There’s no surprise to the tracklist since they used the same one for the entire tour and since H!P has been doing the multiple setlist thing seeing Dream Morning Musume with one solid setlist is quite a relief because I don’t have to worry about missing anything.

The cover features the members in a white cheetah print outfit with a red-orange-pink cyber background. I’m a bit surprised that the outfits used weren’t more glittery/shiny since in most photos of Dream Morning Musume they’re using something that sparkles. Regardless of that though the outfits and cover is nice.

Also so far the bluray version of this release features the same setlist but as of now the cover hasn’t been released yet, though I’m assuming it’s going to be the same. Hopefully we’ll get a confirmation on that soon.

Overall this is a great release and hopefully everyone supports them by reserving a copy.

The DVD is set to release on 9/14.

Dream Morning Musume Concert Tour 2011 Spring PB Cover Released

The cover for the PB release of Dream Morning Musume’s Concert Tour 2011 Haru no Mai ~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~ has been released.

I was a bit surprised to see that the cover for the PB release is a bit similar to the one Momusu will have since apart from the info and the color of the bottom bar they have the exact same layout (most likely because BLT seems to overuse the layout with all of it’s releases): black bar at the top, the color of the letters are the same as the Momusu PB, a bar on the bottom with info about the content, as well as a vertical picture of the concert, but despite that it’s still a great cover.

We get to see all 10 members of Dream Morning Musume posing and singing while in concert, and while the picture could have been a bit better I was impressed with the energy coming from some of the members, mainly Rika, Koha, Yuko, as well as Yaguchi, and while we haven’t seen any previews it seems like this PB will be amazing since the bottom right picture does a good job of showing of the intensity of the event.

We should get previews sometime soon, or if not then there will most likely be a few around the beginning of August, but hopefully fans reserve their copy of the PB since it’s the perfect way to enjoy the concert fully.

The release date is set for 8/3.

Dream Morning Musume Invited To Perform At FNS “Uta no Summer Matsuri 2011”

Dream Morning Musume are among the list of those invited to perform at FNS Uta no Summer Matsuri 2011.

Other artists scheduled for that event are Kara, AKB48, SPEED, SMAP, and miya, as well as many others for a total of 50 artists/groups.

Dream Morning Musume has had quite a lot of promotion lately (for example they will be at the 43rd Omoide no Melody event on 8/13 as well), and I’m glad to see that they have another performance planned since it gives fans a chance to enjoy another performance of this talented group, and with a large group of other equally talented groups this seems like a very interesting event for fans to attend.

Most fans might be wondering why Morning Musume aren’t scheduled to perform and Dream Morning Musume is and there’s a simple answer for that: Momusu have two concert performances that day for H!P’s summer tour, which makes some sense since performing at this event wouldn’t leave them time to prepare and attend their concert (although there might be other reasons).

Despite that I hope fans attend the event to enjoy performances by Dream Morning Musume, although it seems that there are quite a lot of other groups appearing and they might only perform once.

Hopefully fans can go to support Dream Morning Musume.

The FNS Uta no Summer Matsuri event will be on 8/6.

Dream Morning Musume- “Haru no Mai ~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~” Photo Book Announced

 Koharu mentioned on her blog that Dream Morning Musume will be releasing a photo book titled  “Haru no Mai ~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~”.

Most of the groups are releasing a photo book with their concert so I’m not too surprised for about this announcement. I am excited though because this photo book is released before the DVD is released. So we can get a preview of what the outfits were like and if they include photos of the performance we can somewhat imagine what the concert was like. I’m also hoping they include some group photos of each generation since it’s been awhile that we’ve seen 1st gen. If they do include that this will probably be a rare chance to see them together since they’re all busy with their own activities.

Hopefully all fans can reserve a copy.

The release is set for 8/3.

Dream Morning Musume- Guests on Hey! Hey! Hey!

Nakazawa Yuko mentioned on her blog that Dream Morning Musume will be on the show Hey! Hey! Hey!

Nakazawa didn’t mention if all the members were going to appear or if only a few of them would but I hope that it is everyone will be on the show since it’d be interesting to see the talk segment of everyone together.

