I dont get how there could be such a low ranking with such a successful event.

I feel like too much emphasis is put on pre-orders and not enough for during the week or something....Idk what to think of these up and down rankings :S

[teth]

It just means that there are not enough casual fans buying during the week...

There are good Oda hairstyles, and not-so-good Oda hairstyles.



Heeee? Ishida's 17? How did I forget that. I would've bet money she was a few months younger than Ikuta.

Also, those little circles don't bother with the "１４" business. Not that I care, but I'm surprised UF okay with letting things slip this early.

I hope they take care of themselves

Well, I am pretty sure that no matter how much stuff they add, the shortened name will still be "momusu" because it's easier and faster than "morning musume one four" you know what i mean? So, probably it's gonna just stick as "momusu" as their nickname thing.
Just like Berryz is "Berryz" and not "Berryz Koubou" because it's easier to just say Berryz, and why Juice=Juice is just J=J.

Think about it this way:
If they post the ranking on wednesday morning, (well, in america it's wednesday morning, but in japan it's tuesday late at night...) then it MUST be for sales on tuesday, because they don't know the sales that happened on wednesday.
So, it works like this:
Wednesday: Tuesday's Sales
Thursday: Wednesday's Sales
Friday: Thursday's Sales
Saturday: Friday's Sales.

IF you are in Japan, it will be Tuesday Night: Tuesday Sales, etc...
But for other places in the world, it'll be like I said above...



I'm not too happy with today's sales... They aren't going to break 144 at this rate... >.<
