[8/28] Morning Musume。54th single - Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke / Ai no Gundan [#1 single, 144k]

[zam_ho]

Whats this D-Day? Suddenly they are taking on all beach heads

[forgetmenots]

Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke/Ai no Gundan is #3 today at 6,013

They were only 800 less than AKB this time around, and Exile came out and did some smackdown

I think this puts them at 140K+, but if they really are aiming for some longevity and succeed, I wonder what the final sales might be...

Also it seems like pretty much all of the reviews of the single on Oricon have been 100/100, which is pretty awesome.

[Yattaruchan]

So, that makes it about 140.5K for the first week.

[Menno]

Exile came out of nothing, they shot to #1 with a single that was released in April. Luckily it just had 17516 sales, it's not a surprise contender for the weekly #1 spot. That's still going to be MM with over 138,963 copies sold after todays numbers, it will be 140k with the thursday #4 numbers added + the extra that they usually get over the daily totals with the weekly numbers.

exile pulled a wtf; ah well, it doesnt matter. too late for them.

140,570

So high in the list

[Zunu]

^ Impressive! Koko ni Iruzee was almost 11 years ago, and all the higher ones are even older than that. Sayumi's never experienced this kind of first week success in her entire career!

^^ Amped, you're such an internet mining master.
I hadn't even found time yet to post about it here. ^^;;;;

Nice-looking photograph too, chocoboins! Beautifully laid out.

But, freakin Morinaga.... "Arigatou gozaiDARS"? They're not even trying! That's not even "otsukareina" level.

Shinjuku station

[Shoujo Q]

The true test of this single is how long it will stay on the charts before dropping out of nowhere.

On another note, it's interesting to see the first week sales of Love Machine, considering how well it did overall. I was expecting it to be a higher number. xD

[Celedam]

It was on the charts for seven months. It was a genuine phenomenon. That's why everyone remembers it.
