Back on the Matchy situation: Either Ayu might get the #1, or Matchy's going to get it, but I'm not sure why. However, Matchy's starting on the week before the week that Ayu will be positioned, and based on the past performances, maybe Ayu might get a shot to continue her streak, but it might still be up in the air - anything could happen.

Only problem is: many fans of them when Matchy was young are kind of old today - somewhere around the 40s-50s! Many young ones of today really do not care very much about him as of today - we've got not only Ayu, but also Arashi, Kuu, Ayaka, the Hello! Project team, Johnny's young guns, YUI - all sorts of stuff: those are the ones they are more interested.

Of course, Arashi would outperform Ayu if they went head-to-head, but if comparing Ayu with Matchy, that's not sure. Maybe Ayu might get the edge, but Matchy's celebrating his 30th anniversary of performing with Johnny's. But Matchy's starting on a weekend, not usually typical when others start sometime around Wednesday or so, so we'll just have to see about that.

By the way, that seems to be interesting on the special bonuses. But is that only available for a limited time, while supplies last?
