And from what I've seen none of the current members commented on her birthday!

[onesnowyday]

Not all of them, but some did  

Looks like Amita is really enjoying that beer(?). lol

^ she is so absolutely lovely ..
Really nice CM ..

Ase to Namida no Cinderella Story only debuted at #14. They even lost to Ange Reve. This is extremely embarrassing for a flagship group of Idol Street. They need to step up their promotion.

I think the problem here is the center ..
I think she is not a very popular girl and therefore cannot really carry the group ..
so ..

I am so kidding ..

the reason .. 2 words ..

MUSIC CARD ..

All their sales that relates promotions are music cards which is totally not counted on Oricon ..

[Moklar]

Didn't know SG did music cards!

 

But lets face it none of the Idol Street groups have any real backup from management at all at this point - it's a long time since any of them had a PV with any kind of budget (compare them to recent BiSH videos).

[Ares13]

Unfortunately .. their main event promote item is the music cards
And they cost 1000yen per piece same as if its CD ..

Spoiler

Music cards is a very Avex thing ..
I dunno but I think they own the rights or invested in the technology for music cards
In the beginning, Oricon do count Music cards as the reasoning is same as CD where you buy an item which require another item to draw the music out of the item so it was not considered as digital ..
Oricon did count it like for 2-3 years then they decide not to.. I think Oricon screwed Avex for this one

I think music cards gives them a much better margin so more revenue ..

I guess iDOL Street is really swimming now ..
They got to make the money to sustain and survive ..
Looking good ain't that important now ..

[Moklar]

iDOL Street seems to be a giant ripoff, everything is through some kind of paywall these days at least with SG.

 

It seems like they are only catering to their base fans now and not even trying to get new ones.

[Moklar]

Not even in top 30 on day two

[Ares13]

^ how about we panic after we see the weekly result on Billboard

Maybe that would give a better view ..

 

But honestly, seem to me iDOL Street is concentrating on Wa-Suta ..

which is logical considering they are a smaller group which is cheaper and easier to manage and they are doing well ..

[Moklar]

Well to be honest I couldn't see that song doing well in the first place - I like it but it's not single material.

 

And they need to break out the swimsuits even if it's winter, that'll help

does anyone know where i can watch the full pv for the new single?

[RenaiDestiny。]

I know that the sales and rankings are a bit worrying, but with SUPER GIRLS taking a dip in sales, Cheeky Parade losing members and barely being able to chart themselves and GEM having to cancel so many events with the whole scandal going on, it's safe to say that iDOL Street is going through their Platinum era phase. That phase lasted about five years for Hello! Project, and even though  they haven't been able to get to the level they used to be at since, so I really think iDOL Street can make it through. Especially if they're under a company like Avex. However, these are the consequences they'll have to face since Avex doesn't want to promote them as well as they should. Seriously, SUPER GIRLS shouldn't have to rely on bikini singles to make something sell. They are a really strong group and I know that if Avex pushed them and gave them more opportunities, they could be reeeeeally popular. This is just another wake up call for their management to get their act together and unfortunately all of the girls are going to have to suffer from it.

[Ares13]

Actually .. I have been wondering about the iDOL Street structure ..
For some reason, I notice that Higuchi-P twitter is very focus on Wa-Suta only ..
In his description he never mention iDOL Street anymore, only Avex Management ..
I also notice that SUPER GiRLS also does not see have have anything tag to iDOL Street anymore, bascially only Avex Management again ..
Wa-Suta does not tag iDOL Street too ..
Basically seem only Cheeky Parade and GEM are the only ones still tag with iDOL Street ..
I am not sure .. hope its just me being paranoid

Anyway .. the SUPER GiRLS single is pretty good to me ..
As in recent time, I am short of money, I decide to go digital with music to save on the delivery ..
So I got the single from itunes ..
The main song "Ase to namida no Cinderella Story" sounds a typical Supage song, its ok but ya not very special ..
the 2nd song "It's Only You" is a slower.. ballad like song .. its really refreshing, pretty upbeat and quite a good song ..
Overall.. I think the single is pretty good

[Moklar]

does anyone know where i can watch the full pv for the new single?

I might upload it later today if there is a general interest.

 

EDIT: any good private trackers (probably can't post it here so PM me).

 

Also I noticed in the "making of" that they did do individual versions I wonder why iStreet/avex never released them.

In other new Koume has won #1 for every month this year so congrats to her.

Oricon weekly #27 with 4,138 sold

 

(comparison this week Chu☆Oh!Dolly debuted at #1 with 4,387 sold on the first day)

[WatanabeXYamada27]

It also doesn't help Ange Reve is the best selling female idol group for that week! Especially when Ange Reve is a third generation (Keyakizaka, Wa-suta, Hoopers, Batten, Maneki Kecak, Osaka SSFW, etc.) idol group!
