may be HP should try to get their songs tied to doramas and animes more often

Even the dumbest would know that Anime or dorama tie up boost sales up.
Problem is it's not easy task at all.

lol nice pwnage sukeban deka, very well done for someone new here.

yes, dorama's and anime's boost sales...also being in the spotlight as the latest momusu member...its also appealing to the pedo people and the mo-wotas

The success of an anime/drama song depends on the success of an anime. This means the anime is doing really well, which is again a plus for koharu.

Then does that mean people actually love an H!P song this much?
How does a song do this well, if nobody even watches the anime?

I don't even really see how kirarin could even really compete with most of those classic anime >_>

I think, if balalaika was attached to Sazae-san or Chibi Maruko-chan, the song will take #1 spot in Oricon chart easily.
Sometimes, marketing is very simple.

That's true.

I guess I sorta underestimated the power of anime.

"Kirarin Revolution" is such an unpopular anime that they're producing tons of merchandise and made 2 Nintendo DS games for, but I guess they're just wasting time & money on all this stuff since noone watches it nor buys the goods :rolleyes:

Edit:
TV Tokyo's access ranking of anime sites (correct me if I'm wrong please)

Kirarin is at the bottom, man! :lol:

Koharu event in Tokyo!
800 kids went to watch Koha singing live and handshake hands!

She's on Yahoo's main page!
Nice pimping already.

Finally a H!P act that can live without wotas, and do even better than wotas-supported acts. Hope UFA learns something of this lesson.

Several other news links: sanspo, daily, yomiuri.

Some of these site report that someone(?) said Koharu would have become a comedian if she didn't reach a top 10 place in the Oricon rankings. Probably in jest, but what the...
