[Shoujo Q]

First indie single will be released on 3/31 (confirmed during the hinafest, which I posted in the other thread.)

Looks like they are moving at the same pace as S/mileage. If I recall correctly, their first indie single came out about two months after they were first announced as well.

Fan recording of Watashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne. It starts at 3:22.

Hello there Mr. Sax! (That is a sax I'm hearing, right?)





I made this a new thread now to discuss if you wish.

[Mukuro]

I hope I like it more as a radio rip and not live. There is a lot of saxophone though, haha.

[star]

I'll be really happy if they sound like this forever. Its a good sound. Maybe I'll actually pay attention to this group.

[Pucchi-Mo]

So, they took the electronic sound that H!P has done lately, but stuck a random sax loop into it for a twist. It sounds like an old C-ute song, kind of the same feel as Soku Dakishimete. I like the energy of the song, but live performance audio sometimes makes songs sound faster than the CD version.



Overall, they sound ok live. This is a nice start. I think this could be a group that I would follow closely.

[Madara]

I'm confused. (So what else is new?) If this is a new group, where'd they come from? And what's their name? I can't tell from the header.

[NekoKaiSai]

They're (now former) eggs and the group name is Juice=Juice.

[Anderei]

They're still considered trainees. Probably until they make a major debut.

Madara. Go here.

[yuzuriha]

I like it. They sang pretty well live and I loved the song. It reminded me of a mix of Sailor Moon and Cutie Honey or something.

[roddyreta]

I like the song a lot.



Already this is my second favorite H!P unit behind Momusu.

[momoirosaya]

It sounds unique. I like it :)

[Banana]

I like it, too. And the vocals were pretty darn good, considering their level of experience and that it was their first time performing the song. Karin did really well. I was also impressed with Tomoko. I don't want to get my hopes up too soon, but I think she's going to be really good. Akari was definitely the weakest, but she was obviously added for her looks, so that's okay. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

[Ragen]

The plus and equal sign of this thread makes me laugh. That is a funny equation.



I expect them to release lots of single within the year. Didn't expect them to go this fast. Love the sax a lot. They should use more of this instrument in their single.



Waiting for a better quality. Right now, I'm just happy it's not a ballad.

[Anderei]

I don't like it as much as I thought I would after reading you guys' comments. I feel a bit lead on, tbh.

[BonkyuAsh]

The vocals I'm impressed with, I'm glad they're not super cutesy, the song sounds like something from cute, it's good though.

[al kusanagi]

This is by far the best thing to come out of this group!

Listen to this song and watch this gif



TRUST ME

[NekoKaiSai]

Dugtrios now freak me out, thank you...

[Enmiz]

I like it so far. I definitely need a video to learn which voices go with which girl. I bet it'll be out soon since the single is coming out at the end of the month.

Those are two pretty vastly different things to be comparing things to XD



Haven't listened to the new song yet, but it can't be worse than Barnstorming. Right? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />



Nevermind, I listened to it. It is really generic and boring, but nowhere near as bad as that. Sounds like a more generic Massara Blue Jeans or something with sax overload, and Massara was always my least favorite C-ute song from the early era, but at least it was pretty memorable :P

[Anderei]

Single outfits:







They're up on the H!P site now. It's bothering me that they're not listed in order by age.

[momoirosaya]

Akari reminds me of Kaorin! They all look so cute :D

Yeah, but like the sax parts reminded me of some of the really intense background music from like Super, and the song as a whole gave me a Cutie Honey vibe.

So, left to right, (top picture, if the bottom is actually working for anyone else)



Tomoko-Yuka-Sayuki-Karin-Aina-Akari



Is that right?





I'm not sure I like these. They don't look like they're fun to dance in.

[Anderei]

You got it.



I'm not a fan of them either, but other pics I've seen make it look like the dance isn't very involved so that might not actually be a problem.

[Ragen]

That's a tight skirt on Akari. How is she supposed to dance with her legs so close together.



And something about Karin's legs (or hip) looked really weird.

Haha, yeah I think she's just turned weird, but it looks like her hip is realllllly low.
