Digital!Music Delivery - Non-Physical Releases from H!P Singers

[arcobaleno]

Looks like everything's been $1.29 so far.

[Madara]

Well, THAT's within my budget. Thanks!

[Solarblade]

Today on UPCOMING, two more songs were put up
 
- Kenshuusei's "Isshakudama de Buttobase!"
 
- and awesomely enough, a duet track from Rei Inoue & Hikaru Inoue titled "Inoue no Uta"
 
 
(US Itunes links will come soon)

[DonJuan]

The two Inoues? That's random.

Calling it, Hikaru joins Ichioka's group.

[Solarblade]

[Anderei]

Wow, that MV is straight outta 2000.
 
I also don't really like the song.

[DonJuan]

That's the kind of trashy content I come to H!P for!

[Elpis]

The song isn't bad. But isn't the best thing either. It's better than the disaster that Miss Henkan was though.

This is DEATHRABBITS level of cheap and silly. Or some other 100 yen indie idol group for that matter. I approve.

Hellopro needs to branch into this market more since they don't seem to have an idea how to make their mainstream groups exciting.

[Anderei]

Alright, next up is a fucking song about CATS.
 

 
Obaka Neko to Obaka Neko Baka no Uta
Lyrics by Nagae Kuwahara, Composition and Arrangement by Sato Akira
 
It's on the Japanese iTunes store.

[momoirosaya]

This time the cat is stupid instead of sexy. Hahaha

[DonJuan]

I haven't listened to it yet (don't know if there's even a way to preview it) but... two of my fav members doing a duet about cats? Man, I hate buying music digitally but now...

Here it is! (36:46)


It's adorable. Not a banger but really relaxing. The MV is simple as heck but I gladly take 3 dozen cats over the Inoue no Uta MV haha (which wasn't horrible but hilariously trashy).

[Shoujo Q]

Ah, it's adorable fluff. That type of song really suited Iikubo's voice.

[Solarblade]

This week on UPCOMING! we get a new duet with Funaki & Yokoyma called "Min Min Rock'n'Roll" a summer track about cicadas lol!

[Anderei]

I was with it until the cicada part. These all sound like joke songs, I feel they were made specifically for this segment.

[yuzuriha]

Oh man that's one I can actually get behind

[TicTacAnyone]

Even if they are "joke songs" I just see it as good exposure and valuable recording/singing experience. I mean, how often do we get to hear Harunan sound that good when she barely gets any lines?

[Shoujo Q]

Yokoyama sounds like Zukki. First she sounded like Mai and now like Zukki. I don't know how to feel. D:

[momoirosaya]

The pv was cute. These songs make me think of Mini Moni.

[yuzuriha]

I've thought Yokoyoko sounded like Zukki from the start.  I kind of loved this, she is too freaking cute. And this actually made me happy about the big ol' H!P shake up because Funaki is great I just gave zero shits about CG.

[Shoujo Q]

That was cute. Reina's gonna be great in a couple of years if she keeps at it and doesn't fall flat in her training. 
 
I want Funaki to do some enka or something. She did an enka song in one of her FC birthday events last year and it was great, but never made it to the DVD.

Check out CG's 2016 SATOYAMA bus tour, Funaki + others did Lady Mermaid. Might be the closest you're going to get, lol.

Some little insight to why the music is being recently released digitally
 
"from mr A."
 
Hello! Project released a statement on why they are pushing to release more songs digitally for H!P's future while still releasing CDs as usual.


Each H!P group releases 2 to 3 CD singles a year up until now. But to make things even more fun, they want to try new methods of releasing a variety of songs digitally by music download and video download even more. This will allow them to experiment with songs not seen in the usual CD releases. They can create solos, shuffle units and have H!P OG members in these songs too. Each H!P group will continue to releases CDs as usual, but they will now release a various types of songs digitally that is especially made for live tours as early as possible.


below is list of songs recently released for download

[Shoujo Q]

Nice. If you want to make your first post a catch all for all the releases that would be cool Solar.

[Solarblade]

I've been compiling them in the first post, though should this become the digital song thread then and not just Upcoming! centric?

[Shoujo Q]

Title of thread has been updated to reflect the digital releases. I think we should also link to the actual release for people so that they can purchase the songs.


For the case of a major release like Juice=Juice a separate thread will be made. But will also be added here also as a go to spot when the thread eventually disappears into the forum pits.


One off shuffle groups will remain here unless they get a full digital single release.
