Back at #12 today 

#1 is at 8k.

Actually, even though the sales may not be that huge, she stayed in top 30, even top 20 for 5 days. it's great, there is a consistency.

[Kumi-chan]

She's at #3 today with 1132 copies.

I don't know what happened but it's great! It's her highest position for now. I'm sooooo happy!

Well, it's not that bad. I'm waiting for Billboard numbers too. 

Of course, it's not as big as Karin's last single, which was about 15~16k, but they don't have the same popularity so it's fine.

I just hope management is satisfied.  

 

EDIT:

 

Weekly Billboard chart: #9 with 9011 copies.

It's good sales for a first EP.

I think she can do more than 10k sales for this EP in the long run. I personally think it's a win for her considering she is not as popular as Karin.

Sales are ok, hope she see's it this way too

How do her sales compere to Bitter Sweet?

B&S last single sales are 552 copies for first week. But I don't think they did much promo about it so ...

Jirashite Aishite

 

Oh! Sunny Days

 

Basically, just close-up/dance versions but she looks great anyway!

Seems like they are gearing her up for a second EP since she has 3 new songs now. To be honest, I don't mind if she does a cover + original songs album. That would be pretty neat too.

[Kumi-chan]

I don't know. Risa said something weird on her blog. Something along the line : We don't have any plans to make a soundtrack at the moment. But maybe I didn't understand. I hope she'll announce something tomorrow

 

https://ameblo.jp/ri...medium=twitter 

[Kumi-chan]

• Setlist was the same today
• No announcement regarding the new songs 
• 3 different outfits. The last one, used for the encore, is popular among fans but Risa said she'll not reveal it yet (=posting pics on SNS).
• Two new dates at Daichi Ryogaku: 

     -August 15th

     -August 16th

 

Something is definitely in preparation but is not ready yet. I'm a bit frustrated but in the same time I'm happy to know that there is something coming. 

I know it's not happening but I hope to see a performance of one of the new songs in the next M-Line Music.

The new secret outfit is probably used for the new release (I HOPE). From fans' descriptions:
