Both sound nice; he voice has improved a lot recently. Her dancing is really her best talent. And U10 is cute to watch as he runs around to keep up with the signs.

[arcobaleno]

Yeah, Cuca definitely has stepped up on her vocals! Wonder if she's been preparing her vocals for entering the Momusu audition? I think I heard that she was going to audition.

Oh wow. I couldn't click on it cuz I'm at work but I thought the anniversary of that was August. Still so sad. :(

Yeah, she did audition. We haven't heard any further info on that so hopefully that's a good sign. No news is good news.

Cuca's brother is SO cute! He must love his sister to run around and keep up with the signs for her. If that were my little brother and I, I'd be aiming my dance kicks at him and he'd be trying to get into the centre shot with me, or something... it would rapidly devolve into tears and chaos.
 
I hope her parents can come to a contract agreement.

Those who knew Country Musume would have known. Those who didn't would have presumably looked it up to see what I meant by 14 years. You just served it to them on a silver plate.

You're just nurturing a generation of lazy spoiled "if it ain't on yt I ain't downloading" slackers.

Akari and Kana threw the first pitches at the game between the Buffaloes and the Rakuten Eagles. I don't want the Yattaruchan campaign to ever end, they look like they're having so much fun.


 

[cadmonkey]

For anyone as curious as I was, here's a fan video of the first pitch: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeKLoPcr ... oPcr0H8</a>
 
As expected, Akari was spot on, and Kana's wasn't terrible.  All in all, I'd rate them above the two Korean singers' first pitch, but behind the Korean gymnast.  Also, because I'm kind of a numbers person, does anyone know if there's a significance to them wearing #25?

This was what I was thinking when I saw they pitched. Hers was hilarious.
 
Also, does anyone think it's strange that they are doing the pitch for the Buffaloes? Have the Rakuten Eagles really just ditched H!P? 

[Anderei]

Yattaruchan is a song with Osaka dialect that they promoted mainly in Osaka, and the Buffaloes are the Osaka team so it was more fitting to support them this time. Ayumi did some stuff for the Rakuten Eagles not too long ago.

Why was she even growing mold anyway?

[al kusanagi]

She wasn't. It was mint plants that turned to mold but she didn't realize what had happened. It was after she posted pictures that people told her it was mold.

MM FINALLY revealed their new single title on HelloPro Station today. Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke/Ai no Gundan. (わがまま 気のまま 愛のジョーク／愛の軍団). It's a double A-side again.

It will be released 8/28.

They will perform it for the first time at the summer H!P concerts (starts 7/28) and Ayumi said they will be uploading the dance shots, but when that is I don't know.


Mizuki says Wagamama is an amazing song, and the way it portrayed the world pulled her in. She also says that the dance is very intense and that the chorus is split up into a kind of battle, so you should especially pay attention to their faces then.


Riho says Gundan is just like the title with militaristic dance moves (Gundan means army) with salutes. And she also says it is a song that teaches about the importance of love.


Gundan is sounding like it'll be like Kimi Sae.

[yuzuriha]

LOL I just came to post this.

[Shoujo Q]

I think I like the sound of Ai no Gundan. More so if it has the feel of a Gunka style too it. I love military style music. Can't wait! <3 Their first concert is the day I get back from vacation.

[arcobaleno]

Ai no Gundan, that sounds like a strong song! A chorus battle in Wagamama, that'll be cool to see.

Can't wait until they release the previews.

[Anderei]

Wagamama sounds like Brainstorming, where they were also split into groups for the dance and I don't know what military style would be other than the marching in Kimi Sae.
 
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... >S/mileage FC bus tour footage preview.</a> At 1:10 there's a preview of Meimi singing Shabondama and it was awesome.

[aine]

Gimmick title again.

[star]

Ai no Gundan sounds like Kimi Sae part 2.
Not sure what to think of Wagamama Kinomama Ai no Joke. Hopefully its as good as Mizuki describes it.

I love the feature that lets you change the speed of the video. (Is this new?) Its fun to put it on x2 and watch her dance erratically.

[Kalle]

I'm mad that it's not actually titled Ai no Gundam. >:T
 
Also god I am so sick of double A-sides, literally everyone but Juice=Juice has had one at this point and I'm like STOP.

Wait, why? Two PVs, two songs to feature on TV, reduced chance of a crap lead song. The only downside I could think of is a more stretched production budget, but with this many #1s from MM, that's probably not so hard lately. Gotta keep pumping out UFLICKS clips.

[Kalle]

I guess, but at the same time it almost feels like too much of a good thing. Plus there's always the chance that one of the songs will be lame while the other is superior ( like Berryz ) and you have to deal with that too.
 
IDK MAN I'M WEIRD.

[momoirosaya]

Well all of MM's double A side's have been pretty great so far, except for the fail that was Matenrou Show (I love the song, but it was just a glorified B-side with a dance shot).

Yeah that makes the rounds every so often. It's on tumblr too and probably has 100k+ notes at this point.
