00 Single - 愛の種 - 50,000 copies sales challenge

Ai no Tane, (JP: 愛の種, Eng: Seeds of Love) is the demo single by Morning Musume. Producer Tsunku offered the chance to Nakazawa Yuko, Ishiguro Aya, Iida Kaori, Abe Natsumi and Fukuda Asuka, who were 5 of the 10 losers, a chance to be taken under his wing. He had only one request and that was for them to record and sell 50,000 copies of their debut single, "Ai no Tane".

The single was released on November 3, 1997. The sales of their single hit 50,000 copies on November 6, 1997.

Honestly speaking, for a debut song, they did very very well, especially when it was in 1997. It is a very nice and upbeat song and I feel it does not get enough exposure. The song has only been performed once and has the lowest number of views on in Morning Musume's Youtube channel. When the single was released, the girls had to go out and sell the CD themselves, and truthfully to be able to sell 50,000 copies in just 4 days is damn awesome. I can totally imaging them running around trying to sell it and it must have been very tough, kudos to them. So below are the information and download link. Enjoy!
