I like the chorus, but the verses are messy. Hopefully they will sound better in HQ.
|
Ugh... really?
Back to Ai/Reina + their back up dancers/singers, non-Genki song, the new favorite getting lines but not a single line for the other kyukkies... this is just one gigantic facepalm. |
Forget about Only You for now, watch Momoiro Sparkling PV!
Cute and colorful PV, love the jumping scenes :heart But the song is kinda boring... Also, May 7th means, Happy Birthday Konkon :heart http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2794/43564tz4.gif |
I actually like the PV even though it's standard for H!P. The song isn't as great..I feel like it's more of a b-side or albums song. T_T
|
I actually like the song :yes
|
Some idol group who recently released a PV used exactly the same doors, in the same position as ºC-ute, I can't recall the name of the group yet
|
I like the PV. So cute!!!!! Kawaii~:love
The song is awesome too. LOVE :blove |
The song is fine, the PV looks so cheap.....
|
Don't know if it has already been posted, but it seems that there will be auditions for the 10th generation of MM in June.
It's somehow really fast, maybe he isn't satisfied with the recent additions...? |
^ I guess that's it, he is not sure if the girls are good enough to maintain the group status/sales
Morning Musume March Ranking: 1 Ai Takahashi 2 Sayumi Michishige 3 Riho Sayashi 4 Reina Tanaka 5 Mizuki Fukumura 6 Erina Ikuta 7 Kanon Suzuki 8 Risa Niigaki 9 Aika Mitsui |
That has to be it. I wonder what the sales are going to be like once Ai leaves since she's been there for so long.
I don't mind auditions just as long as we get some girls with personality then it's fine. |
Momusus link isn't working blah haha
But I really do wonder what'll happen once ai and reina leave... |
Back when Eri graduated, their next single (45th single) dropped around 10k, I don't remember how popular Eri back then. Then, Takahashi will leave the group later, I think the sales will dropped so hard.
We know Gaki will become the next leader but wow, she's not that popular compared to 9th generation recently. Quote:
Btw, the official statement: Quote:
|
Ohhh does that mean more happy uptempo songs?! haha.
I'd like another go girl ~koi no victory~ xD Though I don't think anything could ever touch that songs awesomeness... :P But it's interesting about the sales drop after Eri left >_< |
I think the sales drop has nothing to do with Eri, Majidesuka was such a weird song, I mean the tempo thing, they are trying to do ska after all, but wotas are not used to these kind of songs...
|
Their lowest selling singles as of late have all been positive/happy songs (Mikan, Seishun Collection, Maji desu ka Ska!). I don't think it's a coincidence.
|
^ i just hope they bring someone a little bit older.. but im not complaining with the 9th gen. i love them!
|
Quote:
I personally think their best bet is to just focus on talented girls with big personalities. There's plenty of cute girls in H!P more so than I see in other idol groups and tbph, though I love/like most of them there's only a few I'd call genuine talents. They can certainly use more. Though I love the fresh youthfulness of 9th gen, I'd really like to see some older-upon-entry girls in Momosu like Yuko Nakazawa. The target age limit is 19 though. :/ I really don't think that an H!P kids group should be older than the flagship even by a little. :tired |
I don't understand why Tsunku always pick up 12-13 y.o. girls......
|
I'd assume a huge reason behind that would be because the older generations knew Momusu when they were more "in"--and now that their not "in" anymore, there's no drive to audition.
Younger girls may see it as a big opportunity, but for older girls, it just might not seem worth it. Which means the pool to draw members from would be a lot younger. Although, that's just my own thinking... |
New Berryz pictures for Ai no Dangan!

Spoiler:
|
^ Finally Captain is looking like a girl!
http://i488.photobucket.com/albums/r...oso/s_051l.jpg Limited A - this one is surprisingly good! Limited B - this one is the worst, why everyone is so small -.- it's ridiculous, they are not AKB48 Limited C - I love Riho but she does look awkward in this (plus I don't think she is pretty enough to be that big and she lacks of facial expressions, but I'm glad it's not Ai/Reina this time!) Regular - WTF?! Why Aika is not in the corner, that doesn't look good! the shortest member shouldn't be on the corner!! |
Most of them are jacked up. Like Riho's too big in C otherwise it'd be good. And all of the members of the top row in B are too small. I guess regular's okay, but Kanon & Ikuta are becoming the new JunLin very fast. :x
|
Bigger covers are here.
Spoiler:
|
riho is WIN!!!
|
Nothing against Riho, but while I appreciate her talent she somehow lacks in the charisma department. She's pushed too hard and Kanon or Mizuki seem far more appealing to me, though it's not Riho's fault that she's getting on my nerves already.
One the plus side, the overall style of the covers is nice ~ |
Ai, that blonde hair is just :no
|
riho is my 9th gen fave. so im happy that she's getting the same treatment as my reina. hahaha. but yeah, i kinda wish tsunku would go back to where everybody can shine.
|
Quote:
|
^ Yeah, it would work with a longer hair, she looks like some anime character from Final Fantasy or something

