Here we have a tiny tiny preview image of the cover of Morning Musume's upcoming single 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai.'
They are all wearing those fugly puffy wedding dresses with red crap that looks like blood on it, that we saw in some concert preview images. The cover is pretty boring... But then again how can they be inventive when they have eight girls to cram on to one cover, right? I just hope they don't wear these ugly dresses in the PV, but they totally will.
There's also a low quality radio rip of the c/w track to the single entitled 'Nakidasu Kamo Shirenai yo.' From what I hear, I think it sounds good?
Release Date: 10 February

--- Man, I was pretty disappointed with all this news!
New opening song for 'ONE PIECE' is being sung by Yaguchi Mari and StrawHat. I'm not a fan of One Piece, but for those whose interested, here's a dl link =)

Release Date: 10 February
--- I'm totally psyched for this release! It's gonna be EPIC! EIGHT NEW SONGS!! (Not including 'Our Songs') Two of which are composed & arranged by AKIRASTAR! (Kataomoi & Buono! Theme) We've already heard 'Buono! Theme' from Rock'n'Buono!2 and it was WAY catchy, so I'm excited for the rest of the songs. I wonder if, like their last album 'Buono2' each girl will have their own song, because that would be cool.
Buono!'s 10th single 'Our Songs' PV Preview from the new ending of anime Shugo Chara Party
Release Date: 3 February
EDIT: In synch short preview
--- Aahh... I always end up saying the same things about Buono! "Buono! Rock!" "OMG! They're SO COOL!" "I LOVE THEIR OUTFITS!" And today is no different! They are TOTALLY ROCKING!
This song sounds great and they all look cool! Miya is flaunting her long hair and the illuminated panels in the background are totally Buono! Actually now that I've watched it another couple times I think it's kind of a mix between 'Take it Easy!' and 'Bravo☆Bravo' which I'm totally cool with. They have some similar dance moves from both those songs and their outfits are similar to their 'Bravo☆Bravo' ones in tone and style, but feel more relaxed like in 'Take it Easy!'
Guardians4's 4th single 'Going On!' PV Preview from the new opening of anime Shugo Chara Party
Release Date: 20 January
--- The synch is a little off here. It's not a bad song, and Nacky & Risako are looking totally cute! But all of the Guardians4 songs are starting to sound the same to me >.> AND... the ugly yellow uniforms...
Here's a concert rip of Berryz' upcoming single 'Osakebi Boy WAO!'
--- Hmm... The intro 'OH WAO WA-OH, OH WAO WA-OH' is a bit weird... This song sounds very angsty and manly! But the line distribution seems normal with Risako, Momo & Miya.
I hope we get to hear a higher quality version of it soon!
O.M.G I'M SO SORRY FOR NOT POSTING IN SO LONG!! I KNOW I SAID I WOULD, BUT I'M A TOTAL LIAR! I KNOW I KNOW, I HAD SO MANY POSTS PLANNED... -___-
SEASONS GREETINGS! MERRY CHRISTMAS! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I can't believe I've missed all of them!! Where have I been? i would like to know too! Guaaahhh... I'm SORRY!! >< I know I didn't want these recap posts to become frequent, but unfortunately, here is volume 3...
--- Morning Musume
A radio rip of Morning Musume's 42nd 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai' single is out!
I'm kinda excited for this single! It sounds good! Very Takahashi Ai and Reina heavy as usual. The violin instrumental kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon, you know whenever Uranus and Neptune appear? LOL
Release Date: 10 February (Single V: 24 February)
Morning Musume are also to release their tenth studio album in the new year. Entitled '10 My Me' the album will include 12 tracks, four of which are likely to be their last four singles – 'Shouganai Yume Oibito,' 'Nanchatte Renai,' 'Kimagure Princess' and 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai.' This means there will also be at least 8 new Momusu songs we can look forward to!
The album will be released with a regular and limited edition. The limited will come with a bonus DVD which will include a LIVE version of 'Onna ga Medatte Naze Ikenai' and also solo versions for each member.
Release Date: 17 March
Gaki-san also CUT HER HAIR!
She looks chubbier now...
--- Berryz Koubou
FINALLY BERRYZ NEWS! Berryz news has been quite scarce this past year, probably because of all their double A-side singles and their stage production.
And now to add to their repertoire, a THIRD double A-side single! 'Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda! / Otakebi Boy WAO!' is the title of their 22nd single, which roughly translates to 'A friend is a friend / War Cry Boy WAO!' Just as with their previous song 'Ryuusei Boy,' their new song 'Otakebi Boy WAO!' will be used as the next ending song for anime Inazuma Eleven.
Four versions of the single will be released – Regular edition and Limited A, B, and C. A Single V for 'Otakebi Boy WAO!' has also announced.
Release Date: 3 March (Single V: 10 March)
--- ºC-ute
The PV for ºC-ute's upcoming single 'SHOCK' has been out for quite some time now and caused a bit of a stir because it's pretty much an Airi solo song.
I do like the song since it's catchy and has that James Bond/Arabian feel, but I kinda feel sorry for the other members, none of whom get a single solo line except for saying the word 'shock' once. It's a bit of pity. Ume-san just graduated, you'd think now they'd each have more of a chance to be in the spotlight, but no... Just as the song title explains 'SHOCK' ºC-ute is now Suzuki Airi feat. ºC-ute.
Live performance on Music Fighter
It was funny in this clip that Airi even got to speak for the group. Isn't that usually the leader's job? Poor Maimi!
Release date: 6 January
--- S/mileage
A PV preview for S/mileage's third and final indies single is out!
Cute!
Single V: 2 January (That's today!)
--- Guardians4
The official Guardians4 profile on the Hello!Project website has been updated with the girls in their new fugly yellow outfits.
Damn that colour looks bad!
The covers for their new single 'Going On!' have also been released. Regular Version
Limited Edition
However much I dislike the colour of their new outfits, I must admit I do like these covers. They're vibrant and fun and Kumai-chan looks like a giant!
Release Date: 20 January
--- Photobooks
Kamei Eri
Kamei-san will be releasing her 8th photobook this year and along with it, a third solo DVD. The location of her new photobook has been revealed to be Hawaii.
