Momusu Updates~

More updates! Yes.. now this time it’s Morning Musume.. Well first you see that picture ^ That’s the new profile picture of Momusu (Official Hello Project Site) Then next is more updates about their new single..

TRACKLIST

1. Maji Desu ka Ska! (まじですかスカ！)
2. Motto Aishite Hoshii no (もっと愛してほしいの)
3. Maji Desu ka Ska! (まじですかスカ！ Instrumental)

I think “Maji desu ka Ska!” means “Are you serious?” or “Seriously?” about the Ska! I think I read something about it before.. I think they said it was some kind of genre I dunno. So up until now I don’t get the “Ska!” part. For their b-side I think it means (from Google translate) “Want to love more” I’m guessing it’d be something like “Ame ga furanai…” Just guessing :>

Now full radio preview!! After I saw it on youtube I immediately listened to it. It sounds so effing awesome! After listening to it a couple of times I started singing along. Lucky the person who uploaded it included lyrics. So yeah I’ve been trying to memorize it and yeah theres progress.

The song is pretty good. Very different from the Momusu now. Why..well the recent releases of MM has been mature-ish (Like Onna to Otoko.. and Onna ga medatte..) Probably because most of the members are 17/18 + of age. While now they have the new members. In the previous Bijou Gaku episode they described the song as “upbeat and refreshing..it represents the “new-ness” of the 9th gen.

PLEASE LISTEN TO IT!!!

Oh and here’s this week’s Bijou Gaku.. I’ll upload the RAW one and the other video that has subs (ENG) Oh and I’ll include the one from last week and 2 weeks ago.

EDIT: Oh and one more thing.. Momusu will be releasing another single (their 46th to be exact) this May (on the 18th) and will have 4 versions (Regular, Limited A,B,C) Currently untitled. I’m shocked to hear the news (Quite like Berryz) Currently the groups that have new single announcement are S/mileage (5th), Berryz (26th) & Momusu (46th) I wonder when C-ute & Manoeri will have their next. I hope C-ute’s next one will be as awesome as “Kiss me..” while Manoeri’s last one was good, but it wasn’t enough (I think her sales were low. I THINK)

EDIT 2:

Okay another update.. a radio preview of this single’s b-side (Motto Aishite Hoshii no) has been released. It was previewed on Sayu’s radio show. This b-side reminds me of “Nakidasu Kamo Shirenai yo” and “Aishite Aishite Ato Ippun” Both are b-sides. (The first one coming from “onna ga medatte..” and the second one from “kimagure princess”) I dunno it just has the same feeling or vibe.  Very different from the a-side.

Well I’m not sure about the lyric distribution because the quality isn’t that good, but I’m sure that I heard Ai’s voice a couple of times. Reina had a couple of solo lines too. Sayumi sang the “whoa whoa yeah yeah” parts I think and there are parts she sang it with another girl. This is just a short version and the quality is not that good. I do hope they give the new members solo lines here too.

まじですかスカ! (Maji desuka Suka!)

Morning Musume’s 45th single’s title has been announced! “Maji Desuka Suka!” (lit. まじですかスカ!/ Seriously?! Suka!)

I don’t know much and I’m not even sure if it’s official (got it from Hell!Project)

All I know is it’s the 9th gen’s first single and it will have 5 versions – Regular, Limited A (+DVD), Limited B(+DVD), Limited C(+DVD), Limited D(+DVD).

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

Heroine Previews!

So I think everyone knows about the new single of Berryz (Heroine ni Narou ka!) I think we're on the same page. Well I've posted in my other blog the concert previews of this single. They were wore the same outfits as what they are using up there^. 

Berryz Koubou’s Heroine ni Narou ka! has some picture previews. It’s really small but at least we have right.

The outfits they used here are also used at the Winter concert (’11) So I’m guessing (like the yellow/purple outfits of C-ute) that it’s official. I’m glad they’ve picked mature and casual-ish clothes. The last one (Shining Power) was just Gehh. I hope they use another set of clothes as well (like C-ute’s casual and dance clothes)

Everyone has okay clothes but the one that I dislike is Miya’s. Everyone is wearing black and she just had to break it. She’s wearing a peach-colored dress with a denim vest. While the others are wearing black/white-themed clothes.