Merch Ranking for April!!!
1 Ai Takahashi 2 Riho Sayashi 3 Sayumi Michishige 4 Erina Ikuta 5 Kanon Suzuki 6 Reina Tanaka 7 Mizuki Fukumura 8 Aika Mitsui 9 Risa Niigaki I don't see the need of Reina being a center girl anymore... :innocent |
whats the ranking for? i mean, do japanese vote there?
|
^ It's the ranking of which member sold the most amount of merchandise for April.
|
oh! from the official H!P shops and/or in concerts? wow! riho is so high up!
|
The next leader is the unpopular one? Wow.
|
^ That. Hopefully things go better when she is actually leader.
|
They're figures from just one of the official shops, so they're not totally indicative of popularity. Plus some members usually have stock issues which affect their ranking because the supply doesn't meet the demand.
|
Surprised at how much I like Only You. I guess I should start learning the new girls' names :laugh

Quote:
|
Nothing's going to change when she becomes leader, it never does.
Good that the new members are making a splash, nothing could be better for the group after aika and junlin, that never really made it to any sort of prominence sadly (or at least it seemed to be like that). I can't wait to thear yamete yo shinbad in HQ! Love ths single! |
H!P store ranking for May, 2011

whoa! RIHO!!!! <3
|
She's the queen right now, I'm happy for her because as *Petit* said, it is a long time since a new member had a breakout (I'd say since the 6th gen debut) :yes
|
Riho even defeat Airi and our current leader, wow.
Also, idk why captain is so... 4 Berryz members is in above 20. |
wah! Only You is on H!O already... but i dont have torrent access now! waahh! i want the single now!
|
I uploaded the single in download thread.
|
thank you so much!
Strange kikkawa yuu is so low on the chart? Or maybe she's not promoted through H!P mostly as she's releasing in a different context. |
Thanks mellody! Going to download it tomorrow.
What do you mean in a different context petit? |
Quote:
It would be too sad if she was in that position really... |
^
Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. I'm not really 100% sure how it works with kikkawa though, apparently she appears @ H!P concerst... I have no idea to be honest and I think you'd ahve to be in japan to get the full picture. :) |
She doesn't appear in H!P concerts - she's not even an official member of H!P, just Up Front. She opened for the winter concerts with her various songs but her performances were not put on the DVDs.
|
oh.. so MoBeKiMaSu is still Mobekimasu... i thought they'll be "Mobekimasu yo" soon. hehehe.
|
Weekly numbers for Only you.

|
I can't believe it didn't outsell Maji Desu Ka Ska ._. this is bad
|
I still believe that the triple graduation is one of the reason why their sales dropped around 10k, and guess what at #5.

