Similar to Krusha... a job is one of the many balls a person has to simultaneously juggle. The "job ball" is one that will bounce back. It sucks. But you'll be OK.

Oh God! That's terrible! I was really wondering and quite worried why you have not been active this couple of days! Wish you all the best, the S/mileage threads are empty without you...

Both of the above are fair points; I'll agree to them.

@Tuhis: Nogi is what failure? For not outselling AKB? So all H!P groups are failure as well? Nogi has become one of the best selling music acts of Japan, latest single sold over 300,000 units. They don't need to outsell AKB, the rival portion is a joke in my opinion though. But this is another group Akimoto has that can become a platform for whatever fan that may get tired of AKB and keep them on grasp. I've seen a couple of those fans already.

@angonoa: The 48 name along with the varied number of editions for HKT's singles may give the push to it's sells. However, let it be left clear here than none of these aspects say anything against the quality of the group, only speaks about the current state of the musical business and how hard it is for unknown new groups to get sells by simply releasing stuff.

Depends on the seeder's preference, I suppose.

Smart, not to single out the expectancies of potential seeder.
Sep 28 2013 05:16 PM

Lurkette

Exactly. S/mileage has very few seeders in general, so I need to be prepared for anything.

And yeah, on tumblr someone once asked me "Why is it oishii? Delicious member? What does that even mean??!"

I died.

Or, if we're still mixing Japanese and English, tasty gentlemen. Mmm.

But it is basically lip-syncing, the only difference being that the people in the audience actually got to hear it live. If I want to see a concert, I want to hear the sort of energy and performance quality that comes forth from live singing, as opposed to a coached and pitch-corrected live recording. Especially in the case of idols.

well listen to the audio recording done by fans, but this isn't something that is "especially done in the case of idols". Its done by every single music group in the world.
Sep 05 2013 12:14 AM

Lurkette

You didn't even read what I said, clearly. "Especially in the case of idols" refers to my desire to hear the energy of the live in the vocals. I even agreed that it isn't something limited to idols in a previous comment (literally the one above yours). Also, fan recordings are garbage, and no, not "every single music group in the world" does it. Not even close. Please do not comment if you cannot adequately read and form a coherent argument.
