The album is soooo good! And the videos are super cute! I love the lyrics... So relatable They cheered me up  

I'll definitely follow Pink Cres. from now on! I hope they release more awesome songs! 

[give me aiai]

i'm glad it took so long to hear stuff about them because it was entirely worth the wait 

please dont let them die like lovendor please i need my kamioshi in my life

I really like Pink Cres a lot! Kirei kawai Mirai is my jam.

They remind me of E-girls and C-ute's cute concepts (The ones later in their career like "Ai wa Marude") because in both groups, the members dress really fashionably.

Also, like C-ute, the girls just seem to act their age. Like they don't have this "cutesy" act that a lot of other idol groups put on (not that that's a bad thing). 

Hoping they do really well!

Fetched my album from the post office today and I'm listening to the album for the 2nd time now. It's much better than what I expected!

 

I only listened to Pink Cres music on my Mac so far. And while my speakers are really okay it seems like I missed just how well the music was produced for this album! When you listen to the album on a good cd-player you can hear that it has some late 90s US pop quality. Which isn't outstanding in general. It's just really outstanding for H!P/UF acts. There are actual instruments and a beat that's really well integrated and that will get you pumped.

 

Many songs feel like they are from some Beni Arashiro or Namie Amuro album. It's this nice Japanese RnB sound that gets you easily addicted.

 

I wasn't convinced I spent my money well when I bought this album. Actually I only wanted to support this nice and for UF proportions unusual group. But now I'm fully sold. I think everyone should give them a chance and try listening to their music with good speakers

If you liked the songs, check out Platinum. https://www.facebook...inum39official/

 

I'm not 100% sure how the group shifts work when it comes to producing but they're responsible for four of the 9 tracks, fun fun fun, LOVE CANDY, Tell me why & Summer Wonderland

[cornyflakes]

I'm listening to LOVE CANDY and the song reminds me of Britney Spears lol
Overall this album is amazing, love the sound!

[miyooooons]

^ Love Candy is great! To me the instrumental sounds almost identical to Run Devil Run by Girls' Generation.

[otaku2009]

I see that love candy is fans favourite best song ! (me included )
Yes there is definitely Britney vibes ( if you seek amy)

Anyone knows how much this sold? It's been a while since it was released... I'm curious about how well they did.

[Nayok-Kihara]

^ The album's Oricon weekly rank was #150, sales total was 564.

[JPope]

Ouch. That's just not fair. 

[rinafest'19]

We'll never know how much it actually sold because I'm sure they sold a decent amount at the Buono! concert

[Nayok-Kihara]

Second week on Oricon:
Rank: 195
Sales: 346
Total: 910

^ Well, that's an improvement, at least it's close to 1,000... I still think they deserved more, though, they're a good group and the album has some great songs. But yeah, maybe they sold a nice amount at the pre-release sale (not sure if those really don't get counted in these results, I never paid much attentio to those details)... How well or bad do you say this did in comparison to other releases by other UF groups? Anyone has an idea?

[taylorniw]

Lovender's first mini sold about 2k and it was also indies. Couldn't find out the sales numbers for Bitter&Sweet's on their wiki. CBC last full album sold almost 4k, but their's wasn't indie.

 

H!P struggles to sell albums, the Up Front groups have it even worse. The fact that it was indies also pretty much guaranteed the numbers weren't gonna blow anyone's mind.

[LittleBerry]

^ And I thought they had a better chance than LovendoR due to their pop style Not sure if Reina's popularity has anything to do either (where are all the Miya wota when you need them? ) but oh well... at least it's close to 1,000...

Hm, yeah I wasn't expecting spectacular sales but come on, just a little more guys....

[taylorniw]

It may have. I think they did some small high five events. I don't know if Pink Cres did any incentive type events.

[LittleBerry]

Just in case someone wants to listen to this without going to a torrent site

 

 

Now that I've finally heard the whole album, I get why so many people liked LOVE CANDY, at first the song I liked the most from them was Warning ~Mirai Keihou~ (coolness all the way), then Kirei Kawai Mirai appeared and I fell in love... and now it's LOVE CANDY (and Katasumi is not bad either). Geh, SERIOUSLY how come such a good album couldn't sell more? (did the sales raise just a little above 910 ever since?)

 

*Sigh* I'm just hoping the best for them in the future~They're a great group.

[otaku2009]

Im waiting for their first tour...

[MimiChama]

We have no idea of telling how much they sold since I'm guessing most of their sales were from Buono!'s YokoAri early release, which wouldn't be counted.

Similarly not counted are digital sales and event-sales (there is a certain amount of copies per person rule or something like that?)

I'd definitely say that they hit 1000 since they sold out their first concert (roughly 800 people) and some were complaining that they had a hard time finding tickets/ couldn't find any.
