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

[Denki]

Though it's impossible for it to be the highest selling Berryz single.

Berryz make about 3-4k after their first week nowadays. If Berryz were to make exactly 4k in the following few weeks combined, they'll still need around 1,540 more copies to sell in order to pass 37,096.

In the next single they just might, if, like previous stated, this single doesn't become its peak.

Even so, there's nothing wrong if this single is their highest right? Isn't that what we want for the girls more momentum ? I mean sure Crazy Kanzen na otona isn't my FAVORITE C-ute song in the world but i'm glad it sold as well as it did

If doing well means they're not going to improve (both the girls and whoever is in charge of other things like styling, choreography, etc), then my interest is still going down.

[Jessi]

Those sales are due to Sayonara Usotsuki no Watashi! Lol I felt the song and PV were better for that song. I didn't like Asian Celebration very much. Also I think the momentum from Morning Musume and C-ute are affecting Berryz. This is a good thing. Berryz needs to take better advantage of it though. Better sales or not they shouldn't be comfortable just being that "other H!P group that has Momochi and is ok but not as good as the other groups" that's no place to be content. They need to strive for a breakthrough moment like One two three and Kimi chari. I hope Yattaruchan and Atarashii Watashi ni Nare is S/mileage's breakthrough moment :3

Maybe people like Berryz and this song, and decided to buy it. It's a possibility

[wotakubrandon]

^Right? But that's crazy Berryz are just so awful and have been since forever apparently why would anyone be interested.

[Celedam]

Hey, that's my thing.

Is the radio popular in Japan? 62 is pretty low. How do people end up hearing the song ? TV?
