Already passed Wakuteka's weekly sales in 4days, pretty good I'd say ... though I kinda expected better. I blame sb and his kool aid lol
Come on 100k weekly !!

[Starra]

Even if we don't make weekly 100k, we'll definitely make 100k in total sales.

I blame these fairly ugly outfits.

I think MM really need to do right now is to work on attracting more new fans, and maintaining relations with fans.

From Renai Hunter to One Two Three, there was a huge surge in fans from the hype that was the Girls Award Fashion award performance. The handshake events also help sustain this relationship, making the idol more personal.

But they just need to work on getting more exposure to a larger audience to attract more and more fans.

YEAH BACK WHEN THEY HAD CUTE CLOTHES.

Ngl, the One・Two・Three outfits are my favourite MM。outfits ever.

Yea I'll take the blame. The H!P powers that be that read this forum are confused at my kool-aid drinking support, instead of my usual alcohol drinking brat calling, boner killing, DAMN YOU TSUNKUing disapproval.

[otaku_blue]

Werent they the best outfits ever because they were supposedly produced and bought externally?

^x2

... lest we for forget though, the last few MM singles that managed to get an oricon weekly #1st after 2003 are

-- *1 *1 *1 *2 *4 *5　　*1　*84,251　03/04/23(水) モーニング娘。「AS FOR ONE DAY」
-- *1 *1 *1 *1 *1 *1　　*1　*40,967　06/11/08(水) モーニング娘。「歩いてる」
-- *1 *5 *1 *2 *5 *6　　*1　*47,528　09/05/13(水) モーニング娘。「しょうがない 夢追い人」

If you take into account that the singles between those oricon 1st singles only averages about 30-50k total and compare it to MM's last three singles...