Buono! is getting their first mini-album on August 10th「Partenza」!!
I'm so glad Buono! is not dead after the anime thing ended, every single release they release makes me hipper happy ^_^ |
does anyone have Berryz' Sakura→Nyuugakushiki & Sakura wa Raku Sa cover art? i remember that these two songs were released during the concert. i remember them being in kimonos.
|
^ But Sakura wa Raku Sa is from Berryz 4th album
|
@jeffycue these are the best I could find:
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/6...0402173330.jpg http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/692...9641zik7zj.jpg |
i TOTALLY LOVE AKB and I wanted to start with H!P where I should start?
|
^Depends on your tastes but it's always good to start with the main groups since there's been so many sub-units. I'd personally recommend:
Morning Musume- Love Machine, Renai Revolution 21, The PEACE!, Sou da! We're ALIVE, Go Girl~Koi no Victory~, Nanchatte Renai, and Resonant Blue Berryz Kobo- Piriri to Youkou!, Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance, Special Generation, Munasawagi Scarlet, Otakebi Boy WAO! S/mileage- Yume Miru 15sai, Suki Chan, Uchouten Love Buono!- Bravo Bravo!, MY BOY, Renai Rider, Honto no Jibun, Rotarra Rotarra (you'll have to ask someone else about C-ute and Mano because I don't really listen to them) |
C-ute: Tokkaiko Junjou, Kiss me Aishiteru, Massara Blue Jeans, Edo no Temari Uta II, Meguru Koi no Kisetsu
ETA: I want to rec these too: Berryz: Jiriri Kiteru, MOON POWER, Ryuusei Boy, Otoko no ko Momusu: Onna ni Sachi Are, Ambitious! Yashinteki de ii jan, Shabondama, Iroppoi Jirettai, Only you High King's single is pretty good too :yes |
Mano Erina, starts with her new single My Days for You and 1st album.
EDITED: I think you should try some Buono! songs and newly fresh soloist Kikkawa Yuu debut single. As for Morning Musume, their 10th album (titled 10 MY ME) is a good start, I guess. Also for C-ute, their first and fourth album are perfect for casual listeners. |
Quote:
|
So, Momusu will releasing a new album on October, that's so early I think.
Anyway, I kinda excited for the album. Limited Edition - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=EPCE-5809 Regular Edition - http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=EPCE-5809 Also, I think they give different bonus now, it's said that the first press bonus will be two different photo cards, All members version and Takahashi Ai version. Plus the DVD content has a music video of a solo song of Ai Takahashi "Jishin Motte Yume Motte Tobitatsu kara." As expected, Aichan will got special treatment before departure. |
Surprise, surprise. Yet ANOTHER rushed album release to milk the graduation cow. I suspect no less than two Ai solos will be on it as well.
Pass. Again. |
It's exciting, it's gonna be kyuukie's first album!!
Does somebody knows the exact date of Ai's graduation? |
Not sure about exact date, it's just "Autumn" which could be September, October, or November. Since the album will be released in October, so I guess it's around October or November.
|
lol when Maji desu ka Ska came out I thought that was her last single...
|
I've read that her graduation is September 30th.
|
Yes, her graduation date is September 30th at Budokan. It's the last date of the tour and even the tour has been named after Ai-chan. Personally I think all the attention is deserved since she in many ways has carried the group for 10 years.
|
^ I agree (plus Ai's my favorite member...)
|
Quote:
|
I'll stop supporting MM once Risa and Sayu goes ...Ai will remain the best leader of MoMusu and talented/beautiful in every way! I'm really sad that she is going but graduation is bound to happen and she can't be in the group for forever. She better go solo!!
*still pissed off at tsunku for not letting the pandas to shine more* sigh :no |
Thanks, I just found out that date is true.
Btw, have you seen this performance? I'm totally speechless at this. |
^ EPIC! performance!!!!
|
If only their PVs would be a little more like this....
|
Riho seriosuly needs a dance solo in next single or something
|
Quote:
|
^ Of course at the time that the 5th generation joined, there were still many other famous members in the group. But even still, she was given major parts in all the songs from her second single with the group on and as each member left one by one as far back as from 2002, her role in the group became larger and larger because, lets face it, she was the best singer and dancer of the bunch.
|
i still cant get over the dance sequence for Moonlight night. compared to what they did back in pikapika concert. ZOMG! this is WIN!
|
Epic win, I wanna watch full concert after seeing that video.
Now it's time for Berryz! I think this is a decent PV for H!P standard. |
^ they are slowly turning in to V-U-Den and...wow Risako and Captain is beautiful!!
pv: *pose* Look at us we are all so pretty in our lingerie? song: not bad..or great :no |
Captain is suddenly become ridiculously pretty since Heroine ni Narou ka I guess.
lol at V-U-Den thing but kinda true. I don't like the song... at all. |
does anyone know where i could get Morning Musume Concert Tour 2011 Haru in avi format? all i see are mp4s. it hates me.
|
I still haven't find avi version too, maybe you can convert that .mp4 to avi if you like.
|
huhuhu. i did try converting my other mp4 to avi but it became choppy. i didnt want to download another 1.9GB just to try converting. huhuhu.
|
Morning Musume's new single covers are out:
http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/2883/mmab.jpg CD+DVD A http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/2091/mmbf.jpg CD+DVD B http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/6981/mmco.jpg CD+DVD C http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/6084/mmreg.jpg CD-only http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/4825/mmai.jpg Ai version http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1453/mmsv.jpg Single V |
i really dont understand the cd-only version. lol. tsunku hugged by a bear! nyahahaha.
|
^ LMAO good eye...ahahhahaha Panda...speaking of panda...I really missed Jun/Lin :cry they have no chance to shine..hate you Chooonk and now graduating my beloved Ai chan...Risa better stays but I can see her going
sigh...I'm slowly growing towards Sayu lol |
Tsunku in the covers means, Tsunku for 10th gen!
Limited A & C features insanely beautiful pic of Fukuhime, Eripon, and Zukki. For some reason, I kinda tired seeing Riho. Limited B is kinda random, totally wtf with Risa looks, she looks like a clown. |
I love how Erina looks in all the covers ^_^ she stands out so much in Limited A
I can't believe it's Ai's last single |
^ I was just coming to post that, haha!
I can't believe it's her last single either, and she's leaving with two mediocre songs... =( at least she got a decent solo song. |
i like the first song! especially when it was risa's part. but the pv is kinda weird. sigh... im gonna miss takitty. itll be super weird without her.
|
These PV's look pretty crazy, lol XD
|
^ I'm not crazy about the songs, but the PVs are miles better than they have been since about 2006. They really remind me of the old HP PVs.
|
^ Yeah, me too :)
|

|
^ Also, ºCute and Berryz are releasing a joint single under the name "Berikyuu", it will be the theme song for their upcoming joint concert
I'm so excited over these "joint" releases :luv2 |
