[8/22] S/mileage 11th single "Suki yo, Junjou Hankouki."

[DARC1993]

The color and the stars are very Americany.
What does the title translate to?

[Starra]

I'd translate it as "Love Is A Pure Rebellion" but that... is probably completely off, so don't listen to me.

[Menno]

If you translate it word for word it comes out like this:

"I Love You, Pure Hearted Rebellious Age"

Because of the , in the title I can see 2 interpretations of the title.

1.
A proclamation of love to Puberty.

2.
Split the title into 2 different parts. The first part is a simple expression of love, " I Love You". The second part a description of the age of the girls that say I love you, basically the age of the S/mileage members.

It's probably a bit of both, the lyrics of the song should clear this up.

Why to give recent Single as a c/w don't want to hear Kimichari (squeaky Ver.)

[UreChiissa]

Actually from the preview in the movie trailer they did pretty well...

[MrMoondoggie]

It sounds decent enough. Makes a change to hear them sing a song like that and not some loud obnoxious bubblegum pop. Not that there is anything wrong with it but change is good xD

It's a song that did well sales wise so they are likely slapping it on a S/mileage single in the hope people will buy the thing. Their last two singles did pretty low end of average for S/mileage so now they are like "oh please god let people buy the next single!"

Honestly if they want to shift copies they should just print photos for first press copies with a few limited edition ones to collect. It works for everyone else.

[UreChiissa]

I don't think they'll just be relying on the B-side for better sales... I actually think Tsunku is really considering to make a great single again for S/mileage after the *somewhat boring* previous 2, and the B-side is just a smart way to give a ballad to S/mileage while using the advantage of C-ute's popularity, but that won't just do it

[Ayeaye]

I think Kimichari did well because of °C-ute overall i don't think this popular Song will help S/mileage at all. Maybe it's some rescue from the declining Sales for S/mileage....

[Jessi]

It's quite obvious Tsunku is just trying to capitalize on the success of Kimi wa Jintensha by making it a B-Side. Berryz Kobo is going to have a Momochi B-Side so he is capalizing on that success as well. It's kind of smart I guess although with S/mileage declining in popularity I don't think it will help that much. Regardless Tsunku and H!P is having an amazing year (Minus Pyoko Pyoko Ultra ) Probably the best they've had in a while. Lets hope the momentum doesn't slow down.

[UreChiissa]

^ I agree on H!P having a great year, all of the groups seem to have gotten / will get a single that will mark their year (even if it's late), and it seems like this is the one for S/mileage
