S/mileage – Onaji Jikyuu de Hataraku Tomodachi no Bijin Mama

[momoirosaya]

Mari has her own variety show "How to Monkey Baby" with Gekidan Hitori, and appears on all sorts of other variety shows. Basically she is a variety idol. She's very active.

Reading her blog it seems like she's doing something on TV just about everyday, there is life after MM if you have the talent or the personality <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />.

I don't know what Mai is doing, but that must be an enormous amount of stuff every day, since Mari is basically doing a show or something nearly every day, judging by her blog entries.

[al kusanagi]

Mai has that quantum television appearing ability that Tamori used to have. She has 4 or 5 regular shows she appears on (including at least one with Mari), and a couple of radio shows, plus at least one random show appearance a week.

S/mileage's C/W is a cover of Pucchimoni's Chokotto Love. From the crappy live preview I hear a lot of horns so it's also a new instrumental.



Now if they released a new cover of a Tanpopo song, I'd be happy. ;D

Bloody wota and their strange perversions.

[momoirosaya]

I never cared much for that song, so I'm disappointed D:



They should've done Tanpopo!!

It sounds like they gave it a sort of ska sound. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ohyeah.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />



So much for the "subunit revival" being a reason to bring back the good old songs,

I bet they're going to pretend that it never happened.

[Shoujo Q]

Radio preview of Chokotto Love (Short Ver.)

[eri]

Does it sound different enough from the original to keep it interesting? This has always been one of my all time favorite songs, so I'm always happy to hear new covers of it.



Speaking of this though, we really should get this song updated on projecthello now that it has gotten two releases.

[Shoujo Q]

They totally changed the instrumental around so it's very S/mileage and not karaoke gone bad. ;D

[momoirosaya]

I like it with the new instrumental!

I was thinking the Vuvuzela has gone to concerts now?

[DarkRidley]

Hmm, it's quite a nice cover. Chokotto Love isn't one of my favourite H!P songs, but I like that they've put their own spin on it. It irks me when people cover songs and don't do anything to them to make the song their own.



I like the A-side a lot too. I used to be incredibly skeptical of S/mileage, but their last few singles have really grabbed me.

[Madara]

I noticed on CDJapan that Erina Mano and S/mileage apparently did a concert together and it's out on DVD. Here's the title they give:



Special Joint 2010 Haru – Kansha Mansai! Erina Mano 2 Shunen Totsunyu & S/mileage Major Debut e Sakura Sake!



Released 6/16/10



Anybody here see it? If so, how is it?



Thanks.

[momoirosaya]

Full PV



It's very cute! I like it~

[Darkolumb]

Call me disappointed. I was expecting something better than the generic H!P formula with added shots of Tsuji being... a sexy mama? I don't even know what's supposed to be going on in the PV. Other than what looks like the girls trying to pretend to run the store and Tsuji bursting in to clean it and try and seduce the windows.



I seriously want to shoot the creative director for their videos in the face sometimes <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rimshot:' /> .

[eri]

So the racist one is the center now?



The video is cute, but I could do without Tsuji having sex with the window. The song isn't very catchy....it just sounds "loud" like a bunch of things are screaming all at once. But it will probably grow on me.

[DarkRidley]

Disappointing video. It was like every other H!P vid coming out these days, except with Tsuji appearing every so often to make odd alien faces, flaunt her enormous hair-beast and...doing whatever the hell she was doing to that window. Kanon and Yuuka looked cute. Kanon and Yuuka always look cute. Didn't like Racist-chan's hair, for some reason. Otherwise, song is still pretty good, IMO, if not quite as strong as some of their previous singles. I prefer H!P songs when they're more disco or electronic than rock, but this holds up pretty well in my book.

[Himemiya]

I haven't been in the circle in a while, but I like S/Mileage's first single, and I really like this song. It's fun to bounce around to! Is all H!P like that these days? I feel so lost XD



Also. Tsuji. Did you need the money that bad, that you had sex on a window? I expected her to sing or be the manager or be a customer or something...

[Shoujo Q]

Get your Kanon fix courtesy of Upfrontchannel. And if you're lucky or obsessed enough to watch this video enough times, Yuuka's mole will be featured in the second solo PV version.

[Shoujo Q]

Yuuka got her moment in the solo light, next up is either Saki or Dawa, I can't remember which. So go watch some Yuuka! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

[Haru]

Dawa's next. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

But only 305 views? I'd have expected more.

It only just came out today. And it's been stuck at 305 since I posted it, still is. Must be a glitch or something?

No, it's not a glitch, the view count is only updated like once or twice a day.

[Himemiya]

Most (all?) new youtube video views stop in the 300s for a while. So it might be in the thousands by now XD

[Shoujo Q]

Yuuka's made the cut, so now we have Dawa (Ayaka). Last up will be Saki if Ayaka can make it with her hits.

[freezingkiss]

^ Weird song, weird PV and Nono looks like she is channelling Fran Drescher with that huge hair. But weird is better than mundane.
