This is catchy as hell, I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE THIS SINGLE!
Now I really want to see both dance shots because they've gotta be incredible :in-love:

It's not Tsunku, it's Japan. Plenty of lyrics have different readings of kanji even if that's not "really" how they should be read.
"Maji" for "honki" is done 50% of the time, I'd say. It's easily one of the more common ones.
Let's just be happy he doesn't do what a lot of Johnnys songs have - English words sung as "Japanese" or whatever, those are annoying.

Yep, it's whole Japan. And it's not only for music and stuff, japanese apply these word-plays to everything, and it's really great!(it's constantly seen in manganime world too)


Question aside, but still related to this and even the single: I'm curious, how do you know when to read "力" as chikara or as a simple ka?

^ I'm no expert but if it's kanji then it's read as chikara. But if katakana, it's 'ka'. It really depends on the word and sentence when it's mixed with kanji or foreign word.

Though the dance for the single this time doesn't give me 'wow' factor, I'm still looking forward to seeing the dance shots. Especially Password.

As for the sales, I'm pretty confident it'll reach #1 again.

It's just "Yumemiru Fifteen". No "sai" on the end or anything.

(And it bothers me that lots of people still write it as Yumemiru 15sai. It's Yumemiru 15 (or Fifteen, whichever) dammit!)

but in kanji it has sai, though. lol.

カ(ka) and 力 (chikara) aren't written nor printed exactly the same. Chikara is broader. Look at them together:

カカカ 力力力

Anyway, it's like 0O (zero oh) and lI (lower case L, capital I). Context will make it clear what's what.
