New PV Alert: ANGERME – It’s not just you … friends (Short ver.)

0
0

More promotional videos for ANGERME’s 24th single hit the interwebs today. “Kimi dake janai sa … friends” sticks around just long enough to give a taste of the song and its visual aesthetics. The newer generation does a lot of heavy lifting with Kamikokuryo Moe spending much of her time front and center before passing the baton to Kawamura Ayano, and Murota Mizuki. The slow pace of the verse soon hastens to a crisp double-time. Graphic overlays like polygonal surfaces or constellations magically emanate from the movement. Speaking of movement, Kawamura’s gorgeously elongated form strikes ballet poses before stirring up the particular motion, and the short skirts flare pleasingly with the groups’ twirls. “Kimi dake janai sa … friends” proves itself an enigmatic and fulfilling in its execution. “Manner Mode / Kisokutadashiku Utsukushiku / Kimi Dake ja nai sa…friends” gets its full (DVD/Blue Ray) release on December 13, 2017.

New PV Alert: ANGERME – Regularly and Beautifully (Short ver.)

0
0

The orchestra plays once again for ANGERME on their dramatic new promotional video. “Kisokutadashiku Utsukushiku” plays with intensity of girls stuck in a house of illusion turned upside down. It feels good to see ANGERME in their gothic best showing lace details over white skirts and jackets. Things get going when Takeuchi Akari and Funaki Musubu wake up on a dark hard wood floor. And, good times get going when the girls find themselves reset just as they reach the first landing of the staircase. “Kisokutadashiku Utsukushiku” plays like a supernatural mystery wrapped inside a Victorian novel, and I really wonder how things will resolve for our pair of dark-voiced heroines. “Manner Mode / Kisokutadashiku Utsukushiku / Kimi Dake ja nai sa…friends” gets its full (DVD/Blue Ray) release on December 13, 2017.

New PV Alert: Miyazaki Yuka, Makino Maria, and Kawamura Ayano – Zouni de Kenkashitenja nee yo

0
0

The latest from the Upcoming Music Delivery has arrived featuring Miyazaki Yuka (Juice=Juice), Makino Maria (Morning Musume ’17), and Kawamura Ayano (Angerme). The songs from and promotional videos from this special music delivery features things that are a bit off beat or wouldn’t make it onto a proper release for one reason or another. This time, the three featured girls run through some regional soup from Japan. There’s quite a bit of monologuing going on here, and I’m not going to pretend I understand even 1/10th of what’s going on, but any new release with Kawamuu is welcome in my book. You can get your on copy of “Zouni de Kenkashitenja nee” following the links below.

Yoshi’s Favorite Releases Of 2017

0
0

Gather around, boys and girls. It’s time to reveal my favorite releases from 2017. The folks who tuned into my stream on the 19th got the early access version of my list so don’t forget to follow our twitch channel so you can get notifications when we go live. Here we go!

I didn’t think 2017 was a great year for PVs so I made a top 5 list of the PVs I really enjoyed.

5. Tsubaki Factory – Shuukatsu Sensation

A simple, straightforward PV with a surreal element of Tsubaki Factory members trying to get a corporate job while performing the song.

4. You’ll Melt More! – Moimoi

A charming comedy PV about the members working at a restaurant and failing hard. There’s one solution to all of their work problems. HYPNOTIZE the customers that are complaining. Very aggressive light flashing around 2:55 so please be careful.

3. GEM – Sugar Baby

A “1! 2! 3! 4! Yoroshiku!” lite version if you will. A solid PV to showcase the members and it is quite refreshing to see members of GEM wearing school uniforms.

2. Keyakizaka46 – Kaze ni Fukaretemo

I have a thing for suits. All the members are wearing suits. The location, set/light change during the video is super well done.

1. BiSH – GiANT KiLLERS

This form of story telling is the only form I want in idol PVs. NO SEISHUN DRAMAS. The gun action in the second half is probably as good as it gets for idol PVs.

Other PVs I enjoyed:

BiSH – Promise The Star

Task have Fun – 3WD

predia – Nouvelle Cuisine

AKB48 – #Sukinanda

BiS – I can’t say NO!!!!!!!

Next up are my top 15 songs from 2017.

