[2012.12.26] Ono Erena - 3rd Single "Say!! Ippai"

[Rust]

To quote from Everyday48:

Ono Erena 小野恵令奈
3rd Single
[ Say!! Ippai ] Say!!いっぱい
2012/12/26 Release



Warner Music Japan

Same release date as Kasai!

[Crossing Crossroads]

ex-Team K Ono Erena vs. Team K Kasai? ...

[SomethingWild]

Queen and Elizabeth: 21,179 --> two and a half years ago

Iwasa Misaki - Mujin Eki: 23,773 --> lowest selling AKB48 solo artist (excluding graduated members)

Ono Erena - Erepyon: 25,740
Ono Erena - Erenyan: 10,980 --> 57% drop from her first single sales

So yeah... Even though they are both 2nd generation AKB48 members gone solo, I doubt there will be much competition in terms of a sales battle.

^yeah there prolly won't be a contest, althou it will be a lot more interesting if it is.

Anyways, look at this cover!


I don't know about you folks, but I myself really really like it!
This is for type B cover. The rest of the covers are updated on the Warner Music Japan site too, but they're really small thou.
In the order of A, B, C, & Regular, from left to right:

Edit: found them all in proper size!

Preview/Ad for Say!! Ippai! Me quite like it actually, but it looks like they auto-tuned her voice again.
Methink they don't need to auto-tune her, Erena's vocal is pretty good as it stand imo.

It sounds like a Kikkawa You song, but more upbeat.

Is it me or is there very little hype over this single?

It's gonna be a battle for fifth. However, I think the sales are more important this time... Ideally, she has to break 10K.

Ninth place on first day thou, gotta say that is pretty awful..
