New S/mileage Profile Pictures For “Uchouten LOVE”

4 07 2011

S/mileage’s official page on H!P’s site has been updated with new profile pictures for their 6th single Uchouten LOVE.

The outfits are really one of the best I have seen recently from S/mileage since they’re not “costumes” having the same theme and same colors, but have a similar style which are their signature short skirts with colored tops and many black and colored accessories that add a punch to each girl’s style.


Ayaka has a grey skirt with black ruffles with a pattern of grey rounds on it, and her color is green with the flashy tank top turned around itself on the side with a ribbon where we can see  a blue top underneath, and she’s wearing a black bow headband along with a long blue and pink necklace.

 

 

Yuuka’s color is yellow with a bright top that flows on her shoulders with a lipstick drawn and written on it, and she has a pink top underneath that matches the ribbon in her hair, along with a white skirt with black patterns. Her necklace is really simple and she doesn’t have as many accessories as Ayaka but still looks great.

 


Kanon’s color is bright pink, nearly a soft red with a shirt that has many confetti-like patterns in blue and yellow complemented by a yellow top underneath and a white skirt with black stars and some badges on her shirt along with a simple long necklace and a white star in her hair which is bang-free.



Saki has a more uniform style thanks to her cute soft pink top that has an inscription in black matching the skirt which is mostly black and grey at the same time. She has a more colored top underneath with a pink bow tied in her hair held in a ponytail.

 

Overall, I have to say that even though we only got the close-up shots for the members so far, I really like the outfits since they have a similar theme without being identical costumes, and they even matched everyone’s hair by curling it in some kind of way.

Hopefully a PV preview will be out soon to see if any other outfits are used and to see those ones worn on the girls in action!

The release date is set for 8/6.

Berryz Koubou’s 777 Live To Be Streamed On Nico Nico Douga

4 07 2011

According to the official site, Berryz Koubou’s special live at Yokohama BLITZ in July titled Berry Koubou Tanabata Special Live ★777 will be streamed on Nico Nico Douga.

Back in June we got the news that there would be a special live and I’m glad to see that fans who can’t attend will be able to check it out, and while I’m not sure if a Nico Nico Douga account is required to watch the stream (most likely yes) it will most likely be an amazing concert for fans to enjoy.

H!P has been using more and more streaming sites for their special concerts and I’m really happy to see that they do since anyone can check out the concert if they can’t make it, and since this is a special event for the 7 members we will be able to check out a great concert featuring their best singles.

I would have preferred for the stream to be on Youtube since the C-ute concert that aired a few weeks ago turned out pretty good since it aired in incredible quality and it even had chat (which I didn’t use but it was nice to have), but nonetheless I’m still glad to see that they will stream it.

Like I mentioned before I’m not sure if an account is needed but I would recommend Berryz fans get one just in case so they can enjoy the concert without worrying about that, and while there are about 2 days left until it should be plenty of time for fans to prepare.

The stream will start at 18:30 (JST) but the concert won’t start until (19:00), but hopefully everyone who can check it out does since it will be an amazing concert.

The concert will stream on 7/7 at 18:30 (JST) with “doors” opening at 18:20 (JST).

The DVD tracklist for C-ute and S/mileage’s ℃-ute & S/mileage Premium Live 2011 Haru ~℃ & S Collaboration Dai Sakusen~ has been released.

There’s not much difference from the concert tracklist but they did include special footage from the noon concert which is a nice addition. I’m kind of disappointed that they didn’t include more duets (results from the quiz) but hopefully they’ll be included on the blu ray version and that way fans that didn’t attend can see what the duets were like. Regardless of that I don’t think I’ve listened to Shooting Star before so I look forward to seeing it performed in the duet.

The performance I’m looking most forward to on here is the “Dance Battle Medly”. I’m not sure how they’ll be dancing to LALALA Shiawase no uta since there’s not much to that dance but I think the performance will be quite interesting one.

Overall I think the setlist and the concert as a whole is an awesome one since it introduces fans to the both groups, before this concert I didn’t pay too much attention to S/mileage and C-ute but this joint concert is really putting them on my “watch list”. Hopefully everyone can reserve a copy when it releases.

The DVD will be released on 7/13.

Rika Ishikawa & Okai Chisato- Official Site Opened For “Tokusou Shirei! Aichi Police”

4 07 2011

The official website for Rika Ishikawa and Okai Chisato’s mini drama titled “Tokusou Shirei! Aichi Police” has been opened.

There’s not much right now on the website, except a photo of Rika, Chisato, another co-star and a doll which is probably part of the show. I believe a summary is available but I can’t translate it so I can’t tell you what the drama is about. However judging from the title and outfits it’s most likely Rika, Chisato and the doll solving a crime/catching a criminal which I’m assuming is the 3rd person in the photo there. The doll reminds me of a comedy for some reason so hopefully there’s some funny moments in there.

The episodes are all 4 minutes long and will air every week starting 7/4
