I just love this song! It touched my heart...
I am really amazed by the dance-shot version. I think it's amazing. The dance is smooth and fits with the song. Plus, the girls look awesome in those outfits. Tsunku just needed to put a dress-theme for promotions, and in this case they're sort of bakery girls... whatever.
This song rocks. PV too. Dance-shot version too.

I think the choreo is simple but ok. imo, it will show which girls can dance, especially with this totally different feel... much like namida tomaranai houkago.

ETA: Tsunku's comment on the single;

http://www.tsunku.net/berryz.htm#berry_14

ボーカリストとしては、夏焼雅、菅谷梨沙子を中心に上達してきてますが、
嗣永桃子の歌唱力が新たにスキルアップしています。
the centres sugaya and natsuyaki have progressed, but Tsugunaga Momoko's singing has experienced a new "skill up".
この先の彼女の歌の魅力の幅が広がっていく予感をこのシングル曲で感じました。
from this single, we can feel the broadening charm of her singing.

Look! Tsunku is all Momoko vocals as well.

It's true, she sounds very good now. It's like she really puts feeling into it and sings lower.
The dance version is so beautiful even with the lack of a background. I couldn't stop staring at Momo

Looks like the Single V is gonna make its way into my next order

22.000 total? Didnt special generation make 24.449?

tiny · « **Reply #247 on:** July 02, 2007, 02:18:25 PM »

There are 2 bests:
- 22K sold is the highest first week sales for a Berryz single, and
- 4th is the highest ranking for a Berryz single.

mode107 · « **Reply #248 on:** July 02, 2007, 02:22:17 PM »

^ Oh, so is Special Generation still their highest selling single? sry, I'm a bit confused

Brat-san · « **Reply #249 on:** July 02, 2007, 02:32:55 PM »

Highest selling single first week
It still has potential to be highest selling because Special Generation only sold 19,000 first week.

Total sales, yes. But for its first week, it sold 19.814 copies.

We'll have to wait and see if Funsui can break SG's record in total sales or not.

But I'm afraid that they might continue this kind of music for Berryz because of the sales. -_-"

Ooh! They finally decided to promote the single!

Oha Star on Wednesday!

I think this is going to beat Special Generation.

I'm afraid too. Two ballads, one after one, scares me. They need to get some other nice songs like C-ute is having.

tamatron · « **Reply #252 on:** July 03, 2007, 09:39:05 AM »

Looks like the number is 22.442. Not on Oricon yet, though.

It needs 2.008 more copies to break SG's record. But it fell bad after the first 3 days and the event has already passed, so no motivation to buy it.

It might take a while to reach that sales (if it ever).

-- *4 *7 *5 *9 15 26 -> *7 19.814 24.449 Special Generation
-- *3 *4 *5 18 27 31 -> *4 22.442 22.442 Kokuhaku no Funsui Hiroba

It's weird taht they barely promote this single, except for a few radio shows and daytime tv shows. Not even on HM! What are they thinking? $:-\$

Blu-Cherri · « **Reply #253 on:** July 03, 2007, 06:46:36 PM »

^I thought that too, I was kinda surprised it did so well with such a lack in advertising.

Maybe having SSA on TV made an effect, even though the song was not on it promoted berryz in general os maybe??

Anyway I still have to order it xD I'm so lazy but if I order in from CDjapan does it increase the sales because a japanese person told me it wasn't on the oricon list O.o

tiny · « **Reply #254 on:** July 03, 2007, 06:53:43 PM »

CDJapan is not on the Oricon list, but Neowing is. Both are the same company. Neowing caters to the Japanese market, CDJapan to the overseas market.

Pinkosa · « **Reply #255 on:** July 03, 2007, 07:27:48 PM »

I'm surprised too. Usually, they appear on MF like the same week when the single was released but noting

Anyway, I'm glad they got really nice sales!

Falcon1309 · « **Reply #256 on:** July 03, 2007, 07:48:59 PM »

You can probably attribute the increase in sales to the handshake event.

Kyobu · « **Reply #257 on:** July 03, 2007, 07:57:56 PM »

MIYABI and momo could have helped?

Pinkosa · « **Reply #258 on:** July 04, 2007, 08:47:41 PM »

^I don't think so. In that case, the SSA concerts were the ones who helped~

tiny · « **Reply #259 on:** July 11, 2007, 04:50:59 AM »

The 2nd week figures are in: 71st, 1,311 sold. Total sales are now 23,753.
