[5/02] S/mileage 10th single "Dot Bikini"

[Sohee]

lol @ calling Takechan manly. xD She's a bit sporty and possibly what one would call boyish but manly? xD

[Ayeaye]

^i call her like that....i don't know why but never loved such Idols who are boyish or manly.....

[Zunu]

Boyish or tomboyish, maybe, manly, no effing way. A short haircut doesn't make a girl a dude.

So, pre-album suppression or outright flop? Discuss!

Flop in the sense that if S/mileage are meant to rival MM, that's clearly not happening. I'm curious as to, in light of the way that other up-and-coming idol groups seem to be picking up steam, why S/ are slowing down. Is the public turned off by the taint of Tsunku (seriously no pun intended here, eww gross if you even thought there was), or is it just not a good song in this instance? Or some other reason?

Seriously I thought this would hit mid 20's at least.

[Ayeaye]

Tsunku needs to give the non H!P Groups new producers IMO.... they have all the same image IMO......

[Sohee]

There's nothing interesting going on for this single... which is something S/ have had for the past few singles at least. Tachiagirl was the first single with new girls, Please miniska Yuuka's last, Chotomate first single as 6nin, what's this then? I mean, I know that along doesn't bring many sales or anything but it really would... I don't know. I like the song well enough, and the cover of Country M's song is good and cute, impressed by the vocals (sans Meimi for some reason) in that one. But overall this single is kinda boring... Even if the song does get stuck really easily.

are full single direct links allowed here?

[Celedam]

No, they're not. H!P singles and albums are readily accessible to anyone in the world through other channels like iTunes, HelloStoreUSA, CD Japan, and so on, so posting direct links to them is gratuitous piracy.
