that is true indeed, promotional team is taking things for granted a bit too much. Getting #1 in oricon just because of the 5th gens really means nothing and looking by the way the team is looking at this, they are definitely taking the previous sales for granted.
I'm wondering just how much influence does Kado-P has in this new singles, or is this more towards Pony Canyon's decision? Does anyone have any idea how this kind of decision is made.
At the very best, this could reflect the real number of actual sales without the influence of voting gimmick, at its worse, this can be the best wake up call that things are not going on the right direction.
