^ Will it be the last single featuring EriLinJun? Or the first featuring 5-nin line up?

Risako's new song is so good :luv2

^I'm guessing it will be their last single as 9. It says it's due out sometime in November and the 3 are graduating in December.

Probably is official though but who knows. I like it.

There are 8 members now, dear. :P But yes, it's JunLinKame's last.

^8, 9. It's within range. xD

Oh yeah I forgot about Koharu :/

Morning Musume 11th album out 12/1 !

http://www.shinseido.co.jp/cgi-bin/W...il?r=EPCE-5735

kinda fast, since 10 MY ME was released in March.
i guess that they are going to make some new songs to their spring 2011 tour...
or because they don't want to include Eri, JunLin and 9th generation to same album.

^ I think it's because EriJunLin's hardcore fans will be buying several copies of these 'graduation' releases = $$$$$$$

btw

# C-ute Music V 3 "C-utie Visual", out 12/8

# C-ute 14th single "Aitai Lonely Christmas" out 12/1

# C-ute Shocking Live, out on Blu-Ray, 11/24

^Yeah, they're definitely milking the triple grad thing. No surprise they're pushing out the next album so soon.

S/mileage's new single debuted at #4. So they're already doing better than the previous single. :)

Wonder why we haven't gotten any more info on Shining Power! though, the release is a month away I'd think we'd have a preview by now. :confused

^yeah it's kinda weird...
i hope that it's something like Otakebi Boy WAO!, it's their best song to me :yes

^Thanks for the bigger covers. Now I love the regular even more, it's so cute! :heart

Shining Power is going to be another Inazuma Eleven tie-in so it's probably going to be in the same rock style as the previous singles. I hope it's as strong as Otakebi though because Maji Bomber was admittedly weak in comparison. I do wonder what the hold up is... maybe Maji Bomber sales has them re-thinking their marketing tactics?

^Hmm, I think so too and Maji Bomber! is the lowest selling single by the four maingroups, if you look their latest singles.
UFA started a mass promotion when Maji Bomber sold 13 k on it's first week, so they managed to sell over 20 k.
it would be great that UFA would do that kind of promotion to all singles.

^ Yeah like S/mileage, they have a pretty decent promotion for their singles

I think they didn't have handshake events for Maji Bomber so that's why it didn't sell as much.

Somehow I find that very sad. =/ "WE CAN'T TOUCH YOU SO WE AIN'T BUYING."

They're idols, what do you expect? xD No handshake events just means less people buying more than one copy. The real fans bought one anyway, but at handshake events they'd easily buy 3+ so they could go through the line multiple times. :x

S/mileage's album is titled: Warugaki ① (Evil Brat)

:roflmao

Preview of Shining Power

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvMqp6sVocw

well, I think it's good, better than Maji Bomber!

+

1st week sales of S/mileage's "Onaji Jikyuu de Hataraku Tomodachi no Bijin Mama" are
17,998 copies.
little bit less than their previous major single's sales, but I think that they are much better.
I don't really care much about their major singles except "Yume Miru 15 sai" which is maybe one of H!P's best 2010 songs.

^Awww I just about to post all that. XD

Shining Power sounded nothing like I expected but I like the song, it's just their vocals I don't like. XD I think it'll do better than Maji Bomber! as unlike it's predecessor, it actually sounds like a A-side and a lot stronger. Plus, I bet they're going to do a lot of handshake events this time around before the single even has a chance to flop. This would be the point where I say "can't wait for covers!" but Berryz covers have always had this same-ish feel to them so I expect 'more of the same'. lol

I like what I'm hearing :yes
