[Prinny Squad]

UPDATE: Minisite from UFA

Live Performance on Quiz Hexagon II



Now that I'm done yelling FUCK YESSSS and we have some concrete information, I am insanely excited about this single. Hopefully it follows trend of the other Quiz Hexagon singles and makes it into the top 10, or at maybe even the top 5!

[Cyrene]

OMGGGGG!!! I'm so happy, this makes me all excited for a single all over again! I wonder what kind of song it's going to be.

[neshcom]

YESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESSSSS



Is it going to be a collab with "Air Band" from the screen?

It is! Airband is already a member of the Hexagon family, so it's gonna be a collab.

[peachgirldb]

Oh man, Mari, she really faded from my mind some these past few years, but hearing this really brings me back to how upset I was when she left MM. I'm glad for her. Can't wait to hear it. <3

[Solitudity]

Mari has one of my favorite voices in H!P ever. She's such a personality too! I'm so excited.

[jas]

Yaywoo! 2009 is already x10 better than 2008 for (ex&)H!P releases.

No shit.



About fucking time.





As for Airband, well, that's a good lookin' bunch of fellas right there. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />

[Vikitty]

I don't care? lol.

[AEUGNewtype]

I was going to say "am I the only one who doesn't care about this?" but then I saw Valerie's post right at the end. First of all, I haven't really cared for her for quite some time, probably since she left MM, if I really think about it. Second, its a Hexagon single, which tend to have some of the worst production ever; just look at the 2 that Satoda Mai has released. The vocals are all off, the arrangements are very sparse, and even at that, they aren't mixed very well and many corners are cut as far as using real instruments and stuff. They also didn't get real PVs, the PVs for both of them were basically a joke filmed on the set of Hexagon.



So I'm not very excited, but I'm not going to say I won't listen to it.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll be able to sleep soundly tonight knowing that Valerie doesn't care about this. lol.



Also, AEUG, she's been in 4 Hexagon singles, IIRC. Koi no Hexagon, Hi wa Mata Noboru, Mousugu Christmas, and Bye Bye.



I'm not sure how I feel about this either, though. Hexagon singles tend to be on and off for me, even though I love Mari. But I love Mai the same way, and the Hexagon stuff doesn't do much for me. That, and I have a feeling that Air Band is going to ruin it somehow.

Were Hi wa Mata Noboru and Mousugu Christmas released as singles? I've heard them both, but I thought they were both B-sides to the 2 singles. I'm too lazy to research at this point, too, since the PPN Wiki is dead :\

Hi wa Mata Noboru was Aladdin's huge single that sold around 300k copies, and Mou Sugu Christmas severely underperformed that by selling around 20k. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lesson.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

There were only 30,000 copies made for the Mou Sugu Christmas single and they were sold out pretty fast. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lesson.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lesson:' />



I haven't liked most of the Hexagon songs. So I'm not really looking forward to this. I kinda like the 'Bye Bye' - Satoda Mai solo version though.

[Pi Mako]

I'm excited that she's finally releasing a single. I love her voice.. it's so pretty. But it's too bad that apparently these Hexagon songs aren't very good. =\

That would explain it! I thought it was odd that it only sold 30k overall looking at the updated data considering how on fire her career is lately.

Part of it was also that if it didn't sell out, the Hexagon family would stop making music.

Ah. The Aladdin song was really bad, and production quality followed suit, as well, but Mousugu Christmas is probably the best of all of her songs with Hexagon so far. The production isn't great, but the song is pretty good. Pabo was really catchy but had a really gimmicky feel to it, even though its about on the same level as Mousugu as far as songwriting quality and arrangement.

I wanna say I'm 85% sure about this.

[sadude]

Interesting. Mari used to be my favorite member until she left, and then I stopped following her career since she didn't sing and her stuff outside of H!P wasn't as accessible or interesting to me. I'm not excited about this new thing with Hexagon, just... cautious. I'll check it out, and hopefully it'll be good. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sideways:' />

[~Dan~]

She was one of my favorite members before she left too, still is I guess, but the only one of her shows I follow is Yaguchi Hitori.  All the variety & quiz shows she's been in don't really interest me (although I watched a bunch of them after she left MM because I was suffering from Mari-loss).  I'm pleased she's got a single coming out.

[neshcom]

[quote name='Tokyograph']Talento and ex-Morning Musume member Mari Yaguchi is returning to singing with her first solo single next month. It will be a joint release with AIR BAND, a new 6-man band born from the Fuji TV show "Quiz! Hexagon II."



The release, set to go on sale March 25, is titled "Seishun Boku / Seishun Ore." Yaguchi sings the first of the two songs, while AIR BAND does the second.[/quote]

So it looks like this isn't Sadota Mai part 2.

[Red Raccoon]

Okay, I have to ask.....



What the hell is with the hair on those guys in the background?

Thank god those guys aren't on the front cover.

Am I the only one that thinks she looks really sad in that picture? That's weird to not see her being hyper lol.

[perfectblue]

She does look kinda sad, mourning her lost career maybe?

[EmEl]

Uh, I'm not so sure her career is lost. She doesn't really have anything to mourn. I mean, maybe her singing career is lost, but she's been doing well in her prolific television career.
