I just got to watching the Upcoming, too...
I think they give some of the girls to do the harmonization because they can't sing the rest of the song properly. LOL (Like, Duu.) Idk if it was planned or not, but it's clear that her voice fit better into the scale of the harmonization as opposed to the actual song.

Hey does anyone know the billboard sales for the past few singles. I think this is an upswing, but I don't have the numbers readily available nor am I sure where to find them...

Spoiler: show

Thanks in advance

The Soundscan figures I've seen this single is 10k up at the same point, ZDA looks like it was a big success so it's possibly more than that now.

Billboard base their figure from Soundscan it's their sales accounting system.

So between oricon and Billboard, there's a difference of almost 70,000 copies ... Damn!
Really goes to show how out of whack oricon's rules really have become.

It's kind of nice to know, that even without counting the multiple sales and all the tricks, multiple versions and special promos they do to sell more copies, MM is still selling a lot more than they used to pre-Colorful Era. Just nice knowing that they REALLY are more popular/selling better

Not a big fan of Sexy Cat but really enjoy the other two.

Agreed. While Oricon's rules ARE BS, maybe people will shut up about Colorful Era only fake being more popular than Platinum Era

[Celedam]

[M]aybe people will shut up about Colorful Era only fake being more popular than Platinum Era

Who says that?

Evey single time you ask this question and someone answers "Oh Tumblr, oh 2chan, oh <insert forum here>" you always give a lecture about how we should only ever talk about Jplop. So, nah,

[Celedam]

Don't blame me for your bad attitude. As long as you frame it like that — as if we're all equally guilty and you're fed up with the lot of us and daring us to disagree with you — then you're damn right I'm going to ask the question.

Besides, it's not that you "should only ever talk about Jplop". I'm sorry if you misunderstood me on that point. It's that you shouldn't bring in bad stuff from other sites and try to make us feel bad as well. Many of us came here to get away from that stuff.
