Single NMB48 17th [Warota People] (2017/12/27)

The lyrics is so relatable, the music is easy-listening and catchy while the dance is easy to follow.. That's a point from the music side

 

Really nice that they increased sales from the last one! Most of us weren’t expecting it so it’s a great surprise.

 

Is the arena tour concert that's spread over the first three versions any good?

 

Yes. It has the now legendary (among fans) Silent Majority centered by Yuuri and Priority sung by Sayaka.

This single really got me back into NMB so I'm glad to see it doing so well! A big improvement after their album.

Billboard Japan (Via Soundscan Japan) has it at 271,700 units sold after 3 Days.

We will know the rest of how it did on Oricon on January 4th (The usual for the end of the Year).

 

Not much difference for both Oricon and Billboard...

Well that Soundscan figure is much lower than previous single of 348,566

 

Looks like it's picking up a bit on youtube dancers
The super straight faces and crazy precision dance mix with this song really amused me

if the video does not show watch the video here

 

It's about damn time one of the 48 sister groups have a "viral" song

 

Those guys are hilarious.
I don't mind if they'll choreographed more of NMBs dances.

Airi's channel's version of Warota People has 250k views or something. Its kinda absurd. I can't say if its going "viral" or not but NMB is sure trying their damndest to do it. I hope they'd get Kamaitachi or Yoshimoto Shinkigeki to do it because I think they would be up to it.

 

it’s all because chihii’s beautiful legs

Week 1: 273,499 (1st)

 

Certainly higher than their previous single, although I'm not convinced it's trajectory will be great compared to past singles (given that it's not top 3 in daily charts so far which barely have 1k). Also the single happens to have sold exactly 800,000 units less than AKB48's Eien Pressure in the first week (not that it means anything, just surprised that the digits match that much).

 

Warota people

I'm laughing at some of the comments made earlier in this thread

Congrats NMB!
