[10/10] Morning Musume : Wakuteka Take a chance

[Zunu]

Still the 51th single, I see.

Was expecting it tbh.

First day was all pre-orders and stuff. Thats a really big drop though.

Im predicting 70-80k. Its good sales wise, but UFP invested a lot of time and money for this to become another hit. I hope it sells well.

[Starra]

There are a fuckton of handshake events, though. I'm sure they'll sell quite a bit more.

[otaku_blue]

Im just hoping they dont experience the same thing as Aitai Na where they were so close to breaking 59K but have spent weeks at the 49K mark despite the great first day sales.

Frankly i'm just glad that we're even considering 60+k on two days to be the norm for MM again
A few years, heck months ago we would've been happy if their total sales barely breaks 50k

They have 54 upcoming events related to this single. So, yeah, they'll still sell a bit more.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Don't they also have a signed poster.. thing?

[otaku_blue]

Wait I've never asked this before but so those handshake events are they for people that buy singles before hand right? Like how do they work :S

[Panic Nancy]

Eh, sales are a little disappointing, but it's still really good. Handshake events, go! *sniff*

[Jessi]

#4 with 7,720 sold (61,767 copies total).

It's beaten every non-One・Two・Three single since Nanchatte. In two days.

Still really low sales compared to One・Two・Three's second day sales. I'm worried, but I guess we will have to see how the rest of the week will go. If the single ends around 80k I'll be satisfied, but I was hoping for another 100k. I don't want this single to be 80k then the next 60k then after that back at 40k. I mean I'll love them regardless, but I'm rooting for them and I want them to continue to do better than the Platinum Era. But its still early and ill keep my fingers crossed. Also 80k-100k might become to new median range for a while and that I wouldnt mind at all. We wont know that until the next single or two though.

Sayashi: Just when I was thinking, “I want this line,” I was completely off (laughs). But when I listened to the finished song, Eripon and Harunan were singing it, and that honest feeling came out plainly in their voices. I was deeply touched. I was glad that it was those two. It’s the song of people who are working hard with all their might to achieve their own dreams, and we’ve also been working hard ever since we auditioned to get into Morning Musume, and we’re working hard where we are now, so there are a lot of parts that can apply to us. It was a song that we could sing while being ourselves.

Are we talking about Shinnen dake Tsuranu Kitose? That song is like all the weak singers plus Riho. Riho seems out of place in that grouping. But i love that song and how Erina and Haruna sound. Seems like Riho has been getting spoiled with all the lines she gets and this song humbled her a bit
