Idol Oricon Chart Battle

It was all set to be a 3-way Oricon chart battle this week between AKB48, C-ute and Kago Ai when all of them were releasing their new singles but a little while back it was announced that C-ute’s new single has been pushed back another week to July 1st so on Wednesday it’s just going to be a straightforward fight between AKB48 and Aibon. It’s a no contest in my mind as no matter how great Kago’s single is (IMO I think it’s a fantastic song), it doesn’t stand a chance of beating the all conquering AKB48. It’ll be interesting to see how well their new single does after breaking 100k with 10nen Sakura. Can it match or even beat that?

Morning Musume – 3,2,1 Breakin’ Out PV

The official PV for the coupling track to the Morning Musume single Shouganai Yume Oibito is out and what a PV it is. I’ve already said before that 3,2,1 Breakin’ Out is freakin’ awesome and the PV has the group as 2D characters and wearing some funky clothes. I really love the PV, it looks different to any PV featuring Morning Musume but the question is will those that have entered the Anime Expo competition do something better. We’ll soon find out but for now enjoy the PV below.
