S/mileage’s New Song Released!

30 Jun

 

        So, more information on S/mileage’s new single has been released! The title is: “Suki yo, Junjou Hankouki.” (I love you, stong rebellious age) So, I am expecting slightly cute lyrics with a strong instrumental. This picture has a small preview of what the outfits will look like. I do think that they are very cute and that they do fit S/mileage’s style perfectly! However, I can’t say that I like how the outfits are all the same. I personally love it when the members get their own ‘splash’ to what they get to wear. But, I still love them! So, the first single to this is defiantly original S/mileage.

 

There is a little tweak of difference to this however. They are doing a cover of a C-ute song! Now, this is a surprise to me! When I heard that they are to cover: “Kimi wa Jitensha Watashi wa Densha de Kitaku” I was like: How many covers of that song are they going to do?? (I guess that Tsunku really love that single…) I would never guess that S/mileage, with their squeaky voice and all, would ever do a ballad song like “Kimi wa…”! There is a preview of it from a Movie that they are going to star in:  Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro. (A truthful ghost story: Mimibukuro) And, to get off topic, their acting really isn’t that bad! ^.^

 

So, in conclusion, this will be an interesting single and I hope that everybody gets a chance to listen to it soon!

Minna-san, don’t forget to watch C-ute’s new concert on YouTube tomorrow! ^^ For me, I have to go to bed super early (It starts at5:30! There’s no way I’m going to miss this xD) but, some of you guys are luckier than me for this.

Please continue to support C-ute~! 😀

 

Berryz Koubou ‘Cha Cha Sing’ Solo Pictures Released!

29 Jun

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of posts, a lot of things have been getting in the way lately! >.< Anyways, let’s start! (^_^) So~ Berryz’ new single: Cha Cha Sing, was released a little while ago! It was confirmed by Tsunku that it will be a cover of the original Taiwanese song. I did look it up on YouTube and it’s a great song~! ^^ It’s really great because it’s traditional beat but, the lyrics make it sound more hip hop/rap. I mostly hope that the version that Berryz will be singing in will be Japanese so at the very least I can get the idea of what it’s about and hopefully be able to translate it once to romaji comes out! 😀

 

Pictures:

 

 

Momoko Tsugunaga:

Kawaii Kawaii Momo-chi~! Even though I do hope that she looses the pig tails VERY SOON, I still like this picture a lot. I don’t think that she will loose them soon at all because it is a symbol for Momo-chi for her to be cute. It also gets her on a lot of verity shows and interviews.

 

Shimizu Saki:

 

This does fit Shimizu well but, her face seems a little boring for this pose and this outfit. Although, I do love the spunky-ness in her full body pose! 😀

 

Sudou Maasa:

Sudou looks great! There really isn’t anything to say but this picture other than it’s adorable! ^^ But, in the close up picture her shirt reaches down to her skirt. In the full body, it shows her whole torso! xD

 

Kumai Yurina:

In my opinion, Kumai looks the best in these pictures! This style just suits her so well!^^ Although, I would love to see her with wavy and/or curly hair! 😀 It seems like she always has her hair like that. >.<

 

Natsuyaki Miyabi:

I have to admit, Miya always looks so pretty! And she always has the presence for innocence with a slight bit of sexiness! I like her hair short way better though, that pixie look was amazing~!

 

Tokunaga Chinami:

Adorable-ness= 100%! The close up shot makes look again, innocent. But, the full body shot makes her look bold! Even though, it looks almost exactly to Shimizu’s shot…… (All of the full body shots are either with the bold legs or the legs right next to each other with their heels up…)

 

Sugaya Risako:

I left this one last for a reason….. Oh gosh, where do I start???? Risako defently has the best poses but, HER HAIR!!!! It looks like she oculdn’t decide on dying her hair Blonde or Brown so she just went in the middle, it looks gray. Plus, she has those annoying “hair balls” behind her crown. WHY?!?!!?!?!?!? >.<

 

Over all, most of the pictures look great! It kind of looks like they’re punk princesses, who are ready to go to the beach! (The shoes) I’m really excited for this single and I hope that everybody will support their new song~!

 

 

 

 

 

S/mileage’s 11th Single Announced!

25 Jun

So~ S/mileage’s new single has just been announced! There really isn’t any other information on it though! So, I guess that all we can do is simply wait and see what’s going to happen. I’m personally really excited because S/mileage always has these cute and unique songs that just about everybody can relate to! Plus every time I hear that a new H!P group is coming out with a new song, I always right away think of what the theme is based on the title, what the outfits will look like and, of course, try to picture what the MV/PV will end up like!

 

I hope that everybody continues to support S/mileage and their new single!

