mte xD look at all of the projects and works all the boys have. they're so good handling the boys but why not the girls :( Sony Music staffs are also involved though. I think Sony has more saying with Flower's music releases than LDH. I mean, sure Hiro-san and LDH teams are handling and planning it too (like the new single is for Gun-chan's movie) but for the songs, producers, arrangements, pv and marketing (like how many versions, covers etc) perhaps Sony handles it more than LDH does, like their bonus that we can get if we purchase certain type on their Sony website. Also, even now I still saw Sony staffs who were working with Flower for Flower vs Happiness battle back in 2013 pretty much every time they shot their pv and during their 1st concert too. So, I guess that's how Flower got better treatment? (Most LDH groups' record label are under rhythm zone that belongs to Avex Records Group)

I think leader's role is more than explaining the single. There are many things happening behind the scene. Leader supports and guides the members. Isn't it the same with Hiro-san? Hiro-san didn't always explain the single, Takahiro or Atsushi were mostly doing that job. He has retired as a performer but still is an exile leader. He supports, advices, and guides the members from behind. It's the same as Miyuu. She's known as a strict person and most of Happiness members say that she's scary but she leads them well. That also applies to Aya. More often than not, Ami would be the one who explain their single and be in the front line and Aya had not participated in a few singles but she's still there. She supports the members. I think being a leader is more than being in the spotlight and explaining things. They probably chose Manami because she fits the roles and can be the place where the members can seek help whenever they're facing problems. Flower members and Hiro-san agreed to have Manami as the leader and they know the situation behind the scenes more than us. So, I think that's the reason why :D

as for now I don't think any of them will leave flower (I hope so :( ) especially Manami, Mio and Shuuka. The three of them are the original members and they have gone through several obstacles to debut so them leaving is quite unlikely imo but you know, we will never know what happen and bad management can affect it too so I hope LDH and Sony won't ruin this :( Rather than Reina outshining the new vocalist if they ever add one, for me it's more to the relationship between the new member and Flower. They either can get along well straight away or just have a business relationship (I know that to some extent some groups are merely for business) but if it goes too bad, it can affect the whole group and of course the fans' reaction and how they're gonna treat the new member also important. If they have a new vocalist, it means she will automatically become an e-girls members. E-girls members currently have 7 vocalists and it's so obvious that they don't get fair lines distributions and screen time plus e-girls members have been decided only 20 members. so, i guess this is why adding a vocalist to flower is difficult? But, you know, I once thought that the new vocalist can be signed under Sony only not LDH so she is a flower member not e-girls as well, if you get what I mean? hahahaha Reina is a great vocalist, everyone knows that, but I'm sure that there are other vocalists who are better or on-par with Reina's singing capability so as long as they choose the person with that in mind, I'm not too worry about that but the popularity definitely does :/ Well, a new vocalist is just so flower won't look like a singer with flower as Reina's stage name with backup dancers and there's more diversity in the song </3

well, probably why only washio was there because the stage was so narrow. there was no way the performers could dance there :( And it was a surprise performance so perhaps they didn't plan to make her perform hence why they didn't choose the movie theatre with spacious stage :/ though honestly, I dislike the idea of reina performing alone. Until this day, I still haven't given up the hope of Flower having another vocalist. Having Reina as their vocalist truly make the rest of the members like the back dancers and with only as a vocalist, I just couldn't help being nervous and irritated whenever Reina got more screen time than the rest of the them even though I love Reina a lot and I love her voice too. Except the popular members like model-line and Ami, the rest of them are barely got promoted :( That explains why Flower now is only left with one vocalist because except Reina, Chiharu and Kyoka never got the chance to shine. :( The thing is LDH is really good managing the boys. They have several projects and they have announced the Izakaya Exile. I want them to give a big project for E-girls too :(

Ho~ I didn't know that :D but perhaps the fans would like to see "Flower" name 1st on the Oricon chart itself instead of just automatically gets the 1st place because of AKB's sales are inflated even though it is shown that Flower is 2nd :D I heard that AKB's latest single has the voting ticket for their annual Senbatsu Sousenkyou hence explains why they sold more than a million copies^^;;;

Ah, I understand^^;; I hope they're able to get 1st for their next single/album :D Well then, Let's work hard and support Flower by buying their next single/album legally so they can get 1st on Oricon chart! :D (And hopefully, there won't be a strong group for their next release too^^;;) Anyway, this is the 2nd day sales of ã‚„ã•ã—ã•ã§æº¢ã‚Œã‚‹ã‚ˆã†ã«: Total sales for the 2nd day: 3,865 copies. Total sales for both days: 41,979 copies.

