Hello! Project Revival Shuffle Units “Compilation Single A & B” Announced

Two Hello! Project shuffle unit “singles” titled Compilation Single A & B (tentative titles) have been announced.

The first single, Compilation Single A, will feature Tanpopo #, Pucchimoni V, and Shin Mini Moni and it will come in two versions – Regular (CD) and Limited (CD + DVD). The second single, Compilation Single B, will also come in Regular (CD) and Limited (CD + DVD) versions and it will feature High-King, ZYX-a, Aa!, and Zoku Biyuuden.

Each “single” will feature new songs, instrumentals, as well as a bonus track. The new songs will be one for each group, although it isn’t clear whether the bonus track will feature only one group or all of them (most likely all of them).

It’s great that we are getting more shuffle unit releases since the only release they have had was on the Pucchi Best 10 album, and even then it only featured 5 groups out of the current 7 shuffle groups (Zoku Biyuuden and ZYX-a didn’t get a release).

The mention of new songs as well as bonus tracks is interesting since it might mean completely new songs and if that is the case there is the slight possibility of there being some PVs for the songs, especially with the DVD that will be included with the Limited versions, which would be great since we have only had a chance to see them perform in concerts.

Even though we don’t have that much information about this new release it will be interesting to see the tracklist as well as the covers, and if we are lucky we might get a chance to see some PVs on the DVD included with the Limited versions (although there is a chance that it only has concert performances or other extras).

This “single” hasn’t been officially confirmed but hopefully it is since I would really like to hear more songs from the shuffle groups, as well as a unique shuffle release.

The release date is set for 6/30.

It’s great to finally get a confirmation of the dates for the DVDs since I was somewhat curious as to how they were going to release the concerts, and I’m glad to see that we will be getting two separate DVDs, with the first release being the Shuffle Deeto DVD.

Hopefully we get covers and a confirmed setlist for the DVD sometime soon (most likely near the end of February or the start of March).

The release date is set for 3/31.

The setlist for Hello! Project’s 2010 Winter Concert Tour Kachou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~ has been released.

For the most part the setlist looks fantastic since every group gets a chance to perform a few songs from their respective groups, but we also get a chance to see a random set of girls perform other shuffle songs such as BE ALL RIGHT! and Suki Sugite Baka Mitai.

I’m particularly interested in the 15th track LOVE LIKE CRAZY since it features 3 of the best dancers from H!P: Ai-chan, Kame and Shimizu and also in the 14th track Suki Sugite Baka Mitai since it’s one of my favorite H!P songs.

It seems that most groups got a chance to perform two songs before they moved on to another song, which is great news since it means that all of the members got plenty of time to shine.

The fans at the concert also got a chance to listen to Guardians 4’s new song GOING ON! which is great news for us since we will probably also get a chance to hear the song when the concert rip is released.

Overall I’m satisfied with the setlist since it features some of the best shuffle songs and it also gives everyone a chance to appear for at least two songs.

The rest of the tour dates for ~Shuffle Deeto~ are:

• 1/5 Nakano Sun Plaza (19:00)
• 1/6 Nakano Sun Plaza (19:00)
• 1/7 Nakano Sun Plaza (19:00)
• 1/8 Nakano Sun Plaza (19:00)
• 1/17 Osaka Kouseinen Kinkaikan (15:00 & 18:30)
• 1/24 Nagoya Shimin Kaikan (15:00 & 18:30)

The full tracklist for Hello! Project’s Pucchi Best 10 album has been released. The new tracklist features new songs for most of the shuffle groups, including High-King and Shin Minimoni.

The two new songs from Shin Minimoni (Pen Pen Kyoudai) and High King (DESTINY LOVE) sound like they fit the image of their respective groups perfectly, especially Shin Minimoni’s. The only shuffle group that is missing a song is ZYX-a, which is most likely due to the graduation of two of their members (Kusumi and Erika).

Overall the tracklist looks great since it includes something for everyone because of the variety of songs included (Elder Club, Hello! Project, Hello! Pro Egg, etc).

The release date is set for 12/2.

