Passing Iroppoi Jirettai, they've already outsold all of their singles since 2004.

One Two Three performance on Happy Music, watch it before it gets taken down!

The sales sound amazing ("they've already outsold all of their singles since 2004") because I became a fan in 2004.

Whoa. I know this single selling better than they have for years doesn't mean that they will continue to sell better, but I'm still dying to say the following sentence...

...... I thought Morning Musume was supposed to be a "sinking ship"?

I've been told that basically since I became a fan. I'm going to embrace this moment of "neener neener" to max effect.

Reina and Riho still sound better live than their roboversions, IT'S CRAZY

The emphasis should be on "was supposed to"

"sinking ships" can revive, you know

So instead of "neener neener", shouldn't us fans embrace the possibility of the revival/return of the "1997-2004 Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" Age of glory

Is H!P competing with itself this week???
http://solidforce.co.jp/?p=623
According to this article/blog thingy, long-time H!P/Momusu single arranger Hideyuki "Daichi" Suzuki did the arrangements for both the Yamapi and Super Girls singles that are charting right now! You may remember Daichi from such hits as "Do It! Now", "Koko ni Iruzee", "Go Girl Koi no Victory", "Resonant Blue", and "Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai", tackling a variety of music genres and styles along the way.

But I think this is Kaoru Okubo's year now. His (or her? Kaoru sounds like a girl's name) past works, the likes of "Naichau Kamo", "Kimagure Princess", "Seishun Collection", etc. have been hit with mixed reactions and relatively low sales...but now he can also claim fame for his involvement with the buzzworthy "Cho Happy Song" mashup and "One Two Three" getting lots of love from fans en route to being the highest-selling Momusu single in nearly a decade. As much as I've wanted Dance Man to return to the fold, perhaps I can wait a little bit longer...

I personally think it's still a bit too early to be celebrating a full-fledged return to glory, that we should wait how the next single or two perform as a more solid indicator of success...but considering how certain people (you know who you are), both here and elsewhere, JUST WOULDN'T SHUT UP about Morning Musume being dead in the water with no hope at all as if they want to see H!P crash and burn, I'm totally okay with fans feeling the need to counter-gloat.

People lined up to see the Titanic sinking, instead they rose up from the ash like a phoenix...

Omg I'm beyond happy right now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally finally MM has risen from the ashes of OG and started something new and glorious! I get such a fresh and new vide from this current generation and not only that the new girls have really interesting personalities. From hello-pro wota's and fan girls to dancing queens all of them are quite unique. So proud of MM and tsunku

That's just the daily ranking for 7/7, actually (it lists 6098 copies sold). We'll probably find out the sales for the last day in a few hours and the final weekly ranking shortly after.

EDIT: 3,856 for Sunday (ranked #2), bringing the total to 98,703! But I think we still have one more day before the weekly total is finalized. Unless something ridiculous happens, we're all but guaranteed to see Momusu's first six-figure opening week in ten years!

Quote from: Tokyohive

On July 8th, Nakazawa Yuko made a guest appearance at Morning Musume’s release event for their latest single, “One・Two・Three / The Mantenrou Show“.

Wearing a long white dress that hid her pregnant stomach, Nakazawa smiled as the crowd called out, “Yuko!” and “Congratulations!” When asked if her baby (if a girl) would be joining Morning Musume in the future, she answered, “I’ve never thought about it, but if they will be long-lasting, it’s possible.”

Nakazawa expressed, “Lately, I feel the baby moving inside of me. I’m a little uneasy since I will be giving birth at an old age, but I’ve been talking about it with other moms who were in the same situation.“ She also shared, ”Recently, I saw Mikitty’s [Fujimoto Miki] baby at the office. It seemed difficult. When I saw her breast-feeding, I thought that’s how I’m going to be. I’m reassured to have a senpai mama.”

“One・Two・Three / The Mantenrou Show” is Morning Musume’s 50th single, and it celebrates the 15th anniversary of their debut. Nakazawa reflected, “I was reckless. 15 years ago, some members that weren’t even born yet!” She continued by telling the members, “In the past, I hated being called mom, but now, I’m almost a mom. Everyone is like a daughter to me, so I am supporting you.”

Nakazawa encouraged the newest leader Michishige Sayumi, saying, “Shige-chan, I think it’s really difficult, but please overcome this pressure. It will be okay! I am cheering you on!” In response, Michishige broke out into tears and hugged Nakazawa.

When asked about being a leader, Nakazawa advised, “I think there were all kinds of leaders, but you don’t have to copy somebody to be a good leader. Hold onto your heart, and do your best with Reina. Don’t cry!” Then she said to the fans, “Also, everyone’s power. Things really change with everyone’s support, so please take care of them!”
