Okay! Musume Digest #39

D-D-D-DIGEST DIGEST CELEBRATION! D-D-D-DIGEST TAIMU!!! Chikyuu!

This week Digest-wise, we have NEWS!!! Plenty of it, actually, including: Peaberry! Miyamoto Karin! Niigaki Risa and Mitsui Aika in a new stage play! Mano Erina acts outside of H!P! Too many video's to count! Up Up Girls goodness, and so much more! Ready to get your Digest on?

In other news this week, I actually updated my Vlog channel, and if I was totally vain (which I am, but ignore this and pretend I am a modest young thiiing) I would actually post it as my video of the week, but I'm not (HAHAHA) and I want to spare you my stupidity. Also, IRN BRU!!! And a week without college, so I'm sleeping a loooot!

Okies, Video time! What shall I give you this week?

Video of the Week

CROSS by Yonekura Chihiro

So here's something you may or may not know about me, and that is this: I love Fushigi Yugi. I have the full collection of the manga series (not Genbu Kaiden, that's not finished yet, and I still need to collect it...) and I deeply loved the Anime and storyy line. At some point in my Anime-obsessed life, I went searching for video's to do with Fushigi Yugi, and this song, CROSS, came up. At the time I had no idea what it was called or who it was by until recently, I did some digging and found the original version, whereas before I just had the short ED version from the game, and came to know it as 'The Ending Song'. Of course I found it, and recently I have been playing it a lot. It's an amazing song, Chihiro is an amazing singer and there is so much passion, devotion and love in this song from the singer and also from my past, I guess. It's a song which, to me, represents my past. I listened to the short version countless times, and now the full version brings back memories of reading Fushigi Yugi, watching it, enjoying being a teenager etc... it's a beautiful song and I adore it. I actually wish I had the game...

I swear this is turning into Song of the Week, but whatever...

Picture of the Week

Oh Mano, why ever did you leave your Piano...? However, I do like you on the bed, so it's okay said the Wota...

This week's image is of the delicious and darling Mano Erina, soon-to-be Graduate of Hello! Project. I won't be posting a poll as I want to just have a picture to do with Mano... this week and next week, obviously. So please, enjoy her delicious glory!

... ONTO THE NEWS!!!

NEWS OF THE WEEK

Starting off the week of news, how about a performance of Help me!! with a guest appearance from someone named SHELLY, eh?

The performance has been out for a good two weeks now, but I've only recently found it and boy, this is one piece of humorous footage, and believe it or not, a pretty stellar performance from Morning Musume.

Surprisingly enough, Riho actually sounds pretty damn good (until you get to some group parts where her voice flat out dies) and she actually does not sound like a dying cat this time around. I was surprised how decent she sounded. Still bad, but better than ever! Is her voice on the road to recovery/finishing breaking in the new vocal cords? Who knows, all I know is that for once in a long while, she sounds pretty freakin' good!

No one can steal the shine from Reina though. You go gurlfriiiiiend!

It has been announced that there will be a C-ute ~Shinsei Naru Pentagram~ live Photo book released on March 9th, 2013.

Live photo books are really becoming the norm with Hello! Project right now, so this announcement is really no surprise! Hopefully everyone who can will reserve a copy because it is sure to be fantastic!

Peaberry will hold a handshake event at Tower Records on February 28th 2013 to promote their solo single release.

And the Cabbage Patch Midgets continue to dominate...

Oh wait, one of them actually has gorgeous legs that are not those of a midget.

I approve of all except that Green one... Yeah, her smile ruined it for me.

Miyamoto Karin's 'Kopink' will hold a live event on March 2nd 2013. This will also be Karin's graduation from the PINK!SS program.

I'm surprised that there will be an event held, however it's a great way for fans to hear and see Karin perform live and to support her as well as to congratulate her on her graduation from Kopink. The graduation itself is a surprise, however it seems reasonable especially since Karin is one of the busier Trainee's, especially now that she may be debuting...

Congrats to Karin on the event, and also good luck to her! Hopefully her fans will be able to make it!

Miyamoto Karin's 'Kopink' will release a mini-album including a remixed version of Carina Notte. The mini album will go on sale on March 20th 2013.

Great news for all fans of Karin! Hopefully you can all reserve a copy (I know you love her!) and support Karin and her future endeavours outside of Kopink!

It has been announced that Ogawa Makoto, Niigaki Risa and Mitsui Aika will act in the Tokugawa15 stage play running from March 20th until March 24th, 2013. Niigaki and Mitsui will be guests in the stage play.

When I saw the news I was really surprised but also extremely happy that the girls would all be acting together, and whilst Gaki and Aika's roles may only be small parts (speculation for now) it seems that Makoto will play one of the bigger characters within the cast.

Hopefully fans can book tickets and go see the girls in action!

It was announced that ZONE vocalist MIYU has been fired from her agency for misconduct on February 13th 2013.