 

Berryz Koubou and C-ute’s version of Chou Happy Song!

25 Jun

Look what I found~ It’s group solo versions of Chou Happy Song! Tell me what version you like better… (^_^) I personally like the C-ute version better not because of the voices (Saki’s voice sticks out a LOT and well…..it sounds like she’s singing out of her nose! XD) but, because the quality is so much better! Enjoy~

Radio Rip for 9 Gen.’s Aisaretai no ni…” Released!

24 Jun

 

This is a great release for MM! I think so because it really showcases the underdogs of 9 gne.- Mizuki and Suzuki! I love when I get to hear Zukki’s voice in a song, it’s so different from the other high pitched voices that take over MM! Although, Eripon doesn’t get that much lines at all! She isn’t my favorite member of the 9 gen. but, I was kind of surprised when I didn’t hear that much of her voice. I hope that when the full rip of this song comes out I’ll hear more of it!

 

This was a great idea for Tsunku to give out a personal song to the 9 gen.! 9 gen. is my favorite gen. in MM history so, I love this single!! When they all sing together it blends so well! Especially with Zukki being the base with her slighty deep voice, unlike the other gen.’s. I can’t really say what I like and don’t like about this song but, I’ll defiantly finish this review once the full version comes out! Until then………

New YouTube Video!

22 Jun

Hey everybody! I’m going to start doing promoting my fansubs on WW!P now! (^_^) Ok, so~ if you don’t know already I have 2 fansubbing accounts- HPfansubs0516- active and XOcutie901- unactive.  I do take requests (H!P and UFA only, sorry) if you want me to do a song for you! Just make sure to have A. The English translation (Or the official lyrics for it if you can’t find something already translated) B. The video you want me to subtitle. I used to take requests without the video but, most of the time there wouldn’t be a video out there for me to work on. So, that pushed aside, I’m first going to post MM’s One Two Three MV! (With English subtitles!)

One Two Three MV Released!

22 Jun

Ok, so a yesterday the full MV for MM’s new single- One Two Three came out! I made a full review on it yesterday and I posted it but, it never went though and it got deleted! >.< So, I’m going to try to remake it! 😀

There were of course, a few things that I didn’t like about this MV. First of all, the annoying sparkles that are always on the screen. Those just gave me a head ache! And two, there were. at some points, just horrible moves on the dance shot. (Yes, I’m talking about when they did that arm thing right before they start to talk xD)

Then, above all of that, there were the parts that I just loved! Like, the scenes where they modeled! I think that the girl looked stunning with all of their make up on! Also, I love how they did the close up. Tsunku had a mirror put in behind them so it looks little bit more glamorous. Which, in my opinion, bumped up the MV!

When you look past the sparkles and glamour,  it’s  pretty clear that it’s a simple MV. But, that’s not always a bad thing. I think that the bad songs need an amazing MV. And, the awesome songs don’t even need one, the song speaks for itself!

Anyways, I came up with a personal translation for this song! You know where to find it. ^^ (Under the translations page) Also,  I added it to the MV last night ans I uploaded it on YouTube! Just remember, if you are going to use my translations in any way, please give me credit or, notify me. Thankyou!

Ok, guys the video has been fixed^^

Mano Erina- Song for the DATE MV Realsed! –Review & Personal Thoughts–

21 Jun

The full MV is now out! I’ve been waiting for this MV for a while! Well, let’s start out with what I like about the song itself. The main parts that I like is that it shows a new side of Mano, a somewhat darker version. I mean, most of her songs are either some what boring ballads or cute-sy songs. (Not that I don’t like them or anything, but, it’s pretty counter productive.) I love how Tsunku took a chance with her and gave her a Mature song! This is defiantly my favorite song by her! With Doki Doki Baby! in a close second.

Now the thoughts of this MV!  I think that the Black Mano is the real her. And, the white Mano is how she comes across. All bright and happy- white (pure). But, when the White Mano whips her hand across her face it shows that it’s not what she wants to be seen as anymore. I think that she feels tied up in this expectation of being a cute girl. (When she was tied up in the strings at the first scene.) And she’s trying to get rid of that image of her. (Pulling down the posters of her.) Trying to take it down. (Chasing the White Mano) And, what I think the last symbol is, is the Sunrise at the end! I think that it represents Mano entering a new- more mature- stage in her life.

Over all, I think that this is probably one her her best singles so far! I defently think that Mano is at her peak right now with Doki Doki Baby and now Song for the DATE. Mostly because, there have been so many boring songs by her that I think Tsunku is finally starting to make more flexible songs!

Also, sorry for the lack of posts lately!
