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. 

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.

Heroine Radio Preview!

Berryz Kobo’s newest single ”Heroine ni Narou ka!” now has a radio preview.

Finally! A preview has been released. It was aired on Momo’s radio show. I don’t know when she did but at least there is now. At the start of the video you’ll hear Momo talking about the new single. First she introduced it and asked us to listen to it. She must’ve said this new one is cool (I think) and sexy. I think I heard the word “Sexy”  when she introduced it. Starts at about 0:26 The vocals start at 0:48

Risako sings first. She did a good job..Didn’t ruin the song (at least) Then more girls sing their solo lines. From what I can hear everyone gets a solo, well I think everyone..I’m not really sure if I heard Yurina… Seriously I didn’t really hear her voice. Though maybe I just heard it differently.

The song’s chorus was the best. It sounded like another HP song though I’m not sure what..this part 1:56 & 2:16, The melody and beat of this part really sounds so familiar.. I’m guessing Morning Musume…Oh! I remember..”Please Please Please Please Go on!” I remember the song (Daite yo! PLEASE GO ON) High-King performed @ Hello Project Summer FANKORA! (’10) At about 0:46..

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.

S/mileage – “Smile Bijin” and “Ganbaranakutemo Iin da yo” Radio Preview

Two S/mileage songs from their second single "Ganbaranakutemo ee nende" have been released.“Smile Bijin” and “Ganbaranakutemo Iin da yo" are the titles.

For “Ganbaranakutemo Iin da yo” Nothing really changed, just the lyrics. The part where they say "Ganbaranakutemo ee nende".

For “Smile Bijin” I love the melody and the rhythm. And it reminds me of "Yume Miru 15" I really like that song so I guess it has the same vibes for me. 

Both songs are okay for me...Doesn't suck or bores me to death so I guess I'll be downloading the songs once I can find a link :)

"Smile Bijin" Preview

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

Berryz Koubou – “Otakebi Boy (Spark Ver.)” Preview Released

A preview of the song “Otakebi Boy (Spark Ver.)” has been released. It's a c/w of their 23rd single "Maji Bomber/Honkii Bomber" if you buy the Limited A or B. I know the regular version doesn't include this in the CD

The preview's a Radio RIP in the start I could hear Captain (or is it Chii or Miya?) and Kumai-chan introducing the song. The song actually is somehow like a remix SOMEHOW of the song. I don't really know the changes but I feel like there is, I really just can't point it out.. Or is it the guitar there? The guitar parts there is somehow like one of the lead vocals, and the girls' voices seem like they became deeper....

The song is short they didn't previewed the whole song so let's wait for a better preview...this one's LQ

Release Date: July 21

S/mileage- “Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!!” Covers/Radio Preview Released

 

Click cover for bigger Image

I'll start first with the covers... They haven't stated what cover is for what version... so there... Among the four covers I think I like the third one... where the background is white and they are all seated on a bench. Yuuka, DAWA looked like they were gossiping. Then Sakii3 (Ogawa) looked like she was in her own world eating a hotdog I think... the n Kanon's daydreaming resting her head on DAWA's shoulder.. :>

My Second I think would be the one where they were in their black outfits... :> I think it's nice with their canes... It's a prop I think for their dance since I saw them practicing the dance (in the upfrontchannel channel in youtube) I also like their background there! The first two's okay, it looks like an old newspaper...and there's like a text there in English

"After the spectacular debut on 2010 May 26th, S/mileage, Ayaka, Yuuka, Kanon, Saki hasalready announced their 2nd single, “GANBARANAKUTEMOEENENDE!!” Rumor has it, the new song is great and sweet. Fans say they can hardly wait for the new release!!"

-Quote from Hello!SayuNii

There's even a date there.. "July 28, 2010" and it says there "Produced by: Tsunku" (the name tsunku's in hiragana)

Well next the radio preview...


Video Uploaded by: xlozziex3




Now I'm starting to like it <3 Because in my last post I said that it annoys me a little bit...but now after lots of times of playing it over and over again I'm starting to like it :> It is sweet and GREAT now AWESOME! :)

Now only the PV's missing so I can't waiitt!!!

