The Middle management and Tsugi no Kado are still really boring imo.

SKE48 and NMB48 both release a day early on 3/31 (Why? to cheat Oricon? I don't know.). And its a bit early still for 4/1, but competition is Baby Raids Japan, CANDY ISLAND, kiryu, Doll Elements, Tamura Yukari, Hirofumi Araki, Nakano Fujo Sisters

both SKE48 and NMB48 are 1 and 2 today because they released a day early to settle their "rivalry". The best C-ute could do is #3 this coming week.

music card system gets banned on 4/6.

Honestly, fuck *48 but to a lesser extent fuck UF*. At this point C-ute should have a #1, their sales in any other non *48, Johnny's week would grab them a #1. UF* at this point could have done some strategic maneuvering aka Avex Magic and moved around releases.

It sucks that C-ute deserves it but haven't had one yet.

if it hits iTunes.

Seems like 'Gamusha LIFE' is missing (so far).
iTunes is giving me a partial album.

Having #1 was MM's thing (and one of their biggest promotion tool) for the last two-three years. To have a sister group have one too (with lower sales at that) would make MM's #1 streak look less spectacular. So they chose, strategically, weeks where #1 is clearly out of reach.

WHAAAAAAAAT!

After the dry spell of 2010/2011 this is our year ! Go team C-ute

[otaku_blue]

funnily enough, both 48 groups released a day early (because of their labels) and so C-ute got to debut with #1!

IM SO FRIGGIN PROUD THOUGH GO C-UTE THEY DESERVED IT. This single was hella great, great songs, great PVs, great girls, great everything. I just wished they got to perform these songs on TV more besides The GIrls Live.
I wish they could get on Music Station ASAP BECAUSE THEY DESERVE IT TBQH.

C-ute is still in the game. Maybe this year they will actually sinch a weekly number one.

Even if it just lasts for one day, this is a great symbolic victory for the girls. And hopefully a harbinger of cracks in the AKEmpire. (Had to click on that link to make sure Sutala wasn't pranking us, tho.)
