[Jessi]

Wow those are great first day sales! Pretty unfortunate to release on the day of a Johnnys debut otherwise those are very good numbers and the girls should be proud.

1st Day on Oricon @ #2 with 106,693 sold

1. SixTones vs Snowman (Johnnys jr. groups debut single) - 772,902
2. Morning Musume. '20 (15th gen debut) - 106,693

https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2020-01-21/

Oricon counts it as one single release for both Johnnys groups debut single, but Billboard Japan / Soundscan has announced that they count it as two separate single releases, wtf c'mon

SixTONES vs Snow Man - 476,109
Snow Man vs SixTONES - 449,528

So Morning Musume. '20 wiil be #3 on Billboard? wtf

[Shoujo Q]

Wtf kind of loop hole did Johnny’s find?

[koregaboku]

Of course it's Johnny's that found the loophole.

As an org my perception of them is that they are quite a bit more invested in claiming #1s, especially for a debut group.

This might especially be a big deal because they want to show that they can still produce #1s/superstars since Johnny himself passed away last year.

Billboard Japan First 3 Days Singles Sales (1/20~1/22)

Morning Musume. '20 is as expected @ #3, with 187,330 sold so far

1. SixTONES vs Snow Man - 586,350
2. Snow Man vs SixTONES - 569,152
3. Morning Musume. '20 - 187,330

http://www.billboard-japan.com/d_news/detail/84228/2

Morning Musume's best Billboard Japan First 3 day sales ever in the Mizuki Era.

it will soon surpass the Mizuki Leader Era's best selling single "Jama Shinai de Here We Go! / Dokyuu no Go Sign / Wakaindashi!" overall 4 week total reported (189,322~), in just a week.

It has shattered all of reported total sales of previous singles in the Mizuki Era. CMIIW

IMO, they should be ranked #2 for 15th gen's debut. They deserve better than #3. Morito's (14th gen) debut single was ranked #1. 13th gen's debut single was #2, 12th gen's debut was ranked #1 on Billboard.

2nd day on Oricon : stay at #2 with 9,384 sold

https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2020-01-22/

106,693 + 9,384 = 116,077

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I've been hoping 2020 would be the year they hit 200k. It's too bad Oricon doesn't match, but I'll take only being 12k-ish away on Billboard.
