[Hello! Project] 16th Thread - Mobekimasu ~The New Era of H!P~

[visionfactory]

When I first heard about the SAYOTAMA units I thought the nature concept was boring...

But this is so good!!

FOREFORE ~Forest for Rest~ by DIY<3


Looks like the new DEF.DIVA to me

[XFER]

Yeah, the DIY<3 song is really great. The Peaberry song, however, is not so good. And I can't judge the other songs by Harvest and Green Fields, but I hope to like them. I am mostly a Morning Musume fan, not H!P fan, so we'll see what happens.

[Mirai Noah]

Yeah, the DIY song is my favorite of the Satoyama groups.

oh and reina's graduating. just announced at their concert...yahoo put a article up but then deleted it?

[Bigtop]

CONFIRMED: Reina Tanaka is graduating.

Hello! Project's site: Official statements from Tsunku and Reina in regards to her graduation
http://www.helloproject.com/news/1211181600_reina.html

Also hearing her new band has formed up. The three girls (additional vocalist along with Reina as well as two guitarists) have been determined, now the next thing is to come up with a name...
http://www.reinaband.com/

Anyways, it's kind of sad that Reina's leaving Morning Musume (and Hello! Project). But it was about time - she was there since 2003, and for some, we agree that it's time to move on. I can't wait if she's going to do solo releases...because I want her to!!!

[Mirai Noah]

I was really hoping that the band was going to be in H!P. ;____;

I don't know, but all the reports are saying she's graduating from H!P too... Nowadays it seems you can't graduate from Morning Musume without graduating all of H!P too.

[mellody]

As much as Tsunku loves Reina, he never allows her to become a leader of Momusu even though she aims for that, lol. j/k

Morning Musume will never progressing if they keep those so-called Platinum Era members, even though I really love them. So this is another big step for them, for me I really appreciate this decision. Well, have fun in your new band, Reina.

Tsunku also said that Reina is one of the best singer in H!P, she even entered Tsunku's top three, I wonder who are the rest, Maki? Aichan?

Anyway, the band is still under UFA, I believe.
You can suggest a name for the new band as well, somewhere at reinaband.com or whatever it's called, I forgot.

[Solarblade]

If I remember correctly, Tsunku said that Ayaya and Ai-chan were the best singers (though the man is clearly deaf if he thinks they're better than any of the members from Taiyou to Ciscomoon/T&C Bomber)

[milky_way]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[XFER]

I am a bit sad about Reina leaving, but I'm happy Sayu stays <3 The only weird thing will be that Iikubo is the oldest with 18 years old, and the rest are younger. Then, there's Sayu with 23. I hope the age gap doesn't seem too much for Sayu that she decides to leave

Who do you guys think will be pushed to the front and become front girls? I assume Riho will continue being the lead along with Oda Sakura. I watched a recent video of the 9th and 10th generation members singing Renai Hunter, and Mizuki is a lead along with Riho. It's good. I wonder how they'll divide Reina's lines now

[mellody]

Sayu should stay no matter what, if it's only age gap, remember Nakazawa Yuko when she become the leader? The age gap is quite big with the others, around 8 years?

Most probably Sakura and Riho, though Mizuki should got some portion as well, since I think her voice is better than Riho. Kudo voice is also needed and Tsunku loves her voice as well.

[Nu-NRG]

Riho/Oda possibly the new Ai/Reina then we got Mizuhime/Zukki the new Risa/Eri
and Sayu...as Sayu lol Oda's voice really reminds me of Miki though... O.O

looks like 123 isn't a fluke the momemtum is building up so well and now Help Me! first days sales is at 61k!!

[visionfactory]

I heard they are doing a 47 prefecture campaign to promote the single, sounds big so I hope their sales are better than last single ^_^

[XFER]

They keep selling! I wonder if it will be enough to pass 100k. The b-side Watashi No Dekkai Hana is amazing! I would have given more lines to Haruna in it, but it still sounds nice <3

[visionfactory]

With "Help me!!", Morning Musume achieves their 12th Oricon Weekly No.1 with approximately 93000 copies sold.

OMG!! I can't believe they are so close to 100k again ^_^

T___T So happy for them and with Reina's graduating single yet to be announce that's given to be another top seller if not then IDK what's wrong with the fans

[visionfactory]

Help me!! got #1 weekly (First #1 single since 2009 with Shouganai Yume Oibito)

They are doing great ^_^

[Amrai-chan]

That's good for them. I've deiced to follow them more. I know their older stuff but the newer singles were meh for me until the last few recent ones.
