Great song from Erina, the range and pace really suits her voice- and the seriousness is a nice contrast to her upbeat songs.

Manomania Moving Masterfully!!!

Song for the DATE debuted at #9 on the charts today!  :thumbup Some tough competition from her fellow idols Eibsu Muscats and Momoiro CloverZ, though.


EDIT
2nd day ranking: 10th place

"Song for the Date" finishes the week at #7 with about 12,000 units sold:

Highest ranking since "Genkimono de Ikou!" two years ago, sales on par with her other recent singles.

An article providing some insight behind the concept of "black" and "white" Mano:
http://www.kawaii-girl.jp/feature/20522?lang=en (http://www.kawaii-girl.jp/feature/20522?lang=en)

Amidst the buzz of Berryz Kobo's second American appearance and Momusu's new single, this song was also premiered for us during the pre-concert warmup in New Jersey. It's interesting to see how much contrast is going on with this single, not just the black/white concept, but the hard-hitting electronic beat meshing with Mano's typically gentle vocals, and the video having such a high-concept theme for a song that's supposedly for a date. :lol: But yeah, it has definitely grown on me since then, definitely sitting amongst my most liked songs of hers.
