News, news, and more news

Over the past few days there have been a huge amount of new news in the Hello! Project world. Instead of multiple small posts, here is one big post with most of the news.

  • Morning Musume's 45th Single Announced
Wow, 45 singles already? Titled Maji Desu ka Suka!, it will release on March 23rd and will be 9th Gen's first single. I ordered three of the limited editions as soon as I could and I hope that everyone will do their best to support the new Morning Musume and give the 9th Gen a nice warm welcome.

  • New Aichan solo DVD announced, PB to likely follow
On April 20th, a new Aichan Solo DVD will be released and probably a week or so before (or maybe even on the same date), a photobook will probably release as well. Unless they try and squeeze another photobook in (which did happen with Eri), this will be Aichan's last as a member of Morning Musume. I, for one am honored to see the legendary Aibutt one last time.

  • Morning Musume OG are back
We already knew they would be doing a tour together, but what was recently announced is that they will be releasing an album on April 20th and that during the course of 2011 they will perform 57 concerts. The group is called Dream Morning Musume and former Musume members Koharu, Ogawa Makoto, Mikitty, Yossie, Rika, Abe, Yaguchi, Keichan, Kaori, and Yuko make up the group. Great news for all OG fans.

  • C-ute's 6th Album announced
It will release on the same day as Morning Musume's 45th single (3/23). 7 of the 11 songs will be completely new so C-ute fans have a lot to look forward to. I think C-ute's albums have gone significantly downhill ever since their awesome third album, so I hope that "Chou Wonderful! 6" will break that trend.

  • Seishun no Serenade 1st week sales
are 11,802. It's Manoeri's lowest selling single, but it still has a legitimate shot at surpassing Onegai Dakara's overall sales. It sucks that her sales are getting lower, but as long as she keeps making good music (I quite like this song) then sales don't really matter.

  • Eri/Jun/Lin Graduation concert to get a Blu-Ray release
Blu-ray DVDs have become pretty standard with H!P releases now so I'm not surprised. It will also release on 3/30. March is gonna be a great month.

  • Sayu is next
to have an e-LineUP solo DVD. I just wish there were PBs attached to these things. But oh well, at least many members are getting the spotlight.

  • Morning Musume 9th Gen FC Event
There will be two dates, first on the 6th and then on the 11th, the 9th gen will be formally introduced to the fanclub members and hopefully they'll get to hear them sing. Merchandise usually follows events and this one is no different. FC members will have a chance to purchase 9th gen's first set of goods.
