"One Two Three / The Matenrō Show" (One・Two・Three/The 摩天楼ショー?) is the 50th single by the Japanese female idol group Morning Musume.[2] It was released in Japan on July 4, 2012.[3]

Background

The release was announced during the Morning Musume's May 18 concert at Nippon Budokan, at which its title and release date were made public.[3] The song "One Two Three" was premiered at the Girls Award 2012 Spring/Summer ceremony on May 26.[3][4][5]

This is Morning Musume's first single with Sayumi Michishige as leader of the group. It is also the first single in over 10 years to not feature a 5th generation member since "Mr. Moonlight (Ai no Big Band)" and the first in over 5 years to not feature an 8th generation member since "Egao Yes Nude".

Release details

The single will be released in seven versions: a regular edition and six limited editions: A, B, C, D, E, and F.
