Translation

Spoiler:

Only about 3,5 km ‘till our destination
Prepare to dive OK
Smile only afterwards

The origin of my power is no else but you
Charge me up quickly
I’m already growing stale!

Right now, I’ll go to the place where you’re waiting
Diving into a wave of parasols
Right now, I’ll go to the place where you’re waiting
Let me blow up a balloon

I only restrain you and trouble you with questions
But even so, if it’s you
You’ll try to answer them for me

Until the time I spend with you is over
There are no other things that I want to do
I want to postpone everything but you

Driving away from the depressive city,
I’ll go to your side, right now
I throw a kiss to a stray cat and
Let my high heels clang

This headwind is my companion
I travel to be able to embrace you closely
What I want the most is to find you
To hug and kiss you

The sweet wind tickles my chest
No words are needed anymore

Right now, I’ll go to the place where you’re waiting
Diving into a wave of parasols
I’ll jump over this puddle of water
And aim at your heart, hurry!

Kicking the rainy sky,
I travel across the bridge of a rainbow
Right now, I’ll go even just one second faster
And hurry to the place where you’re waiting, yeah

(please credit me if you use them somewhere else)

of course! but i meant on the debut day. kumi is notorious for her 2nd day drops so we will see how things pan out..

i am surprised to see big bang at 3, i thought for sure ayaka and mihimaru gt would pose a little bit of a threast. i guess not!

[Twinkle !]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



1- i wanted kuu to be 1#
2- 25k isnt good at all only if hear sales keep steady

but no wonder if she got 1#

taboo was around 1# 2# 3# and she finally got 1#

[KarenPang]

I'm surprised that the 1st day sales for the top 2 artistes this week are real low

somemore considering that 3 SPLASH's a triple A-side with 3 fantastic PVs , I thought it might do well

guess not

[Twinkle !]

i know kuu will be 2# < - i believe in ninki now more than before

whatever but 25k isnt good ,t's all love debut was 33k

but i know tomorrow her sales will drop more than 50%

arrrgh... pleeez keep steady

[LacusClyne]

^nah, it's very difficult to fight against JE's artists, they always get number 1.

but it will be interesting if they release on the same day as Ayu, i wonder who will win?

[freedreamer]

that video is so cute! she looks great! hahaha

lOL she pronounces ECSTASY as XesTahShi

I love the translations...cant believe she got 2

not necessary all Johnny's artistes get #1 on the charts , Genie

senpai bands like V6 , SMAP , Tackey & Tsubasa , not all their material debut at #1 & that goes for Tegomass too

their 2nd single Kiss ~Kaerimichi no Love Song~ didn't went to #1 but their 1st & 3rd ones did

but it will be interesting if they release on the same day as Ayu, i wonder who will win?

probably ayumi because Tegomass's a temporary unit to begin with . They're not promoted aggressively like ARASHI , KAT-TUN

anyway Johnny-san wouldn't be silly to ask Tegomass to go up against ayumi , that will be as a good as asking you to go inside a tiger's cage to get eaten alive

[Maemi]

So what about the first day sales of 3 SPLASH?

She's #2? Only 25k? @_@

[waterballoon]

25k is not bad for first day... I hope it holds stable!

Same. I wasn't really expecting Kumi to be number-one. Maybe she'll get it tomorrow?

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Hm, at the tower records shibuya today, there were TONS!!! of 3 SPLASH singles in the pink pouch (it is in fact pink, I think I read that someone thought it was purple or something?) and no one was like, observing the single or whatever. They were all just sitting there....... alone.......

She didn't even have a little preview place or anything--usually popular artists will have a little decorated station with a tv screen playing the videos and lights and all this fun stuff...but she was like, on the wall and on the other side of Perfume's new album or something o_O. i was shocked...

Well, kinda. I didn't have a good feeling about sales for this single. Even though it was promoted a lot (with the SANYO CM's--they're played like every other minute -_-) but like...there wasn't a hype around it or anything except from like, the people here of course.

Meh, though I wouldn't get your hopes up for a #1 single. I think tegomasu will still get #1 *shrug*

[Meat Pao]

#2 is great, but I hope for at least a 65k~70k first week.

[Maemi]

If her sales are going to be steady, then 25k isn't bad. Otherwise... poor Kuu.
I'm suprised because - cute style + 3 songs + 3 PVs = should have been more attractive to people.

LOL same thing for me
I'm really happy Tegomass is #1 but at the same time I also wanted kumi to be #1...so yeah

only 25K...it could be worst but on the other hand, it could be better
hopefully she will reach at least 60K-70K by the end of the week

[ren'ai]

Oh damn.. I thought sales would be atleast like It's all Love! for first day =/ Hopefully sales will be steady..

I thought the pouch edition was all sold out? So there wasn't that many copies of it to begin with then ?

[hpg23]

The songs are awful and a mess, no wonder is not selling good. No matter it´s a 3A-SIDE, if the songs are not worth it, it´s not going to sell. Kuu disappoints once more.
