You realise that Take a Picture / Poppin' Shakin' was released later in April compared to Step and a Step which was released in December last year, right? If we are measuring cumulative sales at the mid-point of 2021, it's only appropriate that TAP/PS has built up less sales than SaaS. If anything, the fact that TAP/PS came close to SaaS' sales in only two months rather than the six months it took SaaS shows a rapid increase in NiziU's popularity and sales, rather than decrease.

Looking forward to seeing how NiziU grows further after their debut year.

Relax. They are a YG troll and could care less if there is any reason at all. Just point that his it must be consoling to know that there favs at YG aren't on a decline because they already are at zero and can't go down any more as there is no such thing as negative charting. But if there was then they would be kings of that charting system.

Uhhm what? I'm Niziu fan that doesn't like the direction the group is taking music wise. Sony is turning them into another 46/48 like group that releases new low quality songs every 3 months. Every Niziu song since "Make you Happy" dropped faster from the charts than the previous one.

Song "Quality" wise such and MV production wise each release has been more planned out and better. Yes Make You Happy was a national hit but that was mainly because they were brand new and came off of a national hit TV show. Hype will naturally fade with time esp if they are not in the public eye directly with a long break. I think their break between MYH and SaaS was too long but it is what it is. However their sounds and style of dancing has no resemblance what so ever to the 46/48 groups. 46/48 groups do group singing almost to an exclusion of individual singing. The Akimoto groups do modern or interpretative type of dancing and not the hip hop/Jazz that NiziU does. Production methods are being done exclusively by JYP in Korea as well and do not have a Japanese style about them at all. But you are right. Make You Happy has dropped less than the others but remember it was the only MV for about 6 months as well and was a digital release only. Japan is still more physical than digital and if a group has put out a physical and digital release then those that buy the physical don't stream. NiziU is an outlier because they are fairly big in both. They aren't and most likely never will be the biggest in steaming. That belongs to Hige danDism, Ado, Yoasobi, etc... and never will be the biggest physical releases, that is the Johnny & Associate groups, 48/46 groups and such. I mean if BTS fans knew that they would get to hold hands with their favorite BTS member just by purchasing a few more albums imagine what their sales would be then? But add ALL of them up Digital/Steaming/Physical and they are right at the top and have gotten better. Last year at Year end Billboard had them 12th year end for Hot 100. Right now they are 7th in the hot 100. For Top artist the overall ranking they are currently 4th in the top artists while last year they were 15th for top artists. So while you may not like their direction and are entitled to it. You aren't entitled to spread miss-information and not get called out on it.

Obviously Niziu charted lower last year because they released less songs. It's based on a total of all your charting songs after all. Still they is a downward trend noticable and I simply contribute that to the songs getting worse. I do agree that the MV production got better and I appreciate a good MV, but the songs will always be my number one priority.

Anyway the song quality getting worse is my own opinion, which I don't expect everyone to agree on.
