Morning Musume。11th Gen "Suppin Utahime" WINNER ANNOUNCED!

[kyuu]

it's not like her career is sucessful, like somehow Miki's was
I love Miki and after seeing Suugaku I think Yuu is super beautiful. I would be pleased.

[Chibs]

she isnt even in hp anymore. and i thought Miki's solo career was bust

[Nayoko-Kihara]

^ She did well, at least as far as sales go. Most of her solo stuff seems to have sold more than current Kikkawa + Mano combined.

Between..40k-60k? per single at first, then (4/5 year gap) her last single hit around 20k. Her album sold over 100k.

Edit: No though, to Kikkawa in MM. No thank you.

I thought Miki's solo career was successful and that's the whole reason he put her in Morning Musume.

[Zunu]

I think they're referring to her post Musume career, Brandon.

while that was good compared to now, was that good compared to then aka Nacchi, Goto, Ayaya?

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Doing good but not great is still doing good, not bad/a 'bust'?

Unless I'm misunderstanding the way you mean "bust".

Edit: Though for what it might be worth her album did actually sell more than all of Abe's albums (and more than Maki's first album) - but I'm too lazy to look at numbers for the rest of them.

[Chibs]

ah ok

[danzarely]

I was just joking how the past 3 auditions have been a tidal wave of "ADD KIKKA!!!!!!!! OMGZ!!!!!!"

But that song charted a really long time. I remember being envious that H!P songs didn't chart like that.
