Honestly I'm starting to like the genuine excitement of SHOCK EYE. I hope he works for H!P more.

I'm really enjoying how this single is shaping up. I don't love GamushaLIFE but I see it's commercial appeal.

Tsugi no Kado is just a really well done song and Middle Management satiates my love for Saki and Maimai leading a song; plus, I really like the dance for Middle Management.


On another note; performance wise I think it's incredible that C-ute can fill the same stage that a larger group like MM. fills but perform to a level where it doesn't feel empty or like somethings lacking. I think that's how I feel when J=J performs sometimes. Nothing against them, just that C-ute's known for their performances for a reason.

Tsunku's comment on the lyrics to Middle Management.
http://ameblo.jp/tsunku-blog/entry-12008446820.html

- He was given the melody first to write lyrics to.
- The theme he was given was: Since C-ute suddenly became the highest/oldest group in H!P, let's put their situation into a normal OL's (office lady) situation where she suddenly finds herself with nothing but juniors around her.
- The girl in the song is of course older than the C-ute girls are, as C-ute as they are right now would just have been working for a year or so - if even that.
- He had a title in mind that was: "女の性" (Onna no saga; The nature of women/A woman's nature) but in order to make it easier for the public to understand the theme of the song, they settled on this one instead.

Airi lightening her hair a bit completely slipped past me, and I hadn't noticed it til now. She looks lovely can't wait to see how well this does!

SKE48 and NMB48 both release a day early on 3/31 (Why? to cheat Oricon? I don't know.). And its a bit early still for 4/1, but competition is Baby Raids Japan, CANDY ISLAND, kiryu, Doll Elements, Tamura Yukari, Hirofumi Araki, Nakano Fujo Sisters

both SKE48 and NMB48 are 1 and 2 today because they released a day early to settle their "rivalry". The best C-ute could do is #3 this coming week.
