C-ute: The 'C-ute Singles series'- #21- "Crazy Kanzen na Otonoa"
Going a bit out of order on this series, this post should have been for single #22 "Kanashiki Amefuri". However there's not a whole lot out there for that single such as cards, promo pics and other things. So for now will put that tune on ice but will end up doing a post for it, it's kind of hard finding things for their older singles.
"Crazy Kanzen na Otono" though is an older single yet there could be more things for this single then any other one, could have done two posts for it. The single came out on April 3, 2013 and to date has remained near the top of my fave C-ute songs, think a lot of fans have the same opinion.
Single #21 at the time was their best seller as it sold over 47.000 copies in it's first week to finish in the third position on the Oricon charts, they still haven't had a #1 weekly single. But like all of their previous singles along with the ones that followed this sales really dropped off after that first week as it sold only 5,000 copies in the next four weeks.
The group will never have the sales that AKB or Nogi does but those sales are slowly increasing, the latest single sold over 59,000 copies it's first week out. Plenty of cards for this single, group ones are first followed by Maimi, Saki, Airi, Chisaki and Mai. That's the usual order I post their cards in, one is because that's the ranking of my faves but also noticed it goes from oldest to youngest.
There are a few mag spreads that went along with the single that haven't been posted here yet. Don't think there will be a second post for this single so what I'll probably end up doing is a post for their 2013 mag spreads as there aren't too many for that year here.
On April 3rd the group held a promo event for the single, they usually do that for their singles and have some pics here form that event. Also after the pics check out a sultry live version of the song.