15. BiS – I can’t say NO!!!!!!!

14. BiSH – Promise The Star

13. PASSPO – playground

12. ANGERME – Kimi Dake ja nai sa…friends

11. predia – Nouvelle Cuisine

10. Cheeky Parade – Shout along!

An incredible idol pop take on rap metal. Plenty of idols have tried it before Cheeky Parade. They’re the ones that managed to leave an impression on me.

9. GEM – Sugar Baby

Like the title suggests. It’s sugar for days. I just happen to have a sweet tooth and the only cure is more sugar, baby.

8. Niji no Conquistador – No Life Baby Of The End

Danceman arranged song. A ton of horns on the reg. Plus Nizicon. Recipe for success.

7. GANG PARADE – Beyond the Mountain

Mysterious intro and verse sets up a spectacular chorus supported by solid vocals.

6. Morning Musume ’17 – Jealousy Jealousy

Tsunku comes back to write infectiously catchy melodies for this song.

5. Tsubaki Factory – Shuukatsu Sensation

N A K A J I M A T A K U I

4. Super Girls – Sweet Smile

The yearly quota of a Super Girls song making my list. Cute song that puts me in a better mood in any situation.

3. BiSH – GiANT KiLLERS

An aggressive song with attitude out the wazoo. Scramble in screaming vocals by Ling Ling and cutesy vocals by Atsuko combines for a unique effort.

2. predia – Kindan no Masquerade

Hard-hitting music accompanied by assertive vocals. As the two aspects fight for dominance, the song turns into THE power song of 2017.

1. Tokyo Girls’ Style – predawn

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this song. Alluring instrumentation, elegant melodies and possibly the best vocal performance of TGS’s history.


Other songs I enjoyed:

2& – Chippoke Hero

Gusou Drop – Painfully violent

HKT48 – Kiss wa Matsushikanainodeshouka

AKB48 – #Sukinanda

Niji no Conquistador – Natsu no Yoru wa Mijikasugirukedo

Yanakoto Sotto Mute – Any

You’ll Melt More – Moimoi

GANG PARADE – GANG PARADE

Keyakizaka46 – Kaze ni Fukaretemo

Those are my favorite releases of 2017! Thanks for reading!

A Winter of Change – the “ins and outs” of the idol world

0
0


 
We are now a month into 2018, and the dust seems to have settled a bit in the idol world. This winter saw an unprecedented amount of change in our fandom. Idols and groups from almost every Japanese idol tribe (AKS, H!P, iDOL Street, etc.) turned over at a massive rate. The list of groups is expansive and includes some of the highest profile idol acts. It would be impossible to give full detail to each and every lineup change, so we will just mention a few of the ins-and-outs that caught our eyes in the last two months.
 
 

Watanabe Mayu as Amélie Poulain
AKB48
The third generation fixture announced her graduation at the 9th Senbatsu Sousenkyo June 17, 2017. Mayu’s graduation concert was held on October 31, and her final performance at the AKB48 Theater on December 26. As of graduating, things seem to be going Mayu’s way: her next appearance will be as the lead in the Musical “Amélie” running from May 18 to June 3 at The Galaxy Theatre in Tokyo and at Osaka’s Morinomiya Piloti Hall from June 7-10.
 
 

ANGERME
The third generation member has been out of the lineup and on hiatus since since January 11, 2017 due to a struggle with panic disorder. Although there have been indications of improved health, Maho officially graduated on December 31, 2017 from both ANGERME and Hello! Project.
 
 

BiS
Founding member Pour Lui will leave BiS on the final stop of their current tour on March 4 in Tokyo. The decision was announced on January 6. With the move to major label, Pour Lui decided that the group no longer needs her and she has no more need of the group. Read her tweet from January 6.
 
 

Dempagumi.inc
After the departure of Mogami Moga on August 6, 2017, the Dear Stage group added new members Kaname Rin from Beboga and Nemoto Nagi from Niji no Conquistador. Both new girls will hold concurrent positions with Dempagumi.inc and their current group.
 
 

Fullfull ☆ Pocket
Founding members Tatsuki Miia and Nakahara Arisu (of both Fullfull ☆ Pocket and Karat☆) took their final bows from the group on January 7, 2018. The group is currently scouting for new members to supplement their current 2nin lineup of Ishii Shiori and Ushiki Hina.
 
