This month TWO 48 groups released a single: NMB48 and AKB48 (well, the latter just came back but they had some big promotion going on he whole month..). This was pretty cool and exciting.
But except for that, there wasn't that much interesting news.. Since both groups got/ will get a sepreate post, this post is only about the few other songs I enjoyed this month!!
02.10 Berryz Koubou - Motto zutto issho ni itakatta/ Erotic Rock
Berryz is back with another double A-side (the year of double A-sides!!!). And I really like double A-sides.. ;)
Motto Zutto is a slow song and a lot more melodic than their latest stuff. It still has some weird sounds so I think it's typically Berryz. Not their most interestig song, but everyone sounds pretty good and the song is really nice to listen to! The music video is a bit awkward at first watch, especially the dance and the outfits. But after a few times it's ok. Still, a pretty boring video..
Erotic Rock is definetely the more individual song here. There are actually some ROCK guitars that create an actual pop-rock sound. Again, Berryz voices fit this song really good and it sounds cool.
The video is also awesome, because Yurina, Maasa and Chinami are dressed as boys and try to seduce the others, who are dressed as revealing girls.
16.10 Kashiwagi Yuki - Birthday Wedding
Yukirin is back with her 2nd single ''Birthday Wedding''. The song is similiar to ''Shortcake'' and has again a very idolish cute style that fits her beautiful voice. It's not a very original song but it's cute and relaxing!
The video is a bit more interesting than last time even though the story is a bit confusing. Of course it's about a wedding. If I understand it right, Yuki wants to marry the skater boy and asks her parents (?) to come to her wedding. But her father (?) has to go away and she's sad. But he comes back in the last second and HAPPY END.
Well, I'm not sure... xD
Anyways, Yukirin is as beautiful as always and I guess her fans will all go crazy over her in a wedding dress. xD (She looks like a princess from a disney movie)
30.10 Team Syachihoko - Ai no Chikyuusai
A group I never reviewed before.. Oh yeaaaaah!! xD
Well, I heard about them before. For all of you who don't know them, Team Syachihoko is something like Momoclo's little sister group. They are from Nagoya and follow the same weird concept. They even have the same colours (red, blue, green, yellow, pink and purple) Momoclo had when Akarin was still there. (Akariiiii.. -.-)
But enough of the introduction. They released a new song that's called ''Ai no Chikyuusai''. And the song is AWESOME!! Okay, it is weird at first listen, but trust me, it will soon be really, REALLY catchy. It's pure Idol-pop, I know, but I haven't listened to something that original and fun in a long time. It's the same as ''Up Up Typhoon'' it really makes me happy listening to it!! The video is also sooooo cool. The editing of their heads looks a bit cheap, but all the things they do are sooo awesome: weird dancing, cooking and playing in green costumes. Don't forget how there are suddenly 2 or even more of everyone.. And also, these girls are totally cute!! The pink one reminds me a bit of Sato Amina and it's nice to see some beautiful eyebrows and forehead between all the bangs (green one). So yeah, please enjoy it!!
News:
Something REALLY awesome happened!!!! It was announced, that Momosu will be the interpret of the official support song for the Japanese national team at the ''Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics''. That's so cool!!!!!! First the J-melo song and now that, I can't believe how far they have come. They are finally recognized as a top Idol group again and are now ready represent Japan. I hope the song will be as awesome as their latest stuff and preferebly a bit more energetic and happy (less electro and dubstep).
Also, as of October 12th Michishige Sayumi holds the longest tenure in Momosu. Congratiolations Shige-san.. :) Sadly this means she overtroned Gaki, but I'm still happy for her because she really cares for Momosu and is a great leader!!
Gaki's still the best though!!
