The covers for Hello! Project’s first Blu-ray releases for Hello! Project 2010 Winter Concert Tour ~Mobekimasu!~ & ~Shuffle Deeto!~ have been released on the official site.
As you can tell they are basically just slightly more square versions of the DVD and I am not really not that surprised about it since they are re-releases of concerts that are already available, but I have to admit that I still like how the covers look even though they seem to just have been pushed together.
Despite that the covers look ready for the release, and while I don’t expect to see previews from the UFA Youtube channel I do expect to see some uploads of the concert soon when it is released, so hopefully that is the case and everyone gets a chance to check it out and buy the Blu-rays to encourage UFA to release more in the future.
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.
A concert PB for Hello! Project’s latest concert tour titled LIVE TOUR PHOTO DOCUMENT 「Hello! Project 2010 Winter Concert “Kachou Fuugetsu ~Mobekimasu~” & “Kachou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~」 has been announced.
According to description the PB will features interviews with Ai-chan, Shimizu Saki, Yajima Maimi, Mano Erina, and Wada Ayaka (the leaders of the groups) as well as backstage photos taken by some of the members.
I’m glad to see that more and more concerts are getting PBs since it is always interesting to see photos from the concerts along with the video performances on DVD, and the added bonus of having the two concerts in the same PB is a great addition since fans will get pictures from both concert tours.
Hopefully we get some previews soon since the description sounds promising.
The cover for Hello! Project’s Concert Tour Winter 2010 Kachou Fuugetsu ~Shuffle Deeto~ DVD has been released on the official site.
I’m glad to see that they included all of the shuffle groups in the cover since there are a lot of them (High King, Tanpopo #, ZYX-a, Shin Mini Moni, Pucchimoni V, Aa!, Guardians 4, Zoku Biyuuden, and Buono!). I like how most of the bottom half is taken by the logo for the concert since it makes it easier to identify among other DVDs.
This is also one of the first times many fans will see the new costumes for the groups and as you can tell there are many great ones (Buono!, Aa!, Zoku Biyuuden and ZYX-a) and some that are among that many in H!P that make us notice the costumes more than the song itself (High King, Pucchimoni V, and Tanpopo #).
The background is a solid black which is not that exciting but slightly better than an overpowering color. Despite that the cover looks incredible since all of the members are present and even though some of them are in more than one shuffle group (Airi and Miyabi) it was an overall fair cover for everyone.
Hopefully the cover for the accompanying concert tour titled Kachou Fuugetsu ~Mobekimasu~ is released soon as well.

The DVD for Hello! Project’s 2010 Winter Concert Tour~Shuffle Deeto~ has been announced. The setlist for the concert is shown above, although it might have a few changes since it is the setlist for the first day.
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 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 Morning Musume – Shouganai Yume Oibito (5:04)
2 Berryz Koubou – Seishun Bus Guide (3:25)
3 C-ute – EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!!(4:19)
4 Pucchimoni V – Pirai! Otome no Negai (3:51)
5 Tanpopo # – Umbrella (4:33)
6 Buono! – MY BOY (4:12)
7 Mano Erina – Otome no Inori (4:51)
8 Aa! – Yume to Genjitsu (4:17)
9 Shin Minimoni – Pen Pen Kyoudai (3:26)
10 High-King – DESTINY LOVE (4:12)
11 Guardians 4 – Omakase♪Guardian (3:20)
12 Shugo Chara Egg! – Shugo Shugo! (3:18)
13 Tsukushima Kirari starring Kusumi Koharu (Morning Musume) – Happy☆Happy Sunday! (3:41)
14 S/mileage – aMa no Jaku (4:46)
15 Abe Natsumi – Screen (4:49)
16 Matsuura Aya – Chocolate Damashii (4:54)
17 Yaguchi Mari – Seishun Boku (4:09)
18 Satoda Mai with Gouda Kyoudai – Bye Bye (3:39)
Total Album Length (according to J-Books): 1:15:10
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).
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.
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”.
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 track lists for Hello! Project’s Pucchi Best 10 album and DVD have been released. I’m kind of surprised to see them include Satoda Mai’s “Bye Bye” and Yaguchi’s “Seishun Boku” songs although they were technically released before they graduated from Hello! Project (Yaguchi’s barely made it by being released a week before leaving H!P).
Like rumored the new songs by the shuffle units will be released on the album, including songs from Guardians 4, Buono, S/mileage, and Shugo Chara Egg. I’m glad to see that we will be able to have S/mileage’s debut song in an H!P album, although I would have liked to see Nanchatte Renai on the album instead of Shouganai Yume Oibito (I like them both, but Nanchatte seemed to be a better choice).
Kusumi’s last single as Tsukishima Kirari is also included which is a great relief, and Berryz Koubou’s “Seishun Bus Guide” wasn’t much of a surprise either. What is interesting to see is the “Others” on the DVD, which might mean we could get Shuffle Group PV’s, since they seem to be the only one’s without a PV (except Satoda’s “Bye Bye”, and Berryz who seem to have released “Seishun Bus Guide” on the album and “Rival” on the DVD).
Hopefully we get a confirmed list but for now the setlist is looking great.
