19. Girls’ Times (New song)

So here’s the concert setlist for their Spring concert this year. New song are in BOLD letters. While the non-singing act are in Italicized form.Most of the songs come from their new album. Only one song has been previewed (Girl’s Times) <- I’ll post it later.. Anyway they did something different here. I guess because of their new single (Heroine..) they made a little talk corner about it, and whoever wins this sort of poll gets to be like a princess for uhm.. a few songs. Like in “DARLING I love you” whoever wins is exempted from singing this song. After that performance they’ll have the Heroine corner again and whoever is the “Heroine” gets to do anything she’d like (good for 3 minutes only) I’m sure the fans will like this treat.

Like the previous concert or well the recent ones (Berryz, Mobekimasu, C-ute also I think) did a medley. For this concert Berryz did a medley commemorating their 7th year. I’m not sure what the pattern is. Heck I don’t even know one song they’ll perform (Kimi no Tomodachi) I’ll try to look for it and listen..The Magical Future (Inazuma OST) is included.

So anyway here is the song (Girls Times) this will be their last song too (Concert)

The song sounds okay, but I’m not yet attached to it. 

"Chou Wonderful!6"

C-ute’s 6th album has been announced. Title “Chou Wonderful!6″ (lit. Ultra Wonderful!6)

The translation of the album’s title..I’m not that sure. I checked what “Chou” meant and the translation is “Ultra” It makes sense a little so I guess it really is the translation. Though I’m not that sure. In my last post I mentioned the album. I was rushing and didn’t have much time, but I still wanted to post it.

The album will be release one(1) month after Kiss Me Aishiteru‘s release (3/23) The limited edition will come with a DVD, which includes the jacket making of their shoot and also a dance shot version of their new single. BONUS!! A dance lessonfor “Kiss Me Aishiteru” will be included as well! >< The album will have seven(7) new songs. 

TRACKLIST already posted here

Release Date: March 23

Tracklist~!

So the tracklist of C-ute’s new album and Berryz’ new single has been released.

I’ll start with Berryz first…

1. Heroine ni Narou ka!
2. Hero Araru!
3. Heroine ni Narou ka! (Instrumental)

So the first track is “Heroine ni narou ka!” (which means “I become a Heroine!” ) We’ve heard side-a (but only a part of it) side-b….maybe after a FULL preview release of side-a. Side-b’s (Hero Araru!) translation is “The hero appears“.

This single has really one theme. “HERO/HEROINE” I sort of like the idea that both sides talks about heroes/heroines. Although I’m not quite sure why they picked the name and why I like it. ??? Right now I’m not really sure what the b-side would sound like.

Release Date: March 2

Next C-ute’s new album!

01 Chou Wonderful!

02 Midnight Temptation

03 Kiss me Aishiteru

04 Iza, Susume! Steady go!

05 rururururu

06 Wakaretakunai…

07 Aitai Lonely Christmas

08 Circle

09 Dance de Bakon!

10 3ban houmu 3 ryou me

11 Campus life ~Umarete kite Yokatta~

Another 11-track album of C-ute’s.  Like their 4th Album they have a song that has the same title (“(4) Akogare MY STAR=★Akogare My STAR★“) So for this album they have the title “Chou Wonderful!6” (As usual they have the number of the album) and they have a song named after it “Chou Wonderful!” (lit. Ultra Wonderful/Really Wonderful“) I’m guessing this would be an up-beat song. Just a feeling :>

Their second track “Midnight Temptation” sounds like Maimi’s last solo song from the last album (“Lonely girl’s night“) From the title I think it’ll be something dark and mature. Their third track is “Kiss me Aishiteru” Of course everyone knows this already. Now the next track has a pretty interesting title. “Iza Susume Steady GO!” (lit. Emergency Advice! Steady Go!/Emergency Recommend! Steady Go!/ Emergency Advance! Steady Go!) I’m not quite sure if it’s the exact translation. That’s what came out.  I have a feeling it’ll be one of those lively up-beat C-ute songs. Or maybe it could be a song for Chisa/Mai/Nakky again :\

“Rururururu“… I have a feeling it’ll be like Berryz Koubo’s “Yume de do UP” Just a feeling. I hope it goes to Nakky (SOLO!!) “Wakaretakunai…” I don’t know the translation  My guess for this song it’ll be something ballad again or maybe somewhat like Manoeri’s “Uchi e Kaerou” Another single is included in the album which is “Aitai Lonely Christmas” (That’s the next track) This next track (the one after Aitai..) is another interesting title. “Circle” I don’t really know what it’ll sound like so C-ute just surprise me.

