I'm glad that they sped up the song, with Takahashi and the chimpmunks tone.
The faster the song, the sooner the music video was over. And, yeah, the only highlight was the high use of the Eri.

I used to be a huge MM fan, but now I can't even watch one of their videos without turning it off halfway. If you diehard fans keep accepting this kinda quality, than they will keep giving it to you.

I think Morning musume is following the Family Guy Method, they pick 3 random things and make a skit about it.

This is how the last Morning musume video shoot was decided.

"Let's see we could make an awesome video about princesses in this new single, but naah let's pick some stuff out of a hat...

2. Cowboy attire... Check!

>clean victory
We're talking about idol groups here, there is no "clean victory". It's either luck of the draw that an idol group finds a way to gain favor with the public (and then rides the resulting profits to keep that favor for as long as they can), or the fans are dedicated enough to inflate the sales. That's how idol groups get on the charts.

Right now, AKB seems to have found that "special something" that the public loves at the moment and is essentially in their equivalent of MM's golden era. Sucks a little for MM and those who support them, but we've honestly had our time in the limelight. Morning Musume is still doing just fine. Nowhere near what they once were, but still charting very well and chugging along.

Anyone who says that the current situation with AKB and MM's sales is the demise of Morning Musume is either a troll or stupid. We've got a good long while before this flame goes out.

And, on that note, my contribution.

Umm, no, if anything this demonstrates it is not luck, it is careful planning.

In their minds it is but they could never hit the heights of that era without the selling tactics discussed previously.

>Anyone who says that the current situation with AKB and MM's sales is the demise of Morning Musume is either a troll or stupid.
This again is the heart of the issue, for a lot of their fans its not about the music at all, its about the war, and they fight in a particularly dirty manner.

The general public should know about this first before claiming some unbelievable achievement.

>Nowhere near what they once were, but still charting very well and chugging along.

You guys do realize that MM is only really catering to the wota now?

And even mentioning that you like H!P is pretty embarassing, since no one likes them anymore? H!P has no reason to cater to anyone else, because the wotas keep them afloat anyway (regardless of quality). So MM won't die, but it definitely won't get any better.

Sorry man, but business is business and drawing lines in the sand so to give your favorite underdog some sort of moral high ground means nothing in the world of idol groups.

You have to let the customer make the choice. Companies live off of consumers and the day a company thinks they own the consumer and it's guaranteed he'll never dump you is the day that company is doomed to fail.
UFA thought that with the growing competition they would still keep all of their fans close despite cranking out low quality products and giving nothing in return to rheir dedication, and boy if they were wrong.

My bad for using the term luck, I guess. Call it what you like.

With you on that one, although the degree of success is pretty much irrelevant. AKB is in their prime right now, popularity wise...much like MM was in the early 2000's.

>the selling tactics discussed previously
It's pretty clear that AKB is the sneakier of the two. Even some of the AKB fans I've talked to have said they're not fond of the company's marketing tactics. But as I said in >>3633714...they're idol groups, it's honestly not about fighting fair and there is no clean victory.

Strange how this sound exactly like something liften from a conspiracy theorist's rambling, isn't it?

I think that their rise in popularity wouldn't be all that unusual if you got the facts right instead of obsessing over tickets and handshake events as though they have been their prerogative.

Boy, oh boy. What could have contributed to this twist of fate? The fact that last October they started SKE and expanded their business beyond the confines of the Tokyo area? The fact they moved from an incompetent CD publisher to one worth its salt? The fact they started broadcasting their programs on a national scale, and since then they have happily outlasted three failed H!P programs and are being watched by more people than all of them combined? The fact there's always an AKB girl on TV these days whereas H!P can barely afford sending in Sayumi as some odd guest for a late night show?
And the list goes on... The fact of the matter is, wota alone can only take you so far. This was painfully proven when they started and by Morning Musume's current situation.

Wait, so let me get this straight.
So not only am I, a regular customer, spared the trouble of buying four different versions of the same single to get all the bonus content because everything - DVDs and insets - is already included in the regular edition normally sold in store, and I get a ticket to a handshake event as opposed to a lottery ticket that might or might not guarantee me a place there... but as an added plus I can also make my opinion be heard and rest assured that my decision won't be discarded as soon as it reaches the headquarters.

More weird Maki chart news:
"with..." was released months and months ago for download only, no physical release what so ever, youtube promotion blah blah. It did good as a download IIRC and charted pretty high, but ofcouse fell off in time. Now later in the year 2525 it's being used as a ED for some night time j-drama crap and BAM, the song has jumped up to 2nd place. People like downloading Maki songs apparently.

So, how am I supposed to gauge this appeal if not by asking the customer, who's the only true judge in this regard?

Also, I think the problem at the bottom of your reasoning is that you haven't yet realized that whereas Morning Musume's survives solely on CD sales, AKB's true place of business is their multiple theaters and the sales of their singles, which are still used as little more than standard promotion, represent but a small fraction of their actual income.
Man, I wonder why their B-side is paired with a song randomly chosen from the hundrends performed in the theater. Or why over the last year they spun off two new groups and expanded their habitual theater to one sitting 800 people a day (and they still have trouble with all the reservations).
Clearly those managers only have single sales in their mind.

Lesson one: Don't call people out on buying multiple copies when every idolfags does just the same. Stone, glass house, etc...

Lesson two: Learn how other idol groups work. What I've seen here is people thinking that AKB profits exclusively off CD sales, or that singles are their sole outlets. All of which raises a huge red flag that whoever is running his mouth off has now fucking clue about anything outside his secluded fandom.

Everything else is dodgy speculation people want to pass off as fact or normal behavior because it suits their loserrific bias, butthurt and holier-than-thou attitude.

P.S.: I buy no merchandise whatsoever.