As for their hairstyles the most shocking is Captain’s hair in the picture. I don’t know if it’s natural or it’s extensions (but i doubt it if it’s natural) Anyway in the group shot (the second one) she looks a bit like Risako (Captain) :O Maasa looks like she doesn’t have bangs again! Chii’s hair sucks. Okay it’s good but the flyaway hair ruins it. Risako actually looks gorgeous here, and I’ve noticed that her hair grew (It was a bit shorter in Shining Power) Momo has the same hairstyle that she used in “Our Songs” (Buono!) and Yurina once again looks pretty and seems to be in the center again..I don’t know just maybe. Wait. Miya! Miya again stands out. She’s the only one wearing a hat. SUCKS. but at least she’s pretty and has a good voice right?  *No offense to Miya’s fans.

Release Date: March 2

Berryz Koubou- "Shining Power"

The tracklist and a preview of the song SHINING POWER has been released.

1. Shining Power
   
2. Chotto Samishii na
   
3. Shining Power (Instrumental)

 I've already heard the preview of Shining Power. Like what I thought of before, it's somewhat alike to the B-side of MAJI BOMBER! which is MOON POWER. Compared to the MAJI BOMBER single this is disco-y and ballad-y. Sounds a bit like Ryuusei Boy (the Shining Shining part) This is still a preview so I don't know how the whole song sounds like...So far I'm loving it.

The Eng. Translation of the B-side title is Lonely for a moment. I gotta feeling that this one would be a ballad song. Just a feeling :>

Now for the preview...

Morning Musume- “Appare! Kaitenzushi” LQ Preview Released

An LQ preview of Morning Musume's 44th single “Appare! Kaitenzushi” has been released.

I didn't exactly listen to it because the noise irritates me, and I couldn't understand the song. It was difficult to hear it. I'll just update this post once the HQ version is released.

Release date: October 13

Here's another version but still it's LQ, but somewhat clearer

C-ute - "Dance de Bakoon!" PV released

The PV for C-ute's 13th single "Dance de Bakoon!" has been released.

The PV's okay.. out of 10 it's 7.5 I don't really like the setting. It makes me a bit dizzy, also when they're in their white outfits it simply ruins the PV,but the black outfits are okay ;)

Judging time :D

• Song- 3.5
• Covers- 5
• PV- 3
• Outfits- 4.5
• Vocals- 4.5
• Dance- 4
• Close-up - 4
• Lyric distribution- 4.5

Total= 33/40

I gave the song 3.5 because the start of the song sucks. Maimi sounded like she was drunk, and I think the guys who made the song made it out of boredome. :| 

Although when the chorus came it made me like the song more. I love the second chorus more, Chisato's voice sounded awesome! The vocals were okay except Maimi's. Like I said in some parts like 0:39, 0:51, 1:51, 2:03. She really sounded like she drank how many shots.. No offense to the Maimi fans...I gave the lyric distribution a 4.5 because at least Maimi had some spotlight in this single, not only Airi. Although I feel a bit sorry to the 3 girls...They didn't give them much lines..but at least I can hear them clearly. 

The covers are a perfect 5! I love 'em! The PV didn't impress me so much that's why I only gave them a 3 there. I <333333 the outfits!! but the white outfits didn't suit the PV so well that's why I gave them a 4.5 As for the Dance & Close-up I both gave them 4. The dance was okay I guess and seems fun, while the close-up was a simple close-up. Maimi & Airi are together sharing an old microphone, while Nakky, Chisa & Mai are together. 

Release date: August 25

S/mileage- “Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!!” PV Released

The PV for S/mileage's 2nd Single “Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!!” has been released.

It's a fun & a funny PV :) That's what I've gotta say. The PV suits the song. They goof off in the PV and the song is for those who need to loosen up!

Overall the Single's pretty good. I'm not sure what's better..."Yume Miru 15" or this one... :|
but Like I said everything's good. The song's my type. I love the outfits and the covers. The PV's awesome! They all looked cute in the dance shot :) and when they were making those funny faces :))

C-ute -New Profile Pics for “Dance de Bakoon”

The official H!P site has updated C-ute's profile with new pictures. Outfits that are used for their 13th single “Dance de Bakoon”

Wow. My first impression on the outfits. I first saw Airi in her outfit cuz of my friend from the forums. Then I decided to check some updates and I saw that the outfits have been revealed. Without looking at the full body picture it looks awesome. I thought that they had mini dresses, but when I saw the full body picture I was shocked to see it really was a dress.

The outfits are okay I guess. I'm not quite sure what I like better, the campus life ~umarete kite yokatta~ outfits or this. Both outfits are awesome. Here, everyone looks like an angel, while in the campus life thing, they look like uhm... gorgeous girls with pink uniforms (shorts not skirts)

I think Nakky caught my attention. She looks awesome! It suits her so much. I love her hairstyle the accessory in her hair looks good on her. and she's GORGEOUS.

