#9 for the first week of the Oricon Charts with 11,300 reported sales
comparing it to t other pre album singles sales and rank for week 1

Yumemiru Tsubasa #12 5,850
Namida no Regret #14 9,304
Love Survive #11 13,507

it is still a good figure considering that there is only 1 new song and the B side is a remix of a previous release.

Yeah =/
Now let's wait for the album

well, the sales could have been much worse!
And this single is pretty weak for me, considering that Osaka is just a remix and Pin Heel Surfer is a nice, uplifting song, but overall it gets boring after some time. I never was a big fan of Tokyo either, but Osaka isn't as good as the original. Taiyou scandalous was better imo.
But the album will hit Oricon pretty high hopefully

I'm not a massive fan of the song but it's the best outfits since they stopped wearing uniforms! (I do have a bit of a thing for that "business woman" look....)

@Sabroni
So you like Japanese office ladies as well...hehe

@alrick13
I think that is a respectable sales figure as well for a J-Pop single.
Slightly less than AKB's 1,255,538 for "Gingham Check", but they are Japanese idols of course.

Am I the only one here who thinks that the font for Pin Heel Surfer looks like ultraman's font?

Hey, it's not just Japanese ones, I'm an equal opportunities office ladies fan! ;-)
Of course the ones that happen to be in powerful girly pop rock bands are the best...

I honestly think this is much more ear-friendly than the original...

Wish they could've made a soft rock version of this song like this. It would've been one heck of a unique song

nice.
but if they make it a soft rock version, i think it will be weird.
not because it'll be bad, but it's titled "pin heel surfer", so i think it should be more "fun".

It's very nice, but by no means I find the original ear-unfriendly xD

anyone noticed that Pin Heel Surfer is their 17th single if u count the Indie singles?