Three releases today, a DVD of H!P’s latest concert, a DVD of Mano Erina’s drama and the Single V for Morning Musume’s 41st single:

Hello! Project 2009 Kakumei Gannen ~Hello! Chanpuru~: Hello! Project’s new concert tour featuring Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, Mano Erina, S/mileage, Ice Creamusume and the new shuffle groups Aa!, High-King, Pucchimoni V, Tanpopo #, Zoku Biyuuden, Shin Minimoni and ZYX-Alpha.

The concert consists mainly of the many groups performing their latest singles, for example Berryz Koubou singing “Seishun Bus Guide” and C-ute singing “EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!”. Since the highlights of the concert were the new songs of the shuffle groups I will concentrate on them more.

This concert was the first performance of the three new shuffle songs: “Pira! Otome no Negai” （Pucchimoni V),” Umbrella” （Tanpopo #), and “Yume to Genjitsu” (Aa!）. “Yume to Genjistu” has a familiar Aa! sound to it, so fans of the group won’t be disappointed. Saho Akari did an incredible job of performing as part of Aa! and I hope we get to see another performance of the song on the next H!P tour.

“Umbrella”, like “Yume to Genjitsu”, has the group feeling to it since it is somewhat of an upbeat ballad. Kamei, Kumai, Mitsui and Chisato did a great job of singing the songs, and they really keep the spirit of Tanpopo alive with the song.

The new Pucchimoni V song “Pira! Otome no Negai” was one of the best songs I heard from the shuffle groups, and I have to admit that even though the song sounds extremely hard to perform well Mano and Nakajima did an excellent job (Maimai was sick on the last day and wasn’t present). The dance is active and the song is upbeat and easy to remember (The “Para-Para-Pi” and the “Para-Para-Po’s” are still stuck in my head), and the performance stands out among the others because of that.

Overall I was impressed with the amount of groups that performed, there is certainly something there for all fans since their was a mix of upbeat happy songs and slow ballads which help to make the concert stand out. Even though the cover isn’t the best I recommend the DVD for anyone who can get it since the performances are great and the girls gave it their best.

Mano Erina – Koisuru Seiza Web Drama (DVD): Mano Erina’s DVD for her internet drama which features small stories about a girl (usually different in each episode) played by Mano in some sort of love situation (basically a normal drama).

I have only seen one episode of the series and even though my view of the drama isn’t that complete I have to admit that the series turned out great. Mano is a great actress and even though the stories are short she manages to give the viewer an incredible performance.

Overall a great start for Mano to practice her acting, and highly recommendable to Mano fans who wish to see her act.

Morning Musume – Kimagure Princess (Single V): Morning Musume’s Single V for their 41st single “Kimagure Princess”. The Single V features the normal PV, a “Green Dance” Ver and the Making Of (since I haven’t seen the Making Of I won’t review it since I don’t have a good idea of what is in it).

The normal PV is among the best made I have seen in a while, mostly because of the different shots and the location which fit the song’s mood. All of the members who usually don’t appear that much (Lin Lin, Jun Jun, and Mitsui) get more chances to be on screen, and Kamei got almost as much time as Ai-chan which is great news for her fans.

The location of the PV is in a church called “La Foresta di Magnifica” which is dimly lit and has the girls dancing in the middle of a hallway. Most of the close-up’s feature the girls in front of a silk fabric which fits the feeling of the song well, and for the most part the shots fit in well with the song (the only one that didn’t was the one where the girls drew a circle of fire around themselves). For the most part the PV was great because it features decent screen time for all of the girls and great shots.

Morning Musume – Kimagure Princess (Green Dance version)

The “Green Dance” version is basically the girls dancing individually in front of a green screen where the shots are rapidly changed so as to make the girls seem like they are dancing the same moves. For the most part the PV was great since it lets us see the entire dance with only one girl at a time, and I really liked the way they tried to make the girls look like they were dancing the same way, the main word being tried because the girls dance on opposite sides on some parts and it doesn’t match that well with some parts (Sayu’s bunny hop to the center around 2:26 was really cute but sort of distracted from the center shots).

Overall the Single V turned out great, it includes the normal PV which is fantastic on its own and it also includes a “Green Dance” version and a Making Of which make for a complete DVD for fans who liked the single. Even though the normal and the Green Dance versions of the PV might have their small faults (difference in choreography position when trying to make it look like they are dancing the same moves in the same place, somewhat bad fire effects, etc) the they turned out great and I highly recommend them to fans who liked the single.

