Wow. Did not expect it to do this bad.

And seeing the numbers at the top of the list only twists the knife in the wound.

Well, I'm one of the 7000. That makes me a 1%'er!

Even that comedian girl who was very happy to see them perform was singing every song along with them, until they got to Shining Butterfly

They are popular and get on TV because of their past, but it seems like they can't really keep being a successful group with new releases. Or maybe the song doesn't really fit the "Golden Era" and they should have done something funky like Love Machine or RR21.

Showbiz people loves them (= they get on TV). But the average Japanese doesn't really care. And the song isn't really amazing either.

i feel a little bad, but then again maybe this will send a message: concentrate on the actual Morning Musume.
as nostalgic as people get about DMM, they're even less relevant than current MM.

Hear, hear.

Shining Butterfly is still a jam though.