The next track is another single “Dance de Bakoon” Second to the last track is “3ban houmu 3 ryou me” I’m not sure what to expect here nor do I know the translation. So, yeah I’m speechless. For the album’s final track..”Campus life ~Umarete kite Yokatta~” (Their 12th single) and the last single that is included in the album.

This album sounds really interesting. I hope it’ll be better than the last one. (The good ones for me from the last album are Maimi’s & Airi’s solo. Maimi’s voice was bad though.)

Release Date: March 23

Morning Musume- "Fantasy! Juuichi"

Morning Musume's 11th album title has been revealed to be "FANTASY! JUUICHI" It's English translation is "Fantasy! Eleven"

This caught me by surprise because I didn't really expect them to have another album released this year. Although I'm glad to hear the news.

The title's okay. It's a first to see no numbers in the title, but the "Juuichi" is the kanji/japanese of Eleven. So I guess that does count.

I don't know much so I'll re-post again if there's more info revealed.

Release Date: December 1

Manoeri- "More Friends"

Mano Erina will release a second album entitled "More Friends"

I like the title because it sounds like a sequel to her first album. And I love how unique her albums are. Unlike the other units in H!P their album always has numbers (corresponding to the number of albums they have...Like "10 MY ME", "6th Otakebi", "Shocking 5", "Warugaki 1")

I think this is my favorite album title...well for now. I like the sound of it. MORE FRIENDS. It's like a heavenly place where you get to know people better and enjoy the time.

I'm pretty excited to hear what the songs would be...I really like Mano's songs that are ballad-y or ones like "Hanakotoba" & "Kono mune no tokimeki" But her songs like "Genkimono de Ikou!" and "Sekai wa Summer Party" are also fine for me.

I don't know much but hopefully more info will be released in the coming weeks or so...

Release Date: November 24

Amazon page (MORE FRIENDS-2nd Album)

S/mileage- “Warugaki 1″

Hey everyone! I'm going to do this quick because I've got something to do that's more important...I'm just trying to revive my blog ;)

Now the title's not so clear (unless you've heard of this news already) Well “Warugaki 1″ is the title of S/mileage's FIRST ALBUM. Yes...FIRST.

The English translation of the title is "Evil Brat 1" Like any other H!P album it has a number (corresponding to the number of albums the group has released. For S/mileage this is their first. The Eng. translation of the album is sort of weird and I guess they made it like that so that it has somewhat a connection to the title of S/mileage's first concert. I think the concert's title is "Devil Smile Angel Smile" Well I'm excited to hear the songs that will be in the album. One S/mileage produces awesome songs. But they are sort of hard to sing (for me) because the voices of the girls are too high for me..Well that's me :P

Release Date: December 8

Buono- "Buono! Best" (Album) Confirmed

Buono will release a new album entitled "Buono! Best"

It'll be available in 2 versions, A normal one which will only include a CD & a Limited version which will include a CD & a DVD.

I'm glad something new about Buono! has been announced, like when was the last time they released a single?  I hope more information will be revealed and the covers will come up :D

Release Date: August 10

Morning Musume - Namidacchi

I just listened to the preview, and I'm in love with the song! It's a great ballad mixed with an upbeat sound. I'm amazed so much! It's very unique. Not the usual songs of Morning Musume. The bridge is done by Gaki through rapping which is cool :)

Shimizu Saki, Tokunaga Chinami & Sugaya Risako- "Yakimochi wo Kudasai!"

A track from Berryz Koubou's 6th album "Yakimochi wo Kudasai!"  has been released. Shimizu Saki (Berryz Koubou's Captain), Tokunaga Chinami (My fav. girl in Berry Koubou) & Sugaya Risako (Youngest girl and the girl who gets most of the solo lines) are the singers in this track.

I love it!!! My reasons
1. Captain & Chinami sang it
2. I love the happy tune of the song
3. It's all perfect!!!

Okay.. :) You see when I heard it I was like "AH! A happy song!" (in a good way) and the guitar (like Momo & Miya's duet song) is the perfect way to make it perfect! The vocals of Captain, Chii & Risako are too a good factor.

Release date: March 31

Berryz Koubou - "Kibou no Yoru"

A track from Berryz Koubou's 6th album "Kibou no Yoru" has been released. It's a very lovely ballad song. I love the piano in the song. You know while typing this all, I feel like I wanna brake down and cry, because while typing this I'm listening to the song.

