Here's another one! I did it a while ago but forgot to put it up here ^^;

This time it's Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou?, the Ice Creamusume version (because I think its prettier :D)

Once again, this one is written in D and without any accidentals (yay!).

Sheet music is from here: http://hponflute.wordpress.com/

The Ices perform for hundreds with megaphones on the streets of Taiwan

Ice Creamusume has had alot of publicity lately, and thanks to that they've from #20 on the charts all the way to #11! Congrats Ices~

With their rising popularity, I've finally decided to sit down and do a track-by-track reveiw. I still stink at these but practice makes perfect xD

I got a paper cut, making it hard to type. Sorry for silly spelling/grammar mistakes D:

Ice Creamusume and their megaphones :D

1) Lian Ai Deng Chang - I have to say, I thought maybe they'd all have cute voices, but they're REALLY SINGING. Its catchy, and its poppy, and ShenShen has a solo line. <3 She's pretty good x3

2) Zao An Ka Fei - Morning Coffee, eh? When they say coffee, it sounds more like cafe. I guess thats just the Chinese pronounciation. The new arrangment is nice, it makes the song more modern and actually alot nicer to listen to. The first person who's singing during the bridge has an... umm... interesting voice. I don't think she could hear herself during the recording session. I'll have to work on matching voices and faces later xD

3) Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou? - The song in the album I've been anticipating the most. The Chinese name for it is Zai Mei You Yu Shui Zi Run De Zing Qui Shang Shi Wu Fa Fu Chu Ai De Ba?  Wait, what? And I thought Ame no Furanai [...] was a long name! Well whatever, I love the song so much! And I kinda had a blonde moment while listening... as soon as the first chorus started I was like "OMGBBQ THATS JUNJUN'S LINE"

^^;

Guess it was kinda common sense to know that the song would 1) Be in Chinese and 2) Have JunLin's solo's in it.

I really like the arrangement, and I love when the drums come in. Drums always make songs better.

Sneak peak of the Lian Ai Ge Ming 21 PV -- it already looks better than their first PV

4) Lian Ai Ge Ming 21 - One thing: why didn't they take out the "Morning Musume" part? Thats all. RR21 is overdone so I was just like "Boring *skip*"

5) Go Girl ~Lian Ai Sheng Li~ - The other song I was anticipating the most, Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~ was the first Morning Musume song I ever heard, so this song has been near and dear to my heart. I love Chinese, its so pretty and I envy people who can speak it xD So yeah, I like this. Alot. There isn't any new arrangement, but thats fine.

6) Debut! ~Koi Suru Kado ni wa Fuku Kitaru~ - OK, so this sounds just like Lian Ai Deng Chang only in Japanese. SO WHY IS THERE A DIFFERENT TITLE? Ugh.

I like the Chinese version better.

The Ices get ready to shoot the Ame no Furanai PV!

7) Zao An Ka Fei (Japense Version) - OK, I like this so much better than the Chinese version. That first solo line... GOOSEBUMPS. The vocals are just so much better in this version, and it just sounds better in Japanese. I don't know why.

With both Lian Ai Ge Ming 21 and Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou? PV's due any day now, its exciting to see how well the album continues to sell, and once they start performing at the H!P concerts, I'll be able to match voices and faces :D

You know what they say: Perfection is acheived not when theres nothing left to be added, but when theres nothing left to take away.

If this is true, UFA is just so perfect and amazing. Because the PV for Ice Creamusume's song Debut! ~Koi Suru Kado ni wa Fuku Kitaru~ is pretty much... nothing. You'd think maybe it would be different than the Chinese version, but its exactly the same.

UFA, you're pissing me off. Ugh. I totally want to go and just curse right now.

I mean seriously, white background? Matching outfits? Sunglasses and bubble blowers as props?

Honestly I'd have to say this PV costs... $100. And I'm serious. Just go and buy some cheap-o props at the Dollar Store, get a nice big white sheet, and make the costumes.

But lets ignore the cheap PV for a second.

The dance. Its simple, but I think its appropiate since they're just now debuting. They don't really move together, and once again, they're just now debuting. They need some time to really get to know eachother. Can't you just sense the akwardness? I mean its not like they're first time meeting eachother, maybe like the 10th time (I'm just guessing -- recording, dance practices, ect)? They probably haven't been together much, therefor they're still a little shy. 

The closeups. It looks like they're all new to idoling. Well, what a surprise. They all overdo it a bit, except maybe Youko. I bet she watched a bunch of close up versions of PV's before filming. ShenShen is cute though, she opens her mouth really big on any word with "o" in it. I think ReiRei looks the most akward, PeiPei running in second.

Finally, the song. I like it, its poppy but its catchy. I would prefer something mature, and besides the youngest member, Guu-chan, 12, danced to My Humps for her final audition. And ShenShen belly dances. So they can pull off the mature look, but with a name like Ice Creamusume, what was I thinking? But really, I like the song. They're voices blend well together, I'm hoping they sound just as good live. ShenShen. You just can't not love her. Her solo at the end is great <3 Obviously her voice needs more training, but I think she can become an Aichan or Reina in the future. She sounds better in the Chinese version.

I'm happy to say that during the auditions while everyone was obsessing over Youko (Lightbulb), I was obsessing over ShenShen, and now it seems ShenShen is everyone's favorite member. x3

As I said before, I still support Ice Creamusume 100%. Its not their fault their PV sucked, right? I'm sure if they were given the opprutunity to make up the PV... well it would be pure fun chaos! I'll be anticipating their improvement and future releases :D Can't wait to hear the Chinese version of Morning Coffee.

Two Ice Creamusume posts in a row? Well thats just epic! x3

Anyway, the radio preveiw for Ice Creamusume's Renai Revolution 21 remake is released! Lian Ai Ge Ming 21! I think its odd for a radio preveiw to be released before the tracklist, but whatever. I like it x3

I've been listening to it all morning via Stardust. I probably have said this before, but Chinese is such a pretty language x3 Unfortunatly the arrangement is pretty much the same, although the "uh baby" and "yeah~" during the bridge sound a bit different.

I think this new group has alot of potential, they're voices blend very well and by watching the auditions they're all good dancers.

I'm excited for February.

New H!P Taiwan-based unit Ice Creamusume will be releasing their debut mini album in February and the title is.....

1st Best!

Yes ladies and gentlemen, they are releasing a best album and they don't have a single song released yet. And I thought only Chuck Norris could acceive a stunt like that.

But seriously, a best album? I'm guessing they're going to do Mandarian versions of popular H!P songs.

I DEMAND AME NO FURANAI HOSHI DE WA AISENAI DAROU? NAO.

My predictions:

- LOVE Machine

- Special Generation

- Massara Blue Jeans

- Yeah! Meccha Holiday

- Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou?

I'm excited. I think this group has alot of potential talent. I cannot wait for their debut and I support them 100%
