Smileage beaten by another 6 person idol group. not a good start. but hopefully they'll get back to #4. They have been promoting this single a lot since last month, so thats no excuse.

that is so embarrassing. they even had the boxset thing and the tower record japan collab rn.

Spoiler: show

a double a-side lost to this mediocre thing. PV location is the same as momoclo's otome thing.

today's mini-live and handshake event at Mega Web in Odaiba

usually H!P groups have a big Ikebukuro Sunshine city event on release day, but not today. it's next week.

I must say that other Idol Groups Song is just slightly better IMO. They need to give S/mileage sweet/cute Songs maybe that would help. But this A-side is just not that good sadly.
Maybe they will climb up next Days because of todays Event.

Smileage is featured on the first floor (new releases only) at Tower Records Shibuya near the main entrance and the main elevator.

Third place had only 20k copies, and they're 5th, and below another supposedly lesser idol group? This is embarrasing...

Third gen.

Now.

Wow, nice going Lovely Doll. I have a friend who writes a few of their songs, so I for one am not too sad about this.

[Obsidian]

I think they have at least three former Backstage Pass members as well.

I feel bad for them but this was a weak single that was very uninspired and felt phoned in. I hope this is a wake up call to Tsunku and UF that Smileage needs a shake up in the group or a change up in their songs. I hope this run of live house tours will bring in some new fans.
