H!P Biweekly Roundup #4

• C-ute's Dance de Bakoon! debuts at #7

Released on the 25th, C-ute's 13th single debuted at #7 on the Oricon charts. Not bad considering their competition, but it's not great either. Estimated first day sales are 7,697. The single ranked 12th and 8th for Thursday and Friday, respectively.  As of right now, the single has sold about 14,000 copies (by my estimates), so I'm expecting and hoping for a 20,000 first week, which would be pretty good all things considered.

• Risako makes her soloist debut

It was announced a couple of weeks ago that Risako would release a solo single for an Anime, Mecha Mote Iincho and today we have a release date. Look for it in stores on October 13th!

• H!P 2011 Calendar cover previews

Set to go sale later this year, the covers of the new calendars for each group have surfaced. Do want.

• Berryz's 2010 Summer Concert is out

Finally got my hands on the ISO and am currently uploading to Youtube right now. Will make another post with my thoughts when I finish watching.

• S/mileage's 3rd single covers

S/mileage totally seems to get the best of everything these days (not that I'm complaining!) and these covers continue that trend. The four limited edition covers were uploaded to S/mileage's website, as well as the single v cover.
