[8/28] Morning Musume。54th single - Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke / Ai no Gundan [#1 single, 144k]

[Sohee]

Wow. Kanon's 1/娘。 video has 472,493 views. The most out of any girl, Sayu having around 300k and Riho 200k and the rest 100k.
Damn, Kanon. Any publicity is good publicity. She'll probably hit half a million before long.

Osaka Selcy is one of Morning Musume's biggest events outdoors, and always big sales to end the week.

it's raining lightly in Osaka this morning now. just hope that it will hold for today's event.

Anything past 151,342 ("Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyōtanjima" according to Wiki) would make it a bigger seller than any of 2003's singles.
(Now I'm starting to get excited about sales. )

Come on Osaka weather. It's been super unpredictable lately. Friday was supposed to just be cloudy and it rained all day, and then Saturday it was supposed to Thunderstorm and it ended up just being hot and doing nothing at all.

Also future reference, for events like these you just show up and then buy a single, yes? It was impossible for me to go anyway, since I have to be good and prepare for first day of work tomorrow, but it'd be nice to know for the future (though I sense it'll be harder and harder to do as they get more popular).

Leave Ayumi out of this.

I'm not sure if this is true in any way, but my theory is that Kanon is popular amongst teenage girls because she's the most "normal" one in the group. As in, like, girls can relate to her more than they can relate to Sayu or whoever.

This is probably not the case at all, though.

^That might be some of it -- it makes sense.

It's from being featured in a yahoo videotopics.
http://videotopics.yahoo.co.jp/category/music/official/
http://videotopics.yahoo.co.jp/videolis ... a316613f21

Over one million access, I'm surprised the view number on the youtube video isn't higher to be honest

[Yattaruchan]

Someone here mentioned Kanon's video was featured in some article somewhere about her, and that's the most likely reason for the spike in her views.
What he said.
