- Information
"Shouganai Yume Oibito" is the thirty-ninth single released by Morning Musume. "3, 2, 1 BREAKIN' OUT!" was used as theme song for the Anime Expo 2009, which Morning Musume attended. The single was released in limited A, limited B, and regular editions; both limited editions coming with bonus DVDs. The limited editions and the first press of the regular edition came with a serial number card which, when entered in a lottery, could win a ticket to one of the single's launch events. The single reached #1 on the Oricon charts and charted for five weeks, selling 53,950 copies and becoming the #111 single of 2009.. The Single V reached #5 on the Oricon charts and charted for three weeks, selling 7,111 copies. The Event V was sold only during launch events, and therefore did not chart on the Oricon charts.
