Oh My
The sales figures for Mikan’s first week have come in… and they’re not high. Around 28K sold with a rank of 6th. The rank isn’t such a big deal to me. I know it was a tough week, but their lowest first week sales ever? And by quite a lot too.
Soon, there’s going to be a rush of blogging trying to explain what went wrong. Some will be defending MM and making excuses, others will be proclaiming this the fabled “the end of Morning Musume”. Right now though, I’m kind of in too much shock to do any of that. I think I need some time to process this, but right now I can say that with these numbers being what they are… it doesn’t look good. I really thought MM was making some headway recently, but maybe I was wrong. Sigh. Honestly, I’m just stunned.
