[randompasserby]

^lmfao Sayu saying Tsunku will continue producing Morning Musume until he dies
In all seriousness though, dude has my respect. Morning Musume forever

Sayu also vowed that they'll do their best to make not just the fans but also members of the general public to remember all the names of the current members.
　八代目リーダー 最高！！

You mean for today? Well, sadly, those sales won't be released until tomorrow. Oricon sales are always one day behind. If that makes sense.

Yep, I think weekly #1st is in the bag now

If they do get a Weekly #1 I hope they celebrate properly and show their gratitude for the fans properly.

A youtube video comment maybe? So proud of MM wota right now.

[iceymoon]

hope they "show their gratitude properly" ?
as a fan, i buy CD's to help them out because i want to see them get the recognition we know they deserve. i would never see them as not having thanked us "properly" for not posting some thank you message or whatever. i'm sure they WILL make a message or even just mention it being thanks to the fans when asked about it in interviews which will be nice, but i would never feel like "yeah, you should thank us" lol.

if anything i'd rather Tsunku just keep making awesome songs, the company keep improving on their products and promotion, and the girls keep working hard and being awesome. as a fan that's the biggest reward there is.

(sorry if that was a little ranty, your wording just triggered this reaction in me. and at 3am i am incapable of deciphering what thoughts are worth posting and which ones aren't lol.)

Tbh I just meant like a video or something. I love it when they have those sentimental moments with the fans, and they're like "ARIGATOU MINNA!!! MINNA DAISUKI! ARIGATOU! SHIN-MORNING MUSUME GANBAREMASU!" I think SYO had the cake if I remember right?

But yeah, I probably just worded myself wrong as it does have a negative connotation, but I too am suffering from sleep deprivation. Oh well...

The fact that MM is still MM, is already a good enough present for me.
