[11/23] Morning Musume. ‘16 62nd single - Sexy Cat no Enzetsu / Mukidashi de Mukiatte / Sou ja nai

[AyuHikaru]

Whoa, strong open. Wasn't expecting that number one at all.

[Chibs]

Nope I loved the Ponpon combi, poor Eripon

Wasn't expecting number 1, but the drop in sales is annoying me >___>

[Jessi]

Sales are still strong despite the oricon drop! And a #1 for the day is great! Lets hope its a weekly #1 as well, which will make it honestly a non point that the sales dropped. Its not like its their fault anyhow.

I'm also looking forward to the billboard numbers. It will give us an idea of how this single compares to their previous singles a bit better. Which may show that the single hasn't really dropped in sales at all. Oricon is just reflecting the amount differently.

I think that PonPon was a great idea and was pretty brilliantly played as it upped the popularity of the two a great deal at the time.

However, it lost a lot of steam when Riho outed the pair as "business". Also, it has become common knowledge that OdenPon predated PonPon and seems to be less business.

Masaki/Erina is quite shocking, especially since they had a backstage video where Erina teased Maa-chan until she cried and said that she hated Erina (for trying to steal Reina).

I like all of the combi's that Mizuki has been in (and there have been a ton). If H!P wanted to make money then they would do a photo book with Mizupon cosplaying with all of her combi partners.

I've decided that I can't stand Kudo in front for the chorus because of the hat. I realize this because even when they've stopped dancing and kneel to pose for the end, I'm still glaring at this stupid hat and wishing someone would eat it or that it would rain so it would have a purpose.

Anyway, get that #1 weekly!! Girls are killin' this single.

It really is distracting and doesn't go with the outfit which is weird cause Haruna's is styling.
