Happy new year everyone!!

On Hello!Satoyama life was the preview of the Help me!! mv. We got some great many shots of what the mv will look like and I must say it looks amazing. The whole mv is done with a green screen, but it looks very good and all the girls look amazing. Here are some gifs to show the preview:

This morning was another great morning, because the dance-shot of Help me!! was released. It gives us a good idea of what the MV will be like. The dance looks very hard, but beautiful 2 <3 They give Sakura some spotlight, but most of the time she is just dancing somewhere in the background. I like that Mizuki for once is in center (not all the time but chorus 2 and some part after that). Very nice dance shot and I can't wait to see more <3 While watching the clip I tried to colorcode the lyrics, but I can't see the chorus clear.. : (I got the lyrics from Hello!Online-S-N-I-P-E-R Sayumi Reina Haruna Mizuki Ayumi Erina Riho Kanon Sakura Masaki Haruka ｢watashi wo kono mama hitoribocchi ni shiteoku wake? amari ni mo samishii omoi wo sasete tsuzukeru no nara, watashi wa doko ka tooku ni tondeitteshimau yo? nee ii no?   」 [ Riho / Masaki ]tasukete onegai[ Mizuki/ Ayumi ] kore ijou watashi 　 gaman nante dekinai A A A [ Reina / Masaki ]zutto matsu dake no [

When I woke up this morning I was glad to find the morning musume covers for their 52th single help me!! I don't really know which version is which but let's have a look at them! We got 4 group versions and 4 sub-group versions. I love the casual clothes they wear! I would totally wear eripons dress! This version is beautiful <3 I love all these pictures. They all look very cute, Beautiful and fresh. I like this version the best because they all look AMAZING. This version looks a bit pixely :P but that's just because I downloaded it. I kinda like how ayumi, Kudo, Eripon, Sayu and Mizuki look, but Sakura, Haruna and Reina look so unnatural. The picture is a bit to fake for me, but some of them look very very good This cover is kinda dark. But a lot of the girls look incredible. Ayumi looks very cute, Sakura looks like a natural, Haruna looks very innocent, Eripon looks like a model, Kanon looks very pretty and Mizuki is just amazing <3 I like this cov

On 12-12-12 Morning Musume announced their 52th single. It will be released on the 23th of January. It will be Oda Sakura's debut single. The outfits are already released and we even got the full preview of the song. The song is very cool, but it feels a bit sad sometimes. I hear a lot of Reina and Riho (again). Sayumi, Mizuki and Sakura have solo's too. There will be 8 versions of Help me!! Tracklist: Limited Edition A, B, C & Regular Edition B Tracklist: 1. Help me!! 2. Happy Daisakusen 3. Help me!!

Some time ago Berryz Koubou released the MV for their upcoming single WANT! The song is upbeat and techno like. All the members got to sing (more then one line) and there were different beautiful shots. Each member got her own room in their own color. Each room has something that kinda represent them (saki has a pig doll, which she collects). During the song they walking from room to room and sing with eachother. It gives the clip a very cool, but I think playfull look. There is also a close-up of each member in their room. The dance-shot is kinda dark with a big lighted thing in the background. The dance looks very cool, but also very elegant. The outfits are purple dresses, which are beautiful, maybe a bit underwear-like for me. My favorite part of the song must be the music during the bridge and several other parts (were Yurina and Chinami are singing <3). I really like this clip, because it's diffrent from most Berryz songs. It's very cool and fresh.

It was announced that Berryz Koubou will be releasing their 9th album in January! The title is: Berryz Mansion 9 kai or Berryz Mansion 9th floor. For now the album will have 10 songs including: Cha Cha Sing!, Loving you to much, Yurushite Nyan Taisou (remix) and Anata Nashi dewa Ikite Yukenai (new version). I assume it will also contain Be Genki and Want! I'm really looking forwards to this Album and I hope it will give each member the time to shine. And I love it that they will sing their debut single again <3 Release date: 30th of January

Today is the birthday of Berryz koubou's only graduated member Ishimura Maiha. She became 20 today, so Happy Birthday Maiha-chii. On Hello!Online there were some new pictures of Maiha and I was super happy to see them. Maiha looks so mature and beautiful. I wish she was still in Berryz. Here are the pictures: She is promoting her dad's Unagi shop. So the man should be her dad <3 

Congratulations to the 9th generation members of Morning Musume. Today they had their 100th concert preformance as a part of Morning Musume. This was announced on the official Morning Musume twitter: https://twitter.com/MorningMusumeMg/status/270110623726190592 The Kyuukies were the first generation to join since my love for Morning Musume started. So this generation will always have a special place in my heart. I can't believe it's already their 100th concert preformance <3 Congrats Mizuki, Congrats Erina, Congrats Riho and Congrats Kanon :)

Fore Fore ~Forest for Rest~ -DIY<3 I heared this song a few times before, but it still amazes me everytime. EVERYTIME. The pv-preview was amazing and I can't wait till we get the full version. I still love how Haruna and Chinami are in this group. Boys be ambitious- Green fields Boys be ambitious! sounds so relaxing and cute. Every second of the preview sounds amazing and I can't wait to hear more. I could hear Aika and Saki, but I don't really know Yuuka's voice. Can't wait to hear more. Forest time- Harvest I like the song a lot. Now girl has a solo, but the good blending makes up for it. The dance is really really cute and the members are too. How can I resist a group with Ayumi and Eripon in it? Well I can't. Peaberry- Cabbage Hakusho This song had to grow on me. I love it now. The clip is beautiful and serene. Riho and Ayaka are a duo I would have never putt togheter, but I'm happy they were. The song is really sof

Today it was announced that 6th generation member Tanaka Reina will graduate Morning Musume and Hello!Project to focus on her currently unnamed band.  I wasn't very suprised by this news, to be honest. When the auditions for Reina's band were announced, I kinda figured she would be graduating in the near future. It was kind of a suprise that the spring tour name was announced yesterday and that it was:  Morning Musume。Concert Tour 2013 Spring Michishige☆Eleven SOUL. It kinda sounded like Sayu would be graduating and not Reina. But today it was announced that not Sayumi, but Reina would be graduating Morning Musume and that the title would be changed to:  モーニング娘。コンサートツアー2013春 ミチシゲ☆イレブンSOUL ～田中れいな卒業記念スペシャル～  This is the normal name with Tanaka Reina graduation special behind it I believe. It's sad news that another Morning Musume member will be leaving the group pretty soon (around may I think). But I also understand that Sakura was choosen to take a lot of Reina's
