About the piano playing idol thing... There is Ootsuka Ai, who plays piano, but she's also got boatloads more talent than Mano also.

Even if your child dies, you are still a mother.

^ yeah, but they probably would still be boring... She has been talking for years about how she is maturing and all that, and I really think the days of fun Aya have been over for a few years now. I wonder if any of them realizes that, if someone started liking her for upbeat silly pop, that they mi...

If Kago wanted to be sexy, she could do it. She's old enough and attractive. But what is in this book isn't sexy, it's just dirty. Not a fan.

Irori is great, I'm glad to see her being put into a group. Akari is ok, but that's about it... I am entirely unfamiliar with Mizuki. The subtraction of Wada and addition of Irori are good... But enough to balance losing Kanon and Yuuka? Not sure there. Although, at least we have S/mileage with them...

^^ Hmmm....




Creeps me out.

I like the B-side, but I think it would have been better if the refrain were cleaner and less noisy. I love the last lines in the refrain though, the distortion is cool. Dou ni mo kou ni mo yatteranai! It actually reminds me of some old Zone stuff... Bible, Salary Man, that kind of thing.

I think their last few singles, save a few, have been very good - but isn't music different for everyone? Myself, I think they are strong, catchy and a welcome addition to the discography. But, if Eri doesn't like it, that is the beauty of opinion. Lord knows I've hated some of the things that have ...

^ Yeah, probably just Moonlight Densetsu... But if they did a rock cover of something like Tuxedo Mirage or one of the insert songs, it would kick ass. I don't think anything from Eva will be on here since it is a Magical Girl themed collection... But that would be fine by me since there are like 20...

The PV is better than the PV for Omakase Gu-ardian, but the song just sucks.... Can't get into it at all, even though all of them sound pretty good in it. Maybe I will like the Shugo Chara Egg version better (Yuuka + Kanon = <3) but I don't know, because it's not the voices I hate, it's just the son...

Did someone say Shinohara Tomoe?? SIGN ME UP!!!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/danceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' /> This sounds pretty awesome, can't wait to hear what they are covering from Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura, especially. <3

AWKWARD. I feel wrong looking at her in pictures like that.... And I'm a girl, I'm not even getting all lusty. It just feels weird. I guess I am just echoing what's already been said - it's weird because she always acted so young, and it isn't being done in a particularly tasteful way. I think she i...

^ Ai wa Katsu that she did with C-ute was the best thing she's done, IMO.



She is steadily getting better, but I like the stronger, less breathy voice she had on the C-ute and Berryz group songs.



This song, like most of her stuff, bores me, but it is nice to see her improving.

^ Yay, Momo love. I'm partial to high voices, and I think she sounds just lovely, and certainly stands out between Airi and Miyabi as having a different voice. I like the other two a lot, but they aren't as unique. After hearing it a few more times it has really grown on me - I definitely like it be...

Since my list of B-sides I have actually liked is remarkably short, I don't tend to take them into account when deciding which singles are better, I mainly just consider the main song. Actually, with their new B-side collection coming out, perhaps a B-side ranking is in order after this one (Koi ING...

Heh, maybe I was the only one who loved Momo's vocals in this.

Cute PV, though I don't think any of their outfits were very flattering. I stopped dressing like that when I was 4. It's cute, though, with a nice summer feel to it. Totally love Momoko's vocals in this. <3 Of course, Airi and Miyabi sound great too, but Momoko's voice stands out for me because it's...

[quote name='JPope' post='66981' date='Aug 4 2009, 02:21 AM']And she's the anti-Midas, because everything she touches turns to shit. If she graduated tomorrow, I would totally follow MM more closely, because the rest of the group seems pretty cool.[/quote] Agreed x 100 on that one!! I've only seen a...

^ Well, with W and GAM graduated, H!P was severely lacking in the pseudo-lesbian department. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

I wish her luck an all, but a fashion model? I've just always thought she looks like a horse. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ssh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Although the number of girls in C-ute is diminishing, it's not like she was really vital to the group...

My fave is still Reina, although I prefer her when she isn't hamming it up for the camera so much. Which has been less and less lately... But she still has my favorite voice out of all of them! Second favorite would be Ai, I know she can be a bit on the plain side sometimes but she's very amusing in...

LOVE. <3 Kanon + Yuuka + Saki = <3!! But I am totally not feeling Wada in this, she is out of place. Her vocal inability is only highlighted when she is put with 3 much more talented singers. Bleh. But I love the song and I like the PV. Kanon is so gorgeous, with her hair down like that. I almost di...

I love the song, love the outfits, love the different stylings of the girls, they look amazing. ... But the PV is pretty much just your standard dance scenes interspersed with solo shots of the girls. I would have liked a story PV, or at least a more interesting setting. After the creativity shown i...

School Days was too kiddish and not too memorable. Certainly the weakest OP Shugo Chara has ever had, and after Omakase Guardian, it seems even weaker. Bleh... Take it Easy, I like, but it is nothing like MY BOY. As the title would imply, it is more laid back. It's not one of Buono's strongest, but ...

I have some mixed feelings about this release: 1. Diamond - The vocals are good, even from Saki and Maimi, neither of whom I care for usually. However, the song is mediocre and just doesn't fit their image. After the outstanding C/C and Kioku no Meiro, I was hoping for more of a mature sound, maybe ...

The pic is a total change from her more common serious and adult image - I love it! She looks so happy and radiant. I hope things go well for her, I would love to hear more in the future... Though I would not be surprised if she took a few years off to have children first. (hope they inherit her loo...

Might wanna put some warnings for people clicking on these images, some of the links are taking me to adult websites with popups... Not so good if there are other people in the room, especially teenage little sisters. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif' class='bbc...

It's so disappointing when news like this breaks. I just don't like how they try to cover things up. She was one of the only 3 girls in C-ute that I liked and paid any attention to, so I will definitely miss her. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emot...

YES!!!



At least, a real release for her since leaving Hello Project...



I already like a couple of the songs sha has done with AVEX (big fan of Lady Rise, especially), so I'm pretty excited for this one!

I am totally in love with this. I adore the instrumentation. I completely agree with Liana here - violins + rap = awesome. Koharu does sound rather Rika-like... Whether that's good or bad, i don't know, haha. It's better than her Kirarin voice though. I like how the girls all sound singing the uniso...
