It does not surprise me that they had a fall off in sales with this single. If you look at the two previous singles, the PV for Ee ka!? had the girls in short mini-skirts bending over a lot and the PV for Mystery Night had corsets that they were barely staying in and fishnets. So, since the PV's for the new single are lacking in fan service it's only natural that there would be a fall off in sales. However, I am not worried since these are two high quality songs. If S/Mileage continues the high quality thing then the will find an audience beyond those people who just want them to show some skin. Besides, they had reached the end of the road with the fan service thing. Once you start with that, the fan service fans will not be happy unless there is a steady escalation in the subsequent PV's and S/Mileage has reached its limit in how far they are willing to go.

If you could list the songs from Event #3 I would really appreciate it! Do S/mileage always do solos for their events? They all really do sound great and I am so happy with Fukuda's Koi Shitai Shinto and Ayaka's My Days For You!
