Well now we know why all of the Country Girls songs were put on this instead of being their own album.

I am WRECKED. CG made me get into idols in the first place. Uta was bae then she vanished. Risa is my now favorite idol in H!P and she's gone now too! I just don't get it. If Risa and Mai want to graduate, let them do it. But what's the point of a part time idol group? No one will care if they're ac...

I totally expected Iku ZYX!, Gag 100, Moshimo, and PBJ Love to be on disc 1. I'm surprised by how many songs ended up on both disc 1 and 3 though.   But that disc 2... I'm excited, but it's every song CG has been performing in concerts AND THEN SOME. That with their A-sides COULD HAVE BEEN AN ALBUM....

[quote="Solarblade"]
Small update, according to cdjapan, Disc 1 is self-covers of choice of songs that Momoko was part in (Berryz, CG, Buono!, and shuffle units)
[/quote]
I pretty much expected that, but it would have been cool to see what other H!P songs Momochi likes enough to sing.

Now that I've seen the full PV, I'm not crazy about it. It's just okay.


Yami ni Nukegake would have made a MUCH better A-side. >_> It has a more intense Kobushi-like sound and is still Ninja-af.

That's fair. Tsubaki is kind of getting a C-ute treatment too, what with having an indies period and not having a major debut til a while after the first group.   Could that mean that Tsubaki will end up being more commercially successful than Kobushi? I can't even imagine, honestly. Their first sin...

The Berryz-successor group starts with a C-ute song? :huh: If they really had to cover any song, I just assumed something BK would make sense like KF's early tours.   I mean, I know they don't have a lot of songs, but surely enough to do a 30 minute mini live.   Anyway, they did decently. I just don...

I think it's all in good fun. Shalala is nice. I don't remember Ninja, I'll need to watch the preview again. :tongue: But I remember enjoying it the first time.   But the track I'm actually most excited for was Yami ni Nukegake. I LOVED it when they sang it at Hina Fes.   On a side note, I'm surpris...

Yup! So here's a question. We know that Berryz Koubou was originally intended to have the H!P Kids shuffled around to give them experience, but the idea was abandon and the other half became C-ute. But.. What if the original intention was to put them into 2 separate groups? How would the lineups hav...

They would have made it til like, 2008. Or the Elder Club mass grad. Aibon and Nono would have made a huge splash in variety TV together....   ...before Aibon mysteriously dies of an overdose. Because she was never caught doing her bad behavior, there was never any reason to attempt to stop and she ...

So it's out.   I'm WAAAAYYY into this album. Way more than I thought I'd be. I mean, Tell me why, Summer Wonderland and Warning ~Mirai Keihou~ were always bombdotcom, but the rest of it keeps up well. Not as good as the tracks mentioned, but good.   For newer tracks, I really enjoyed LOVE CANDY and ...

[quote="JPope"] Sounds like it was produced with stock sounds in a cheap MIDI program. Now, that can work with certain styles, but swing is not one of them. It's really bad. [/quote]   Agreed. I also really hate that they had the two of them record the song together. If they had done it se...

[quote="Mizura"] The PV was cute. Still don't like the song though. [/quote]   Same. It just doesn't really have anything to make me WANT to listen to it.   On a side note, no one is talking about the Juice=Juice track. This is one of my favorite of their unreleased tracks and I'm VERY hap...

^ This. I've bought FC DVDs from Alita and also through secondhand sites like Yahoo! Auctions, but you generally won't see a lower price on these products because they're made-to-order and therefore VERY limited production.   You might find some lower priced stuff for less popular members, but for t...

Aaaand now there's a Miss Henkan PV (of sorts.)

J-Pop Summit announced their first guest (BAND-MAID, btw) so hopefully IF J=J is performing there, we'll know sooner rather than later so that anyone who plans to attend (like myself) will have more time to prepare.

Does anyone know the radio show (presumably where it came from) from which the original 5-member version of Itooshikutte Gomen ne was played?
 
I'd like to have it so I'm trying to obtain the absolute highest quality version of it that I can find.

I'm not sure I agree with best voice, but she's definitely one of the most versatile. She can sing anything with ease.


Will there only be one version of this album? Seems unlikely from H!P, but there's only one product listing on cdjapan.

Listened through the test, and wow, I'm surprised. It was altogether much more pleasant to the ear than I expected. My thoughts on some of the worst/best:   The Good:   Yuhane Yamazaki- Magic of Love | That was actually kind of amazing. Like Sayubee but without all that extra-ness. Definitely going ...

I read somewhere that Kurumi and Momohime are being put in to a Engeki Joshibu KSS acting troupe, but everywhere else so far makes it seem as if their new position is TBD. Does anyone know?   I wouldn't be suprised at all if this was truly the case; Kurumi (and recently, somewhat Momohime) are consi...

So I'm seeing the full concerts now, and can we just talk about that dance club intro performance in Kaleidoscope?
 
"I'm a BITCH". Dem lyrics. Much depth. I died.

That's disappointing. I actually really enjoy I Musou Strong. Guess now we have to wait for a 2022 ANGERME album.

My understanding is that disc one is solo covers chosen by Momo and/or staff while disc 3 is going to be ORIGINAL versions of songs as voted by fans, so I don't feel like there's that much of a time crunch.

On a side note, what songs are people interested in seeing Momo cover? I'd love a solo version of "Futsuu, Idol 10nen Yatterannai Desho!?" or some kind of vintage Buono! song.   Also, did anyone vote for a song to be included?   I chose Gag 100kaibun Aishite Kudasai. It's one of my favorit...

Unreleased Country Girls songs? There are enough of those to have an ENTIRE disc on a best album? Hella confused.
 
Watch, this release is going to simultaneously be Country Girls' debut album. What the hell.

[quote="Anderei"] Nishida was the one everyone was saying could sing. [/quote]   Nishida is my favorite KSS, but I don't really think she sings much better than the average idol.   For anyone interested in hearing her, she sang the last line in the KSS performance featured on HaroSute #213...

Oh wow, it got topped by Bullet Train. I didn't even think they were popular like that.   But uh, Feel! Kanjiru yo is cute for like, an album track or something. But I guess it's just personal taste, I'm sure someone in management loved it so much that it just HAD to be an A-side. LOL   For example,...

So does anyone know what exactly Country Girls was recording in the recent episode?

Finished listening through the CD. It was great! Stand outs were definitely "Saisei ~Watashi wa Koko ni Iru wa~" and "Watashi no Kotae". "Agaru Agaru" and "Kawaii Edit Party" were nice too.   Some of the tracks weren't super memorable, but it was an enjoyable ...
