@Kyu

thanks!
are these bonuses from cdjapan and stuff as well? cause i saw a foreign fan post something like "first single in a while not to come with a poster"?
and also weren't the trading cards out of stock or something?

cause i haven't ordered yet because of this.

^^ I saw it when I was browsing H!O earlier. I think it was 14.3% 14.4%.

Edit: Here we go. Credit to NightOfFire'14 from H!O:

"The HeyHeyHey special where Morning Musume appeared ratings:

http://blog.livedoor.jp/helloproject_vs ... 22894.html

The highest rating of the show was 14.4% at 20:32-20:33, the moment where Sayashi Riho did her solo dance

Morning Musume got the highest ratings out of the show (Arashi got 12.2%, if I'm not mistaken)

The top 3 ratings were (all with MM, except 19:38? but the rating is shared with 20:31 when they did appear):

14.4%（20:32、20:33）
14.2%（20:34）
13.9%（19:38、20:31）

It's all on that thread, feel free to correct me"

I think this is a big deal. MM got the highest ratings of the show, and both Arashi and Kanjani8 were there.

And Riho is probably more popular among H!P wota than we thought? Her dance segment got the highest rating in the whole show.

And this, lol;

Well, here's the question:
I bought limited B before it sold out...
In the item description it says "External Bonus: __________ (the calendar thing)"
but it also says "First Press Bonus: One photo selected from 12"
so, does that mean that I will get both of them?

Fiuu. That giant Shibuya billboard is really killing it! Awesome!

Mizuki and Ayumi are so cute---

Yes you get them both, as far as I know from the last Juice=Juice single, I bought it before release day but CDJapan said they no longer had the bonus of the coaster. But when I got them in the mail a week after release, it had them. But a poster is much different than a coaster so I don't know if they would restock those.

But as for the photos, I assume as long as you preorder it, I don't see why it wouldn't have them inside.

If the data I've collected is correct, they've been super promoting this single via handshakes!

Spoiler: show

1/12 - Michishige, Sayashi, Iikubo, Oda (Hiroshima)
1/13 - All (2 prefectures each)
1/15 - Sayashi, Suzuki, Satou (Kinshicho, Tokyo)
1/15 - Fukumura, Iikubo, Ishida (Kawasaki Tower Records, Kanagawa)
1/17 - Fukumura, Ishida, Oda (Sakae Nagoya, Aichi)
1/17 - Michishige, Iikubo, Satou, Kudou (Tsutaya Shibuya, Tokyo)
1/18 - Michishige, Fukumura, Ishida, Oda (Kanayama Nagoya, Aichi)
1/19 - Ikuta, Suzuki, Satou, Kudou (Kanayama Nagoya, Aichia)

Please correct me if any of that is wrong. And there's only likely to be even more as release day approaches!

i'm not sure what you mean by this? is it not well known that Riho is insanely popular among H!P wota? Japanese fans think it's weird that Riho ranks so low among foreign wota (#7 out of 35 in the poll H!O did).

and LOL at the video. at first i thought maybe they were imitating MM but then i remembered they also do their own songs/choreography. shows how much attention i pay to Johnny's...

It crossed my mind that Riho is more popular among H!P wota in Japan than even Sayu.
ofc I don't have more than these ratings (and I remember some reports that Riho's merchancy was first to sell out on concerts), so it's really hard to tell. Only UFP knows the exact popularity of the girls

Music Japan next week preview - yet another Music Japan food segment. Kudo sitting right next to her favorite band, Sekai no Owari.
