Well, she's only doing
backup throughout most of the song, her only actual lines being "To say you're the one in my soul get over me and dreaming the world of love" and "Get me back", while everything else just seems to be Tomas Marin's job. This happened a lot in Dave & Domino songs as well, so don't think I'm going against only this one track (though I did hope for a lot more considering it was the first duet between 2 very well-known and tallented titles). I just think 1 Week experimented between the vocalists a lot more effectively and overall worked better as well.

Domino's vocal contribution in Back to 80s is a lot more than you seem to make it out to be though, especially if you compare Back to 80s to Mega NRG Man songs she's done backup for in the past (recently Rock Me and Red Light & Sex.)
I understand what you were trying to say and I do agree that Mega NRG Manm dominates the song (rightfully so it's a 'feat. Domino' not 'and' title) - but saying it's simply a cameo is still a far cry. (Cameos usually don't sing through-out the majority of the song, even if it's just mostly backup.)
(Side tracking a bit, but still sort of on topic... I ~LOOOVE~ how they sung the chorus of Back to 80s with Tomas and Mirka singing on top of each other such as they did. :3)

Both ratings knocked up a bit higher; Para Girl especially is growing on me the more I hear it.

The more I listen to it, the more I adore Para Girl!! I really wish the ending was a fade-out, but it's a small flaw in an otherwise unique and incredibly catchy little tune.
The cute shouts during the hook to spell out P-A-R-A G-I-R-L are just one of the many things that keep me coming back to this track again and again.
PEACE
AND
RHYTHM
ALRIGHT!
GOD (?)
I AM
READY TO
LOVE!!!

About the fade-out on the CD, that was all AVEX's doing. The original version ends with the synth hook, then Domino spelling "P A R A G I R L"

I'm not sure if that version is up on Mu-Mo or not, but if I remember correctly, the full version is heard on the DVD near the end when they do the montage of footage from the parapara shoot.

Yeah, unfortunately they fade it out at the start of the last synth hook, which is pointless because for them to have the actual ending would have probably only been 4 or 5 seconds longer, and especially on mu-mo, I don't expect an extended version to not actually be the full version...

Maybe if there was no link on Initial D forums, that number would be higher!

Actual physical album sales are only part of the story nowadays - the true success of 190 should be measured on the album sales combined with offical download sales (from mu-mo etc.)

Actually it shouldn't because 190 was intended to be a nonstop mix of songs. Obviously when you download it from Mu Mo you don't get the entire nonstop mix (or any mix at all) Thus defeating the CDs purpose.
