C-ute Arigatou Mugen no Yell Arashi wo okosunda Exciting Fight

A preview for one of the cover’s for C-ute’s 28th single titled Arigatou ~Mugen no Yell / Arashi wo Okosunda Exciting Fight! has been released.

From what I can see it seems to be a bit standard with a picture of the members staring at the camera with smiles in front of a blue sky. Unfortunately, it doesn’t give us much of an idea of what to expect but it is a great photo if you enjoy simpler covers.

We should be getting the rest in a manner of weeks so definitely stay tuned for the update!

The release date is set for October 28.

Shiggy Jr

Shiggy Jr. has released the MV for their single titled GHOST PARTY.

October means Halloween related songs and it seems like Shiggy Jr. is joining the party with an electronic Pop song that is quite catchy. Of course, it’s nice to see that they are using a cute ghost effect to add some nice personality to the MV, alongside the Zombie para-para at the end with the kid half-heartedly dancing along.

If you like what you here definitely consider getting a copy of the (apparently meerkat fronted) single to support the band!

The release date is set for October 14.

HKT48’s Goto Izumi to Graduate

It has been announced that HKT48’s Goto Izumi will graduate from the group.

The graduation announcement was announced recently at HKT48 Theater during her birthday concert. She will apparently be graduating to focus on her studies.

Graduations are always sad and this one is definitely an interesting one since the announcement was done at her birthday concert. Sure, it’s a great way to say goodbye to fans and let them know you will be leaving, but it’s definitely a rather sad note to leave at the end.

Nonetheless, fans have enough time to enjoy her in the group for a month so definitely plan on attending her last event if possible!

The graduation concert will take place on October 30.

ANGERME “Donden Gaeshi” Preview Released

ANGERME

ANGERME have released a preview for 1/3 of their upcoming single titled Donden Gaeshi.

The preview starts around 6:41.

The song itself sounds quite animeish with a powerful vocal backed up by a band. So far the quality is a bit on the low end but it does give us a good idea of what to expect and I am quite excited to say the least for this powerful release.

Give it a listen before the video is taken down!

The release date is set for November 11.

BiSH Announce 2nd Album Titled “FULL METAL JACKET”

BiSH

BiSH have announced their 2nd album titled FULL METAL JACKET.

The album will apparently have 10 new tracks on it.

Not much is known about this interesting Pop/Rock band but while that might be so it seems like the band itself is quite interesting with a unique layout since it includes only the women in a unique idol concept.

The music is a bit on the metal or rock side, with a song from them having a unique Celtic metal sound to it that is honestly quite catchy.

I’ve added the video for the song after the break so check it out if you’re curious about BiSH, but I’m very excited for the upcoming release since it seems a bit similar to Babymetal in a way with a more idol-centric concept.

ANGERME New Single Titled “Desugita Kui wa Utarenai / Dondengaeshi / Watashi”

ANGERME 324

ANGERME have announced the title of their new single to be Desugita Kui wa Utarenai / Dondengaeshi / Watashi.

It will release in six editions: Regular A, B, and C, as well as Limited A, B, C editions. The limited editions will come with a DVD, the regular editions will come with one random photocard.

This release is a sad one since this will be the last to feature Fukuda Kanon, one of the founding members of the original group S/mileage. Of course, members don’t last forever so I’m glad to see that this last release will feature a full release with three a-sides.

Not much is known since only the titles were released, but we should have some previews in the coming weeks since there isn’t much info, but fans of the group and especially Fukuda should pick up a copy!

The release date is set for November 11.

ANGERME Announce New Album “S/mileage / ANGERME SELECTION ALBUM ‘Taiki Bansei'”

| kame

ANGERME

ANGERME have announced a new album titled S/mileage / ANGERME SELECTION ALBUM「Taiki Bansei」.

The album will feature some earlier songs that feature new vocals by new members. There will be three editions: Regular, Limited A, Limited B with the Limited edition A features a Blu-ray with MVs and live performances selected by the members, and the Limited B featuring a DVD with the full concert for 2015 ‘Starting’ Live Tour.

It seems like we’re in for an amazing release with what I assume will be a great selection of songs since they will be re-recording a few songs from their S/mileage era. No more details have been released so far but it seems like S/mileage/ANGERME fans are in for a great album since this will be Fukuda Kanon’s last so a lot of effort seems to be going in!

The release date is set for November 25.

Yajima Maimi Flowing

Yajima Maimi will be releasing a solo DVD titled Flowing.

Solo DVDs are always great releases for fans since it gives them a chance to enjoy a DVD solely focused on their idol of choice. Of course, not much information has been released so far apart from the title and the image above but so far it seems like a solid release.

We might be getting a preview sometime in the coming weeks so stay tuned!

The release date is set for October 21.
