Okay I know they were #1 a few days ago on the charts and I checked again this morning and they got their spot back! :) From what I can see, this single is doing really well and at this rate, they will be #1 on the weekly charts(unless Super Junior somehow sells more than Morning Musume) What I think of this is that I think it's a really good thing that Morning Musume has been doing well for the past three singles and probably slowly gaining back their popularity. Though I honestly wish that Up Front would've promoted them more during the Platinum era because I think that line-up was amazing. I'm not saying that the current line-up isn't good but I'm just saying that I think it was better to promote them more earlier before autotune became highly used and JunJun, LinLin and Kamei Eri graduated.
When I watched the documentary/interview video involving their 50th single, the staff asked people if they knew the current Morning Musume. Obviously, people only knows the golden era. People in the documentary said that they somewhat knew the current MoMusu, heard Niigaki's graduating and Sayu being the next leader, a middle aged women saying she stills listens to them(only Love Machine and the peace) then the staff asks if she knew any of their latest songs and said she doesn't, and people who doesn't know what's going on with them at all because of the lack of TV appearances. When I heard that, I was pissed even I can't blame that if they're not TV, they won't know but the thing that bothered me the most was that people don't know any of their latest songs. They only know Love Machine, The Peace, Renai Revolution 21 etc. After watching this, I told my mom about it and she said that only knows Momochi and her Yurushite Nyan song lol. I just hope that someday, Morning Musume will be known again and when they're on Muste, Kouhaku etc, I'll be like, I supported them before they reached the top again! :D