 

GEM
As detailed here at NSK, the iDOL Street group are set to disband on after their March 25 concert. You can read more information regarding GEM here at NSK.
 
 

Idol Renaissance
After talks regarding the future of the group, Idol Renaissance will dissolves as of February 24, 2018. No information about the nature of the discussion between management and the idols were made public. All we know is the group formed in May 2014 will no longer be with us a month from now.
 
 

LADYBABY
Member Kuromiya Rei has been out of the lineup since November 17 of last year. Rei had been rehabilitating her throat, and did not want to threaten her future as a vocalist with a rushed return. Further, Rei mentioned that she felt her personality was ill-suited to be an idol. LADYBABY continues with Kaneko Rie and is currently recruiting new members.
 
 
Ariyasu Momoka
Momoiro Clover Z
Member Ariyasu Momoka graduated from the group on January 18. Her decision was announced barely one week before her graduation, which raised more than a few eyebrows. MCZ continues as a 4nin. See our article on NSK for more details.
 
 
Kudo Haruka as Lupinranger Yellow
Morning Musume
10th generation member Kudo Haruka marked her graduation from both her group and Hello! Project with a concert at Nippon Budokan on December 11, 2017. After her seven years in H!P, Duu stated that her goal would be to pursue an acting career. With a role in the Super Sentai Series “Kaitou Sentai Lupinranger VS Keisatsu Sentai Patranger” series as Lupin Ranger Yellow/Umika Hayami, she seems to be making good on her promise.
 
 
Ichikawa Miori
NMB48
Fresh Lemon Ichikawa Miori announced her graduation from the group on January 19. After a stint under Stardust Promotion as a member of Power Age, Ichikawa became a research student in 2010 and full member of AKB48 in 2011. No details about Miori’s spring graduation have been released.
 
 

PALET
The little sister group of PASSPO☆ and Predia held their final live on December 28. The group had been in existence since 2012 when the starting lineup were candidates for a second generation of PASSPO☆ . No plans for the future of the 8 final lineup members have been released.
 
 

Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku
The Stardust Promotion group suffered the devastating and unexpected death of Matsuno Rina on February 8 last year. Rina’s loss remains one of the worst tragedies of the idol world. In August the group was dealt another blow as Hirota Aika announced her graduation on August 31 last year. Aika, 18 at the time of her announcement, stated that she wanted to live her teenage years without regret. Hirota’s final performance with Ebichu took place on January 3 at Nippon Budokan.
 
 

Yumemiru Adolescence
After the unexpected graduation of Yamada Akari due to “serious violations of the rules of the group activities” on March 31, the group of Pichi Lemon models was left as a four-piece group. In August last year, YumeAdo began accepting applications for a new generation of girls. On Christmas Day, the group introduced 3 new members: Minase Yuki, Yamashita Saya, and Yamaguchi Hanon. As of writing, Yumemiru Adolescence were promoting their “ULTRA YUMELIVE! 2018” on February 12 and have not announced a new single.




Oui! Oui! ANGERME to perform in Paris, France!

ANGERME

 

ANGERME finally gets off the ground with an upcoming trip to the City of Lights! The second-most senior group in Hello! Project make their overseas debut on June 3, 2018 at La Cigale in Paris, France. The group led by Wada Ayaka made their announcement at the January 28, 2018 during the Hello! Project 20th Anniversary!! Hello! Project 2018 WINTER ~FULL SCORE~ day concert.

The members of ANGERME long expressed their interest in performing overseas; sub-leader Nakanishi Kana and member Takeuchi Akari even went so far as to even mention their passports in an interview last year. Paris is actually the perfect place for the group to begin their international campaign: let’s not forget that Nakanishi Kana named the group as a portmanteau of the French words for angel (ange) and tear (larme). With their performance, ANGERME join Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, °C-ute, Buono, and Juice=Juice on the list of Hello! Project acts who have performed in Paris.

