Mano Erina - Haru no Arashi

[tsukinobyouin]

A preview is out for Mano's 6th single, Haru no Arashi. Check it out here! It's actually the entire song.



It's very reminicent of old school idol songs, in the typical slightly-updated Mano style. It's a mid-tempo song, very pleasant and not too boring. It's not as memorable as some of her others, but I like it.

I loooove this. I can't wait to see the PV.



Maybe I should finally get around to downloading her album.

I love it. I don't get why people don't like her and call her stuff "boring". She is a truly talented woman.

Mano is getting better and, even if her songs don't sound all that good, you can hear them getting a little bit more complex in the arrangement. At least, that is how I feel. Anyway, this PV will probably be cute from the photos I've seen in CD Data even though I wish she'd stop wearing light-colored clothing for her promotional shooting, it makes all the releases since Kono Mune wo look the same to me; it's confusing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':suika:' />



Oh, she's so pretty. (Please, ignore the random comment!)

One of these days they will stop dressing her like a 5 year old who is visiting some stuffy old grandparents. Some day.

Anyway, mixed feelings. I don't like her voice at all, but I like the style of the song. On the other hand, I feel like it kind of goes on and on without ever having a hook or part that's really like "Wow!" I might like it more after listening to it a few more times, though.

They have announced the Single-V for 2/10 here: http://www.7netshopping.jp/dvd/detail/-/ac...0158017/subno/1 but the PV will still be in the Single V Clips in March accordinh to e-hon's description (from "Otome no Inori" to "Haru no Arashi").

PV preview here. Pretty boring so far (especially the closeups being on a lame solid purple background), but it's only 30 seconds so here's hoping we're missing out on the better scenes.

(psst. it's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyyYAzX3pic Yeah, it's weird that it randomly generated the word "pic" in its video ID.)



Her outfit remains light, but at least it has turned pink instead of white to at least give a little color. I guess.

[Farrah]

I feel like this is the kind of song that should have dancing to it, it's kind of weird to see her just... sitting there, or standing around looking out windows.

[Noa]

I'm a huge Mano fan, but this song just isn't catching me. And the boring PV doesn't help.

Full PV is up on DohhhUp! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />





Watch Mano as she gets her vogue on.



And it looks like she lost s/mileage as her back up dancers.

[AEUGNewtype]

I like this song quite a bit, its very old-school, as is usual for her, and even though the PV is kinda boring, it looks good, speaking of composure. It sucks she lost S/mileage as her dancers, though it may be temporary, who knows. Then again, the fact they're supposed to go "major" this Spring might also have something to do with it. This isn't mind-blowing or anything, but I'd definitely listen to it on a CD in the car, which is what I usually do.

[Noa]

I do like it a little better with the whole PV, but it's still not my favorite.

Is anyone sure who all the eggs are? I recognize them but the only one I can name is Saho Akari.

Saho, Akari Takeuchi, Azusa Sekine, & Fukumura Mizuki. You think Tsunku is going to make a group out of them?



It a nice PV. In the beginning I thought she cut her hair but it was in her jacket.

I will never, ever be able to watch this video or even listen to the song without thinking of that and laughing until I can't breathe. Aughhh this song is ruined for me.



I still love it though.
