I love this MV so f****** much. Rika looks so amazing, Kawagoe apoeared near to the front & Nara Miharu actually appeared in this MV. The Rika solo parts between those cloudy pillows are the best. Hopefully Hinata, Ogoe, Kawagoe & the Tashima Meru lookalike continue pushing the group forward as fast as they can. Btw, I noticed that most of the less attractive girls have a tendency of bekng pushed to the back. & I noticed, that Furusawa Mana is too beautiful to be put in between the less attractive girls.
These are weird exemples. One vanished from entertainment, while the other is doing well as a soloist. There's quite a gap between these 2. Day 4: 2nd https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2023-08-04/ Day 5: 27th https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2023-08-05/p/3/ Day 6: 16th https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/d/2023-08-06/
Week 1: 52,241 CD sold Which is around 9k increase from the previous exercise (or 20%) https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/js/w/2023-08-14/
The amount of CD's sold by NGT48 are very good if we think on the size of the market: Niigata is the 10th market in size in Japan. they are doing a great job.
I have one concern. Hopefully, someone from the Wiki's editors sees this. It stresses me, that Nara Miharu is listed as not participating in this single, both, on the single's wiki itself & where the amount of senbatsu placements is count. She participated. The only thing, where she was missing, were the single's covers. In the MV she got one of the longest screen times from all members. She is over represented. So how can she be listed as "not participating"?. Same thing about Odaeri in Ne Mo Ha Mo Rumor. She is very well visible in the MV, as a member of the first row. Even if she originally wasn't intended to be part, in the end she was. Asai Yuka on the other hand wasn't part of SKE48's pre-last single, and Sato Kaho & Maaya were absent from Kokoro ni Flower due to covid. Why are they listed? It makes no sense, it is frustrating.