The next release date is set for 11/11 with Berryz Koubou’s latest single “Ryuusei Boy/ Watashi no Mirai no Danna-Sama”, Abe Natsumi’s DVD for her latest tour and HANGRY&ANGRY’s latest album “Sadistic Dance”.

Hello! Project – Hello! Project Summer 2009 Kakumei Gannen ~Hello Chanpuru~ DVD Cover Released

The cover for Hello! Project’s Summer 2009 Kakumei Gannen ~Hello Chanpuru~ has been released on Neowing. It features Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, Mano Erina, the shuffle units, Buono, Guardians 4, S/mileage, and Ice Creamusume.

I have to admit that the cover doesn’t look that great, especially the yellow background which doesn’t match anything at all (the only thing that looks like it combines is the “Hello!” and the “ru” in “Chanpuru”). Ignoring the bad background I really like the pictures they used for the groups, and how they all managed to appear, including Ice Creamusume and S/mileage.

Hopefully they try harder next time, but for now I think they could have done a bit better.

The release date is set for 11/4.

Hello! Project 2010 Winter Concert Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~ Details Released

Some more information about Hello! Project’s 2010 Winter Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~ has been released (Info Source: Nayok-Kihara@H!O). Among the details the singer list has been revealed to include:

• High-King
• Aa!
• ZYX-α
• Tanpopo♯
• Zoku•Biyuuden
• PucchimoniⅤ
• Shin Minimoni。
• Buono!
• Guardians 4
• Hello! Pro Egg selection
• Other

This means that all of the shuffle groups will appear once again during the “Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~” concerts. The also interesting thing is at the end of the list, “Hoka” (or in English: Other), which means that there are other groups that will perform at the concerts but there is no information if they are the normal H!P groups such as Morning Musume, Berryz, or C-ute yet.

Original Scan (Click for Bigger Picture)

The dates have also been revealed although I am not sure if they are specifically for the Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~ concerts, or if they are additional dates for the two concerts. They include (Thanks to Murr for the Romaji):

• 1/5 (Nakano Sun Plaza) 中野サンプラザ 18:00-19:00
• 1/6 (Nakano Sun Plaza) 中野サンプラザ 18:00-19:00
• 1/7 (Nakano Sun Plaza) 中野サンプラザ 18:00-19:00
• 1/8 (Nakano Sun Plaza) 中野サンプラザ 18:00-19:00
• 1/17 (Osaka Kouseinen Kinkaikan) 大阪厚生年金会館　大ホール 14:00-15:00 and 17:30-18:30
• 1/24 (Nagoya Shimin Kaikan) 中京大学文化市民会館　オーロラホール 14:00-15:00 and 17:30-18:30

Until now it seems that they are having “Mobekimasu” during some time then switching to “Shuffle Deeto” which will be somewhat hard on some of the girls especially Buono who have a concert tour of their own from 12/19 – 12/28, since they have to practice for three different concerts in a short span of time and have virtually no rest days between them.

It will be interesting to see what ZYX-α will do without two members (Umeda Erika and Kusumi Koharu) since the song “Iku ZYX! FLY HIGH” has choreography in the beginning which needs 6 members (the spelling out of ZYX). Thanks Murr for the explanation (I forgot about the extra two members), so it seems that ZYX-a will still be able to do their song like always.

UFA might have a reason for doing two different concerts (perhaps the release of new shuffle group singles?), but we will have to wait and see what happens. I’m looking forward to these concerts, and hopefully we get to see who the “Other” groups/artists are soon.

Hello! Project 2010 Winter Concert Tour Titles Released

The titles for Hello! Project’s 2010 Winter Concert Tour have been revealed to be Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Mobekimasu~ and Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~. Apparently Tsunku got “Mobekimasu” from the first letters of the unit’s name:

• Mo from Morning Musume
• Be from Berryz Koubou
• Ki from C-ute (the kanji for C-ute is romanized as Kyuuto)
• Ma from Mano Erina
• Su from S/mileage

So that means that “Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Mobekimasu~ will feature those groups. On the other hand the “Uta Chou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~” concert tour will feature the new shuffle groups such as High King, Tanpopo#, Buono, etc.

