Mano Erina no longer an i-DULL

Now, I'm not sure if this was an April Fool's joke Hello!Online decided to play, but I'll report it anyway. A radio preveiw for Manoeri's 2nd major single Hajimete no Keiken has been leaked onto the internet and, this thing that Tsunku said just cracked me up.

"My goal for Mano was to create a new type of idol, one that breaks the typical idol mold. Energetic singing. Catchy, upbeat music. Fun lyrics. These were the three demons I wanted to slay when producing Mano so far."

But I've now realized that I may have overestimated the appeal of an idol such as this. My original plan was to produce a new generation of uninteresting idols, or i-DULLS. This was a mistake. That's why I've decided to steer Mano more toward the music you can hear in her new single. It's the kind of song that even a fan of good music can enjoy. Please treat her kindly."

Now, this was posted on H!O on April Fool's Day, the one day when things really shouldn't be taken seriously. And to be honest I don't know it Tsunku really said this or not.

Release date: May 20th