^^ yup, the 2nd place on daily chart they meant was the Oricon chart. The chart that had been posted by inspi'

they didn't release any release event date so far and usually the event date is announced together with the single announcement so they probably aren't holding any release event for this single? maybe the reason why they released the single today because gun-chan's movie is premiered on June 4th so releasing it near the premiere date was probably the reason why and Sony probably didn't know that AKB is releasing a new single on the same day? and perhaps the total sales is more important than the ranking for them? :( Anyway, ã‚„ã•ã—ã•ã§æº¢ã‚Œã‚‹ã‚ˆã†ã« is 1st on Itunes Japan^^ and 3rd for the whole single (I just checked^^) Nowadays not many people buy CDs unless there is a release event ticket or special content in it or they have hardcore fans who bulk buying them like AKB case These days, especially non-fans (and fans too) opt to buy them digitally :D (AKB's song is currently 28th on Itunes Japan) So, don't worry Flower is doing well^^ Let's support Flower as much as we can by purchasing the single either physically or digitally :D

probably the reason why Milky Way was their best selling single so far because it got Hanadokei live tour dvd? and plus, it's a single after kyoka departure so people might want to support them and there's a hi-touch/handshake ticket inside the cd if i'm not mistaken? And not to mention they've grown more popular^^ but yeah both milky way and ã‚„ã•ã—ã•ã§æº¢ã‚Œã‚‹ã‚ˆã†ã« were weak the first time i listened too but it grew on me pretty fast^^ I wonder whether they're going to release an album this year..?

i still haven't given up the hope of flower having a new vocalist.

i do agree in a way that erie in the two last e-girl's pv are just weird but i'm glad to see her in e-girls pvs after she has been excluded in the past few singles' pvs. i think her role as a dj probably create remixes for the performers' stage in their concert? ^^ i guess ldh has been trying to include all the girls in their singles especially the vocalists even though we can see that they don't exactly get a fair amount of line distribution but still, it's better than not getting any. probably, to avoid more of the girls leaving the group. i hope no more of them leaving the group. it's just too heartbreaking </3 i've always been wondering about this but ldh seems have no problem in handling exile tribe (exile, the second, 3jsb, and gene) but not the girls. ^^;; whenever i see exile tribe project, how i wish the girls are included as well :/ even if they're included, they only get small part of it :( of course, i'm aware that the girls aren't as big as them yet but if they get more support and exposure, i'm sure they can be so much bigger than now :D

yeah, it seems like it's a big project since it's a collab with avex as well. yesss, all of them are young and talented. their dancing skills are great. i think in term of singing kenya and ayumu are the best out of the rest but the other vocalist have improved so looking forward for them as well^^ they've also been actively having street performances so, it's good that they experience various things before their real debut. definitely, looking forward for their real debut. since, they're going to be in new york for 3 to 3 and a half years so it's ~2 more years before they return back to japan can't wait!! :D

i'm actually pretty sad that matsu, makidai and usa retired from exile because it's just so weird watching exile without them. I mean, hiro is a CEO so him leaving isn't something surprising and he's almost 50 but those three :/ when i heard the news about them retiring, i was so shocked :/ everytime i saw their performance on music show and the cameras were zoomed on them, ah :/ well, i do understand why they retired. matsu and makidai are 40 years old and usa is almost 40, so they're giving space for the younger members so they can shine and continue the journey but still, i'm sad about it :( if atsushi ever retire from exile, i think it's just going to be so weird. takahiro does bring a great impact for exile as a great vocalist but atsushi is just different in my opinion. like, it would be weird listening to exile's songs without atsushi's voice. have you heard about exile jr.? the project taro? i think if ever exile is going to be disbanded, they're going to replace them. but i do agree that generations have superb talent, in both singing and dancing. plus, the balance between the members are really great. they also have great songs and most of their singles never really disappoint but, exile disbands is something that i don't want to see ahahaha

what post? ^^

i think next year instead of exile's new single it will exile tribe's? like they always do exile tribe once in two years...? (i could be wrong). since the second and atsushi are going to be busy with their own tours. so i guess instead of exile's single and concerts there will be a exile tribe concert and single? i want them to release another ballad like tada aitakute or RnB like ti amo or futatsu no kuchibiru? an upbeat song like fireworks or won't be long were nice, i want those kind of songs too and i honestly did enjoy 24karats Gold Soul and Exile Tribe's 24 world but i want them to drop the 24something already. ^^;;; i want them to drop the edm but i don't think they will since there's pkcz now, there will bound to have edm songs ;;;;

i recently watched VBA3. did they release 'why'? (the song that is used for rabbits (?) members to practice?

hello!^^ i'm new here and a new ldh fan as well does anyone have the streaming/download link for generations hard knock days special and this show as well: ? thank you so much!^^
