Uemura Akari Blu-ray

A preview for Uemura Akari’s solo blu-ray titled Akari has been released.

Of course, the time has come to once again enjoy the amazing looks of Akari and thankfully the focus is not only on her bikini pictures which seem to be the ones that are currently mind blowing fans around the world with her recent PB release.

With a start showing off a yellow bikini as well as a cute sundress, it’s a perfect video to showcase her looks and her personality a bit more for fans to enjoy.

December 16 is the date of release, so it’s the perfect gift for any Juice=Juice fan!

NEXT YOU “Next is You!” Single Announced

| kame

NEXT YOU Juice Juice

Juice=Juice’s fictional idol alter ego NEXT YOU will be releasing their 1st single titled Next is you!

As we mentioned before, Juice=Juice will be playing a fictional idol band called NEXT YOU and they would be releasing singles under that name while the drama Budoukan played out and it seems like we’re already getting a new single announcement ahead of the drama’s airing.

The title itself isn’t the most creative, but I’m liking how they went for simplicity over a complex and long title. A nice detail is that it will be produced by Tsunku. Those who remember the drama mention might remember that the group in the drama are produced by the legendary producer so it’s nice that he will have a part in this release as well.

Of course, the release was mentioned at a conference so there are not that many details so far, but we should hopefully have a date for release sometime soon.

Takagi Sayuki Greeting

As always these videos are amazing news for fans since it gives us a chance to find out more about idols that usually don’t get much attention. Takagi is one of those idols. Talented and cute, but sadly overshadowed by a few of her fellow members.

Thankfully from the video and the cover it seems like we’re in for an amazing release with a beach as the background alongside Sayuki in a cute school outfit as well as a shirt scene that culminates in her taking it off to reveal a bikini.

The blu-ray will be available for preorder until November from e-Lineup with a release date for December. If you’re interested, make sure to get your copy since it looks like a perfect way to find out more about her!

Juice=Juice To Act in “Budoukan” TV Drama

| kame

Juice=Juice

Juice=Juice will be acting as the members of a fictional idol group titled NEXT YOU in the TV drama titled Budoukan.

The series follows the group as they strive to perform at the famous Nippon Budoukan. Tsunku, former Hello! Project producer will be included as well where he will be producing the group as well as composing songs and images for the costumes and choreography for the group. The drama is based off a book by Ryo Asai.

It doesn’t seem like Tsunku will be acting, but a producer based off him will be acting. It’s somewhat sad to see that he won’t but due to his situation it’s understandable. Still, this is great news for the group since it seems like a great way to promote their abilities while getting some acting experience.

There is an interesting tidbit though, Juice=Juice will be acting as NEXT YOU while the drama is being broadcasted, with handshake events, lives, as well as TV performances as the fictional group so fans are in for a treat since they’ll get a chance to enjoy a real life version of the drama.

The series will start shooting in November so make sure to check it out!

Hello! Project has changed quite a lot since I last immersed myself in the fandom, and while I’m still getting used to all the things that have happened in my time away it seems like they are still providing solid releases.

I’ll most likely be picking up this release since it features the best singles from the groups under the umbrella, even Berryz Koubou who went on hiatus a while ago.

For those of us who haven’t been up to date on all things H!P it seems like a perfect release to catch up, so definitely consider picking up a copy!

The release date is set for December 16.

| kame

Uemura Akari 235

Juice=Juice’s Uemura Akari will release her 1st PB titled AKARI.

The photobook was shot in Okinawa and will feature a DVD with a Making-of DVD.

Karin already had a chance to release a PB herself so it’s great to see another member get a chance to shine with a release of her own. Of course not much information is known at the moment but we should be getting a cover hopefully at the end of the month with some previews being released shortly after.

The release date is set for October 24.