Next would be Chisato :) She's my #2 in C-ute after all. In this single & the previous one, she really looks girly. Cuz for me, C-ute's 9th single (Shochuu...) she started to become girly :| So I guess that's why she quickly became one of my favorites. Okay. I'll change "Girly" to "Mature" She matured sooooo much... Before she still had her bangs up and she had short hair, and she looks funny :))

Here's a picture of her... :)

See???

Airi looks gorgeous (of course) I think now Maimi's short hair suits her. Like before I complain about her cutting her hair short and it doesn't suit her, but now she looks like uhm.. like before!! She looks awesome! Mai looks a bit scary and boyish :( Im starting to dislike Mai... Unlike before she's so girly :(

Well.. here's the full body pic..

Release Date: August 25

Mano Erina- “Genkimono de Ikou!”

The title for Mano Erina’s 8th single has been revealed to be Genkimono de Ikou! on the official H!P site. The title for the c/w has also been revealed to be Uchi e Kaerou!(Eng: Returning Home) which was the ending theme for Mano’s Kai-Ki: Tales of Terrormovie.

Quote: Hello!SayuNii

Sorry..I've been out for so long, so I'll just compile all info about Mano's new single...as you can see I just quoted the info about the single..Next I'll post the preview of the song...



Video Uploaded by: argel737 

I like the song :) 

Just by the title it sounds like an energetic song and the type where when you're bored and you hear the song, you feel energize! I'm writing while listening to the song, cuz this is the first time I heard it. I LOVE IT! Compared to her "Haru no arashi" & "Onegai Dakara" I like this wayyyy better than the two combined :P

I'm not saying the past two singles suck, but I guess for me I like Mano singing these kind of songs. Just like her 5th single ("LOVE & PEACE=PARADISE") That's one of my favorite Mano single. In the song I really liked the part where Mano just say "Iku yo!! Seno!! Genki!!" She's encouraging us to be like happy or something I think. :|

Now... the H!P Profile Pic...

She looks awesome ;) but it kinda feels incomplete :| I dunno what but I just feel it is. However this is an energetic song so I guess this is also good cuz she can dance and move freely with these kind of clothing.

Hopefully the PV will be awesome and also her rankings in the Oricon? chart will be good.

Release Date: September 15

C-ute - 13th Single “Dance de Bakoon”

C-ute will have a new single entitled “Dance de Bakoon”  It will be available in three versions, Regular, Limited A & B.

It's been like how many months since their last single and finally a new one! I've got no idea though how it will turn out cuz C-ute's full of surprises this year. I do hope it'd be like "Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~" I really liked that single, Compare to the "Shock" single.

About the English Translation of the title it's "Dance at Bacone" (I got it from Hell!Project) Though I still don't understand it... Bacone? WTF?!

Well never mind, hopefully more info will be revealed.

Release Dates:

Single: August 25
Single V: September 1

S/mileage new single!

Wow, S/mileage's fast in singles! Like I said in the title they have a new single, MAJOR, not an indie :P The single will have a regular version and 3 Limited versions.

Currently no more information has been released (even the single's title!) but the release date is on July 28 (The single) and the Single V is on August 4

Berryz Koubou's 23rd Single "Honki Bomber!!!"

Berryz Koubou's now back with a new single titled "Honki Bomber!!!" 

The translation of the title is "Serious Bomber" and yeah I think it will be still used as a theme song for the anime "Inazuma Eleven" I think too that the song will be kinda like "Otakebi boy WAO!" a serious mature song. Even "Seishuun Bus Guide" is a bit mature...the "Ryuusei Boy" song is just weird for me..well anyway I'm looking forward to the new single...

Release date is on the 14th of July which is 2 months? from now..well can't wait!!

Morning Musume- 43rd Single "Seishun Collection (青春コレクション)"

Morning Musume's 43rd single entitled "Seishun Collection (青春コレクション)"  will be released on June 9. For the Single V, it would be on June 16. There will be regular, limited A,B, & C plus the single V version.

According to neowing, this single will be the theme song for their new stage play "Fashionable" .

Oh.. and the title's English translation would be "Youth Collection" Since "Seishun" means "Youth" in English. I also read the translation of Neowing, and it's the same with my conclusions. I'm thinking that the song would somehow have a cute-ish melody, since it's a collection of youthful girls I think... but at least we know what it would be like. 

Neowing page for Morning Musume's 43rd Single

C-ute - 12th Single "Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~"

The title for C-ute’s 12th single has been revealed to be Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~ on Neowing.

