So proud of the girls!,YAY!

visionfactory · #**402** 1st November 2010, 09:51 PM

I would have never thought that they could be as successful as the golden era of Morning Musume, I'm so impressed, but I kinda feel bad that my favorite members Oshima Mai and Nakanishi Rina are no longer part of the group and therefore can't enjoy AKB's actual success

though it made me happy to know that Graduated Members were invited to perform in this year concerts.

bondingo · #**403** 1st November 2010, 10:23 PM

Almost makes me feel bad for Momusu, but even LOVE Machine and Koi no Dance Site weren't as good as Beginner if you ask me. Wonder if I'll still feel this way after Beginner wears off on me.

I'm so proud of you girls...WHAT THE!? (below)

They call themselves BRZ48. They are known as BREAKERZ.

^^Yeah, I could never really get into Momosu. I was a fan of some of their members (for the subunits they were in) but the actual group only had a handful of songs I really liked and they are not even their most popular ones lol. I find the H!P Kids, shuffle units, and promo groups to be a lot more interesting.

LOL @ 3 of the Top 5 female being Hikki singles.

This is an amazing feat though, I'm very happy for them. I'm more glad that it was with THIS single that they achieved this success though since I believe it to be their best and it convinced me to give them another shot. Not sure if the next single will be instant love like this one was but I am looking forward to see what they come up with. And for those that don't know: next single is with the Jankenpyon senbatsu, will not include handshake event tickets, have no UG or TG and will have three types: A, K, B which will each feature a different team song. So it should be veeerrrry interesting to see how it does.

AKB48 x Bijo Saishu

Yeah, I've seen the scans and the pictures are gorgeous. I've got the Tomochin one as my BG right now.

Gonna have to put this on my shortlist of PB's to buy.

At second glance, I just noticed they're ACTUALLY cosplaying as the girls and the one in the back is supposed to be Maririn. lol I wonder how Karen reacted to this. XD

Hate to "double post" but...

Preview of the regular senbatsu's B-side on the upcoming single. The title is "Yoyaku shita Christmas" and it'll be the Xmas Jingle for 7/11:

Sounds nice but I'm not the biggest fan of ballads so... hopefully this means that the main song will be upbeat.

Well at least Maimai is trying with going solo. Then Rina after the AV stuff seems to have taken her check and ran out of the spotlight to go do whatever it was she wanted to do with it.

Speaking of graduated members I miss Erepyon. Her contracts ending soon and so her blog will close and she's apparently going to study in the UK.

Awesome.

I don't know about the next single. I'm not going to set my expectations to high.

bondingo · #**408** 2nd November 2010, 05:16 AM

Anyone else wonder if they're going to reissue the Beginner single with the original PV to boost sales even more? If they do I'll be pissed because I already bought it, but at least then we'd have the vid in HQ and not filmed off someone's phone.

Ranma Matsuri · #**409** 2nd November 2010, 06:03 AM

^I'm betting they put it on the next album. The single has already sold so much and the million mark is already in plain sight... they'd want to use the PV to boost the sales of something new.

^^I'm not entirely sure about this single either. Of course, I hope the main song is good but tbh (no disrespect to Jakenpyon senbatsu) I'm just waiting for the team songs before I decide whether to buy or not. lol I think Team K may be my favorite so I'll get their version but I want to hear the songs first and decide from there (because buying all three is out of the question XD).

bondingo · #**410** 2nd November 2010, 06:31 AM

^ That would actually be a really good idea. I'd definitely buy the album if they did that (even though I have 2/3 of the singles since Kamikyokutachi).

But wait. So version A, K, and B are all going to have a different MAIN song or is it the same song just performed by each of the teams?

Ranma Matsuri · #**411** 2nd November 2010, 12:07 PM

The main song will be the same and it'll be performed by the Jakenpyon tournament senbatsu. The 1st B-side, the 7/11 X-mas song posted above will also be on each version. The 2nd B-side on each version will feature a brand new song performed by each of the teams and get their own PV. The Theater version will also have a new song which will probably be performed by TG/UG but it's not confirmed who's singing it. So we're getting a total of 6 new songs with this single.

dreamland2.0 · #**412** 2nd November 2010, 07:25 PM

Can't wait for all of them!!

visionfactory · #**413** 3rd November 2010, 03:51 AM

This week single ranking:
#1 Beginner - 826,989
#20 Heavy Rotation - 5,551

Ranma Matsuri · #**414** 3rd November 2010, 04:08 AM

Song titles (as confirmed from fans who attended the handshaking event):

Quote:

Jakenpyon senbatsu - チャンスの順番。(Chance no Juuban)
Team A- 胡桃とダイアローグ (Kurumi to Dialog or walnut and Dialog)
Team K - Alive
Team B - ラブジャンプ (Love Jump)
Team Kenkyusei(Theater Version) - フルーツスナオ (Fruits Sanao)

Hm, thought the Theater ver. song would be TG/UG... looks like they've been left out of this single. Probably because they'll get featured in the Team songs anyway. None of the titles are surprising honestly:

Team A song sounds like a medium or upbeat ballad

Team B song sounds like it'll be "cute, kawaii desu!!!" track

Team K sounds like it'll be the "cool" dance heavy track

Jankenpyon Senbatsu sounds like the fun, energetic track

It's bascially what I expected. XD

dreamland2.0 · #**415** 3rd November 2010, 04:27 AM

Yah sounds like main song will be happy upbeat song!! Not complaining!!

I'm actually so interested to see these non-regular members!! And the girl who won is so cute!!

Polyrhythm · #**416** 3rd November 2010, 04:59 AM

LOL....honestly....I don't like Uchida Mayumi. She doesn't seem like a great fit for center.....but it'll be different

Ranma Matsuri · #**417** 3rd November 2010, 05:09 AM

LOL typo Team Kenkyusei song is actually called Fruits Snow. So I think it's safe to say it'll be a winter/Christmas ballad. Not that it matters since I won't be getting the Theater ver. no way. XD

Btw, teddbear your comment reminds me...

For anyone interested, this is the Jakenpyon Senbatsu (only posted pictures of the unknowns... which are a LOT):

Spoiler:

EDIT: OK, fixed. XD Lord help me I realized as I was reuploading that I was actually matching names with faces.
