Berryz Koubou - Cha Cha SING!

[momoirosaya]

Berryz Koubou 29th single "Cha Cha SING" will be out 7/25



This song is actually a cover of this Thai song. This is like another Genghis Khan.

We should be getting radio rips soon since this single is due one month from now.



But here are really LQ outfit previews.

[aisasami]

As I said in the chat, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I love Thai Pop! Aaaand, the costumes doesn't look that bad. But, need a better quality picture to better judge. I hope that Tsunku does another mashup single like he did with Genghis Khan because that was epic.



Can we get this as the b-side too! Pwwwwease! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

[Shoujo Q]

This is going to be a song that's going to get stuck in my head, I just know it!



I guess it's also safe to say Risako, Miyabi and Momoko are the front girls for this single.

[Anderei]

They updated profile pictures on the Pocket Morning app, and someone was nice enough to provide pictures:







Saki

Momoko

Chinami

Maasa

Miyabi

Yurina

Risako

[tsukinobyouin]

I guess we're stuck with that stupid hairstyle of Momoko's forever now, regardless of how ill suited it is to the costumes. At least there's still hope with Buono.



I miss Risako's purple hair already, even though it does look a little fried. She looks amazing, her makeup is really flattering. I wish they'd used that lipstick on everyone.

[roddyreta]

I have high hopes for this one. It's a really fun, catchy song, the kind that Berryz is known for. Costumes actually look decent as well.



Hopefully UFA will do some major promotion for this single, like they did with C-ute's "Kimi wa Jitensha." If they do, maybe Berryz will see a major surge in sales.

[Arichii]

I'm looking forward to this :D. The costumes are cute and the song seems like it would be a lot of fun. The only thing I'm not liking is Risako's hair. It makes her look old <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />

[Anderei]

She's already dyed it again. It's blonde now.

[Enmiz]

Damn but that's catchy. The first few seconds I wasn't going to like it, but I couldn't help groovin' to it a little bit by the end. But I wanted to be grouchy and not like it! Even if it is a cover... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />



Oh well! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />



I bet the dance will be cute.

[momoirosaya]

Outfits are up on the official site

You can see the full thing.



I think they look nice.

[Farrah]

I am in literal love with these costumes, but I'm super pissed that Maasa and Risako's skirts were made poofier and longer than the others. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU FLATTER A FIGURE, UFA. Jesus Christ.

[roddyreta]

Apparently the B-side will be a Momoko solo -- "Momochi! Yurushite Nyan ♡ Taiso"



I guess this is the song she's been performing at concerts?

[Haru]

A wonderful single ruined.

[momoirosaya]

Everytime I see Momoko and Chinami together, she gives a painful/annoyed face when Momo starts doing her Momochi stuff. I wonder how she reacted to this news.

Considering the last c/w was Chinami heavy with a Momoko in sight, probably no fucks were given that day.

[Anderei]

A preview of Momoko singing it at a concert. I'm assuming this is it.



Just watch Yaguchi's face.

[momoirosaya]

It is. I tell you now 100% that this song won't be making to my iPod's playlist.



I also hate exercise "taisou" songs in general. Like Mana Ogawa's Meccha Mote one...even though I like her...

[roddyreta]

Momochi's a popular talento in Japan right now, so it makes sense to use her as leverage to boost Berryz.



Hopefully this gimmick will get Berryz to perform on some real TV programs.



Probably too much to expect them to perform on a show like Heyx3, but those Downtown guys seem to like Momoko lots. Or at least they like making fun of her.



Either way, I get the feeling UFA is planning to promote this single heavily.

[Haru]

Well, Yurina, Saki and Risako will be in Bangkok in a couple months. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

She's not exactly popular in a positive way, though. I don't think anyone would go buy a single because that annoying girl they saw on tv is singing the b-side.

If anything, they wouldn't want to buy it! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[Haru]

Radio preview is out. Flawless as usual. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />



Actually upon a second listening there is a big flaw. Momo has the most lines. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/hmph.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hmph:' />

[roddyreta]

Love it!



Lots of Momoko, but I can't blame UFA for trying to cash in on her fame.



Hopefully, UFA has some money left over to promote this single.

[Mukuro]

I love this too! It sounds kind of like Bollywood music to me, which is catchy. I was scared only the main 3 were going to get solo lines but I'm glad I was wrong.

[Mugi]

That was awesome now I want to see the video be awesome.

[tsukinobyouin]

Awesome. I can hear the Bollywood thing, it's lots of fun.



I don't mind Momo getting a lot of lines (although I didn't notice her getting any more than the other front girls). She may have adapted a super irritating personality, but luckily she hasn't altered her singing voice to fit it. She still does a good job of alternating between her high voice and her deep voice to fit the song.

Covers



LE A





LE B





LE C





Regular

[Farrah]

I really wonder if they plan on trying to reach out to Thailand a bit. The went all out Thai on this single, haha.

[Mukuro]

I like Limited B and C, the covers don't seem really over the top which is nice, they're very simple. Ugh Risako's hair colour just seems so dull, it might just be me though. I'm glad it's different now.

[freezingkiss]

Covers are plain, boring and crappily put together. I really shouldn't expect anything more but these are really bad. WHY is Risako so far forward in the LE A? I get she's the front girl but it just looks stupid, also, there's limbs and colours everywhere!



Never, EVER thought i'd say this but she does look kinda chunky in the regular version. The font also looks silly. :/



The girls are all gorgeous but jesus christ put them in more flattering outfits.