I'm glad that this song has a fair lyric distribution and they all sang together all through out the song. But those extra solo lines were given to Risako. I'm not mad okay, I'm just pointing out. I'm happy, very happy for all of them!

Release date: March 31

Sudo Maasa & Kumai Yurina- "Ground Demo Rouka Demo Medatsu Kimi" (グランドでも廊下でも目立 つ君)

A track from Berryz Koubou's album "Ground Demo Rouka Demo Medatsu Kimi" has been released. The song was performed by Sudo Maasa & Kumai Yurina.

I'm glad for both of them, especially Maasa because I think this is another opportunity for her to shine more. Maasa really impressed me on their Autumn concert and in their latest PV. I really thought she was a star. Not like before, I didn't really noticed her that much. So I hope she gets more lines and more songs, if a solo song better!

Compare this to Miya & Momo's song in the album, I like Miya & Momo's song better. I didn't really like the melody. And it didn't really have a catchy tune...So, It kinda disappointed me when I heard it. When the music began, I didn't like it :| it's too uhm...I can't describe it, but I didn't like it. (Okay I keep on saying I didn't like it, blah... so I'll stop now and here's the video)

Release date: March 31

Tsugunaga Momoko & Natsuyaki Miyabi- Ai ni wa Ai Desho ( 愛には 愛でしょ ) Preview Released

A track from Berryz Koubou's 6th album "Ai ni wa Ai Desho"  has been released. The girls who sang the song are Buono members (of course also Berryz Koubou members) Tsugunaga Momoko & Natsuyaki Miyabi.

I think it's a nice song, very passionate love song. I love the guitar solos in the song a very nice touch.and I'm very glad that they gave these two a duet. My friend (Miyabeam/Miyafan) is so happy that Momo & Miya got a duet song in their latest album, bad thing-not out yet!

I think this song is good for concerts. Like the duet song of Momo & Captain, I really love that song! ("Ah! Merry-go-round") So I think this will have the same effect it had on me. I'm practically loving it! I'm glad Momo did her "Buono voice" because I noticed that Momo doesn't really have a squeaky voice in Buono, when she's singing for some Berryz Koubou single or something she uses the mousy voice, So I'm glad she used her Buono voice here. Miyabi was great. I love her voice. It's not too high nor too weird. (not like mine so weird and high at the same time)

Release date: March 31

Berryz Koubou – “Kimi no Tomodachi” Radio Preview & Covers Released

A radio preview for one of the tracks from Berryz Koubou’s 6th album titled "Kimi no Tomodachi" has been released on Momo’s radio show.

I'm not getting much of the vibe in this song. I guess that's how it is for me when new things come in my life :P well I think the melody's okay, I think I like the chorus the best. Well I haven't heard the second part so I'm not really sure what to say so once it's complete I guess I can criticize it :)) Oh... and my worries are done. So the next few weeks again, I'll be posting like a mad man! But I won't post I guess that much one the last week of April to the second week of May I guess but who knows my dad will let me borrow his laptop :)

 I love both covers!!! Momo is definitely cute in the 1st cover. Captain's okay :) Miyabi..the star. Chinami looks f-ing awesome in both covers! I love her bow, and I'm starting to looooveeeee ORANGE! I gotta say Maasa's starting to shine more, with her hair down she looks sooo gorgeous! Yurina looks like a super duper model! and Risako........well you know pretty and gorgeous. I like the second cover's background better since it looks authentic. What I mean is it looks like they really are in a place not like those green screen or whatever. The first cover's background is okay. I like the colors :)

Release Date: March 31

Berryz Koubou- "6th Album" Cover Previews Released

 

A preview for Berryz Koubou's 6th album  has been released on a commercial

I gotta say the covers are looking wow! and their outfits too. I love Captain in the cover she's so adorable and cute, with the cowboy hat! XD  Chi's okay, what am I saying! She looks lovely with the bow! Miya, eh.... hm... no comment *ahem* well I'm not saying she looks awful or something but I just don't like her orig.. :|  Maaaaa! She looks good actually she's improved. Momo looks cute (duh!) Risako's her usual pretty self :P Yurina really looks like a model here in this picture, it's really cute and she's matured!

The release date is set for March 31.

C-ute "Yume ga Aru kara" Preview released.

