Well the unpredictability of Tsunku's latest songs keep me on my toes. Remember that UFP has A LOT of Tsunku songs in the vault -- including the genki happy ones. I've always had an impression that MM will always sell a single with one of the tracks being Tsunku's because that's always been, in marketing speak, their Unique Selling Proposition. Even if you put in a Kodama Ameko or a Nakajima Takui as the main A, the other supporting A-side will be a Tsunku.
None of the Tsunku recent songs have been popular here
I honestly thought K&K was ok here?
On another note, the office may still experiment with the MV being released closer to the release date since YouTube and YouTube Music now counts as part of Oricon charts (3 regular account streams = 1 point, 1 Premium YouTube account stream = 1 point, Japan only). Looks like we'd have to setlle with that one Junjou Evidence performance but I hope that isn't the case lol
