    FFFFF I HATE YOU. XD

    ...No it's okay but seriously I might go insane if I can't get Akicha's card anywhere... ;______; I'm crazy about getting all 3 members' cards... >.< I have them for all the other singles which I got first press of. @.@ What bugs me is having doubles and not having as much variety as I can get. >.<

    ...This happened with my Manatsu no Sounds good! photos too... >.< I got 4 Yuko photos and I can't get rid of the 3 extras!!! >.< /offtopicsorry

    LOL this stuff just bugs me... =P Seriously if anyone IS willing to part with theirs please let me know. >.<

    I might just have to spend MORE money on CDs until I get an Akicha card, but I can't afford it so I dunno what I can do. >.<

    Wow I really like Rainy Day! It's one of their best songs ever I think.

    I'm highly disappointed in the sales count. I really thought they'd do better, but then again they didn't really promote their new single that much. (Compared with "Soredemo Suki Dayo")

    I suppose this is what happens when you don't release a single for quite some time. :/

    I lol'd at how the announcer in the baseball video, he said "Nice Pitch!" after Mocchi pitched :^^;:

    What is wrong? It's far from my expectation. :cry: Compared to Saisho no Mail, it's lack of promotions.

    Not only does it lack promotions but FK members themselves lack promotions for the past ~7-8 months or so. After Saisho no Mail everything got quiet regarding them. >.<

    well, many factors contributing to the lower sales. Less promotional activities, less money from the fans since it's released past election :p

    I think it's okay... probably because I'm more than used to seeing low number of sales lol.

    not that ,
    i guess this past and next 2 month, there is so much money too use.
    i think fans decide to use the money wisely for now, it is for FK' sake too in the future.

    ^While I agree that a lot of fans might still be suffering from some sort of post-sousenkyo recession, Yuki88 and xinchun also bring up good points. Even after ranking third, Yukirin hasn't done as much outside of usual AKB member activities for a while. She has only recently begun promoting herself, but it's more geared towards her solo than French Kiss. That just leaves the three of them taking turns with the weather.

    Hopefully management will try to push the next single more. At least the sales are better than Zutto Mae Kara. :^^;:

    (On a side note, I've got to wait until September to get my copy, but Rainy Day has been growing on me. It's a shame they didn't move much at all during the performance.)

    Wow, the gap between 2nd and 3rd is so close. And now they ranked third [sweat]
    I guess the problem is in the promotional and selling ranges. At least after seeing those close dates of release, wota would think twice before spending their money for any of the single. NO NAME, Mayu's solo, Album, 27th single, FK, and etcetera.

    Kazanbai is so good. Her voice especially when singing ballad is just perfectly fits for my ears :awesome:

    Well its a bit of everything really, the promotion for this single was quite alot but with that gap which was so epically long, it's almost as if they were starting again as a group but without the 'excitement' of them being new.....

    I think perhaps money played it's part too, there was some burn out in that spell so yeah that did not help either.....

    I have a nasty feeling that Yuki's solo debut during the build up did not help either, nice way to take interest away from the FK single! :fp:

    So basically everyone is right as it was everything that contributed, probably best just to move on I would say.....

    Does anyone have the theater version to share with both the vocal and the instrumental track of Yukirin solo?

    So does this mean the theater version actually doesn't include the instrumental track for this track?
