thank you for proving me wrong!

was not expecting this.

Does this mean they've stagnated though? Considering this is a double A-side, and all the hype about this single um...

Considering this is a double A-side

What does it being a double A-side have to do with it? What does it ever have to do with it?
Apart from one additional Youtube video, the fact that it was a double A-side changed nothing.
They had (and still have) a large amount of handshake, live and talk events coupled with the same radio, magazine and tv-promo they always have.

I really don't understand people who think that the mere fact of making something a double A-side will somehow magically boost sales.
Same goes for the concept of multiple editions by the way.
Wota don't care, they just buy 40 copies of the same edition (whichever one is cheapest) as long as they have the coveted handshake ticket inside.

^ Couldn't agree more.

Berryz sales are pretty good actually, wotas are supporting them, and even if they look bored in the PVs, the songs are very good imo, I've said I really like all their singles since cha cha sing, so I'm glad it's selling well! Hope it holds up for the rest of the week!

I'm speechless in a good way