I'm kinda guessing that the PV will mostly be about Campus Life since well the title has that :P So, I think we'll see uniforms (short skirts and ya know...) and I guess class rooms and stuffs :P the Japanese way :P


Neowing page for C-ute's 12th single


Well I'll also post the radio preview...I haven't actually seen it or heard it but I will now :)





Okay...I just listened to it and it was cute!!! it kinda reminds me of some song of Berryz Koubou's but i can't say it :|


I say I think this is a better song than SHOCK since I can fairly say that they all get lines and well, I think it's not one of those "Airi and the Suzuki's" show :P


Release date: April 28

Mano Erina’s 7th Single Title Released, “Onegai Dakara…”

Mano Erina’s 7th single title has been revealed to be Onegai Dakara… on HMV’s site.

The song's title sounds all so ballad-y like the songs og C-ute in their new album.  The title's English translation like "Please...But" I think or something like that :P

Well I'm not totally into those genre the too slow types but I really liked her 4th single...I can't remember the title but it was good in a way. It was a ballad-y song too

Release date: May 12.

C-ute - 12th Single Announced

 

 Like Mano Erina, C-ute's new single has been announced by Neowing. There will be 3 versions; Regular, Limited A & Limited B. The single V has also been announced, it'll be released 2 weeks after the release of the single.

Well... I hope that this next one wouldn't be another "Airi and the Suzuki's" show :P because seriously, I think they didn't do well with their last single, since it's all Airi... they really didn't give the other girls some solo lines except the "Shock!" thing or "Chaa!" thing at the end of the chorus... Airi got all the solo lines... bad and good thing since all Airi fans (like myself) would die just hearing her, while those "Anti-Airi" or those who love the other girls more, well they are out there rallying with bunch of angry mobs saying like "WE WANT NAKKY" or "WE WANT MAIMI" or "WE WANT MAIMAI" or "WE WANT OKAI" get the point? well there.... :)

I guess they kinda learned there lesson. cuz in their album "Shocking 5" they totally gave all the girls solo lines, and well there's equality in the album ;)

The release date for the single is on April 28, while the single V's release date is on May 12.

Mano Erina- 7th Single Confirmed

  

 Mano Erina’s 7th single has been confirmed by Neowing. The Limited A version will have a DVD while the others, (Limited B & Regular version) will not. (Regular – CD only, Limited A – CD, DVD, and Event ticket, Limited B – CD and Event ticket).

The a-side will be written by Miura Yoshiko. She has also written "Haru no arashi" the latest single of Mano Erina, I think the new single will be as good as her latest single. 

The release date is on May 12.

Neowing official Mano Erina site

S/mileage- "Otona ni Narutte Katashi"

 

 スマイレージ インディーズ 4thシングル「オトナになるって難しい!!!」

 Okay... I just wanted to post this clearer version of the song because before I just posted the Concert rip of the song... (they performed it at the winter concert 2010) so.. here :) oh... and this is the radio rip of the song.. because someone was talking at the end... though I'm not sure who's voice... :|

わかりました… 私はちょうど私がちょうど歌のコンサートの裂け目を…掲示した前にので歌のこのより明確な版を掲示したいと思った (それらは冬コンサート2010年でそれを行った)そう。 ここに:) オハイオ州… そしてこれは歌の無線の裂け目。である。 ので誰かが端に話していた… 声は…であるかだれ私が確実ではないけれども : |
  

 

Video uploaded by: suteinualive2

It's a nice song since it's happy just like their past single "Suki-chan" While I was listening to the song they all seem to have solo lines so I guess it's nice to hear.. but I want a single of theirs where Kanon and at least Ayaka (DAWA) get to be the star... unlike their first two... ("aMa no jaku" & "Asu wa Date na no ni, Imasugu Koe ga Kikitai") Most of the lines are snagged by Momo jr. (Yuuka) and Saki3 (Ogawa)

それは私が歌を聞くことは素晴らしい。ことをすべてに単独ラインがあるようである従って私推測するであるそれら聞いている間過去のように幸せちょうど選抜する「スキちゃん」をので素晴らしい歌である。 しかし私は花音および少なくとも彩花 (DAWA)が…星がであることを得るところで彼等の物の単一がほしいと思う 最初2とは違って… (「ぁまのじゃく」「あすはデートなのに、今すぐ声が聞きたい」)ラインのほとんどはもも jr.によって素早く手に入れられる。 (憂佳)およびSaki3 (紗季) 

 Okay... I'm just gonna post some pictures of them...

 わかりました… 私はちょうどそれらのある映像を掲示する行っている…
