H!P Biweekly Roundup #1

In order to have constant H!P related things to talk about, I have decided to do a weekly recap of recent H!P news. Not sure exactly when and how often I'll do this, but anyway this is for last week and the couple days from this week.

  • Morning Musume's 44th Single titled, LQ preview uploaded
Titled "Appare! Kaiten Zushi" (Admirable Conveyor Belt Sushi), seems to be in partnership with some sushi shop. A very low quality recording has emerged on the internet as well. There is too much background noise to really tell what's going on, but it should be interesting.
              



  • S/mileage's "beautiful mother" is a familiar face
S/mileage's 3rd major single, with another impossibly long title had a bit of a mystery surrounding it as soon as a title translation was revealed (something about being in love with a friend's beautiful mom). Just who is this beautiful mother person that they would be singing about? At best, I expected some random b-list celebrity, but we got something better - Tsuji Nozomi. It's been a while since I was genuinely surprised with something H!P related, but this definitely did it for me

  • C-ute's Dance de Bakoon PV aired on Japanese TV
The long awaited PV of C-ute's newest single aired on the Japanese program, M-ON a couple of hours ago. I haven't found a video yet, but some juicy preview pictures have surfaced. So far, Dance de Bakoon is turning out to be a solid C-ute release. If you can't wait for the August 25th release date, grab a copy on iTunes!



The PV is obviously cheap, but its a different kind of cheap. It's well edited and its mesmerizing. Song is pretty good and the dance is even better. And no one can really complain about line distribution in this one. It's been a while since a C-ute single has hit on all cylinders (for me, it was Tokkaiko Junjou that did it last), but I think Dance de Bakoon has everything going for it. Now if UFA would just promote it a little better...

  • Morning Musume in 3D?!
UFA is totally on a technology trip as of late and I love it. Apparently sometime in the future, a Morning Musume event will be in 3D. It will be interesting to say the least. Not sure how it's going to work or even what it will be about, but I'm looking forward to it!
