Coming out right after their 9th anniversary as a group...I wonder if there will be anything special for this.

And I just got the want single two days ago...

This sounds much like the next thai pop cover that was mentioned during their last Thailand trip.

The release month is also momochi bday celebration month :p

Wow as I was listening to this song I received a call informing me that I have been hired at my dream job as an ABA therapist. There was definitely a celebration going on after that.

It is official, this is my new song of 2013 lol

I haven't listened to the song yet but congrats on your job!

That random falsetto in the verses sounds really awkward.

Maybe it'll sound less awkward in the studio version or later on when the group will have already performed this song regularly.

So far I'm not excited about this song, but then again I wasn't excited for "Want!" or "Help Me!!" at first either.

And congrats on the new job!

^ Yurina and Captain are especially looking good here.

But Miyabi's weirding me out with whatever she did with her eyes.

Well, once again I'm liking a song more as a whole than when all I heard was a preview.

The falsettos in the verses are more tolerable this time, though I'd rather do with less of them, as well as a different drum beat. But still a good song overall, worthy of a celebration.

Do not like it very much

the song, pv and dance. There is this one dance move (hands/arms up hands/arms down) I literally hate.
The English words are funny but yeah.

Looking forward to the c/w

I hope the new pretty cure movie will boost up this single's sales. It's the first berryz song I actually like and it deserves to be a hit. The mv is pretty good too, Risako is hot.

In addition to rina's daily sale ranks I heard they sold a lot this time.

8th place weekly sales, selling 28218 copies. A good amount for Berryz.
Quite a surprise for me since I'm not very fond of the main track.

However since my last post... I got version D via speed delivery (amazon.co.jp) two days ago (the rest slow via cdjapan for the poster).
First time I got to listen to asian celebration and "i like a picnic" in cd quality. Now I rate asian celebration as "okay" and "i like a picnic" very good.
There is still the other c/w I don't know yet but in combination with i like a picnic asian celebration certainly deserves high sales.
