I thought it was pretty amazing that the electric guitar made the song sound cooler. Hands up everyone who wants Reina's band to cover this in a rock style.

That song is crap. Any change will likely improve it.

Look at this video and pick the correct archetype!

To get back on topic, here are a couple of videos that have the girls appearing on some show to promote. This one is hilarious because of Reina. Lmao.

Waiting on their Music Japan performance to show up eventually.

My opinion about MM isn't black and white.
I give rating every member and song
1. like
2. not bad
3. dislike

Really gunning for that #1. I hope they get it.
And that they get a rest after that. Pretty exhausting schedule (especially with concerts going on at the same time).

Hats off to Tower Records for supporting them. Not just Morning Musume/H!P but all idols, indie or major.
One of the benefits of the CEO being a Kumai Yurina wota.

Call the song crap all you want, but this little newsbit ain't:
First day sales: 61291 for a #1 ranking

Estrea · « **Reply #67 on:** January 23, 2013, 11:35:23 AM »

^fuck yes! Lmao the first day sales basically outdid some of the entire week's sales for some of the Platinum era singles. I'm glad they got 1st place! So proud ;w;

Now let's hope they keep up the pace and take weekly no.1 as well. I don't doubt they'll break 100k again at the end of the week :3

Edit: I just placed my order for a single. ;w; I haven't bought a single in ages, but I just had to support them this time.

Sayu, Fukuchan and Ayumi as reported on a news channel in Gifu regarding the new single and their handshake event there.

:3 I hope they keep up the momentum and continue promoting aggressively. They desperately need the exposure considering they don't have their own TV program like back in the day anymore. Satoyama Life doesn't really count I think...anyway

Still giddy over the first day sales!

MOAR EDITS COS I CAN.

Some news roundups.

Still giddy. I'll be giddy all night.

Not to put a damper on things but, take a closer look at the date of that Music Station posting.

Unless you're expecting a performance of "Sexy Boy"....

Wasn't really paying attention.

Event at Sunshine City.

Ouch, a drop to #4 today:
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2013-01-23/
With 3rd place selling about 7000 it's a pretty big drop too. Hopefully it's just a one-day hitch...there's still some weekend events, right?

Even better: "Help Me" sold more in its first day than the first week sales of singles 28 through 49--that's everything from "Chokkan 2" to "Renai Hunter"! And that first day outsold the total sales of almost everything since 2005, the exceptions being "Wakuteka", "One Two Three", "Nanchatte Renai", "Kanashimi Twilight", "Iroppoi Jirettai", and "The Manpower"...and a few of those will definitely be surpassed within the next day or two if they haven't already.

Estrea · « **Reply #74 on:** January 24, 2013, 02:35:33 PM »

^Thanks for the stats!

I just had a look at the chart. SuJu's total single sales so far for first and second day combined is only around 55k, and estimating that MM sold around 3-5k in 4th place, that still puts them ahead for the weekly ranking (their first day sales still put them ahead lmao.)

There's actually a reason for the drop in sales. Most of the major music stores are completely sold out on the single. Yes, SOLD OUT. I think they didn't expect the demand. People have been tweeting Tsunku today saying that several places simply don't have it in stock anymore. Places like Sapporo are completely sold out

So it's not that they aren't selling as much, people just can't get a hold of it.

That's good news, right?

Correction: Regular versions A and B are the ones that are completely out of stock. I'm not surprised, because most of the major news sites in Japan keep using those single covers for display pictures.

I wasn't expecting the sales to drop by this much but it makes me feel better knowing that that's because it's sold out in most places

Update from Tsunku's twitter.

たしかに。週末が心配だ。RT @smpl100: @tsunkuboy Help me!!の品不足が深刻です！！各オンラインショップでも軒並み入荷待ち状態。通常版も手に入りません。既存のファンは予約しているので、買えないのは新規のファンです。残念すぎます・・・

Translation: Indeed. I'm worried about the weekend. RT @smpl100: @tsunkuboy I have a strong impression that stocks for Help Me are insufficient! Even online shops are in the process of restocking. I can no longer get my hands on the regular editions. Those who are already fans have already pre ordered, but the new fans are the ones who can't get their hands on a copy. It's really too much of a pity...

More proof that demand has outpaced supply. I hope this doesn't affect their weekly ranking, because supply issues could prove a major stumbling block over the weekend, allowing SuJu to outpace them if stocks are insufficient...

ShiroiChanUK · « **Reply #79 on:** January 25, 2013, 05:57:00 PM »

^ Quite a few of us on H!O have been talking about how even though we pre-ordered their copies they still haven't been shipped yet. Realistically those of us who pre-ordered really should've had our copies shipped first. They really need to re-stock and fast.

Anyway Help Me!! is #1 on Music Stations charts!

and yet they haven't been invited >_<

Come on MoMusu! <3