 One of the tracks from C-ute's 5th album titled "Yume ga aru kara"  has been released.

Well.. it's another ballad song, I noticed most of C-ute's new songs coming from their new album has a ballad tune (just like Buono's 3rd album "We are Buono!") Well... it's nice hearing all of the girl's voices. The song has equality in it. The song's good for warming up the audience.

Hopefully Airi's solo "Aa! Koi" will be released soon... I'm so excited! >.<

The release date is on February 24.

Berryz Koubou- "Osakebi" Album

"Berryz Koubou new album! Anime "Inazuma Eleven" cavalcade of hits, including a tie-up song! March 3 release on both the A side single "I'm a friend of friends!", "Friends of friends I ! (another ver.) ", a making of DVD with bonus footage. Participants filled event tickets."

Berryz Koubou 6th Album - Osakebi (雄叫び) "War Cry"

Yay!!! It's so fast!!! How H!P's releasing stuffs these days... I guess 2010's gonna be a lovely year! ;)

Well.. I really can't figure this out (since it's in Japanese) well... it looks like the 19th-22nd single of Berryz Koubou will be in the album...Here's the link

Japanese Wikipedia page for Berryz Koubou's 6th album "Osakebi"

 I guess it's like coupling the last 3 singles all in all... (and what I mean by that is even the other a-side is in the album) so... that makes seven(7) tracks now... apparently I'm not that sure if the album has new songs.. so we'll just have to wait... I got the info from

Hell! Project forums

Released on March 31.

C-ute- "Shigatsu Sengen", "The Party!" & Yajima Maimi's solo song "Lonely Girl's Night" Preview released.

Three new songs of C-ute's 5th album ("Shocking 5") has been released. The three song's titles are:
*Shigatsu Sengen" (By: C-ute)
"The Party" (also By: C-ute)
"Lonely girl's night" (the solo song of Yajima Maimi)



This is "Shigatsu Sengen". It was a calm happy song... Of course I didn't understand a word... but I feel like they are like uhm... expressing? :) Well.. anyways.. The lyric distribution is equal... all of the girls has a solo line so I'm quite happy cuz it isn't one of those Airi shows... (though I am happy for Airi in some way, but also the other girls need some spotlight too!) Well..  this is a radio rip from maimi's radio program... as they say.. :(

 Next is "The Party!" by: C-ute


The song's ballad.. so again not like C-ute... and all of the girls sing together... so it's kinda equal (lyric distribution) while an R&B music plays... it's actually relaxing :) good for concerts... hope fully most of the songs will be featured in the next tour! :) I like the piano parts.. the instrumental  part :)  really cool :)

Last preview: "Lonely girl's night" solo by: Yajima Maimi


The song's a slow one. and seems like a sad one... like Airi's solo in their 9th single... "Zansho Omimai Moshiagemasu" to be truthful... I really love C-ute's sad songs.. like this one's getting attatched.. not like Berryz... I guess I like Momo's and Captain's duet ("Ah! Merry-go-round") :) also Risako's "Real Love" that's where I got my blog name :P

Back to Maimi.. I really like her voice... different form the other girls... I think they made the right decision in picking Maimi for this song :) well...

I'm pretty impressed with the new sons of C-ute :) I guess the title has a reason :)

Oh...The release date is set for 2/24.

C-ute- "Shocking 5" Album Cover Released

 

Okay... C-ute's album cover was released. The album's title "Shocking 5"

Okay.. I don't have the regular edition so the one I'm showing up there is the Limited version.. Well... I'm shocked! to be frank so I guess the album title's name has a reason! :) 

I like this cover A whole new C-ute.. well not like the usual C-ute, I guess they are all grown-up now :P

Okay... anyways... their hairstyle's... (starting from the top (left-right) then bottom....)
Chisato- I love her hair here! It really suits her! She looks like a rocker ;)
Nakky- Average... not the first time I've seen her without a bangs :P
Mai- Wow! I love her bun! it's not like how Airi's was done before (like in their 1st single "Sakura Chirari") but I guess her bun's better than Airi.. bit messier!
Airi- Simple but sexy? :3
Maimi- I guess it's better than her hairstyle in their latest single "Shock!"  Her hair is somewhat cool :)

Oh... just noticed that the 3 girls there in the back have a different color of clothes (Silver) while the 2 main vocalist (Airi & Maimi) are in Gold.... a bit unfair? well.. anyways... It's nice that Airi's not the only star in C-ute :)

The release date is set for 2/24.
