True... I didn't really notice in Hitorijime because it doesn't seem to have vocal backings - I could hear whoever did the harmonies for Jiriri Kiteru more than I could hear the Tsubaki members.

Those dresses are really cute.
 
I'm not familiar with their previous lives (have admittedly been skipping them) but their performance of Jiriri Kiteru was weird, like the backing was way too loud or something?

I have nothing to contribute besides the fact that I'm so happy!! Buono! has always had a special existence for me. This seriously made my day - I almost freaked out at work when I saw the news.

Hitorijime somehow made me think of Nogizaka46. I hear platinum-era Momusu as well, but my first thought was that this could have been a Nogizaka song.


I agree with Anderei though, the dance shot was very reminiscent of Shouganai Yume Oibito.

I don't think Dream Road is a song you could easily choreograph for, since I just imagine people jumping around. Though the slow-motion was strange (and yet I expected it).

I actually really like Dream Road, which I wasn't expecting at all.
 
Someone in the comments in the concert recording noted the sax sounds like the sax in a Bakuste song "他の男の子とわざとイチャイチャした" and I went and looked it up, it does sound similar.

Whoa I have been out of the loop for so long, I had no idea they would be coming overseas... man I am tempted to go.

Mste site is showing they'll be performing Utakata.

Ah I'm not part of idol swap, but I didn't know the proxy service would work! They offer it online? (I thought you'd have to go to the store in person)

I think the moving it around with your finger/moving the device around will only work with the app but what Anderei mentioned also works, not sure if that would work on web on your phone though...

Is your app up to date?


On my tablet I can move the camera around with my finger; I haven't tried moving the device around.

[quote="TicTacAnyone"]   TL;DR: If choosing between buying Gradation or Prism, go Gradation.   [/quote]   I have to agree with the tl;dr here, Gradation would be a better purchase. I did enjoy watching the concert, but I felt the setlist was a little disjointed? Especially during the medle...

Thanks for the translations TicTac! I was so not prepared for how emotional I'd get watching this. Rihooooo T.T

I thought it technically started with Help Me, at least, them calling it that... so I am just as confused. I just checked and I'd consider anything from Wakuteka onwards (at the very minimum) as "formation dance".

I remember when s/mileage did, years ago. Ah, the memories...


Anyway congratulations Kobushi Factory!

I woke up to this news, and I'm so sad about it (she's been my favourite for a while now), but at the same time, I would love to see her do things more suited to her singing abilities.

[quote="Anderei"] I think he'll continue with music. He actually wrote kis-my-ft2's upcoming single that releases the same week as Angerme's. [/quote]   Yeah, I know! I was actually really excited when I read that because I happen to like kisumai. I guess maybe he'll start contributing to ...

This was a sad yet not surprising announcement, I wonder what other projects he'll pursue?
 
I've been kind of down about this ever since I read the news. He's contributed so many things I love to H!P.

They're doing Music Station on Friday, but that's after first-week sales come out.

Koharu always struck me as a love her or hate her member. I never saw any in between.
 
I know people used to track shop photo sales and stuff and if I recall correctly Koharu was up there in the MM ranks, like right behind Ai/Reina/Sayu.
 
She also had a decent number of PBs if I recall correctly.

Dawa already has a lot of lines though. I can't see that happening.

I don't know if this was mentioned, but Takui did an album (Renga no Ie) and it has his version of Taiki Bansei and Tsugi no Kado wo Magare on it.

So I just finished watching Again! and while I would not recommend this show to anyone, it was kind of surreal to see Akari (former Momoclo) and Koharu in the same show.
 
I didn't even know Koharu had drama acting roles until she showed up in the opening credits.

Because I don't know any KSS, when I saw this group all I could think was "hm I wonder if Ruru's in it" and that's only because those on this forum familiar with KSS keep talking about her. :hahaha: I don't know how well it's going to go though, they would need to be really amazing to be a...

Question, what is the policy on reposting? Someone seems to have reposted the entirety of Sakura's LoGirl interview on tumblr, they linked b!p though.

I don't think single/event v's count on oricon anymore which is why they kind of faded away in priority for UFA. But I could be wrong.



I do wish they did less versions but the reason they have so many is to sell more copies.

I don't think they've released solo versions in a while, not since they got rid of the Single/Event Vs.
 
Those little preview things look like CMs.
