[10/15] Morning Musume。'14 57th single - TIKI BUN/Shabadabadoo~/Mikaeri Bijin

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOUUUUUUUUU!?!?!?! itunes... ;-;

maybe if we alllllll spam tsunku with a "why isn't it on itunes?" tweet, he won't listen?

[Starra]

My guess is that, since iTunes doesn't count towards Oricon sales, they're making people go out and buy physical copies that do. Yeah, it screws over the international fanbase, but Oricon doesn't count us anyway.

That, or since Mikaeri Bijin doesn't have Tsunku involved, they didn't wanna deal with whatever business stuff on that end.

OR they just forgot.

[esm]

Well, I usually buy the CDs anyway, and I only grab the songs from iTunes for convenience, especially since this time my copies of the single will be shipped with the album.

So I won't feel bad for getting the songs from H!O if they don't show up on iTunes.

OR they just forgot.

In which case spam this guy: https://twitter.com/UpFrontLink
Not sure if it will help though.

The MV's are on iTunes, just not the songs yet.
The single is also up on the Japanese iTunes store, but not yet international.

So best guess: just wait a bit.

YOU GUYS.
ARE.
GENIUSES.

You are both correct.
Jon- the MV's are up on itunes... but not Mikaeri Bijin's
That explains it all.
same reason Cha Cha SING wasn't put up, nor I Like a Picnic...

[Jessi]

So the single isn't up because of Mikaeri Bijin? That's pretty upsetting. I have the tiki bun and Shabadabadoo PVs purchased. But I really hope they can figure something out with the songs.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

One of three things will happen:
1) It will come out in a few days/a while bc they are getting the rights/ability to put mikaeri up.
2) It will never be released on itunes
3) It will come out without Mikaeri.

[Denki]

^^^cha cha Sing and I Like a Picnic were both covers, thus copyright laws make it harder for it to be on iTunes. This single is still "produced by Tsunku", even though he didn't made Mikaeri Bijin. It shouldn't have any copyright issues, especially since the music video is already up the Japanese iTunes.

It's best to wait. Don't make assumptions after the release being an hour late (so far).
It's not the end of the world that it isn't up in the American iTunes at this very moment.
