Hello! Each project group, but women have also been active as a solo artist, character and charm that is really different. Against this background, the "Hello! Project" and the principal members of the "Hello! Channel" provides the fun of various professions in the world, and we plan to tell the reader to experience the severity of their members, respectively and through utilizing a unique series of groups beyond the challenge to the various planning! ; Not fit into the framework of Idol, Hello! Project activities as in the first crop graduate to pursue new possibilities that never showed, so we made a plan to express their individuality. ;; Main content planning; ☆ gravure Editorial / Mano Eri Takahashi Ai & vegetables; - Forum Idol "Halloween in the future professional" Mano Eri Takahashi Ai × vegetables; ☆ features; "challenge" halo hen / compete against units coordinated fashion! ; "Hello Work" edit / "work" is the theme of many colors that challenge! ; ☆ features "Congratulations major debut!

Hello!Project's groups are made up of active solo artists with a variety of charm and characteristics. In Hello! Channel, H!P's principal members show off their personal, unique, and challenging works. The early members of H!P, who were not trained to be idols followed their own roles that their showed off in solo work.

Planned contents:

-An editorial on Mano Eri's and Takahashi Ai's gravure works

-A fashion challenge thing. Possibly with outfits based on occupations?

-A history of S/mileage's imminent debut

-H!P karaoke battle

-A feature on H!P member's blogging and taking photos

Maybe? I probably made all of that up.

[quote name='PQ' post='76579' date='Mar 2 2010, 09:36 PM']Also, Airi's next single with back up dancers C-ute will be out on the same day, April 28th. Single V will be out on May 12th. Title is TBA's as well as if Airi will let any of the other girls share the spotlight with her. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />[/quote]

If you consider °C-ute's trademark style of release which consists: release a good single with few of your singers actually having a solo line, then one with even less, then a cover, then a very happy song and then a solo song about break-ups, for all I know there are more chances of Maimai getting a solo than they pull that again. I'm an Airi fan so I was happy for SHOCK! but, as everyone wished the single was actually released by the group, I'd say we'll be back to the good old duo featuring the other three.



And even being so schizophrenic, I still think this group's releases get more and more boring...

[tsukinobyouin]

The ecover is up for Maeda Yuki's upcoming single. She looks very pretty!

"People with schizophrenia sometimes hear voices others don’t hear, believe that others are broadcasting their thoughts to the world, or become convinced that others are plotting to harm them."



It's not a split personality disorder like many people believe.



That aside, recent C-ute singles have been disappointing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />

Ha ha, thank you for the information! Hmm, I didn't mean MPD so I don't know the real medical term but yeah, MPD is something close enough for °C-ute's line of releases.



I did like SHOCK! but before that, only Namida no Iro, although now it got old I can't stand listening to it anymore. And I do understand that Shock is too mucn Airi to even be considered the groups single.



Now, onto the new releases...



Single-V for Mano's Onegai Dakara... will be out of May 19th



http://www.e-hon.ne.jp/bec/SA/DetailMulti?...1&Sza_id=LL



By the way, Mano Spy DVD will have 2 discs out on July, 7th. http://ishop.tbs.co.jp/ec/tbs/product/deta...mp;cid=cat22517



And here is the creative (...) cover for the Winter concert Mobekimasu DVD







Finally, I know this isn't really for the upcoming releases but Suzuki Airi will be the one featured for April in the Digital PB's site. Birthday gift or promotion for a possible new PB? I could swear they would actually feature all the girls from Best Shot...

[Pucchi-Mo]

Melon's not dead, but they are recycled...



Finally, a collection of their B-sides. I would have expected this even before all the other recycled albums they did.



URA MELON

2010/04/21



*I'm not certain if that Shibuya live mentioned on the DVD is the whole concert. (IT BETTER BE)

[quote name='TightWetPucchi' post='77696' date='Mar 26 2010, 02:59 PM']Woah, at 4762yen, it pretty much has to be the full concert.[/quote]

That's my thinking and let's face it the world will be A MUCH HAPPIER PLACE with more MKB concert DVDs <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/clap.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' />.

In fact I don't think there can be too many MKB concert DVDs.

[Shoujo Q]

Lots of stuff for June~



Morning Musume's 43rd Single will be released on June 9th. It'll be the theme song to their Fashionable Play/Musical whatever.



Takahashi Ai will be releasing a new Idol DVD on June 2nd with Photobook to follow soon after for sure since you can't seem to have one without the other, unless your name is Reina. :<



Ongaku Gatas Concert DVD will be released on June 23rd. Zoomz in on Konno! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />



And Finally, Morning Musume Alo-Hello DVD on June 16th. Bikinis and Fun, that's all they serve, oh yeah and a mini concert too. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':popper:' />

[Pucchi-Mo]

The MKB blog confirmed the tracks on the included DVD, it will be the full concert. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



The official DVD tracklist is here.

It also mentions an interview about ALWAYS LOVE YOU + BEAT CRUSADERS as guest. I hope it's a cool PV.

Sayumi's new PB out on April 26th is called La (ラー) (http://www.wani.co.jp/article.php?article=126897918998)



And cool covers that remind me of Korean girl groups for °C-ute's Campus single, which will have two types of limited editions with DVD's.







Tracklist: (I think the cover is most appropriate for the c/w track title but not for the leading track <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':P' /> )

1. 01.キャンパスライフ～生まれて来てよかった～ [Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~]
2. 02.立ち上がれ 乙女達 [Tachiagare Otometachi]
3. 03.キャンパスライフ～生まれて来てよかった～(Instrumental) [Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~] (Instrumental)

Morning Musume new single is called "Seishun Collection"

From hello online, and more...



