Trickster Ranks-In At No.2 on Oricon Weekly
Memorandum
TO: All Members
FROM: Hirakawa Aya, President of Mizuki Nana-sama Cheerleading Squad
DATE: 6th October 2008
SUBJECT: Notice of Disciplinary Action
It has come to our attention that j1m0ne, erstwhile leader of the female sub-division of the Mizuki Nana-sama Cheerleading Squad, has been found guilty of non-promoting of, and deliberately pessimistic outlook on Mizuki Nana-sama’s most recent masterpiece & soon-to-be national heritage, the Trickster single. We have now learnt that despite j1m0ne’s best attempts to undermine Mizuki Nana-sama’s assault on the Oricon charts by fervently pimping Hikawa Kiyoshi, KOH+ and Aqua Timez as potential winners over Mizuki Nana-sama, the move has backfired as it prompted angry hordes of Mizuki Nana fans to purchase five copies of Trickster each. Despite that, the authorities have decided that action is necessary.
This memo is to inform all members of j1m0ne’s multiple punishments for the crime stated in Chapter 717, Section 117B (noted as “lack of faith”), agreed upon by the Mizuki Nana Cheerleading Squad Disciplinary Committee headed by Hirakawa Aya. This will consist of:
a) a copy of War and Peace with extra large font, to be inserted in j1m0ne’s mouth (a punishment otherwise referred to as “eating of words”)
b) seven slaps across the face with a dirty, smelly trout
c) a mandatory purchase of 777 copies of Trickster
d) a forced 48-hour tape loop of NEWS’ Happy Birthday to be blared into j1m0ne’s ears via headphones that have been safely secured on using epoxy glue
e) a stripping off of all titles held previously, including the Almighty Leader of the Gaijin Female Mizuki Nana-sama Cheerleading Subdivision J title with immediate effect
f) a temporary 3-month demotion to subsidiary Hirano Aya’s Toilet Cleaning Brigade with immediate effect
After a three month probationary period, j1m0ne’s membership in the Squad will be re-evaluated and if necessary, further action will be taken.
All members are asked to sign their names in the blank spaces provided below to acknowledge that you have read and agreed to the action stated above.
NB: Indeed, Mizuki Nana-sama has sold 57,201 copies of Trickster, her best ever first week chart performance yet! It was indeed sad that she chose to unveil her latest masterpiece to the world in the same week as the wretched NEWS, but rejoice! Our faith as a Cheerleading Squad has made the world sit up and take notice of beloved Mizuki Nana-sama! To celebrate, every member will be presented with a commemorative rubber replica of a trout.
Top 10 chart performance below:
*1 201304 NEWS
*2 *57201 水樹奈々 (Mizuki Nana)
*3 *54005 EXILE
*4 *51063 氷川きよし (Hikawa Kiyoshi)
*5 *43217 KOH+
*6 *27,428 絢香×コブクロ (Ayaka x Kobukuro)
*7 *21,878 BAReeeeeeeeeeN
*8 *18,286 Aqua Timez
*9 *18,180 アンジェラ・アキ (Angela Aki)
10 *16,009 ASKA
What a close battle it was! Give yourself a pat on the back, Nana fans.

To celebrate, I’m going to destroy all 3 songs from the single in karaoke this week XD (assuming they’re already available, otherwise I’ll just ruin every other Nana song known to man :P)
October 7th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
LOL now now… there’s no need to be so terribly hard to yourself. Being demoted to Hirano Aya’s toilet cleaning brigade is just a LITTLE too harsh XD.
Wow I feel even MORE guilty for not getting the single now… Mizuki Nana’s star power amazes me 0_o
October 7th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
You’re not the only one guilty, OtaAgg.
LMAO @ the post. YAY for Nana~!
October 7th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
@ Lil Donkey
I think it’s time for me to stop feeling guilty by cutting back on my daily coffees and saving up for the single XD
October 7th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
@OtaAgg:
And I’ll should cut back on - wait, I’d already cut back all my weekly snack buying for these CDs! D:
October 7th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
What snack/coffee? Replace your real food with instant noodles. That’s how we angry hordes survive.
Lol awesomeness. Dang, if only NEWS released their gay single next month, we gonna have a history
Good luck with Hirano Aya’s bikini squad or whatever. xD

Going completely offtopic but, May’n Will be Heading to SEA,Singapore for AFA and be performing there. more details can be seen at http://www.afa08.com, just giving you a heads up
October 8th, 2008 at 2:35 am
777 copies of Trickster? Hope you like your DISCO MIZUKI!
October 8th, 2008 at 8:16 am
Come on kids, give up the coffee. It’s not good for your health! Think of all the seiyuu crap you could buy with all the pennies you save! You can survive on a diet of oats for a month or something.

Looks like my predicament was right. Too bad JPM is down or else I coulda given proof/celebrate in there.
Though those sales numbers are RIDCULOUSLY high. I think these numbers are only a little less than STARCAMP EP’s totals. And Massive Wonders. And Secret Ambition.
I really do believe she’s gaining mainstream popularity, especially with that Oricon poll from awhile back. Now if she could appear on Kohaku (yeah right).
October 8th, 2008 at 9:31 am
Hey j1m0ne…wanna..REALLY punish yourself? Sing happy birthday for Hirano Aya today and post it in this blog. =D (on the side note it’s really an absolute innocent coincidence that I am commenting this post on Hirano Aya’s birthday…I swear…)
Come on, I know you can do it. 21st birthday is special you know…so…yeah. Sing it XD
*runs away*

[...] since townberry suggested it as further punishment for not believing in Nana enough, I shall heap misery upon [...]

Trickster is her highest selling single in the first week to date, depending on the rest it could break her record.
It’s interesting to note that the single came out just a bit before the tie-up anime started [groan]R&V Capu2[/groan], so the initial sales is mostly attributed to Nana-chan’s name, and that they’re hoping the anime will create a long-tail.

The person who wrote this article is a serious moron… Why the hell has the writer chosen to write in such a ludicrously and absurdish way? This style of writting is a disgrace… Your style of writing is that of a ludicrously attempt to write, as if this was a report being writting by a lawyer. And extremely ridicule and futile article… I cannot express my anger for such a childish article. And the way you try to keep your cool is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself. Being able to produce such an irrelevant and imbecilic article….

Hello moronic troll.
In case you didn’t notice, this is a personal blog not a newspaper. ‘The writer’? Er yeah, I have a name.
And I’m not a lawyer, I’m a normal office worker who writes hundreds of memos a week in similar cut and paste fashion.
Now go back to your high home in the clouds and express your anger.
OHHH I AM SO ASHAMED OF MYSELLFFFFF. BOOHOOHOO.
