The theme of this Utacon episode is Karaoke hit songs. Morning Musume. '16 is forced to perform Love Machine again . . . .

This show will have some artists perform one classic song and one new song according to previous episodes.

There would be something interesting in seeing "Love Machine" and "Utakata" performed so closely together. (Though "The Vision" would be equally as welcome for me.)

[AyuHikaru]

114k on Oricon and 145k on Billboard are solid ass numbers. What does billboard count that Oricon doesn't though?

[Nayoko-Kihara]

According to Wikipedia for Billboard in Japan, they cover:
Physical store sales
Digital store sales
iTunes
Radio airplay
..Tweets? (from NTT DATA)
Gracenote computer scans (number of times a CD was registered as being inserted into a computer)

[Nayoko-Kihara]

The idea of Kanon singing "VERY BEAUTY" is all kinds of great. I need to hear it.
