Oh really? Aw too bad. It was fun anyway xD

Ayumin is so poor she can't afford a standard video preview image lol

[Yattaruchan]

Where did the whole Ayumi is poor thing come from? People have obviously been joking about it for a while, but have always been curious.

And I can't help but think of Makoto when I think of 'poor' characters.

Man. All the videos have 100k views already. That's ridic. The new advertisements are really doing their job.

I think it all started with Ishida's fashion sense and then people start noticing she wears the same outfit too often during reharsals.

OMG is the Ikebukuro thing event today with the fountain??

YES! hopefully next week's Hello Project station has release event footage like they did for Brainstorming <3

Cause they'll have the new line distributions for their songs, and also that episode is like one of my favourites.

[Sohee]

Yeah it's today and hopefully we'll get footage and a lot of news coverage. But how I wish they'd stream it. ):

Got my boxset yesterday, time to talk about the b-sides I guess.
Liking Bouya and Makeru Ki ga shinai very much right now. Funwari Koiboto Ichinensei is ok, the girls sounds good but listening to it made me so sleepy... probably not a great idea when trying to stay awake at 3 am xD

The instrumentals are pretty cool too, there are quite a few parts I never noticed in the PVs that sounds great.

All in all another very solid single, damn I don't think even a single b-side since 123 has really disappointed me. This feels good.
They should make an album out of these with lots of extras like simple pvs/concert performances clips or something cause I would buy that in a heartbeat. Reina already graduating could complicate that idea somehow though... but still! God please make it happen

Just bought the tracks on iTunes so...

I loved all the b-sides since One Two Three as well (in fact, I have a playlist of a-sides and b-sides from then), but I have to say this single's b-sides are seriously some of the best among recent singles. "Funwari Koibito Ichinensei" is the one that sounds most generic, but at least they use a good arrangement to make up for it. Also, for a b-side to an generic-sounding idol song, the rapping doesn't actually sound embarrassing. In fact, it sounds great.

2ch started with the bread rack thing in her house when they did that audition announcement. It's for production, but the small version, the kind a home bakery would use, and they begin to wonder if her family runs a small bakery in their house, which probably means they couldn't afford a dedicated space for it, that it's probably her mother's job, the father's income isn't enough and that could mean they weren't live on easy street.
Snowball. Her short body (suspected nutrition deficient) , her clothing (multiple use, fashion taste, etc), her late smartphone adoption, the phone she chose (a last year model android instead of a new iPhone), etc.
