Not looking good, folks.
these hard times
Have we gotten so spoiled that 1.1 million total sales and 236K in soundscan numbers is considered poor?
Yes, AKB48 has been going downhill. I think we all feel that in some way or other.
It's inherent to the structure of an idol group. Old gens make the group great and the newer gens can never fill that legacy in a shorter time-frame.
On the plus side, this structure also mean no single girl can bring down AKB48. Not Acchan, not Yuko, not Miki.
This single is their
15th consecutive million seller. What are we even talking about.
The sales are still good, the girls are still cute and entertaining, they still release tons of merch we want, plenty of fun TV shows...
Damn negativity lately. That's not the jph!p way!
