Well this is out of nowhere, but I'm happy to hear it! MaiMai has a terrific singing voice, so hopefully it'll be a good song.  :thumbup

From what I hear in this clip, I like the song, but don't love it. It seems interesting. :thumbup

Now the VISUALS though are fantastic. :drool: The CD+DVD edition is now the must buy. :lol:

sounds very avex-like and I like it but doesn't have much punch to it...hopefully the punch is in the bits we haven't heard yet.

It looks like MaiMai is doing some real business with avex. :shocked:

You know what would be the coolest thing ever? Oshima Mai and Goto Maki collaboration!! DO IT AVEX. DO IT DO IT! :w00t:

^ Completely agree with you there. Something about the 'rap' (for lack of a better term) really throws me off.

Sexy Mai  :heart:
I liked, I hope to enter the Oricon
and is a great way also to recognize that not everyone is released so
Well Mai and ask you to support my copy  :cow:

Weird song.. It does stand out, it's kinda catchy, yet slightly annoying  :lol:

Whatever, all I want is a MaiMaki collab!!  :drool: which is closer than ever since they're both at Avex.

I like the song, but I think I only do because I reaaaaally want to. I won't cancel my pre-order, but I don't think I'll blind-order one of her CD's again. :nervous I was expecting as much, though. Avex Trax jumped the shark several years ago, in my opinion. There's not much anymore that comes out of their camp that I'm very into.

That's ... not much.
Now I don't know how much promotion this got or whether there are any events at a later date but I would've thought she'd be able to sell 10k+ on the first day despite the mediocre song...

Post by: SomethingWild on May 06, 2010, 02:43:32 PM
Yeah, Masa and I predicted that the single wouldn't do well. Getting 10K the first week will be hard the way things are going..

Day 2

#5 with less than 3274 sold. I don't know the exact number.

Dropped to a daily #7

The number 3 today sold 2095 copies... so MaiMai must be below 1k for today  :oops:

Goes to show how fickle wota can be and how important sales events are....
Poor Maimai, I so hoped she would do better. She just shouldn't have left...

Obviously we'd like her debut single to be better and be better received, but given the song I'm almost surprised it did this well.

Someone failed to make the phone call to the right person requesting a number one hit song be written for her.

+1.

I'm not that surprised though. Avex is terrible at marketing. A majority of their popular artists made it on raw talent and luck. Also, this song did not utilize MaiMai's voice, in my opinion. She can sing really well, but this song didn't do a good job of showcasing that. I don't regret buying it though. It's good, just not what she needed for a solo debut.
