Morning Musume new single, WOOT!

Morning Musume's upcoming single has been announced, and the title is Shouganai Yume Oibito, or People Who Can't Help But Chase Dreams in English. What a pretty title ^^

2) 3、2、1 BREAKIN’UP
3) しょうがない 夢追い人 （Instrumental） (Shouganai Yume Oibito (Instrumental))

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

 

Hello!Project website receives a facelift

The official Hello!Project Japanese website received a makeover to make up for the recent Elder Club graduation (baww). It's actually pretty awesome :P

 

Wait, I thought Nacchi already graduated?

Um.

Abe Natsumi's summer tour has been announced. I dunno. I'm confused.

The title is Abe Natsumi Summer Live Tour 2009 ~Yappari Sneaker ga Suki!~ and will be from June 6th to August 1st.

 

The Hello!Project summer tour. The NEW Hello!Project, that is

The summer 2009 H!P tour has been announced. All of Hello!Project, which is now Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, C-ute, and Mono Erina will be performing along with the usual MC Makoto on July 19th - August 9th.

 

Another year, another concert! I always look forward to these, but this year Mari isn't MCing so... that kinda sucks ;_;

I can't wait to see the tracklist for the Elder Club concert, which I know must have some songs featuring Mari.

As for the big end concert, while I'm excited to see Ice Creamusume's debut, but I know I'll need a box of tissues watching the graduation.

 

1) Resonant Blue (All) - Well this is exciting, I just hope its not Ai and Reina being the only ones singing, expecially since its the opening and all...

2) LALALA Shiawase no Uta (All minus Shugo Chara Egg!) - Ugh >.> I suppose its good for getting the crowd excited but... c'mon.

3) Minna no Tamago (Shugo Chara Egg) -  This song's been sticking to me, so I'm alright with it.

 

4) Hapi☆Hapi Sunday (Kusumi Koharu) - *skips*

5) Tan Tan Taan! (MilkyWay) - The one Kirarin*Revolution song I can listen to without hating it. I'll probably watch for first few seconds and then move on, though...

6) FOREVER LOVE  (C-ute) -  Awesomeness. I just hope that the chorus is alright, because its horribly high pitched and must be hard to sing live.

 

7) Meguru Koi no Kisetsu (C-ute, Tanaka Reina and Mitsui Aika) - Alright... thats... interesting. AikaxReina lead would be cool though.

8) MADAYADE (Berryz Kobo) -  RISAKO. LIPSYNC. PLEASE.

She does so horribly at concerts.

Other than that, woot.

9) Koi no Jubaku (Shimizu Saki, Sudou Maasa, Kumai Yurina, Tokunaga Chinami, Sugaya Risako, Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi) - Whats up with the Momusu H!P Kids shuffle? Not that I have a problem, I love this song. Risako just better not ruin it.

 

Lalala-Sososo

10) Lalala-Sososo  (Mano Erina) -

I've started to like Manoeri's solo work, but its too bad there can't be a dance or a nice costume for this. Not exactly good concert material, Lucky Aura would have been better.

11) Rottara Rottara (Buono!) - If its Buono!, I'll love it.

 

12) Naichau Kamo (Morning Musume) - Epic costumes, first of all. I wonder if they're just substitute concert costumes for until the PV is released, or the real thing? Oh well, I can't wait. KAMO KAMO KAMO.

13) Mikan (Niigaki Risa, Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, Kusumi Koharu, Mitsui Aika, JunJun, LinLin, Yajima Maimi, Sugaya Risako) - So... looking at who's singing I'm getting pretty excited until I come to the end and see... Risako -.-

And I'm gonna say this right now cause I think I know what you're thinking - I do not hate Risako, but lately her lives have been horrible. She's got amazing looks and can hit high notes with ease, but why does she always have to scream and look like she's in pain?

14) Jingisukan (All) Awesome. I'm getting bored with just Berryz singing it, so I'm excited.

15) Shiroi TOKYO (Nigaki Risa, Yajima Maimi, Tokunaga Chinami, Nakajima Saki, Hagiwara Mai, Mano Erina) - Yay :D Mano gets to sing more.

16) Natsu Doki Lip Stick (Yajima Maimi, Kikkawa Yuu, Maeda Yuuka, Fukada Kanon, Sekine Azusa, Ogawa Saki) - This sounds like a Maimi solo with Eggs as back-up. Eh.

But this isn't really a good winter song...

17) Baka ni Shinaide (Shimizu Saki, Natsuyaki Miyabi, Kumai Yurina, Sugaya Risako) - Mmkay. Alot of Berryz in this concert, amirite?

18) Mr.Moonlight ~Ai no Big Band~ (Takahashi Ai, Umeda Erika, Tokunaga Chinami, Nakajima Saki, Okai Chisato, Arihara Kanna, Saho Akari, Sekine Azusa) - AWESOME. But lets hope its not 100% Aichan, I want to hear Chisato too!

19) Soku Dakishimede (C-ute) - This is the best early C-ute song, its always so intense and awesome. And best of all -- it replaced Massara Blue Jeans!! Yes!

 

20) Gyagu 100kai bun Aishite Kudasai (Berryz Kobo) - Yay no Special Generation :DDD And last I remember its mostly Momoko ^^

21) Darling I LOVE YOU (Berryz Kobo, C-ute) - I've heard this song too much. But hey, its newer than Massara Blue Jeans and Special Generation.

22) Take off is now! (Takahashi Ai, Nigaki Risa, Tanaka Reina) - Never heard this but I know its gonna be in the new album (or at least I'm pretty sure ^^;) so YAY!

23) Renai Revolution 21 (Morning Musume) - Better than LOVE Machine.

24) Guru Guru JUMP (All) - Another song from the new album, woot.

25) Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou (All) - Finally more LinLin love. She isn't in a single shuffle this concert. And of course I'm happy JunJun is there too <3 And maybe this time more solos for the others?

26) Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~ (All) - This was the first Momusu song I ever heard, so I love it. I haven't seen it in concerts much so yay x3 I'm guessing groups of singers are distinguished by colors?

 

Annnddd thats enough of my two cents.

Just an update: still looking for more Engrish T-shirts T^T

All pictures are from the Hello!Online picboard.

Oh, and, Yurina's not the only one celebrating her birthday today. Today is my birthday too~ :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sayumi: You're blocking my cute, Riichan. Nyan nyan!

Risako: Whatever, old geezer.

(Guess what. I'm really bad at these)

The covers for the Berryz Kobo & C-ute Nakayoshi Battle Concert Tour 2008 Haru ~Berryz Kamen vs Cutie Ranger~. There will be two releases of this DVD, both containing the entire concert and a second disc only focusing on Berryz or C-ute.

C-ute's DVD will be released July 9 (same day as Berryz Ike Ike Monkey Dance single, how ironic) while Berryz's will be released July 16.
