O.M.G I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN SO LONG!! I KNOW I SAID I WOULD, BUT I'M A TOTAL LIAR! I KNOW I KNOW, I HAD SO MANY POSTS PLANNED... -___-
SEASONS GREETINGS! MERRY CHRISTMAS! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I can't believe I've missed all of them!! Where have I been? i would like to know too! Guaaahhh... I'm SORRY!! >< I know I didn't want these recap posts to become frequent, but unfortunately, here is volume 3...
--- Morning Musume
A radio rip of Morning Musume's 42nd 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai' single is out!
I'm kinda excited for this single! It sounds good! Very Takahashi Ai and Reina heavy as usual. The violin instrumental kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon, you know whenever Uranus and Neptune appear? LOL
Release Date: 10 February (Single V: 24 February)
Morning Musume are also to release their tenth studio album in the new year. Entitled '10 My Me' the album will include 12 tracks, four of which are likely to be their last four singles – 'Shouganai Yume Oibito,' 'Nanchatte Renai,' 'Kimagure Princess' and 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai.' This means there will also be at least 8 new Momusu songs we can look forward to!
The album will be released with a regular and limited edition. The limited will come with a bonus DVD which will include a LIVE version of 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai' and also solo versions for each member.
Release Date: 17 March
Gaki-san also CUT HER HAIR!
She looks chubbier now...
--- Berryz Koubou
FINALLY BERRYZ NEWS! Berryz news has been quite scarce this past year, probably because of all their double A-side singles and their stage production.
And now to add to their repertoire, a THIRD double A-side single! 'Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda! / Otakebi Boy WAO!' is the title of their 22nd single, which roughly translates to 'A friend is a friend / War Cry Boy WAO!' Just as with their previous song 'Ryuusei Boy,' their new song 'Otakebi Boy WAO!' will be used as the next ending song for anime Inazuma Eleven.
Four versions of the single will be released – Regular edition and Limited A, B, and C. A Single V for 'Otakebi Boy WAO!' has also announced.
Release Date: 3 March (Single V: 10 March)
--- ºC-ute
The PV for ºC-ute's upcoming single 'SHOCK' has been out for quite some time now and caused a bit of a stir because it's pretty much an Airi solo song.
I do like the song since it's catchy and has that James Bond/Arabian feel, but I kinda feel sorry for the other members, none of whom get a single solo line except for saying the word 'shock' once. It's a bit of pity. Ume-san just graduated, you'd think now they'd each have more of a chance to be in the spotlight, but no... Just as the song title explains 'SHOCK' ºC-ute is now Suzuki Airi feat. ºC-ute.
Live performance on Music Fighter
It was funny in this clip that Airi even got to speak for the group. Isn't that usually the leader's job? Poor Maimi!
Release date: 6 January
--- S/mileage
A PV preview for S/mileage's third and final indies single is out!
Cute!
Single V: 2 January (That's today!)
--- Guardians4
The official Guardians4 profile on the Hello!Project website has been updated with the girls in their new fugly yellow outfits.
Damn that colour looks bad!
The covers for their new single 'Going On!' have also been released. Regular Version
Limited Edition
However much I dislike the colour of their new outfits, I must admit I do like these covers. They're vibrant and fun and Kumai-chan looks like a giant!
Release Date: 20 January
--- Photobooks
Kamei Eri
Kamei-san will be releasing her 8th photobook this year and along with it, a third solo DVD. The location of her new photobook has been revealed to be Hawaii.
