Having only two songs and no Rio doesn’t help matters either.

[Sohee]

Huh hadn't thought of it before, but you're right. There's only two songs -- but there's only been two songs/A-sides for a very long time it seems. Other groups have gotten b-sides so I hadn't thought of it much but pls bring back B-sides for MM as well.

[Shoujo Q]

I also think it’s because it’s Ikuta graduating. She naturally never had many fans so wouldn’t bring a big draw of people buying her graduation single.

Also for a Tsunku single this overall just isn’t a great two songs. They were pretty lackluster from the start. Hopefully their next single isn’t so unimpressive.

And I agree the loss of the b-sides doesn’t help matters.

[Loverindesu]

I'm glad this is flopping, both songs are terrible.

[Denki]

I miss b-sides so much.

I don't understand why they didn't continue having Hoshibe Sho write songs for them, "Wake-up Call ~Mezameru Toki~" was such a success. They took two steps backwards.