 

ANGERME (アンジュルム) started as S/mileage (スマイレージ) in 2009. Comprised of Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka, Fukuda Kanon, and Ogawa Saki, the group made its major debut in 2010 and went on to win the Japan Record Awards 2010 “Best New Artist” award. In late 2014, the group changed its name to ANGERME to signify a change in the group’s image. The current lineup consists of leader Wada Ayaka, sub-leaders Nakanishi Kana and Takeuchi Akari, Katsuta Rina, Murota Mizuki, Sasaki Rikako, Kamikokuryo Moe, Kasahara Momona, Funaki Musubu, and Kawamura Ayano.

ANGERME -Nakenai ze! Kyoukan Sagi / Uraharabaa / Kimi dake ja nai sa… friends ~Acoustic Version~ (25th Single)

New PV Alert: ANGERME – It’s not just you … friends (Acoustic Version)

0
0

A quieter, more emotional version of ANGERME’s “Kimi dake janai sa … friends” makes its second entrance in the New PV Alerts. Originally finding a home on the group’s digital single “Manner Mode / Kisokutadashiku Utsukushiku / Kimi Dake ja nai sa…friends” from last year, this song sees new life in a proper release as a showcase for the evolved vocal strength of the group. New members Kawamura Ayano and (especially) Funaki Musubu add strength to the already formidable group of vocalists the group has amassed since its rebirth. Especially in the final chorus, you can hear how well the group works together to build harmony. The simplicity of the arrangement with its acoustic guitar harmonics and subtle cajon rhythm tracks add emotional value to the song, and when the bass tones arrive with the strings, “Kimi dake janai sa .. friends” should leave you breathless with its beauty. Perhaps the song won’t burn down the building like other firestarters from the group, but ANGERME holds its torch high. “Nakenai ze … Kyoukan Sagi / Uraha=Lover / Kimi dake ja nai sa… friends (2018 Acoustic Version)” goes on sale May 9, 2018.

New PV Alert: ANGERME – I Can’t Cry … The Fraud of Empathy

ANGERME – I Can’t Cry … The Fraud of Empathy

ANGERME crank up the volume substantially with their new promotional video for the A-side track “Nakenai ze … kyoukan sagi”. Sporting plastic, midriff-baring, leg flaunting outfits, the group dance their way onto a mirrored checker floor. The yellow piping on black plastic gives ANGERME a vaguely futuristic look that’s furthered by the glowing accents that illuminate when the lights turn off. An energetic dance gets punctuated by synchronized arm movements, floor routines, and lots of hair-o-graphy. As you might expect from the description, “Nakenai ze … kyoukan sagi” plays a synthesized dance groove at 10+ energy levels. ANGERME also seem to be playing up the sex-appeal a bit more with these outfits- the playful glances at the camera and bare limbs definitely suggest this more the cute routine that had been a mainstay of the group (especially in their former incarnation). ANGERME definitely make their case in their play for the top spot in the Hello! Project stable, and we’re all listening. “Nakenai ze … Kyoukan Sagi / Uraha=Lover / Kimi dake ja nai sa… friends (2018 Acoustic Version)” goes on sale May 9, 2018.

New PV Alert: ANGERME – Uraha=Lover

0
0

Scaling into the frames in shades in pink and blue, ANGERME’s latest plea for love plays on multiple dimensions. The main set is bisected with the blue ANGERME and pink ANGERME girls taking sides and turning up the appeal: at some point, Wada Ayaka’s set became (arguably) the best looking group in the Projects. As the girls are thrown through the frames, each one looks more attractive than the previous. “Uraha=Lover heavily stylizes its shots with the same basic set shot at different angles and literally framed to look unique. The bell accented intro contrasts an upbeat, melancholy-tinged melody arranged with the Hello! Project house style of electronics with the electric guitar chugging through the song. On a personal note, of the three songs on this latest single, the melody for “Uraha-Lover” agrees with me the most. Let’s see if ANGERME will play it strong on its release. “Nakenai ze … Kyoukan Sagi / Uraha=Lover / Kimi dake ja nai sa… friends (2018 Acoustic Version)” goes on sale May 9, 2018.

