Oh My Wish
Sukatto My Heart
Imasugu Tokikomu Yuuki

The Event V covers for Morning Musume ’15’s Oh my wish! / Sukatto My Heart / Imasugu Tokikomu Yuuki have been released.

Event V’s are nothing new in the Hello! Project universe since we usually get them after the release of the single and the events to promote are well underway. Sure, the Event V’s are only available at events, but it’s nice to see that we will be getting solo shots for every song from this release!

So far my favorite would definitely have to be Sukatto My Heart since it has a colorful, brighter theme that stands out nicely.

If you manage to find one on Ebay or personally picking one up at the events then please do because you’ll get a chance to enjoy a your favorite member’s shot.

Yamakiri Risa Greeting

Country Girl’s Yamaki Risa has announced the release of her 1st solo blu-ray titled Greeting ~Yamaki Risa~.

Having come from my short hiatus from everything Hello! Project I’m happy to see that some things don’t change, for example, the featuring of new members in solo blu-rays. Mostly because it means that fans get a chance to see and find out more about a particular member and from what I can tell this release will feature horses.

You can check out the digest after the break and if you like the digest consider supporting her and getting a copy of your own.

The release date is set for Mid-December, with pre-orders being taken from today until November 3 on eLineUp!

Yurumerumo! “Ningen wa Sukoshi Fumajime” MV Released

| kame

Yurumerumo

Yurumerumo! have released the MV for their single Ningen wa Sukoshi Fumajime.

The song will be the theme for their movie Onna no Ko yo Shitai to Odore.

As I watched the MV, it seemed like they used an interesting theme since we get a long haunting background noise combined with shots of the members doing activities such as cleaning and using a computer. The surprising aspect was the addition of the members holding up signs with the 7 sins and a few other words, which in a way is reflected in their character in the shots we see.

Sure, it won’t be the most upbeat song we’ve ever heard but it’s worth a watch since the vocals are quite nice. It does pick up in tempo as the song goes so there is that.

The release date is set for October 21, just a few days away!

Hokago Princess “Kiete, Shirayukihime” Short MV and Single Details Released

Houkage Princess Kiete Shirayukihime Regular

The short MV and single details for Hukago Princess’s Kiete, Shirayukihime have been released.

With a catchy sound and an interesting Snow White theme, it seems like this idol group has a perfect way to promote their release. Of course, the main draw is that there will be many versions of this single, 10 to be exact. Regular, Limited, alongside 8 solo versions for each of the members alongside the b-side of the single titled Kesenai, Nanatsu no Hoshi which will be featured as the ending theme for the anime Fist of the North Star: Strawberry Flavor.

Of course, some might say: “Too many versions!” and yes, you’d be right. Yet, it seems like this single definitely deserves it since the song is slow but catchy with a hook that ensures that you’ll be humming for hours.

We’re close to the release with the single dropping on October 28, so if you’re loving the sound definitely get a copy of the single.

Check out all of the covers alongside the MV after the break!

BiS 2014

BILLIE IDLE announced at their concert Rock “N” ROLL IDLE that they would be uniting the 6 former members of BiS.

The reunion will take place on an event titled Brand-new Idle Society. This will be the first time the group performs again since they went their separate ways on July 8 of 2014. The list of performers includes:

  • BILLIE IDLE
  • Lui FRONTiC Akabane JAPAN
  • Maison book girl
  • POP
  • Tenteko

There is some speculation that Saki Kamiya might be returning from her hiatus from the entertainment industry, mainly due to a tweet from the former BiS manager where he lists her name. This would be an incredible addition since having the entire group there would be an amazing way for fans to enjoy the event.

For now we at least know we’re in for a treat so fans are definitely encouraged to check out the event on December 12.

AKB48’s Wakana Natori Announces Graduation

Wakana Natori

AKB48’s Wakana Natori announced that she will be graduating from the group.

This was announced at their recent event at the AKB48 Theater. According to her, she stated that she has decided to expand her horizon and experience new things after being an idol.

Members leaving the group are a common occurrence, but that doesn’t make it any less sad since it means fans will no longer get to see them perform. From what she mentioned it makes sense that she decided to leave, especially since most girls who join idol groups find it’s not exactly what they want.

Best of luck Wakana Natori!

The graduation date hasn’t been announced, but it should be announced soon.
