Somewhat larger cover photos... It should be noted that all of the c/w tracks (with the exception of Umi Monogatari) are fan favorite songs that she performs regularly at her mini-live events. So needless to say I am really excited about this release.

Looks great as usual. Nice song choices for the coupling tracks. Seems like I'm gonna go back to listening to Genki wo Dashite in Japanese thanks to Wasamin. I've been mostly listening to the Chinese version these past 15 years. Wow I'm getting old.
Update on Wasamin's 9th single release online signing event! Event date and time: Monday, April 20th 1900 JST You only need a Japanese address, and a credit card to participate. (overseas credit card okay, and I am pretty sure a "Tenso address" or something similar is also okay) There are two purchase options, each contains two CDs; the limited version (with DVD) and either of the two "regular" versions The total price is 3990, including shipping. You receive one signed CD per purchase, I am guessing it will be the limited version. There is a field where you can enter what name you wish to be called. The event will be broadcast live on YouTube, and archived so you can watch it later. Wasamin will announce your name as she is signing your CD. This is the website that is conducting the event. https://limista.jp/ Purchases must be completed prior to April 20th. Oh, and keep this in mind...
The single finished at #1 on the weekly Oricon Enka single chart, and 13th on the weekly pop chart. The sales were really low (just under 2000) but so were pretty much every other release. Heck, Exile sold less than 20K. In any case, it's tough to judge sales numbers in the midst of the pandemic. Wasamin was really happy about the ranking. You can read it on her Twitter account.
