First day sales:
26,411!http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2011-09-13/more/1/But EXILE is also releasing a single, topping the first day and will probably take the whole week, so no #1 this time...still, double the first day sales of the previous single and most since "Nanchatte Renai" (which also got denied #1 due to a bigger act showing up).

But graduation buzz aside, the songs themselves are worthy of attention. Somehow the combo of H!P and a disco-revival sound that just works--Kono Chikyuu no Long-ass Title™ is a straight up awesome song with the funky grooves of the verses and the upbeat vibe of the chorus. Though I keep getting a Mario Kart Rainbow Road feel when the happy music combines with the star-filled CGI-driven video.

And the other song (don't feel like looking up the title), while I don't like as much, is pretty damn catchy in its own right with one hell of a trippy video, going all Momusu-ception with all the rewinding dreams within the dreams (and Sayu's floating head kinda creeps me out). Tsunku and company really stepped things up for this one.
Even though I'm still meh about Aichan's solo song, I will say that performance on Coming Soon was pretty damn good...though I shouldn't expect less from her.
