[6/19] Berryz Kobo 32nd single: Golden Chinatown / Sayonara Usotsuki no Watashi

[resop2]

So, the fact that I could sit through both videos without hitting reject was a positive indicator?

This might be showing positive momentum, which is good.

I wonder if it would help if BK did as a publicity stunt/joke a YouTube video where the announced that they were the "reborn" BK and all the members adapted fake names and different personalities.

This -is- better than Asian Celebration and WANTO in my opinion, glad Japan agrees Glad Japan didn't mind Chinami getting more lines.

[wotakubrandon]

Does she have more lines in this or Asian Celebration. Because I feel like they're about the same it's just that in Asian Celebration they're all together

[Denki]

We don't need more Chinami lines. I want them to stick with Miyabi/Risako lead next time.

But woah. Never expected them to sell that high. I hoep it isnt their peak and continue going higher. :B

[Sohee]

...while I agree that double-A sides have nothing to boost sales (unless both songs are tie-ins or whatever), the multiple edition thing definitely does help.

Having that said, I never expected this to do bad or anything enough really. Selling a few more copies than Asian Celebration is great for them though.

Miyabi/Risako lead is the best. Momoko being in there with them would be fine, too.

"But… but… they're just a bunch of boring failures!" – the last three pages of this thread

It's a day late for Monday Morning Quarterbacking...

Fair cop, though.

a.k.a. their best 1st week sales ever!

Holy crap you're right 0_0 and I HATE Chinatown soooo much 0_0 wtf... then again I loved Asian Celebration sooo

This has me bouncing around sales figures.... I never realized how poorly album sells are... 5000 for the last three albums 0_o and I remember getting depressed that Ai no Dai 6kan only sold 30k....

[AyuHikaru]

Yeah, I never thought this would fail and was even hoping it would do good numbers! And it did! Yay Berryz!

I still stand by what I said.
I love Berryz, but I can be critical.

I am optimistic about Berryz and all but I didn't expect this would be the one to break Jinjisukan's first week sales record

Good job Berryz

[Rm88]

Chinatown rocks. But yeah, beating Jingisukan's first week? That was not very predictable