“The reason of the dismissal is that “Nagase Miyu’s conspicuous immoral conduct and frequent non-fulfillment of duties caused the fans and the parties concerned great trouble in addition to extensive damage to our company. Although we tried for guidance and persuasion to her in a repetitive manner and unfortunately there was no improvement in sight. Thus, we figured that it was difficult to continue to keep the exclusive contract with Nagase Miyu, and we have concluded to dissolve the exclusive contract with her as of today.” - Tokyohive

I don't follow ZONE, but I saw the news and I was somewhat shocked... despite not knowing about the group at all. Anyway, this is a pretty shocking announcement, but I guess it had to happen if Miyu...

Former AKB48 trainee Eri Takamatsu has released her AV debut under the stage name Risa Tachibana.

Oh cool, you go girl... And I really can not say much more than that. I have no problem with a person debuting in the AV industry, though some people feel otherwise. Well, whatever she wants to do I guess.

Japan will release its first Pocchari girls fashion magazine on March 21st 2013. The magazine will be titled La farfa. Comedian Naomi Watanabe will be the first cover girl of the magazine.

When I saw the news I was extremely delighted, because in general we see quite cute, skinny girls in Japanese media, so to see a magazine catering to girls who are a little chubbier is amazing news and allows us to see that not all Japanese girls are as skinny as the Idols we see on TV. I am happy about this, I really am!

Details regarding the major debut of HKT48 have been released! The single will release on March 20th 2013 and will be titled Suki! Suki! Skip!. The choreography will include skipping moves and is said to be a power pop tune. The center position will be taken by 2nd Generation Kenkyuusei member Tashima Meru. There will be three versions of the single available, Type A, B and C.

"It’s a really wonderful song that you can enjoy with everybody! It also perks you up! All of us act natural in the MV as you can see the members’ innocent smiles. So I want many people to watch the MV.” - Tashima Meru (2nd Generation Kenkyuusei) 

“‘Suki! Suki! Skip!’ is a quite fun song which brings you a smile and energy! There are steps like skipping in the choreography, so it would be fun to pay attention to it!!” - Kodama Haruka (Team H) 

“Since it’s a cheerful and bright song, it matches well with HKT48! The more you listen to it, the song makes you feel like humming, so I want people to listen to it before they go off to work or school. The choreography is interesting too, so I want everybody to enjoy the performances as well.” - Miyawaki Sakura (Team H)

Track List:

01. Suki! Suki! Skip!
02. Onegai Valentine
03. Type-A/B/C coupling track
04. Suki! Suki! Skip! (Inst.)
05. Onegai Valentine (Inst.)
06. Type-A/B/C coupling track (Inst.)

DVD Track List:

01. Suki! Suki! Skip! (Music Video)
02. Type-A/B coupling track (Music Video)
03. Special video A/B/C/D (C+D Type C only)

I'm surprised that for the center of the single... it's a Kenkyuusei. Unless Aki-P is using her as a secret weapon cos, y'know, Tashima Meru was a finalist for Morning Musume. Also, I liked her a little. Then again Aki-P is a sneaky bastard...

Oh, and the single sounds cute but I am really expecting something quite, erm... Bland, Uninspiring, generic, shit... Something like most of AKB48's discography...

Yurp.

AKB48 member Nito Moeno has announced her graduation from the group during Team A's February 14th Theatre performance. She will graduate on April 28th 2013, her 5th year Anniversary as a member of the super group.

“Since I turned 20, I’ve started thinking about myself more frequently than before. 

I’ve been uneasy about what exactly I will engage in in this entertainment business. 

For the sake of my own development, to improve various skills, I would like to challenge various things after my graduation." - Nito Moeno (Arama)

And so the graduations continue... sigh...

The short MV to YuiKaori's up-coming single PV, Shiny Blue, has been revealed. Please check it out and support YuiKaori!

When I started the short MV, I couldn't help but think 'This looks, sounds and feels like a true YuiKaori MV' because it truly does! he girls have a distinct sound and style, and Shiny Blue totally fits with that theme. It's cute and sweet, actually, and very bright and airy. I like the preview... now, it's just waiting for the actual music video to come out... sigh...

Orange Caramel have released the short MV to Cookies, Cream & Mint from their up-coming Japanese album, which will be released on March 13th 2013. Please take a look and enjoy!

I'm not a fan of the song, the clothes or the plaits... however I like the cute feel of the video and the backdrop, too. The style is nice to watch, but the song and video are slow, dull and boring in my opinion. Oh well, it has a cute retro feeling.

Enjoy!

On February 16th 2013, Fuji TV announced that Maeda Atsuko will be appearing in their up-coming drama Kasuka na Kanojo, which will also star SMAP's Katori Shingo. The drama will be a romantic comedy set in Junior High school and tells the story of a teacher who can sense ghosts.

UFP have revealed a new youtube channel called UF Licks, featuring SATOYAMA Soloist member Tazaki Asahi and OG MoMusu member Yasuda Kei as the hosts. The first guests on the show is Tanaka Reina's band LoVendoЯ.

The show seems to be more about updates and introducing songs or bands through the channel. UFP seem to be doing a lot in order to promote groups right now through youtube, and I like the amount of channels they are making. This show is also a great introduction to Reina's band LoVendoЯ as it shows the skills of the girls and lets us look at how talented they really are.
