I work a lot with numbers -> no, actually not, I'm studying it, and what's more I'm an airhead many times so... I'm alwasy fine with objections)

Yeah, It's really optimistic... (but remember that this time they are really making a big impact, shining , shining loud and brightly ) well, stop this lame poetry..

Anyway, stop talking about numbers (mnay times, even I get tired of it D:)

The most important thing about it is that the girls are really happy about how is everything going on.
And they deserve it. For real. A lot of effort has been put in, so they really gotta enjoy this moment. And the cool thing it's that it's not only right now, this raising up is expecting to continue for a long. YAY FOR THEM!

Also, better than exact numbers is the 1st place thing... the 3rd consecutive one is approaching! SO YES! GO FOR IT!!!!

Waw, this really is awesome (I'm actually a bit confused, tired and really happy right now, but it's still awesome)
