Here’s the rundown:
1. 40,000 views: Are there other Avatars other than “Holy Sword Lancelot” and “Instrumentalist Maestro”?
2. 70,000 views: What are Kidou, Kazemaru, Fubuki, Kabeyama, Fudou and Fuyuka doing now?
3. 90,000 views: What’s the Emperor Penguin series of hissatsu techniques going to be in Inazuma Eleven GO?
4. 140,000 views: Info on the member previously from Inazuma Japan, living in Kogarashi Manor!
5. 250,000 views: Endou Mamoru’s wife revealed!
6. 350,000 views: Gojou’s appearance in Inazuma Eleven GO!

So yeah… WATCH THE VIDEOS NOW!!!

Btw, the “Endou’s wife” poll is still going. The official verdict is out but I’ll leave this up as a memento!

*edit* There’s a special note on the bottom stating that the view count is dependent on YouTube’s counter functions, so the numbers on the site may not be an accurate depiction of the current view count. Also quite possible that overloading on the videos causes the view count to stop altogether, temporarily. Bah technology. XD;

*edit2* View count goal numbers changed (100k to 40k, etc), probably because of the flooding problems. Gogogo!
