Really happy for Mai but

 

1: One week after Manaka's single is a bit weird????

2: WHERE IS MAA SECOND SINGLE COME ON!

 

Is Kiki the next one???

Oh this is a solo single i'm kinda looking firward Mai being my 2nd favorite Country Girls.

So uh, remember my comment about Manaka? Lol

Colour me shock #2!!!! But I am so happy that Mai is also getting a solo single release. Guess it's a good time to be a solo artist with UF now. I guess the members of SIOOM are the official solo artists of M-line music.

 

So uh, remember my comment about Manaka? Lol

YESH!

Is Kiki the next one???

Hmmm, could be. While her being a legitimate member of the M-line club, headlining the M-line concerts and doing hosting work for the M-line music youtube shows, but her picture was never added as a member in the M-line music youtube shows.

haha Management on fire! Congrats Mai!!!  But I hope they don't forget the "old" soloists??? 2nd single releases and so on???

Namida no Tomorrow MV

 

I love the song very much but the MV is so simple, they didn't try much...so bad

 

Still no info for the other main song but since Karin, Risa and Manaka are releasing solo vers of C/C, you can expect one of the additional tracks to be her own solo Ver. too.

Finally, the second main song, the covers and additional tracks are here!

 

Additional tracks:

Type A: Owakare no KISS (お別れのKISS)

Type B: Main Cast (メインキャスト)

Type C: C\C (Cinderella\Complex) '24 Ozeki Mai Solo Ver.

 

Here is the MV of Yes! Hare Yohou

 

Here is Mai being the weirdo neighbour who doesn't want to let you in peace The aesthetic of the MV is really cute tho.

 

Finally had time to check out both MVs and is it just me or do they both kinda have the country girls sound with the retro sound

^ It doesn't quite give me Country Girls vibes, but there's definitely retro-y feeling stuff happening in both of them.

ORICON First day: #6 (with #3 at +27K)

I like her debut Single. Every Song is good! B-Sides are very nice!
Congrats to your debut!

I really enjoy "Namida No Tomorrow". It's a very solid debut for her. Hopefully her sales figure will be decent to warrant another one.

I feel it's a bad idea to release hers so closely after Manaka. Should have scheduled hers in May.

I haven't listened to the whole single yet but I'm  curious.

 

Also, Oricon Day 2 at #17.

Billboard first 3 Days: #5 with 14,177 copies.

Wow, though her Oricon ranking doesn't look good but the sales from Billboard look pretty good. Even more than Risa's last single.

I was worried for Mai but looks like she is in good hands. Seems like Country Girls' members are very much well-loved (as they should).

Yesterday, she was out of top 30, back at #12 today

Tomorrow we'll have the whole week numbers.

Sadly Mai hasn't the impact like Manakan but hr debut single is good I hope they give her more chances
