She's more recognized for her anime name. I saw it coming...

Well I think Balalaika is a song that many people liked, not just kids. I mean, when we were kids, and something was
in, we wanted it inmediatly, right? It wasn't the same feel to get
that thing on the release week, or one later, or two later, etc. And yet Balalaika's still on the charts eleven weeks later! And another thing to keep in mind: Balalaika's #1 on karaokes, and it's not like kids get drunk and go to karaokes
So I think there's the chance that this song sells to elder people who are starting to notice it. Let's recognize Balalaika's one of the best songs of H!P this year.
For what you say, reyfer, a release under her real name wouldn't have the same effect. Unless the song would be awesome (like Sakuranbo, for example) and there would be a big promotion (top-rated dorama, f.e). After all, we know she's not the fav of the mo-wota. So I agree she should keep the Kirari tie-in a little bit more. For how long? We already have two singles and this album-to-be. Maybe the series ends
