This article is only a brief introduction to her video, describing her eager attitude and lovely smile as winning her fans of all genders. The article linked below it describes her rise to popularity in the "Era of the Pudgy Girls," stating that Japanese talents and performers had previously been limited to stylish young women, but larger women are now taking their place as household names. Zukki is a prominent idol fitting into this pudgy category and her diehard fans seem to increasing. 2ch creates threads every time a new photo of her surfaces, including a recent one that obtained over 2000 posts in the span of 4 days. Zukki also appeared in a popular magazine for "Pudgy celebrities you like," which spawned a great debate on the internet. Many people support her, saying that she is fine just how she is, "a symbol of peace," while others vehemently oppose her, saying that she is fat no matter how you look at her and mocking her position in Morning Musume, claiming that despite previous pudgy periods of Abe, Kago, and Yoshizawa, Zukki is the biggest yet. 
 
 
So, regardless of the debates and hate comments, her popularity is on the rise as a result of her figure.

So happy for everyone involved (the girls, the fans, the staff)!

[ShiroiChanUK]

What makes me more happy than anything is that I look at these great sales and they remind me that I'm one of the many people who contributed to them and ultimately the joy that MoMusu has been expressing

Does anyone else feel like this?

[john_hung]

^ well sayu declared war - that means we are part of the army 

[Mage77]

#4 on Oricon today. Most likely due to the single being sold out everywhere. Hopefully they get more copies shipped to stores as soon as possible.

[XcuteX26262X]

They're #1 today with 24324 copies sold.

[shirenuファクトリー]

Wait whaaatt! I guess they managed to ship out more copies?!? That's amazing

[Chibs]

^the selling of the box sets is what caused the jump or at least thats the speculation

wow 24k. that is freaking huge.

it will beat Momoiro Clover Z's best selling single 133k. i was just thinking about how they needed a boost to beat it yesterday and it happened in a snap. wow.

it passed AS ONE FOR DAY on the total list now.

hnghh that number is awesome! It's been a veeeryyy long time since MM managed that kind of number in a single day outside the day of release :yahoo:

--snip--
If this number is correct then it's a pretty good second day but it doesn't lend much confidence for >150 first week if previous patterns hold.
--snip--

This crow tastes good

So now we're at..

There's also a Yahoo headline article acknowledging the surge of new female Morning Musume fans and the group's new break

[Mage77]

Well, I guess a lot of places managed to fill out their orders at last. There's still two days left too, could even creep our way towards 150k before the week is over.

How does the boxset work by the way? It counts as 8 copies or something?

[Chibs]

I think so...

[Mage77]

I'm not sure whether that's cheating or just genius marketing.

[SomethingWild]

I'm amazed people are actually buying those boxsets, so in that sense it's definitely genius marketing.

All the bonus clips from all the bonus DVDs could easily fit on one disc, so all you get really is a lot of discs with similar content and different covers and a cardboard box. It's the old value for money beef I have with H!P story again 

That aside, I'm glad this one if doing so well 

[shirenuファクトリー]

^^ Can't be cheating if everyone does it/is able to do it

[XcuteX26262X]

Down to #2 today...

[Mage77]

So probably somewhere around 140k for the week? Not bad, not bad at all.

[AmberSan]

on 9/6 at 7pm, Sayu, Eripon, Haruna, Ayumi, and Sakura will be guests live on Ameba Studio

Stick another 6k onto the total, just for fun.

[Mage77]

That's great, I'm really happy for the girls. Hopefully they can keep building on this and improve their sales numbers and media exposure even more.