Nakazawa also didn’t mention if they were performing on the show but if they do they’re most likely to perform a medley of Morning Musume classics (Renai Revolution, Love Machine etc.)

This will most likely be an interesting show so I highly recommend everyone to try and see it.

They will be featured on guests on 7/25.

“Dream Morning Musume Concert Tour 2011 Haru no Mai ~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~” DVD and Blu-ray Announced

Dream Morning Musume’s 1st concert titled “Dream Morning Musume Concert Tour 2011 Haru no Mai ~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~” has been announced on DVD and Blu-ray.

It’s no surprise that a dvd was announced for this since all concerts are released on dvd. Even though many of the songs performed at this concert were cover songs of Morning Musume I’m excited to see how they performed it, like Shabadoma for example. Nakazawa wasn’t a part of the group when that song was released and I’m curious how she’ll be included in that song also the line distribution will be interesting.

Also I wanted to mention that the Blu-ray and regular DVD are being released on the same day. Most of the time the regular DVD is released first and the Blu-ray follows afterwards. I hope that since both of them are released on the same day as each won’t be a problem and I hope that everyone reserves a copy to support Dream Morning Musume.

The release date is set for 9/14.

Rika Ishikawa Diagnosed With Jaw Inflammation And Cyst

Rika Ishikawa has been diagnosed with jaw inflammation and cyst.

She was feeling ill and was examined by a doctor, which reported that there was pain on the upper right side of her jaw. She missed the 5/21 Dream Morning Musume concert because of this.

Jaw inflammation seems to be pain in the jaw and after doing a little research jaw inflammation could actually be a symptom to an even bigger problem. I hope Rika isn’t in too much pain by this and hopefully for Rika this will be a  short term problem that will heal soon.

Get well soon Rika!

The tracklist for Dream Morning Musume’s 1st tour titled Concert Tour 2011 Haru no Mai ~Sotsugyousei DE Saikessei~ has been released.

I was surprised to see that they performed songs that weren’t included in their album, such as Shabondama and even a medley of many OG fan favorites featuring four songs from earlier generations, and while I would have liked to see them perform newer songs I am happy to see that they got a chance to sing many great songs from earlier generations.

There were a few songs that they didn’t include such as Sexy Boy ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~, Ame no Furanai Hoshi de wa Aisenai Darou?, Memory Seishun no Hikari and Afternoon Coffee, which might be somewhat disappointing to some, although it’s great to see that they added a bit of variety by changing them to performances of other Momusu songs since fans enjoyed a great concert.

From the setlist you can see that there are many great songs, but I look forward to seeing the performance for Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari the most since it’s one of the few songs that features updated lyrics, although for the most part the entire setlist is amazing since hearing the original voices for most of Momusu’s classic songs will most likely be a great thing for many fans.

Hopefully fans in Japan can check out the next performances and go to the concert since it looks like this will be a great tour.

Here are the rest of the dates for the tour:

Date	Venue	Concert starts
05/01	Amagasaki Shi Sougou Bunka Sentaru Kaikkunoru	14:30 / 18:00
05/04	Nakano Sun Plaza	15:00 / 18:30
05/05	Nakano Sun Plaza	14:00 / 18:00
05/07	NHK Osaka Hall	15:00 / 18:30
05/15	Yokosu ka Geijutsu Gekijou	15:00 / 18:30
05/21	Hiroshima ALSOK Hall	13:30 / 17:00
05/29	Beishia Bunka Hall (Gunba Kenmin Kaikan) Dai Hall	15:00 / 18:30

Dream Morning Musume To Appear On “Kamisun!”

Dream Morning Musume will perform on a new live show called “Kamisun!“

The show is a new one and will air live on Monday and then again at midnight on Wednesday nights.

I’m glad that Dream Musume is able to promote themselves more and being on a brand new show hopefully will draw in new fans. Also since it’s a new show I hope that there’s more than just a performance, a talk session will be great too.

Dream Morning Musume will appear on 4/25.
