[2/19] Berryz 34th single : Otona na no yo! / 1 Oku 3 Senman Sou Diet Oukoku

[wotakubrandon]

It is the very Berryz song. It's fun and a bit weird sounding and I kind of associate vocal effects with Berryz now so there's that.

I like a lot the dance shot for 1 oku 3 Senman. Gives good vibes.
I also like a lot how the filmed it - this time they are not using any strange angle and this combined with the outfits makes you see the real height of each girl. (and also the proportions). And it's something attractive, makes it cute, it's like adding cute to cool

I can't stop listening to Diet. Song, outfits, dance, everything is pretty great about it. Somehow it's not testing very well with a couple of friends, though I think it's not an instant-grower, I remember hating it at first.

1 oku 3 nen man is absolutely amazing. I must have listened to it a million times. Really my favorite Berryz single in a long time. To me it's very Berryz. Not that I can explain what Berryz is just yet, but it just feels right. Also Saki has become perfection.

Um...Become ?

^ Not quite yet, but after they finish straightening her droopy eye, maybe.

But the estimated page thingy says that 58,000 people were interested in the single (or rather, 58,000 copies)...

You do not understand how NINKI works.

What is NINKI?

The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.

NINKI is a poll. The numbers represent the portion of people polled who might buy the single. This number is limited.
Which is why, for instance, AKB48 singles usually top out in the 500.00 range while they easily surpass the million mark.
Morning Musume's 54th single had a NINKI of 94.30 but sold 144.061 copies in its first week.

58.10 for Berryz Kobo does NOT equal 58.100 copies sold.
Moreover, with NINKI apparently being posted the week of release instead of the week before these days, it has essentially become useless.

But do you think we will start seeing 5,000 again like, for thursday or friday's sales?

Not likely.

ok, I know all this. That's why I said that it said 58.10, and i said that that means that 58,000 people were interested in the single, no?
(not meaning buying it, but just.. interested in it)
