Airii~n Deshou?! Monthly Wrap Up (August 2011 Edition)

Another month has come and gone, which means it's time for another (late) monthly recap post.

• Aa, yo ga Akeru PV in HD

 Berryz's new PV aired on M-ON!, allowing us to see it in all its HD glory.

• Makeruna Wasshoi announced

 A new Bekimasu song got a special release and of course I had to buy it.

• A bunch of subbed HelloPro! TIME episodes

August was totally an epic month for HPT episodes because it's the month where we finally caught up to the current episode. Behold episodes nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen.

• Uchouten Love breaks S/mileage records

It sold over 13,000 copies on its first day alone and went on to sell almost 30,000 copies in its first week, making it S/mileage's best first week ever.

• My review of partenza

A few days before its release date, the mini-album was leaked onto the internet and I gave a very positive review of it. I see it as an experiment of sorts, with Buono! trying out some new things and it's a huge success as far as I'm concerned. It's now my favorite H!P album of all time.

• Airii~ndeshou?! turns 1!

I started this blog in August 2010 and boy has it grown so much since then. Thanks everyone!

• New S/mileage sub-members

Here, I talked about the newly announced sub-members and later I wrote a much longer post on my overall thoughts of the auditions.

• Sekai ichi HAPPY na Onnanoko PV

Colorful PV is colorful.

• Chobi meets Aichan

Airi fangirl Chobineko got the amazing chance to meet Aichan and blogged about the whole thing.

•  Buono!'s Rock'n Buono! 4 concert was streamed on Youtube

It was definitely fun to watch a Buono! concert live (on Youtube). The setlist could have been a bit better, but the partenza songs made everything OK.

• Ogawa Saki graduates from H!P

Who knew another H!P member would graduate before Aichan? I tried to make some sense of it all, but it doesn't make me miss her any less.

• Riho's first PB released

Get used to it, Rihoriho is gonna be Morning Musume's future <3

• Full PV of Kono Chikyu no Heiwa wo Honki de Negatteirundayo

One of the PVs for Aichan's last single.

•  S/mileage's 2010 Fall concert blu-ray rip

My blu-ray encode of S/mileage's first concert. The quality itself is lacking for a blu-ray disc, but the concert is very good.
