Risako going solo!

Berryz Koubou member Sugaya Risako will be making her solo debut. She will be releasing a single later this year as Ibu Himuro, her character in the Mecha Mote series. Much like how Kusumi Koharu releases her singles as Kirarin Revolution Staring: Tsukishima Kirari. Or something to that effect.

Now I'm not really the biggest Risako fan in the world, and I also don't hate her. Risako is more floating somewhere in the middle for me. But I am super excited for solo single. Mostly because H!P anime tie in songs are some of the best H!P songs out there currently. Buono, Kirarin Revolution, Athena & Robikerottsu Shugo Chara Eggs/Guardians 4 are just pure win for me. Yeah that's right I love Guardians 4. Gotta love the extra does of Mittsi.

I'm also really interested in what her solo single will sound like. Because if Risako sings at certain frequencies it has the tendency to make your ears hurt slightly. Don't kill me for that comment. XD I also wonder if she will make her voice sounds overly cute like Koharu did for her solo singles. Even Aika makes her voice sound cuter in Going On. But Risako's voice is usually the exact same. But still she might opt for something cuter since it's solo single for anime.

But yeah, I am really happy for Risako. I mean she'll finally be up in the front more. I can barely even find her in Berryz Koubou PVs! Seriously, give less popular girls singles please. I'm expecting this single to be utter win, so don't disappoint. And let's hope she doesn't leave Berryz Koubou immediately after her solo singles end, like Koharu did. XD


Also in honor of her upcoming solo debut here's a small video spam of my favorite Risako performances.
