^ Same. She's such a cutie, I thought she would debut for sure.

This should have been an A-side, let Furari Ginza be a B-side. What a shame.

I wonder if Tsunku writes songs for specific groups these days, or if the company chooses who they go to. He's pretty consistently written some bops for the other groups lately while MM definitely got the scraps this year.

The last time we had three _____Fes events was 2015, and all three were released separately. Since then, each one has been for 4 events, with only 2 getting full releases while the other 2 had performances included as extras.   However, the setlists are so similar for this that I wouldn't be surpris...

They definitely did some post-production editing to her mic feed, which is pretty common for H!P home releases. With the abundance of concerts getting streamed on tv these days, there are many opportunities hear the difference between the live airing of the concert and the following bluray. I think ...

I actually really like CHICA#TETSU as a name now that it's been explained. Ame no Mori Kawa Umi sounds like a shittty SATOYAMA group name though.

You wrote in the post that this was Tsubaki's first major live. Just FYI, their first was the "Tsubaki Factory One-Man LIVE ~First Blossom~" a few months prior to this tour, which is also on DVD if you want to see it.

I like the covers, but Saori's face, man. Who the fuck even is that?

I'm here for it, only because Risa is THE bae, lol.


Also, Manaka-less CG is just fine with me, haha.

I like the song more than YEAH YEAH YEAH. That's a no-no-no.

It's always the venue on home releases, but I don't think it's fair to say most of their concerts. Guess they'll just have to start filming elsewhere.

The legal limit is .03% which is next to NOTHING. She could have been completely "sober" when it happened. So I guess it just depends on if you want to give her benefit of the doubt, lol.

Well my hopes are shot. I was really hoping we'd get something anthemic in sound. Even with 3 A-sides H!P couldn't get it right. Unrealistic af, but I'd have loved to have "Hello! Massara no Jibun" on here. Or something like it, anyway.

They did the fall 2016 tour together but I don't think there was a video release. The next video release for ANGERME after Summer '16 would have been Countdown but Maho was gone by then.

Their previous single had a music video, so it's not like we're on a PV-less streak or something.

I appreciate that the part-time group has the best cover. It really shows how much charm and personality Country Girls has as a whole.

All I'm sad about is how much pressure this must put on Yuka, being even older than her. Stay forever Yukabae ; A ;

So it's out.


I'm happy, I think the new songs are good and I'm happy to have studio versions of the songs they've been performing for a while.


I just don't like Abaretekka. I never did. It's melodically strange and the instrumental sounds really cheap. X_X

USA is cheese-af. I feel like cringe means a good job, haha.

I find most of Kobushi's songs enjoyable, but this is really the first time I find a song to "special". I really like it!

Maybe I'm just easy to please. I love all of it. LOL The dance, the video, the song. Their styling choices have always been a little odd, but this is what happens when you let talent (Miyabi) dress themselves. I think Miyabi and Yuuka sound great, imo. OTL Yuuka has always been the standout for me i...

Whoa. When did Kiki lop off all her hair? O_O She looks like someone's mom, haha.

Well I'm bitter. LOL
 
I never liked Manaka. Yes, she's kind of cute, but her voice is shrill and shaky (especially live), and her dancing looks frantic next to everyone else. Juice=Juice has gone from yay to FUUUCK in a swift movement. Hopefully aggressive touring takes her out again. 

Juice=Juice had the videos for all the singles released at the time (excluding indies) released on the bluray of First Squeeze! limited-A, along with alternate versions of each one. CHOICE & CHANCE and Tsuzuiteiku STORY were excluded, though.   Country Girls had "Country Girls Music Video C...

So according to the wikia, Shimakura Rika, Kanemitsu Ruru, and Matsubara Yuriya's photosets sold out at the first show. I'm not surprised by Yuriya at all, and Ruru has the benefit of being young, cute and super new. But I'm pretty surprised about Rika. Is she a popular KSS? I think her singing is p...

Risa is in her first HinaFes shuffle and it's a solo? I can die now happily.

I assume her birthday event and the Valentine's Day live are more manageable because they're located in Tokyo. Also, the CG event is on a Sunday.

Get you is a track off of AKB's last album by Sashihara + Momusu. It's also on the BRAND NEW MORNING / Jealousy Jealousy single as a B-side with a more MM-focused line distribution.


Sashihara is a member of HKT48 and a MM superfan.


No clue who the guy is. LOL

Well Shiori and 3 other girls did it in September, so it might just be whoever was able to travel. But I'm okay with this if it were the case, Shiori and Yuhane are my top 2 KSS. :D

When I saw that, my first thought was that we might see Yamakki artbooks in the future (which would be amazing).