New PV Alert: Hello! Project All Stars – YEAH YEAH YEAH

0
0

The 20th anniversary of Hello! Project ushers in the latest iteration of a company wide “sub-group” in the form of the Hello! Project All Stars and their corresponding promotional video “YEAH YEAH YEAH”. H!P leader Wada Ayaka starts us off with a well-deserved spotlight as she takes her place in the initial formation. With 55 girls participating in this single, I can imagine how overwhelming this must be to some. I can see you drawn to the dance break of “YEAH YEAH YEAH” with the best of the girls getting some well-deserved spotlight. As is only fitting, this lead track from the upcoming triple A-side comes from the pen of Tsunku who imbibes the song with characteristic self-doubt that leads to enlightenment. “YEAH YEAH YEAH” is not the bombastic song that many were probably expecting with its walking tempo and meandering melodies that relish in taking modal left turns that delay the inevitable resolutions. As much as it’s a celebration of 20 years of H!P, “YEAH YEAH YEAH” is also the celebration of youth and a youthful mindset that Tsunku has been cultivating for the life of the project. “YEAH YEAH YEAH / Akogare no Stress-free / Hana, Takenawa no Toki” arrives in stores on September 26, 2018.

New PV Alert: Hello! Project All Stars – The longing “Stress-free”

0
0

The second of three Hello! Project 20th Anniversary songs materializes on YouTube today with the release of the promotional video for “Akogare no Stress-free”. Shot with an endless supply of solo close-ups, the girls of Hello! Project put on their latest release outfits for a shuffling of the deck style PV. The members of Morning Musume ’18, ANGERME, Juice=Juice, Country Girls, Kobushi Factory, Tsubaki Factory, “Ichioka Factory”, and “KuruMomo Factory” appear trapped in rectangles like we just pulled the Gacha Machine in Hello! Pro Tap. While there doesn’t seem to be too much finesse in the production of the PV, I suppose we should say that the task of creating a PV that features the 49 girls (I didn’t really count) is daunting. “Akogare no Stress-free” gets the girls singing over an instrumental that sounds part surf and part 60’s spy thriller. Like “Yeah Yeah Yeah” before it, this Tsunku song doesn’t deliver on the bombast that many were expecting for a 20th anniversary project. While that doesn’t particularly stop me from enjoying the project, many of us out there are wondering when the “boom” is going to drop. “YEAH YEAH YEAH / Akogare no Stress-free / Hana, Takenawa no Toki” arrives in stores on September 26, 2018.

New PV Alert: Hello! Project All Stars – Flowers, in the best moment.

0
0

Completing their promotional video cycle for the Hello! Project All Stars, the company releases to us the choral “Hana, Takenawa no Toki”. The girls of Hello! Project stand shoulder to shoulder to sing the multi-voiced “Flowers, in the best moment”. Like how sakura represents youth (as seen in every anime you’ve ever watched), the titular flowers are the girls themselves. And, if you’ve spent any time with the Project then you’ve seen plenty of the girls’ best moments. “Hana, Takenawa no Toki” is a cover version of Ogura Kei’s song written for the 2018 film Kita no Sakuramori. I’ll be frank: many of you will probably find “Hana, Takenawa no Toki” sleep inducing. The piano accompaniment never gives way to more blood pumping arrangements, the choral work will remind you of Sunday mornings, and the camera probably won’t stay on the static image of your favorite girl for more than one second. Hello! Project has a habit of trying to give us want we need rather than what we want, and what we need is moment to reflect before the next decade of Hello! Project begins. “YEAH YEAH YEAH / Akogare no Stress-free / Hana, Takenawa no Toki” arrives in stores on September 26, 2018.

New PV Alert: ANGERME – Every man to his taste. (Like it!)

0
0

Breaking out of the Hello! Project soundstage, ANGERME take their latest promotional video to an outdoor courtyard for a change. Lending the group some extra help, HYADAIN composes a fun disco groove for the girls. Decked in reds and blacks for “Every man to his taste. (Like it!)”, ANGERME’s formidable lineup pose on a textured wall for closeups and dance solo in what appears to be the backstage of their usual stages. Like the title implies, Wada Ayaka’s girls show their individual flavors for “Tade ku mushi mo Like it!”. Along the way, the group get to act playful for the camera in their white t-shirt and denim outfits for some extra character development. Playful and fun, ANGERME continue to make a case for the baddest gaps in the Projects. “Tade Ku Mushi mo Like it! /46 Okunen LOVE “, the 25th single from ANGERME, arrives in stores on October 31, 2018.
