23rd C-ute Single - Tokai no Hitorigurashi/ Aitte Motto Zanshin

[Shoujo Q]

Single is out on 11/6 and Here be the Concert Rip
 
 
Too early to tell but I want to know if this song was arranged by Suzuki Shunsuke? It's got a heavy vibe of Juice=Juice and Morning Musume's The Matenrou Show.
 
End of 2013 is all about the horns apparently? 

[arcobaleno]

It doesn't sound bad so far.

2013 is a horny year.
 
Because of the particular sound of the synth bass, I would guess Hirata, if it isn't Suzuki.
It's sort of that weird, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBsOHZX93Ms">Issai Gassai Anata ni A-GE-RU</a> bass.

Going by trend of C-ute's recent singles, Suzuki hasn't done a C-ute A-side since umm...#13 Dance de BAKO~N! Hirata has had #21, 20,19,16 & 15 (damn, didn't realize it was that many)
 
Takahashi's last MM single was by him and it had a similar tone.
 
Reverse reply to Yuzu: and Hirata did that song too!

[yuzuriha]

The one part keeps making me think I'm listening to BUSU ni Naranai Tetsugaku.

This hasn't been posted yet in here. 
 
The concert footage from C-ute's live featuring this new single was shown on <a href="http://youtu.be/K23JjL1BPnY?t=34m39s">Hello!Station</a>.
 
It's growing on me. I like the Why Not? parts the best probably. :3

[Anderei]

Other a-side is titled Ai tte Motto Zanshin.

According to Chisato's blog post, they've finished done the photo shoot for one of the MVs. Hopefully we'll see it soon.

Here's a concert rip of the other A-side. Aitte Motto Zanshin.

Music video for Tokai no Hitorigurashi is out.

It appeared  on Hello!Station today.

H!P have definitely been releasing better quality PV's over the past year :) This PV is simple but very charming :)
 
Correct me if I'm wrong but is the song about wanting to improve your life to better yourself and not because other people want to you?

[Elpis]

^I think so. It seemed a lot more like old C-ute and less of Sexy C-ute.

[smtmissin]

I prefer sexy C-ute though... The girls are pretty, especially Maimi and Nakky (I am biased, again). But really, I would have liked this song better without knowing the lyrics.All in all, this is not a remarkable single.

I can't find myself liking the song period. Even after multiple listens I still can't seem to remember how the song goes... The PV is nice though, I'll give it that much.

[arcobaleno]

My opinion of the song's instrumentals might change, but I find it, well, netural. I kinda like the lyrics, but to me, what I really love about this video is Mai.
 
OH MY GOD MAI. She really got completely undeniably pretty between the last year and a half. She was never bad looking, but she's really gorgeous to me now.
 
As for the sexy vs. cute C-ute debate, I personally like cute C-ute. They are wonderful at both, of course, but that's just my personal flavor. I loved Adam to Eve no Dilemma, but seeing C-ute wag their butts all sexy in front of the camera was a little awkward for me lol

[smtmissin]

Talking about sexy....
 

Spoiler: [+]

 
What does hunger have to do with boobies? Airi seems to be touching her stomach, but for Maimi...
Airi looks so goofy

Posters: HMV and General Store are my favorites
Covers: Limited C
 
Not having that Duck Dynasty realness. NAGL.
 
Chisato is smoking in Regular B and Limited B. She needs to tease her hair more like that.
 
I like all of their outfits for the "cute" song.

[arcobaleno]

I like the Limited C one too, but I like only the HMV poster.
 
And lol random boob grab, it looks so silly.

[yuzuriha]

FINALLY GOT TO WATCH THIS
 
MY THOUGHTS (As posted in chat already so I'm sorry you saw this already Anderei)
 
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SINGLE EXCEPT CHISATO'S HAT AND NAKKY'S SHOES.
 
 
Maimai looks so freaking adorable and Maimi looks gorgeous.
 
I love the old school sound of the song and the super late 80s/early 90s vibe I got out of the video itself.
 
<3<3<3<3<3

[Elpis]

I don't like Chisato's hat either. But I didn't really notice Mai's shoes that much when I watched it.

I prefer this song! Lyrics good, sexy/cool girls.

[pandapanda]

I love them both.  So c-ute!  

[ShiroiChanUK]

I can't really remember Tokai no Hitorigurashi off the top of my head but I think the song has a really nice message plus the outfits and the PV are really nice :) I haven't listened to Aitte Motto Zanshin and I can't listen to it until lunchtime because I'm in work right now.
 
I love all the posters except the ones for Tower Records and Yamamo Music and I love all the covers except for LE B and RE B. I don't buy LE's of singles for anyone in H!P other than MoMusu so I'll got for RE A from HMV :)
 
EDIT: Unlike Tokai no Hitorigurashi I'll definitely remember Aitte Motto Zanshin off the top of my head but I love the lyrics, MV's and outfits for both songs equally :)

[Melon]

  that video
 
I can't decide if I want to spend more at HMV for the poster I like more, especially since H!P doesn't do B2 size posters with their singles, or just do CDJ.

[sayu1991]

I like both songs but after watching aitte moto zanshin it's official; I'm in love with Chisa

[arcobaleno]

Ai tte is complete perfection. I love this song so muchhhhhhhhhh

[pandapanda]

C-ute is basically the coolest thing that has ever happened to H!P.  Them and J=J are taking over all of my fandom.
 
Dumb question, but how do I get my hands on the General Store or HMV poster?  And how much will it run me?  Actually considering buying the physical release...

[strawberryjam]

You can order from HMV to get the poster.
 
As for the general store poster, you can get that ordering from CDJapan.

[al kusanagi]

Just know that they aren't standard full size posters. They are something like 13x10, so don't be disappointed when it's smaller than expected.

Yeah, I like this song much better. (The other one, "Tokai no Hitorigurashi, aka "Living Alone in the City," plays too much like a Public Service Announcement for high school kids going away to college.)
 
The girls all look and sound awesome, but Chisato is super awesome! She just keeps getting better and better.
 
If I had to pick one out of the five to promote as a solo artist, particularly for live solo concerts, I'd pick Chisato. The others work great as an ensemble act, but I believe Chisato can sustain a live solo show most successfully out of all of them.
