Now for a soloist who can sing!

TEAR DROPS with KG is a midtempo R&B ballad taken from Goto Maki's upcoming album SWEET BLACK

Goto Maki looks so pretty in this PV and YOUNG! I like it a lot more than the last one I saw of her, which was Lady-Rise? I'm not sure, I haven't been following her since she left H!P.
But I really like this song! :)
I'm glad Goto Maki is still doing well!

The new Guardians4 PV is out on Dohhh UP!


---
This is definitely a LOT better than their first PV, the song is better too.
There's still shots of a dodgy model that runs throughout the PV. Last time it was that dodgy looking stadium, this time it's a hedge maze. And they still have clips from the Shugo Chara anime. But this time they don't have that glowy effect and their props are less cheap looking. The setting for their dance shot looked okay, and had nice shots of them drinking various teas in and around a mansion. Some of Risako's facial expressions were really odd though...

Overall, this is a great improvement from their first PV (Hello Project has spent more money on their PVs lately)... Although I still don't like the group, don't particularly like the song and definitely don't like Mitsui Aika.

I really like this single!... More than Shouganai Yume Oibito, and I really liked that single! Both B-sides are good too!!
I hope Morning Musume does well with this release, since they're going up against Ayumi Hamasaki tomorrow.
Good Luck!

Thumbnails of the covers of the Guardians4 new single 'School Days' have surfaced.

Regular Edition:


Limited Edition:


Well, I definitely wasn't a fan of their first single. I donno, this line-up just baffles me, all their voices are so different and don't fit together that well IMO.
But these new covers do look much better than their first ones. I just hope the new PV does too. The first one was TERRIBLE...

Let's just wait and see?

Buono!'s PV for their new single 'Take it Easy' has been released!!



The PV is sooo very cute!
I love the overall look and feeling of it, even though the song doesn't sound typically Buono!
It has a nice simple story, which is fitting for the song, and the girls all look cute and happy!
There's been some REALLY nice PVs from H!P lately!

When I first heard the rip of the song, I didn't really like it, but the PVs changed everything! I should have expected no less.
Oh Buono!... These girls just can't do any wrong in my books.

Some things that I noticed:
They all had sneaker heels on which was totally win! (Obsessed with sneaker heels right now.)
And Airi in the middle... WEIRD! She's SOO TALL!!
And Momo's guitar playing with her pinky up, I'm not sure if that'd work, realistically.

The front cover of Tsugunaga Momoko's 4th photobook has been released.


Not sure If i like this cover... I mean, the composition is REALLY nice. I like it more than Yurina's badly typeset title, mock-magazine front cover. But i think Momoko looks kind of possessed, her eyes are kind of scary! Her sharp looking-into-your-soul eyes don't really match with the soft feeling of the feather and glowing white background...
I think I prefer her two previous covers, but that's just me.
I guess I'll have to wait until the full photobook comes out to make judgement...

The release date is the 21st of August

For reference sake, these are the covers of Momoko's previous 3 photobooks:

(momo, momo16 -ももいろ-, 桃の実) respectively


*EDIT: I've uploaded some scans from Momoko's photobook HERE

The covers for Buono!'s new single 'Take it Easy!' have just been released.

Regular Edition:


Limited Edition:


These covers are SOOOO cute! I love them!! Well, the typography could be better, but I love the colours and fresh summery vibe it gives off. Can't wait to see the PV, I always look forward to seeing their outfits!
Personally, I like the image on the regular edition more. The lighting is nicer and it just looks more natural.

The single is set to be released on the 26th of August, but hopefully we'll get to see a PV and maybe some magazine images before then :) YAY
(btw, Airi's looking almighty tall next to Momo now! I remember when she used to be shorter than Miyabi!)

Tracklist:
1. Take it Easy!
2. キライスキダイキライ (kirai suki daikirai)
3. Take it Easy! (instrumental)
4. キライスキダイキライ (kirai suki daikirai) (instrumental)

So many things were released today!
But, we're a little slow with the update, uni just started back up again. -__-"

First up is the S/mileage 'aMa no jaku' PV
It's actually a better looking PV than a lot of H!P PVs.


We also have the full version of Morning Musume's PV for Nanchatte Renai
I think I like the song more now that I've heard the full version. The PV is kind of standard though...


---
A few recordings of the new songs from some of the new shuffle groups have also surfaced on the net, but I think I'll wait until there's better quality versions before I post anything up.

I will put the links here for those who are curious though:
Pucchimoni V - Pira! Otome no Onegai
Tanpopo# - Umbrella
Aa! - Yume to Genjitsu

A short preview of Morning Musume's upcoming single Nanchatte Renai



It looks pretty good, but nothing really out of the ordinary. Just a dance-shot and close-ups of Takahashi and Reina.

Today, 15th of July, is Kusumi Koharu's 17th Birthday!
She looks so much older for her age!

Speaking of which, Koharu's "Kirarin Revolution Final Stage" DVD was released today too~!



I guess this will be the last time we'll be seeing her as Tsukishima Kirari as the anime has finished.. T-T (you can watch the whole concert at jedimastertrunks4's channel on YouTube!)
But I'm curious to find out what she'll do next （*＾ー＾*）

Happy Birthday Koha!
