Beat no Wakusei is very pleasant. Kaedii is the star of this song, finally getting the long-deserved push. Everyone was thrown a bone for this song which is pretty nice.

BnW for me is comparable to Futari Ginza in that they're both a step away from the usual MM formula, but not a big enough step to make any impact to the groups identity overall. 
 
I feel like in MM singles these days there's 3 types of songs:
 
1. Song that's superficially cool. boring. not catchy. low energy. (Teenage Solution, Kokoro & Karada, Jinsei Blues, Junjou Evidence)
2. songs that catchier than song 1, yet somehow still bad. (Seishun Night, Gyuusaretai Dake na no ni, Yoshi Yoshi Shite Hoshii no, Jiyū na Kuni Dakara)
3. Song that gets good reception on release, but you forget about it a few weeks later (Beat no Wakusei, Furari Ginza, Lovepedia, Ningen Kankei No Way Way)

OMG but I still listen to Ningen Kankei, it's my fav song from the current line up, Gyuusaretai is good for me too.

Beat no Wakusei has been forgettable for me. I'll have to have a listen to it again for a final thought on it.

I don't know why but this single hasn't felt like a Maachan graduation single at all. I thought she would have a had a bigger push, or it might just be me.

I agree. But maybe because Masaki has always been a key feature in recent MM releases since she is considered the holy trinity with Mizuki and Sakura, so perhaps she is not getting more focus as we expected.

I am really surprised they didn't at least announce a Masaki's graduation version for the single like what they did with Tomoko and her last single with J=J.

But one thing for sure, I think it's safe to say we will at least get her solo graduation song released like Tomoko and Momona did.

Masaki had said that she didn't know it was going to be her last single, moreover, in the last UTB she also said that she didn't want to be the center of this single / celebrate her graduation and that she wanted us to support the whole group. So I think that's why Masaki isn't truly the center of this single.

I still hope that she will have a solo that will be released digitally like Momona and Tomoko!

That makes sense, I'm glad they respected her wishes.

BNW feels like it was made to write out Maachan easily. They're gonna just give her opening line to Sakura, Kaede, Miki or Akane and the rest are group lines where it doesn't matter if she's there or not.

The other 2 songs have the usual Maachan focus IMO. She's one of the main singers and have a good amount of duo lines that will probably become extra solo for Chisaki, Mizuki, Sakura, Miki, Rio and Mei so you'll easily notice how much Maachan there was in there even after her grad.

She'll probably gonna get a solo anyway.

My ranking :

1. Teenage Solution : Easily the best qnd catchiest. I still sing Rio and Maachan's parts several times a day
2. Beat No Wakusei : Not the most memorable song but it's fresh and i feel like it's gonna be better during live performances.
3. Yoshi Yoshite :... Yeah i tried to listen this sing several times and it's just very bland and messy

[resonant project]

I really Like all three songs , but I think they should have written a song like Wakaindaihi!
for Maachan Graduation.
I would like to know if a box is going out ?

#2 is disappointing for a 1st day, but it's not far behind #1. Let's wait and see what the rest of the week looks like.

Nice 1st day sales! Didn't thought they could break the 100k at their first day (with this Quality of Songs... but I guess Maachan...)
But I Don't think they can get #1 for the week... seventeen has good and stable sales

[gobzilla]

Yeah this being Maachan's grad single is probably the reason.

[honeyharunanfan]

Good first day numbers! The single is available for streaming on Apple Music.

[Lotty]

Numbers are good as expected bc Maa-chan but I expected more for Maa-chans graduation.

I hope they don't get in trouble for the upcoming sales if the songs stay like this.

I still don't care about or dislike the songs overall and not gonna invest in something I don't like but I also want Momusu to perform good.

Hmm, has Maa-chan already checked out? Those short answers are unbecoming of her usual persona.
