[06/27] Mano Erina 12th single "Song for the DATE"

[Echidna]

I know, but still

[knuddel]

today dropped @ Rank 13

Is it wrong that I think Mano Erina should just graduate and become an Actor or something. She has the worst sales of all of H!P. Not that I hate Mano or anything. Its just that if she left we could get a new soloist like... cough... Miyamoto Karin...

[Sohee]

Because having two soloists isn't a possibility?

[Celedam]

On a per-head basis, she's actually one of the best earners. 15,000 / 1 = 15,000. 40,000 / 10 = 4,000.

[DARC1993]

i think shes doing decent for a solo career.

LOL Well when you put it that way...

We could argue it with Tsunku. I really wish he would add more soloists. I've been under the impression that he feels he can't afford more than one soloist or something.

Of course, when you take EVERYTHING into account — management, training, marketing, production of goods, studio costs, venue costs, costumes — the member's share is actually rather small, so that each unit costs about the same regardless of how many members are in the unit. But still…

Tsunku is up for anything, as long as he can work with girls. It's the management at Up Front you have to argue with. But seeing that Up Front has enough people on it's rooster that appear to do less then Mitsui Aika you can be sure that money isn't the issue when it comes to launching another solo career within H!P.

Karin would be a great soloist, but she's also still very young. That seems to be more the issue here. And not just in H!P, you don't see too many 13 year soloist in this industry.

That's what I was thinking. Although I still like the copies per head idea. haha

I mean its not like I don't like Mano. Its just her songs to me are good but not great. And she's not really selling any better over time. I think maybe she could be more successful focusing on other things like acting. I guess she could still do ending themes if she decides to do dramas. Its just frustrating to watch her career. Although I do think she's gotten much better.
