from a pop crush perfume interview, this made me kii
"Of course the venues you play and audiences differ in size, but is it totally different playing for American audiences versus Japanese audiences?
US fans are simply really honest with their feelings, so they get excited if they like the songs. But if they don’t, they show that. We learn a lot from it. In Japan, fans seem to look around and see if other fans are getting excited. They probably enjoy the group effort or team spirit. That’s the biggest difference."

lmao when i saw them on their first US tour this was so true. people only bopped to their iconic singles and for the songs they didn't know they were just like
Chicken Line is the 19th single by SKE48, it debuted at number 1 on Oricon with 258 thousand copies sold. This is probably the best 48 single this year but of course y'all did it wrong given the anti SKE bias. Sigh.
Melon Juice is the 2nd single by HKT48. It debuted at number 1 with around 269 thousand copies sold. Honestly this should have been their first sing out, it's just so grating and irritating? How it made it this far I do not know.
