Well I know where my Christmas money is going.

[Sachiko]

All single songs?? Oo

Well, like that, nobody will have problem with the tracklist of this best-of xD But I already have so much songs from Berryz... It won't be profitable for me to buy it :(

[Meikochi]

Regular edition costs 6 singles (and they did 36) and limited edition DVD costs a bit more than 4 editions.. So I think it's worth, especially for people like me who only own a few of their singles.
(1 single regular edition is 1000￥ ; 1 single limited edition is 1600￥).

[star]

I have none of their stuff unless Cho Happy Song counts, and I won that instead of buying it, so this would be the jackpot for me.

[Elpis]

I own almost nothing of Berryz, Limited A looks like the jackpot.

The price per song is even better if you factor in that recently the singles have been double A-sides. If they include all of them, you're paying even less.
 
Someone on jplop says an article mentioned that the regular edition includes b-sides, stageplay tracks, and covers of other H!P songs.

[ShiroiChanUK]

^ I really hope this is true :)

[Anderei]

また通常盤にはカップリング曲や音源化されていなかった舞台の劇中歌、レコーディングしたものの音源化されてなかったおなじみの楽曲の別バージョン、ハロー！プロジェクトの名曲のカバー曲などが収録される。
 
Talking about the Regular edition, if anyone can confirm it.

[NekoKaiSai]

Yep, and different versions of well-known songs (I'm guessing things like the 2013 ver. of Anata Nashi de).  Though I don't know how good of a source the article that came from is.

[Zoe]

Natalie.mu's article has that line, and they're reliable.

Coupling songs, theater songs, other versions, and H!P covers

The regular version has 6 CD's according to the listing at the end. Also says it's 7000 yen, not 6000 yen.

[Anderei]

Thanks, I fixed the first post. ~$60 isn't a bad price for that amount of music at all.

[ShiroiChanUK]

For someone like me who doesn't own their discography this is perfect! :)
 
Edit: They couldn't throw in album songs too could they? XD

In many years, Japanese televisions will see those commercials for the complete discography of this group like we have in the US for old singers/groups that were really popular (so probably not Berryz unless their wota demand it. I demand it).

Seems really interesting !

 

[Anderei]

Covers are out. I'm absolutely going to get the regular version now:
 
LE A

 
LE B

 
Regular

 
 
Their calendar was really nice too. I guess the way to get good covers and stuff in H!P is to leave.

[star]

Is it just me or does Miyabi look slightly manly in these?

Pretty good covers though.

[Elpis]

Excellent covers. LB has the weird photoshopped single person per box look that's been popular lately.

[momoirosaya]

Miyabi's aren't too flattering, I think the orange mascara was a mistake.
Maasa looks really good in LE B.

[pandapanda]

My favorite Berryz covers by far. A++.

Thanks to you I spotted what looks wrong with her.
 
Momoko is absolutely lovely on the regular.

Too bad we get 2 versions of Chou Happy song and 2 of Dschinghis Khan but still, I like their choice.

[Anderei]

Marui Taiyoi is Captain, Miyabi, Yurina, and Risako. Get up Rapper is Momoko, Chinami, and Maasa.

Love Together preview

[Elpis]

Turns out there's an MV for Love Together. I personally like it, all the girls look nice. I couldn't recognize Risako at first.


According to YouTube comments, the dance has moves from past single such as special generation, heroine Ni narouka, and ryuusei boy.

[Meikochi]

Love Together MV is out.
 
Too bad Maasa looks really bored because the others are all shining and beautiful (Risako ). I really like the lyrics and the idea of mixing dance moves from previous singles (but I can't recognize all of them (I saw the 3 you said Mizura).. Did someone success to do it ?)
 

Spoiler: [+]

For the last scene, it's a bit weird to see them applause themselves ; I would have seen all members of H!P they knew or something like that applausing them.

[TicTacAnyone]

:40 Special Generation
:43 Ryuusei boy
:48 Ghengis Khan
2:00 Heroine ni Narou ka
3:18 Piriri to Yukou
3:23 21ji Made no Cinderella
3:27 Maji Bomber
4:12 Otakebi Boy WAO
4:16 Asian Celebration
4:20 Rival
 
 
That's all I can see as of now... And I think they are clapping for themselves for all the hard work they've done for over 10 years.

[Meikochi]

Thank you TicTacAnyone !
 
 
Sure, but I feel it would have been a stronger symbol if the public were the H!P family.

[smtmissin]

Maasa looks pissed. Let me hazard a guess. She was thinking "They said the last single was the last one. Why do I have to do this kind of thing now?"
IMO, she hates being an idol for a long time now.
