Hello!News Network :: 2023; 25 Years of Noisy Girls!

[Solarblade]

That's a colour shuffle. Also, Soma Yume (Rosy Chronicle) wasn't there for Vega?

Just checked, she was in Mousou Dake Nara Freedom

[DonJuan]

Ah, thanks.

[Shoujo Q]

This isn't really a release from H!P, more a release FOR H!P

It's Hello!Project's First Ever, Tribute Album!



Currently on pre-order, being released via Tower Records. General release will be in November.

Listening to the previews, there were some... choices made. And I'm very happy H!P have the production quality that they do have.

[JPope]

I'm pretty stoked to hear the full versions of these, because a lot of them seem really good from the short snippets we get. The track list is pretty heavy on OG material -- I think Kobushi and OG J=J are the most recent songs -- so it's a bit of a nostalgia rush, too. Am I the only one who feels like a project like this is long overdue?

[Solarblade]

Technically, H!P has two tribute albums before this one (though they were in English and there's a 3rd but it's like a best-of of the two albums).

Also the album is titled "Shooting Star" and it comes out 11/11

[sadude]

Most sound weird, but I think that's mostly familiarity with the original. Some of these could turn out to be good. I always love hearing different interpretations of songs (covers, fanmixes), so looking forward to this as well.

[DonJuan]

It's a bit weird, most of the songs sound like some overprocessed vocals over midi instrumentals lol. But I do like that there's so much love for H!P to re-interpret several songs, and even some newer ones and outside of Golden Era.

[Solarblade]

Can't give its own thread yet, but it was announced at their release event that Momusu are working on a new album set for the fall (and to let Ayumi leave with that)

[DonJuan]

The fall tour will be called "We can dance" so I guess the album will be in that vibe.

[JPope]

I was wondering if MM would get a new album soon, as 2024 is their assigned album year based on the three-year cycle. Their last two albums have been among my favorites, so I'm pretty pumped for this.

[Solarblade]

Risa Irie's hiatus is now stretched to the end of the year - http://www.helloproject.com/news/17884/

I'm getting this feeling she might not be in the group for longer (her medical diagnosis is the same one as Maho Aikawa and Rena Ogawa and both left pretty much within a year)

[DonJuan]

Oh, I missed that one. Man, I hope she can pull through...

[Shoujo Q]

Ocha Norma’s Tashiro Sumire is also out of commission with adjustment disorder. Official Announcement

What is going on in the UF office?

[Zoe]

I don't know if it's necessarily something that's happening at the company versus the company being more sensitive towards the girls' needs.

[DonJuan]

Adjustment disorder was what they diagnosed Kishimon with, and she got better towards the end, so I hope the best for Sumire.

I do think it's a mix of Up Front being rather open about what's happening and a current shift in Japan's view on mental health. I wouldn't be surprised if the members 10 or 20 years ago had similar problems but pushed through - or just left.

[Shoujo Q]

Makes me wonder if that’s what’s made Fukuda Asuka leave so quickly. Back then, leaving to study was probably them hiding the fact the girls were suffering mentally with all the pressure.

Morning Musume will get a 14 episode show on Hulu Japan, called "Happy Daisakusen"! a mix of challenges, variety and documentation (following Ayumi's grad con).
Ayumi calls it a mix of Showa and Reiwa variety show.

[Zoe]

Aw man, why Hulu. At least with Netflix or Prime there are ways around region blocking while still having a legit account.

[JPope]

Sweet! I'm happy to consume this by illegitimate means.