I am not completely sure if the concerts are separate or if they are just names but I will update when I find out.

I’m glad to see that they are still keeping the shuffle units alive, and hopefully we can get new releases from all of the shuffle units before the concert tour starts. The idea of having two titles seems to be a good one (a great way to mix things up) so hopefully it turns out well.

The winter concert tour starts on 1/2/2010 (January 2, 2010)

The setlist for the Hello! Project Concert 2009 Summer Kakumei Gannen ~Hello! Chanpuru~ has been revealed. Just as promised by Tsunku there are some new songs for the new groups:

• Aa! – Yume to Genjitsu
• Pucchimoni V – Pira! Otome no Onegai
• Tanpopo # – Umbrella

The new songs sound interesting, and hopefully we will be able to get a chance to hear them soon (most likely on concert rips). It’s also interesting that the new groups are performing the old songs, although it would have been nice to hear Pucchimoni V and ZYX-α’s new songs though.

All of the groups -new and old- got to perform songs, for example Morning Musume performing two of their latest singles, Berryz Koubou performing “Seishun Bus Guide”, and C-ute performing “Shochuu Omimai Moshiagemasu”, even Mano got to perform her latest single “Sekai wa Summer Party”.

The concert tour doesn’t end until early August, so if you have a chance to go it would be a great opportunity since it’s the first concert tour for the new groups and you would get a chance to hear the latest singles by every main group in H!P.

This is the afternoon setlist for one day, there might be some small differences for some other performances (not likely), but I will update if there are any.

Apparently this is the final singer list for Chanpuru ~Happy Marriage Song Cover Shuu~. I was kind of surprised that Aa! (Natsuyaki Miyabi, Suzuki Airi, Saho Akari) doesn’t have Reina, she is an original member of the group but she was replaced with Saho for some reason.

Zoku Biyuuden (Michishige Sayumi, Junjun, and Risako): I was expecting Sayu to be in the group, but I never thought Risako would be in it, it might be interesting to see what image they go for. Tanpopo #, (Kami Eri, Mitsui Aika, Kumai Yurina, Okai Chisato): all of the members have the “井” Kanji in their name (most likely that is where they got the #).

ZYX-α (Niigaki, Kusumi,Momoko, Chinami, Maasa, Umeda Erika, Wada Ayaka, Ogawa Saki): has some of the original members plus Niigaki and Koharu who are full of energy, it’s good that they included 2 senpai’s, 4 H!P Kids, and 2 Eggs since it has a sort of variety.

Pucchi Moni V (Nakajima, Hagiwara, Mano): I didn’t expect Nakajima in the group, but hopefully they do good. And Shin Minimoni (Linlin, Fukuda, Takeuchi, Miyamoto): there were rumors going around of Takeuchi and Miyamoto being in the group, but I would like to see how this might turn out, since Takeuchi and Miyamoto are among the youngest eggs, but so far it seems like a good combination.

Other than that High King has all of it’s original members and the rest are just members singing together with no group name or solo. The absence of original members is probably because each member got into one group only, so I guess Tsunku is probably planning on making this semi-permanent for some time, although this is only a guess.

The album is set for release on 7/15.

EDIT 7/11: The list has been confirmed by photos of the booklet, High King has all of it’s original members, and everyone in the album is in only one group, Tsunku is probably planning on keeping them for a bit more (possibility):

Aa! (Natsuyaki Miyabi, Suzuki Airi, Saho Akari)

Tanpopo # (Mitsui Aika, Okai Chisato, Kamei Eri, Kumai Yurina)

ZYX-α (Niigaki Risa, Kusumi Koharu, Tsugunaga Momoko, Sudou Maasa, Tokunaga Chinami, Umeda Erika, Wada Ayaka, Ogawa Saki)

Zoku Biyuuden (Junjun, Sugaya Risako, Michishige Sayumi)

Shin Minimoni (Linlin, Fukuda Kanon, Takeuchi Akari, Miyamoto Karin)

Pucchimoni V (Mano Erina, Nakajima Saki, Hagiwara Mai)
