[1/29] MM。'14 55th "Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE?" (158k in 3 weeks)

Like the last single, I bought the box set! Does that count for 1 copy or 7 or whatever?

I'm also wondering if the boxset comes with the pictures... who knows!

If it's like it was for the previous box sets, it counts as all 7 editions. 7 sales.
I also wonder if they come with photocards... those are sealed within the 1st press editions so... probably?
But how about posters?

I bought the two normal editions.

It doesn't come with the posters as it's an external bonus. The photos aren't external bonuses if im correct.

[boinsie]

Thanks, that makes sense.

The limited editions come with those posters that double up as calendar pages, but you'd have to buy them from different stores to get the whole year, which is sad because if you could get different pages with different editions (from anywhere) I would have ordered all the editions from CDJapan last night. I pre-ordered the two regular editions a while ago, and I was thinking of getting the other ones too because I'm really excited about the release, but I decided against it because I can't deal with an incomplete calendar on the wall.

But the calendar portion is so small that maybe I can deal with it. Still deciding.

edit: Well, the first press of the regular editions comes with the posters too. So it's a matter if I want to spend money to help buy the CDs.

It's hard to know exactly why she's crying because of the way it's edited, but roughly speaking, she was trying to play the game seriously, but the game itself was intentionally broken. They're supposedly playing musical chairs, but since the number of seats matches the number of players, the game can't work. So, she cut to the heart of the matter and was trying to pull a chair out (it's cut here, but I imagine that a director kind of yelled at her, because even though she thought she was fixing the game, she was actually unmaking the set.) Later, most of the players are eliminated from the game, presumably by director fiat. So Kudo was presumably upset at being eliminated from a game without having lost. So the staff is chuckling or whatever at her being upset at losing a game that is unwinnable, so she gets noticeably upset at being (maybe)yelled at and then (actually) laughed at just for trying to do what she's told.
(They say play musical chairs, and then laugh at her for trying to play musical chairs.)

The point they were trying to make in the segment was "If you win a game with horrible rules, you're not actually happy about it." But it more proved the inverse "If you lose a game with horrible rules, you're still actually upset about it"

Kudo: i dont get this game, seriously what is this game, i really dont understand this, i came here to work seriously not for this. oi why are you guys laughing?...

Anyways bottom line is Kuduu takes her job as a morning musume member seriously and wasnt aware what the point of the game was.

The instrumental to Kimikawari is... flawless. Idek.

It is a straight up jam

[Sohee]

Eh. Corrected.

Eripon's part from H!O:

1:35
Eripon: Hamada-san, Hamada-san, Hamada-san,
Hamada: Yes?
Eripon: We're in the same boat (sitting in the panel; not hosting the show)
Hamada: Ah... yes.
Matsumoto: What? That's difficult (to comment to in a comical way for comical variety).
 
5:38
Eripon: There's something I want you to explain to me.
Matsumoto: Yer so aggressive (i.e. Continues to get attention by talking)
Eripon: Backstage there are three rooms for you Matsumoto-san, Hamada-san and then one for Downtown-san, right? (i.e. Downtown is the comedy duo of Hamada and Matsumoto)
Matsumoto: Oh? Yeah, right.
Eripon: Why?
Matsumoto: Well something like, if for me and then the manager and... No, you know what? You're difficult to talk to (in a comical matter to create laughs for variety), that's the lesson I learnt today. (i.e. reference to the show since it's a "lesson learnt." show.)

I was just checking the previews on iTunes (was kinda curious about the instrumentals), so I'll just post the link: https://itunes.apple.com/album/id797476834

[Shoujo Q]

Ah and so begins tagging hell.

The instrumentals don't disappoint either. I once dis-guarded the instrumentals, but even since Renai Hunter, I've kept them all on my computer.
