They have a solid fandom. I mean, you HAVE to get heavily invested into them to get to know them as a group even at the base level. But it feels like their popularity has been going down and I’m not particularly fond of the direction Modhaus has been leading them to. It feels like they’re increasingly making them become more catered towards creepy people who sexually objectify them.
Their new song Baby Flower is good. I’ve seen some people say it was a lazy decision to release a song where half of it is just them singing la-la-la, but I still like it. It sounds like a feel good opening to an anime and while a lalala song isn’t the most creative direction, people can still sing along to it no matter what language they speak in.
But it feels like no one outside the fandom is giving them a chance anymore. The song debuted #458 on melon and dropped to #564 on the second day. On Spotify, they recorded less than a 100k streams on its first day which I believe is their lowest number for a full group comeback. I know monthly listeners doesn’t tell the whole story but seeing them below 1 million even after a comeback was also pretty shocking for me. Feels like they hit their peak with Girls Never Die a few years ago and have been on a downhill trend since.
Are they just going to remain as a niche-ly operated group that tries to retain their cash spending fans as much as possible? What do you think they should do to be more recognized?
