Berryz Koubou's 20th single, Sishun Bus Guide, is being released June 3rd. With a little less than 2 months to the release, the song preview has already been released. Well only a 1:30 preview.
When I heard the title of the song was Seishun Bus Guide, I automatically thought of Mini Moni Bus Guide. So I was expecting a really upbeat and energetic song. Like Berryz singles used to be like. For me I think the song falls a little flat. They went for another mature song like their last single. But Dakishimete Dakishimete is 50 times better than this song. And the line distribution seems to be back to normal. An overdose of Miyabi, Risako, and Momo. Maybe when the full version and PV are out I'll like it more. But for now the song is a little bland to me.
NEWS's 11th single, Koi no ABO, on April 29th. And the PV has been released already. It hasn't even been a week since the PV preview.
I don't think words can describe how happy I am about NEWS's new song. I already said how much I love this song, but hearing it in high quality makes me love it even more. I think it's really cute how they describe all the personality traits of each blood type. Which makes me really sad that I don't know what my blood type is. I think this is one of the few NEWS songs were Shige's voice actually sounds good. He's not pushing his voice like he usually does. And I still have to say Keii-chan sounds the best.
When I fist saw the PV preview I thought they were in a host club, but they're not. If you look closely you can see guys in the club, so it's just a regular night club. Just a regular night club with the ratio of girls to guys being 3 to 1. So there's a lot of scenes where the members are awkwardly dancing by a group of girls, hitting on girls, or just surrounded by girls in general. But besides all the girl scenes the video is supposed to funny and cute, which it is. But Shige goes way over the top with all his weird faces. Which there's really no excuse for. Everyone one was shooting the same video and yet only Shige made really stupid faces. Everyone else managed to still look cute or sexy. I think the best part of the video is at the end when everyone joins in the dance. And out of nowhere there's a guy dancing in a leopard print suit. Which is almost as funny as Yamapi's wannabe afro. The worst part of the video is the morphing scenes. They give you a mini headache. But if you're like me and watch the video like 5 or 6 times in a row they give you a migraine.

Morning Musume member Kamei Eri will take on her first voice acting role as a character from the new TV Tokyo anime Jewelpet. Eri will play the main character in the anime. Jewelpet will take over the time slot of fellow Momusu member Tanaka Reina's anime Onegai My Melody Kirara. For more info on the anime itself, check out Anime News Network.
This is great news for Eri fans or fans of sanrio, but this new doesn't really even phase me. I'm probably not even going to watch this show. Mostly because I can't speak Japanese. I also kind of wish Koharu got to voice this anime instead. Since Kirain Revolution ended I really want to see Koharu voice another anime. Eri also sounds a little unnatural with her voice acting, but I'm sure over time she'll get better.
Here's a preview clip of the anime Jewelpet. Even though Jewelpet already aired I can't find the actual episode.
Tsunku announced on his blog yesterday that there will be a new Egg unit debuting this fall. It was also announced at H!P Eggs Shinjin Kouen concert. The member will include Ayaka Wada, Yuuka Maeda, Kanon Fukuda and Saki Ogawa.
Now at first glance you could think this new H!P unit is Shugo Chara Egg. I know that's what I immediately though. However Shugo Chara Egg member Akari Saho is missing. She was replaced my H!P Egg Saki Ogawa. Which isn't really fair to Akari if you ask me. Since I don't follow the Eggs at all I know nothing about Saki Ogawa. So I'm really looking forward to how she sounds.
Probably the best part of this unit is Kanon and Yuuka are in it. I have really grown to love Yuuka and Kanon because of Shugo Chara Egg and High King. I'm really glad that they aren't going back to being just Eggs. And a major debut might mean they will graduate from being Eggs all together. Which is exciting news.
So with a new Egg unit forming I guess that probably means Shugo Chara is over. Which isn't really the best news. This new group better be incredible to make up for that.
Shugo Chara's theme changing also brings us a preview of Buono's 7th single, My Boy.
I absolutely love this song! The music is just awesome. It's got the rocker music we're used to hearing in Buono songs. But this time it's a little heavier than usual, and I love it for that. The chorus is really catchy and addictive. I end up liking this song 50 times more than the Guardians4 songs. Maybe it's Buono bias or just the fact that this song rocks. This is one of their best songs to date. Easily better than Rotta Rotta.
New H!P unit Guradians4's debut single, Omakase! Guardian, is being released on May 27th. A preview of the song is available courtesy of Shugo Chara's opening.
I'm really happy too see the line distribution is identical to Shugo Chara Eggs'. And as expected Yurina sounds amazing! And Saki doesn't completely annoy me in this song like I thought she would. All and all the think the song sounds ok. It's not horrible but it didn't blow me away either. For now it's just resting on good. Maybe the song will grow on me but for now it's just ok to me. Everyone sounds great in it though. Especially Yurina and Risako. I can't wait for the PV now. Maybe it will make me like the song a little more.
NEWS's new song Koi no ABO is being released within the month, so of course we have the full song preview.
I am really surprised by how much I love the song. When I first heard it in the RUSS-K commercial it didn't really blow me away. I was also a little turned off by the dramatic change from their previous singles. But after hearing the full song I'm blown away! The music is just so danceable and catchy. I think it's a pretty funny coincidence that JE is having a dance type song right after H!P just had Bye Bye Bye and Dakishimete Dakishimete. I think the Koi no ABO chant in the beginning and end of the song is really out of place. But that's the only complaint I have about the song. I think Keii completely rocked this song! He just fit so perfectly with this song. I mean he sounds better than Yamapi in it! And that's a hard thing to accomplish. This song has such heavy background music that you really need a deeper voice to make it sound really great. Also Tegoshi sounds incredible. He took his high vocal range to his full advantage in this song. And his voice also sounds absolutely sweet. Maybe even heart melting. This song is just so catchy it was definitely worth the 6 month wait.
In even more exciting NEWS news. Not only do we have the song preview we also have the PV preview.
The first thing I notice about the PV is the unfortunate dance moves. It's like disco moves mixed with terrible dancing. I understand that's what they were going for but that doesn't mean it was a good idea. Another thing I notice is most members are sporting different hair. Some good and some hideous. Yamapi, seriously what's up with his hair? It looks exactly like his Happy Birthday hair! He should have changed it by now. Shige, I see he's back to his black hair again. Which is how it should be, his blonde hair was ugly and did nothing for him. Tegoshi, I love how his hair is flipped like that. Sadly it makes him look very pretty and extra womanly. Ryo, finally his hair is back to normal! I couldn't stand that weird flip from the Happy Birthday PV. Even in Musekinin Hero his hair didn't look 100% great, but now it does. Massu, is hair is slowly but surely growing back. And Keii, there's nothing really different about his. I'm really excited that in this video they are dancing in suits because nothing looks hotter on a guy than a suit. This makes me automatically think of the Weeeek PV. But this time they are all wearing matching suits. Another thing about this PV that jumps out to me is Shige, and not in a good way. He keeps making weird faces through out the whole preview. What's up with that?
