I listened to a few Erina mic rips, and she has a lot of trouble singing and dancing at the same time. She's out of breath the entire time. On an unrelated note, her concert goods all look really good.





Also a rip of the night concert came out, and the setlist does not change.

I liked the bunny outfits.

There's also an entire fan-recording of the concert up, if anyone wants to listen to it. Just know that there are very excited Reina and Aika fans present. I'm listening to it and it sounds like all of 9th gen are singing live this time around. Sayumi sounds nice during Fantasy. Everyone does, actua...

Interview with Kaori



Interview with Koharu



"Q: Do you want to take the center position in Dream Morning Musume.

Not at all … I’m too busy trying to catch up. I am good friends with Abe-san (Abe Natsumi), so I’ll be happy if I can follow behind her. Kind of like goldfish poo."

Not sure where to post this, but the concert setlist is out: 1. Maji desu ka Ska! 2. Fantasy ga Haijmaru OPENING 3. The Manpower MC 4. Onna Gokoro to Nanto Yara (without 9th gen) 5. Ichi Kara Juu Made Aishite Hoshii (9th gen are included, but without mics) 6. I’m Lucky girl QUIZ 7. Suki na Senpai – ...

Nah, you got her name right. She's 27, and I can't imagine what they're going to do with her.

Jang Dayeon has been made an official Egg.

1. Icchoume Rock! I love this. Especially the guitars. I hope they do this live, because it'll be fun to watch. A perfect intro for the album. 2. Heroine ni Narou ka! This is quite possibly the first Berryz single I've ever really enjoyed. I generally don't like Berryz from a musical standpoint but...

I like the song a lot. The buus are absolutely adorable. Pig-Sakitty is going to be amazing.

Even if the outfits are bad, at least the shoes are cute?

Another picture



They should give Wada some extensions or something.

I was actually kind of disappointed. It's not cute, and a lot of people see this as a step up, but it's also more boring.

Sounds like all of 9th gen sans Riho lipsynched again. Which I still don't understand since she's hardly a strong singer. They've never kept a bad singer from singing live before, why now?

Your link is broken. Take out the slash between the ? and the v.



Also where is this from?

Yaguchi sounds so bad that some people are actually mistaking her voice for Koharu's. She hasn't been singing lately and it shows.

New Buono single June 15th.



New C-ute Single May 25th Momoiro Spark Ring. Or Sparkling. I really don't know.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i335/GIFs7/Suzuki%20Kanon/RyuZukki2.gif It is pretty adorable. Erina's shots would've been really cute too if she was smiling like you said. It was all there, except for the smile. I understand why she doesn't want to smile, but I'd love her all the more if she w...

I wish they'd stuck Koharu on Souda!, because I hate that song. Rika on The Peace! is totally expected, as is Abe on Memory Seishun. Didn't think Kei would end up with Love Machine, though.

Sounds like everyone got a solo line. I definitely heard Yossie, Miki and Rika, and I think Ogawa is right after Koharu.

It's got that old-school Momusu feel to it, which I'm sure is what they were going for. I like it.

Even Mizuki and Riho are far from perfect vocally.

4minute's Heart to Heart

This is nice, albeit completely different than what the teaser made me expect. Also there's no warehouse. It's not a 4minute MV if there isn't a warehouse.



The rest of the album makes me feel trolled, and I'd like my old 4minute back. The one that isn't awful.

Talent-wise I'd say they're about equal, but Maki has always had that natural star vibe about her, whereas Ai is more like girl-next-door, if you were to ask me.

ONRYU Part 1



ONRYU Part 2





All of 9th gen appeared. Along with Ai. Kanon further cements my love for her. Mizuki is growing on me as well.

Does anyone care about members colors? I don't really think anything of it. In case anyone does, there's a picture of Kanon's concert Happi out. Her color is apparently dark green.



The Happi



Haven't found any news on what the other colors are.

I really like D. Even if these are the fairly standard covers with some weirdness thrown in.



I welcome the return of S/mileage. I await the glorious Sakitty. Song sounds nice as well. A little slower, but I like that.

Previews of Ai's Photobook





It's her 12th, but I guess the number comes from it being her 10th year. She doesn't look like herself in that last one.



I wonder if they'll give Risa one for her 10th anniversary.

Maki didn't have the benefit of joining with anyone else, nor the benefit of entering at a later time when everyone had that teamwork mindset. She seemed to be somewhat friendly with Yossie, though. But Yossie was bffs with a ton of people. Anyway, I'll go ahead and post this: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 D...

1. Sayumi - can't sing, but she's thoroughly entertaining which makes up for it 2. Kanon - also entertaining, something this lineup sorely lacks 3. Aika (yes really) - just because. Aika has magically endeared herself to me over the years 4. Mizuki - Seems like a hardworker and genuinely adorable 5....

They changed their mind: After acknowledging the similarities between Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and SNSD’s “Be Happy,” producing team E-TRIBE (the composers behind “Be Happy”) have revealed that they will not be taking legal action.

Not sure how well known they are here but: "U-Kiss has released an official statement revealing their comeback date. Their new album will be unveiled on the 30th, along with the two new members." I'm so excited. Even with the new members. U-Kiss are my fruity, kpop dream boys and I've long...
