    So we can expect 100k on Oricon for this single? Previous single added about 30k after first day, iirc

    English translation of "Ima, Kono Fune ni Nore!" (Get on This Ship Now!) lyrics (Japanese lyrics are here)

    Lyrics: Sashihara Rino
    Music: Kato Hajime
    Arrangement: Kawada Katao
    MV director: Fukui Hideaki


    if the video does not show watch the video here

    See, there are only merits!
    A chef-made special curry,
    A pink ship perfect for Instagram.
    You don't get it? You just have a bad taste then.

    A light is sparkling on calm waves,
    A sun is glaring with blistering rays.
    We'll part with this town today,
    It was like heaven.

    I'm sure we'll get in stormy seas from now on
    But strangely enough, my heart beats fast.

    Fly higher! Fly higher! Grasp that sun!
    Fly higher! Fly higher! We are friends from now on.
    This slowly sailing ship will accelerate so rapidly you'll miss it,
    So hurry up and get on board!

    Unsteady feelings like strong waves -
    Sometimes they make you want to get off the ship.
    You're making an effort in hope to change something,
    But become unable to even tell the difference.

    You've entrusted yourself to this ship now,
    Hey, I won't let you down.

    Let me hear it! Let me hear it! Your voice is the only one I can't hear.
    Let me hear it! Let me hear it! Show me your smile.
    Charge ahead so hard that you won't even be able to see around you.
    Hurry up and get on board!

    Now is the time of resolution.
    Now is the time of decision.
    Preparations are already OK
    Get on this ship now! Well?

    Fly higher! Fly higher! Grasp that sun!
    Fly higher! Fly higher! We are friends from now on.
    Fly high! Fly high! Get closer to that sun.
    Fly high! Fly high! To the dazzling world.
    This ship you've trusted will blow away sad things as well.
    Hurry up and get on board!
    Shall we depart?

    ============

    looks like this song is indeed a message from Sasshi to Maika. "Let me hear it! Your voice is the only one I can't hear" is a pretty straightforward shout out to Maika. "You've entrusted yourself to this ship now, Hey, I won't let you down" and "This ship you've trusted will blow away sad things as well" are direct reassuring messages from ship... I mean producer... to members))

    it also explains why Anna and Hitomi were chosen as double center - Maika is leader's left hand and Hitomi is right.

    and as it often happens with Sasshi's lyrics, there is probably a double meaning, and this song is also a message to fans who should hurry and get on board of =LOVE ship before it accelerates and sails away (before =LOVE becomes too big/popular)

    ^ I probably will, but I am kinda reluctant, since it's not Sasshi's song :/

    =============

    that drop and increase of sales was predicted by fans, since many reported delayed shipments of Amazon orders. fans also complained that the single was out of stock in many shops, so they couldn't buy it, but it's happening with every =LOVE release - they are still pretty unknown, so shops don't risk with ordering too many copies :(

    Finally got my Want You! Want You!
    out of curiosity, did you guys get posters with this order? I got posters from Teokure Caution order but not this one, even though I pre-ordered even earlier this time :(

    just gonna say I think Type B is has better DVD because u get to see Maika

    also can I just get some stats about the photos you guys are getting with your discs? I feel like the odds are against me:
    Christmas (A) -> Anna
    Christmas (B) -> Nonno
    Caution (A) -> Anna
    Caution (B) -> Sana
    Want You (A) -> Sana
    Want You (B) -> Nonno

    are there only 3 members in =LOVE?:^O^:

    I hope for future singles they will put more singles out there for people to buy. If they are out of stock for every release, they will notice they need more copies.

    Also, I hope I'll get a poster with Want You Want You! My copy is still in Japan (last time I checked it was in Tokyo) but I will let you know.
