Great numbers! I'm glad Masaki could go out on a high like this.

 

I wish they'd give MM more diverse songs. It feels like for ages now the only kinds of song they put out are either 1) messy outdated EDM, 2) "cool", mid-tempo dance pop, and 3) funk/disco pop. And I actually like all three songs on this single, don't get me wrong - it's actually been a while since that's happened tbh - but it's really starting to blend together. MM feels so stale and stagnant. I remember how stark the change in style felt between MM in 2005 vs MM in 2009 vs MM in 2013, but now it feels like since then we've had no musical evolution whatsoever. It's quite sad.

 

But again, I do really like the songs on this latest single, I just wish I didn't feel like I'd heard them all before.

I agree! As much as I do like their EDM sound it can be very tiring hearing the same kind of formula for their songs after a while. I kind want to see them incorporate a little funky jazzy sound into some songs to make them fun!

Homare was absent from the release events today after complaining of stomach pain yesterday night and being diagnosed with acute gastroenteritis. She was also tested for COVID just to be safe, it was negative.

I hope Homare gets well soon! Gastroenteritis is awful.

wow single still selling slowly. Just listened to Teenage solution today on a walk and thought, well the single isn't a flop but all songs are 5/10 (Maybe Teenage 6/10) but nothing special  For me a shame to celebrate the 70th single with this release...

But well everyone has a different taste

Was there a forTUNE boxset released for this single?

[Nayok-Kihara]

I think there was, but I'm not 100% positive.
