And someone was nice enough to encode some of the songs performed in the LIVE. Well enjoy before Pony Canyon “kicks” them off Youtube ^^”.

Came as a surprise to me as I expected the single to be in the top ten.

It has sold a total of 13,507 copies for the first week since it was released for sale. Their previous single, Haruka did way better, scoring a 3rd place on the weekly charts with 21,974 copies sold. Well that was probably due to the fact that Haruka had many editions to purchase. Crazy fans like me would definitely purchase all 3 of them.