BTW, I saw rumor about ai graduation because of personal reasons, risa taking leader, and reina taking sub-leader... is this correct?

I actually read something like this a good way back in March, but dismissed it as unfounded 2ch bullshit.

[Special Needs Tricycle]

Wouldn't Eri be the next sub-leader? Why Reina?

That's right, I didn't notice it wasn't here yet. Plus, release date is set for June 9th, single-V's is for 6/16 and it is the theme for their new play, Fashionable, which by the way will also have as guests Mori Saki (yay!) and some UF Egg Sano...Kaori? Besides Saki Nakajima, as already announced.



All that to say I preferred a new sub unit a la High-King <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



As for the rumor, Michishige would be leader before Reina would, she'd like that, wasn't it one of her goals before graduating? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... deways.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dance:' />



Oh, and there was also the Hello!Channel book with Ai-chan and Erina on the (strange) cover.

Sano Kaori (or akari, but nevermind) appeared on the the berryz koubou play: "thank you very berry", or whatever it was called... it was around the end of 2009...

I read both of them (sano & mori) will be on the play for only a few times...

[tsukinobyouin]

New and pretty awesom sounding photobook for Yajima Maimi is coming out on 6/5. It's called "Yajima Maimi Shashinkan 2008-2010" and it will be a compilation of photos from Up to Boy. It'll also include unreleased photos from her UTB photoshoots, childhood pictures, and the standard interview/making of DVD.



Maimi's photoshoots from UTB tend to be stunning, so it'll be awesome to have them all in one place.

[thamychan]

Where's my Airi photobook? Sorry, but everytime I see news about new PB's I ask that question...



As for new releases, Berryz Koubou's 32th single has been announced for July 14th and it'll contain a new mix of Otakebi Boy. http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=PKCP-5160 Also, next month's Digital Books will feature Koharu... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /blink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I had no idea she could still be featured. Now I want a month for Maki!

[EmEl]

This is just a boring compilation, and not even all H!P. But it's on the helloproject website. On June 2, two compilations are coming out: Love and Tears.



"Love Koi" has old songs by Aya, Pucchimoni, TAKUI, Tsunku, Morning Musume, KAN, and other old songs by people such as Moritaka Chisato.

"Tears Namida" has old songs by Aya, Sharan Q, Tanpopo, Morning Musume, KAN, and other old songs by artists such as Princess Princess. It also includes Tsunku's Hamasaki song.



(Yes, this isn't an exciting release.)

[Special Needs Tricycle]

That is the most random compilation ever. That Hamasaki song is good tho. I CLY FO U AND U CLY FO ME~~~~

[Gerald]

Are they worth getting for the non H!P stuff? I haven't really heard anything by Tsunku/Sharan Q and the rest mostly don't mean anything to me but I'm always willing to expand my horizons <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.

If you want to look them up, most of them (if not all) are well-known enough that just copy-and-pasting the title/artist how it's listed on those discographies into google video search will find their songs for you to preview. I guess if you're into 80s/90s music, but don't know where to start it might be good. KAN's "Ai wa Katsu" for example is a song I really enjoy and was certainly popular back in its day.

[Shoujo Q]

The S/mileage members that are in that anime with the insanely long name that I can't remember right this moment will be releasing their first single on 6/16. It's called "Little Princess" I wonder if they'll make a PV for it? Hmm



Anyway the joint concert with Mano and S/mileage will also bereleased on the same day.

[Pucchi-Mo]

It seems a bit like a "pucchi best album" for Up Front related artists. (even if they just wrote something or a Tsunku produced artist covered it)



It's hilarious that with W's reputation, it was easier for them to put the real Sabishii Net.. Netanyahu? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sideways:' /> whatever, the HEART ON WAVE song from W's first album. I don't know JUST how significant this is to the theme, but apparently, Yorico from the LOVE album was classmates with Fukuda Asuka. Wait, her song for this album was an old Sonim single. That may be a bit more what they were going for, this makes more sense now. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



Ok, so this album is for people like me or Ukyo who like random connections that normal people would never notice. So the reasoning behind this album is more exciting than the album itself.



Moritaka Chisato on one CD & Takui on the other, yeah, definitely for Ukyo and I.

Both people who are credited in Nacchi's discography.



For #7 on TEARS. Stardust Revue's Mitsuda Kenichi arranged the last track on the Pinch Runner OST.



Just trust that every artist on this CD is connected to H!P in some random absurd way.



I could go on, but this is crazy.

[Special Needs Tricycle]

It's Hard-on Wave, thank you very much.

[Shoujo Q]

Neowing says Morning Musume will be getting a Photobook with their Alo! Hello4 DVD release, but it will be on 6/11 while the DVD is on 6/16.



Some quick C-ute news, their spring tour, 2010 Spring ~SHOCKING Live~ will be released on DVD on 7/7 and Maimi will have a DVD to go with her Yajima Maimi Shashinkan Photobook release on 6/23.



Oh and I totally forgot to add the H!P Mook, Hello Channel to my release list, that's been fixed. You should totally get a copy, it looks interesting. (Check out this Blog, it has Picture!)

It's so interesting in fact, they are releasing a DVD on 6/17, Hello! Channel the DVD.



Now, for the big H!P dump day! Lot of crap being released on July 14th, get her wallets ready!
