Yajima Maimi “Flowing” Solo Blu-ray Digest Released

Yajima Maimi Flowing

The digest for Yajima Maimi’s upcoming solo Blu-ray titled Flowing has been released.

There is a weird moment where the camera just runs off when Maimi goes up the stairs to later find her reading a book casually, but other than that it’s amazing to see her enjoying the poolside and walking around the interestingly adorned house.

Those who loved the digest (after the break) are definitely encouraged to get their copy since we’ll be getting the Blu-ray on October 21. Just a few days more!

Akimoto Sayaka’s Song To Be Used As Theme For “Bikuu”

Akimoto Sayaka

Former AKB48 member Akimoto Sayaka announced that her new solo song titled Sengetsu ~Hikari to Yami no Soba de~ will be the theme song for her new starring movie titled Bikuu.

It’s been around 6 years or so since we last got a song from her so it’s quite impressive to see that we will be getting new material, but it’s a perfect way to promote and likewise show off that she still has the talent to do perform. For now it doesn’t seem like there will be some physical release, instead opting for a digital release.

It makes sense since the song probably is probing to see just how it will do but we might be getting a physical release if there are more songs. Since it has been so long since her last release we most likely won’t get more songs but you never know so fingers crossed.

The movie is set to open in theaters on November 14, so everyone is encouraged to check it out. If you’re still on the fence about it, there’s a preview of the song and the movie after the break!

C-ute’s 9th Album Announced

C-ute 235

C-ute’s 9th album, currently untitled, has been announced.

The announcement was done at their recent concert performance where they performed a track titled IRON HEART from the album for fans to enjoy.

A concert recording for the song is available but since it’s only available as a download of a rip I won’t be able to link to it, but as soon as a Youtube link is provided I’ll update the post. Regardless, the song is epic, it has an upbeat sound to it with guitars and a jumpy feeling to it that sits an anime perfectly.

I’m hyped for this album! The release date currently being mentioned is for December 23 (pending a store link confirmation), so make sure to put it on your Christmas wish list.

Arashi “Kokoro no Sora” MV Released

Arashi Japonism Limited Edition

The MV for Arashi’s Kokoro no Sora has been released.

As we saw when we got some details from Arashi’s latest album a while ago, it seemed like one of the first songs from the album featured a more Japanese inspired sound to it and from what we can see it seems like that hold up with the MV.

We get to see a passionate guitar player, a Taiko player, as well as some traditional Japanese instruments in front of a Zen garden. The set just seems to exude an amazing Nihonesque feel to it that fits the song well.

Check it out for yourself after the break!

The release date is set for October 21.

Perfume “STAR TRAIN” Teaser and Preview Released

Perfume Star Train

A short teaser and preview for Perfume’s STAR TRAIN have been released.

The teaser consists of 30 seconds of video where we get to see an empty room with the members walking away from the screen with a movie projector in the middle. The song isn’t long at all and it’s basically just that: a teaser. Yet, it gives us a good idea of what kind of theme the MV will have.

If that isn’t enough there is a full preview for the song courtesy of a radio rip and so far the song sounds quite solid

The teaser is after the break but remember: the release date is set for October 28, so make sure to get your copy!

Country Girl’s Yamaki Risa “Greeting ~Yamaki Risa~” 1st Solo Blu-ray Announced

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

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!
