Naniwa Danshi’s fans are falling away from the group due to a series of scandals… …Even in their main job of singing, their reputation has dropped due to the “lip-syncing” scandal.

Naniwa Danshi is a seven-member group from Kansai Junior. They recently released their sixth new single, “I Wish,” but sales are said to be down from the previous single. Speaking of Naniwa Danshi members, they have been hit by a series of female scandals this year, which seems to have accelerated their fan separation.

According to the Oricon Weekly Single Ranking released on November 21, the single “I Wish” sold 370,000 copies in its first week.

However, “Make Up Day / Missing,” released in September of this year, recorded 394,000 copies in its first week. Although the difference appears to be only 24,000 copies, the single “Special Kiss,” released in March, sold 516,000 copies in its first week, making it a half-million seller (over 500,000).

To begin with, “My Second Aoharu,” also starring Michie, has never had high viewership ratings. The lead actress is Alice Hirose, but Michie plays the important role of her partner. The average household rating for the drama started at a single-digit figure of 5.7% (Video Research, Kanto region) for the first episode. Since the ratings have remained between 4-5% since then, the PR effect of the theme song “I Wish” from the drama was not so great,” said an entertainment writer.
