[10/15] Morning Musume。'14 57th single - TIKI BUN/Shabadabadoo~/Mikaeri Bijin

[Sohee]

Gotta remember it's a 3 a-side single AND Sayu's graduation single.
I would not be surprised to see if this would get close to 200k.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

I was thinking that too.... but you never know. If it had b-sides like Reina's did... then it would EASILY sell that. but we'll see what happens, and hopefully it will be great.

Morning Musume. '14's consecutive #1's record is over. just got to give Sayu a 3rd place finish.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

It would not surprise me at all if there was an announcement moving the release date now.

[Denki]

We escaped from a Johnny's group only to have another Johnny's group as the strong competition.

[aerosuffly]

Now they could really move back to 10/1. What a hectic month of release.

[koregaboku]

Wow.

This one sounds like Johnny's might be picking a fight with EXILE. I hope UF* pulls an Avex and moves the release date.

And I doubt that 10/1 would be good. They'd have to go to NY when they would need to put all their time and energy to promote the single. The "we did a concert in NYC" buzz is good, but not nearly as good handshakes and such.

[aerosuffly]

Oh right ... I totally forgot about that.

Well, this is as good as it can get I guess. But who knows UF might pull a buy-this-single-to-enter-a-lottery-for-sayumi-grad-concert gimmick but I hope that does not happen. Losing to Johnny's and EXILE is not a big deal as long as she can graduate with grace.

[Starra]

I had a dream last night TIKI BUN was absolutely terrible and the entire fandom hated it...... I'm really scared now.

[AyuHikaru]

Damn, that week is like the strongest week ever...