Release Date: July 28

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

A preview of S/mileage's 2nd Single entitled  “Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!!” has been released.

Although the preview doesn't have good quality.. Since it was performed live at their FC event.

Back to the song...I have already listened to it (in one of the videos posted by upfrontchannel in youtube) but it was like a no vocals version yet.. in fact they were still learning the song...then i heard the version where they were still recording it..and the part where they were practicing the dance.

My first comment there was "WOW! another happy for-little-girls song" somehow like the "Otona ni narutte muzukashii!!" and the "Suki-chan" song...I'm not saying this single is bad...don't jump into conclusions, but I do like it, but I get a little distracted with the clown tool ya know the beep beep thing (memory block) a bit and the uhm what do you call that? the loud percussion stuff...whatever well a bit too annoying for me...but the song is cute and uhm funny in a way... For now I like their "Yume Miru 15" better but I guess this is how I start with new things...At first I like dislike it and uhm compare it to the past single or something but I start to like it after a couple of days.. :D

According to a tweet from S/mileage staff, we will get a chance to hear the radio rip...hopefully :D

Release Date: July 28

Berryz Koubou's 23rd Single "Honki Bomber!!"『本気ボンバー！！」Longer Preview

Okay the preview I posted before is really a preview...but now here's a longer one...(got it from the forums! Now Skies found it) It sounds awesome! (I told you I'd update ;) )


Okay I'll say it again, It's so f-ing awesome! I can hear Kumai-chan have lots of solo lines so a new change! And Chinami too has a solo line!!! >.< Can't wait for everything! The covers, the PV! and hmmm...the live versions? :D


I'm glad that they gave Bear-chan lots of solo lines in this single...but I do hope that in the next single Chinami will be the one to own the single! >.< 


Release Date: July 14

I found this in Hello!SayuNii...See? Kumai-chan has a lot of lines here tied with Miya & Momo, guess her voice is more appropriate for this song.... Oh and another EDIT... I also found out that it's suppose to be "Maji Bomber!!!" not "Honki Bomber" but the English Translation's still "Serious Bomber"

Berryz Koubou's 23rd Single "Honki Bomber!!"『本気ボンバー！！」Preview?!

I got this from the forums, my friend Missy found it in youtube. She said she was bored and found this...We aren't sure yet if it's actually a preview, but it was posted in the upfrontchannel....So let's just wait for the updates...but if this is actually the preview of the single then listen!!!

I'll update this once the official preview is posted....

Mano Erina- "Onegai Dakara...." (お願いだから・・・) Radio Preview Released

A preview for Mano Erina's "Onegai Dakara" has been released.

The song starts all techno type then Mano like sings something. Then comes the actual vocals part. I gotta say I like the lyrics. I mean I don't understand it fully. But I feel like she's telling a sad story or something like that. The type where relationships are about to end up. Something like that.

My final opinion on the song is okay-ish. It's not that bad nor not that good. I won't say much now. But once the b-side comes or once everything has been released I'll say my final final opinion.

Release date: May 12

S/mileage- "Yume Miru Fifteen" Radio Preview Released

A radio preview for S/mileage's major debut single entitled "Yume Miru Fifteen" has been released.

I have to say it has a nice beat and melody. I like it! It's like an older S/mileage. I'm definitely excited to see the PV, the cover's and well everything about the single!!! This is S/mileage's major single debut. So I'm really really excited. Hopefully the b-side will also be this good. I can't f-ing wait!

Release Date: May 26

Yume Miru Fifteen Radio Preview

C-ute - “Tachi Agare Otome Tachi” Radio Preview Released

A preview for C-ute’s c/w to their 12th single "Tachi Agare Otome Tachi" has been released.

The song has a ballad tune. But it's kind of dark. I actually like the song since these are the types of songs that tune me up. Like I start to sing along. There's a phrase in the song where they say the title. It's actually addicting if you play that part on and on. Or the whole song. Over all I liked it very much!

Release date: April 28

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
