[03.28.2018] Kobushi Factory 5th Single - Kore Kara da! / Ashita Tenki ni Naare

[Anderei]

Announced on Girls Live.
5th single, first without the old members.
 
They did perform a song at the winter concert called Kore Kara Da. Fan recording. These are the outfits they wore for it, I'd be very surprised if it's not part of the single:

Did you mean as 5-nin or did I miss some important announcement ?

I did mean as 5-nin and meant to write old members.

[DonJuan]

Especially with Kawamura in that picture I was really confused as well, haha. Then I remembered her being in ANGERME.

[Zange]

Thank the gods they get to have a release as 5-nin, even if it only winds up being this one single, I was so close to thinking they'd add more members before a new single... Though I do wonder how the line distribution will work since, if I remember right, there's only one back girl left.

It's gonna be the four main girls singing and they'll toss Wada a line here and there.

[DonJuan]

Maybe they're going the ANGERME way. If it's a double-A they can have one song that focuses on 3 and another one that focuses on 2 members.

[Solarblade]

Apparantly, it'll be a double A-side, "Kore Kare da!" being one of them.

Sakurako looks a lot prettier with this hairstyle.


I hope lines will be a bit more well distributed between members even if only back girls left. I was a bit salty they gave 2 main lines (the ones in the middle of the chorus) to Hamachan on the last single and not let go one to Ayapan.

Or give her a rap.

[JPope]

This is the first KB news in 8 months that isn't negative, which is nice.

lmao she actually does rap in the new song.


Edit: second song is "Ashita Tenki ni Naare" (明日テンキになあれ). Supposed to be a cool rock song.

[Anderei]

They confirmed the outfits for Kore Kare Da. Said everyone has their own special part in the song:
 

 

[JPope]

At least the outfits aren't at all garish...

[Anderei]

I don't like the necklaces but I really love the sequins.

[momoirosaya]

The plot twist where Kobushi became the new C-Ute instead of Tsubaki.

[yuzuriha]

I actually love these costumes

[Zange]

...are my eyes playing tricks on me or are those sequins holographic?
Either way, love the outfits.

[DonJuan]

I think they're only colourshifting (as in, limited colours, not all colours of the rainbow like holo) but still very nice. 
 
Here's this week's H!S performance of Kore Kara da!.

[PyoKiyo]

^Yes, and those limited colours are blue, turquoise, green, purple, pink... in other words their member colours, which I find pretty cool!

[Anderei]

Radio rip of Kore Kare da.
 
I think this is really good.

[sayu1991]

I really like the outfits and the song so far!

Reg B reminds me of the cover of the Ee ka copy I have.

[Meikochi]

I didn't expect these casual outfits. We may end up with a cute MV for Kore kara da.

[MejraThea]

So Hirose's also a side-of-the-line girl, huh. Interesting.
 
Sako looks gorgeous in Lim A but rather unflattering in the rest.

With only five people, yeah.

[WonderBuono]

Did Sakurako lose weight or something because I did not recognize her at all in any of these? Or maybe I'm just really out of touch since I haven't listened to Kobushi in almost a year.


Edit: oh wait I bet it's the hair, I've never seen her with her hair down before so it's probably making her face look different to me.

[DonJuan]

She also had a hair cut. But yeah I think she lost weight as well.

[Purin-chama]

Could be that most of the petite members are now gone.


Though asthetically, having Sakurako and Ayaka on the ends, and Minami in the middle really balances the group visually.
