    Well, look - I'm an Ayumi Hamasaki fan, but Ayu's 36 years old... Mirukii's only 21...

    Anyone who ordered the LE (Vintage Edition) there should be an event lottery code that came with it. If you guys don't mind I will be very glad and appreciated to take them off your hands!

    I love the song <3
    I basically love everything about it (PV, music, concept, wardrobe) apart from the singing itself (lol) but all things considered. I think she did a great job. I'm so proud of her singing live and doing her best even though she can't really sing and she's worked so hard this year, she's been in what, 9 singles this year??
    People are saying here and in her thread how they wanted warukii 2.0 or SDN48 and I disagree, I mean warukii ALREADY HAPPENED. This is fresh, not to mention classy, sweet, fun and cute and it suits her perfectly.

    Not to mention the lack of gimmicks with this. I mean, no drama tie-ins, etc., etc. This is pretty good all things considered.

    The fact that she's sold almost 50,000 copies in 4 days is pretty damn good. Soloists tend to peak early with their first release in overall sales, and then kinda average out after that, but I think we can already call her first single a total success now.

    If management was interested, they should release another one part way into next year if they wanted to retain some of those numbers.

    Kinda depends if Milky actually wants to be a soloist I guess, or if one single was all she wanted. I think she would probably want to do another one though, at least while she's still apart of the 48group.

    The Pianissimo PV... was kinda harsh on Uchida lol
    The girls look beautiful, but they didn't really respect the girls' ranking when it comes to screentime. Naanya, Mio and Yukirin got most of it. :rolleyes:

    Has it ever been said clearly about the actually terms of the janken win? I remember seeing "solo debut," and then people loosely starting saying "solo career"..

    There's a big difference. Was this a one-shot single? Did they ever specify?

    It was just one solo single.
    I think the management would look how it sells and THEN decide if they want to make it something more.

    I was afraid of that :( Looks like there will be no more Milky singles, then... I feel like they're gearing Sayanee up for a solo debut, and I doubt they'd juggle Milky and Sayanee both having solo music.

    The thing is, this single feels like such a hit. The song, the image, Milky's aura surrounding it, etc. I know Sayanee is the obvious choice for the solo career, but I really want more music from Milky :)

    Then again, Tomochin is the only soloist with a reliable release schedule.. so if Milky was to get another single, it'd probably come out in 2016 knowing how it works... since we're still waiting on Takamina and Mayu.
