But their first and also best album, not doing really well on the chart...

I think lack of media promotion, they did lot of performance throughout Japan...but still they need media coverage

^ I also heard it didn't sell so well. Do you know the exact sales numbers? I think it's because of the "old material" they included in album. Maybe people who already bought the singles didn't see any point to get the album.

They've been performing a lot in different venues and their album is impressively displayed in stores (based on pictures I have seen). Maybe they needed more attention in media like you said. I bought 2 copies of the album so I wanna think I helped them even a little....

Below is the preview of SUPER HERO. What do you think?

O i don't know about their stuff being displayed heavily on the stores, you have pictures about it?

Their first week on position 14 sold 11903 copies, which is lot lower than their usual first week for single sales.

In the second week, i'm watching their position i think they will end up around position 27 or 28. I'm not sure about how much copies they sold on second week, we don't get the figure yet...

I'm hoping they won't give up...they still have a long way to get more famous...

I like super hero, but i hate the PV...i wish that they will get high budget and conceptual PV someday...like what AVEX gave to E-Girls or Flower...

^^ I found this picture on fairies-me tumblr.

I have same thoughts about the new PV. It's look good but bland. Even their outfits have similarities with the ones they were using in album promotion. For me the music is the most important thing but if their label had put little more effort on this, people would enjoy watching the music video over and over.

I don't know the exact date for PV release so if someone has more information feel free to add.

Second week - go down to position 34 with 3131 copies sold, so in total Fairies first album sold 15034 copies so far.

^ ugh, bad sales for an idol group. They're still young tho, they can make this! they should have promoted the album more on medias, plus the fact that the album contained only one new song didn't help XD bad marketing there

it took almost 2 years for this album.... not very good at all.
Plus there was barely any promo!!!
What where they thinking?!

Unless this was just a set up for another album soon.... like they knew it took so long with the singles so they released this to remind people and then BAM new singles and then BAM! alblum!

This rumor has been floating on the net for a while but I heard that Momoka will make a solo debut (but won't leave Fairies)....? Not sure if it's true or not.

Covers and tracklist for the 8th single 「Super Hero / Love Me, Love You More. (Sora looks so mature on the CD+DVD one )

The first press bonus is photo card (1 of 12). If I understood correctly there will be some "event only" versions as well (with picture label or trading card set).

Good performances but no lines for Miria & Mahiro?

Miria and Miki looked really classy. Looking forward this single!
