Sakura Mankai

It has been announced sometime ago: Morning Musume would be doing a song for the 400th episode of J-melo. Tsunku would write the song, but asked the help of people all over the world. (I entered in this and wrote a message to the girls.) Today the title of the song was announced: What is Love. I can't wait to hear it! 

Name: Danbara Takeru (Ruru) Birthdate: May 7, 2001 (12) Birthplace: Hiroshima, Japan Bloodtype: A Looks up to: Sayashi Riho (she graduated from the same school Riho went to)

Today H!P released 7 video's on the kenshuusei channel. They are introduction video's for the 7 new kenshuusei girls! I believe all of them participated in the Mirai Shoujo auditions for Morning Musume.  I watched all the video's and I'll talk a little bit about the new girls, but I don't understand Japanese to well, so it'll be more name and face, than info.  Let's have a look at these new girls: Haga Akane This girl is Haga Akane. To be honest I don't know that much about her. I don't speak Japanese so I don't know her age or anything. But I think she looks cute! She said something about really wanting to join Morning Musume. And I believe she likes Kudo Haruka and Fukuda Kanon Funaki Musubu Omg.. I love this girl. She is adorable >3< And her name Musubu <3 She dances really good! I love this girl already.. I saw her in the auditions and I thought she was to cute for words <3  She said she loves Michishige Sayumi

I know, I know, I'm making a blog post about AKB48!  It's only my fourth entry I guess? Anyways I have been getting in to AKB48 lately.  I never really payed that much attention to them, because I found it hard enough keeping up with H!P. But someone on facebook (You know I'm talking about you ;)) got me into them and it totally worked. I even bought some cd's (Eien pressure, Koisuru fortune cookie and Suki Suki Skip)! AKB48 totally won me over, so be prepared for posts about them and their songs! But now! Their new song has been preformed during the Janken Tournament!! It's called Heart Ereki and Kojima Haruna is center. The members for the single are:  Team A: Takahashi Minami, Watanabe Mayu, Iriyama Anna, Kawaei Rina and Yokoyama Yui Team B: Oshima Yuko Team K: Kashiwagi Yuki, Kojima Haruna and Shimazaki Haruka Team 4: Minegeshi Minami SKE48 team s/AKB48 team K: Matsui Yurina SKE48 team E: Matsui Rena NMB48  Team N/AKB48 team B:  

Congratulations to Juice=Juice! They got the second place in Oricons weekly charts!! They sold 37,213 singles in their first week! Again Congratulations Juice=Juice and keep up the good work! I got my cd today! With the first press bonus: A coaster.

H!P Kenshuusei got a new song! It was first preformed on the Kenshuusei event yesterday! Title: Oheso no Kuni Kara Konnichiwa (which means something like: Hello from bellybutton land). I'm really happy H!P Kenshuusei gets another song, which will probably be their third single!  Congratulations Kenshuusei girls!!

Oda Sakura was choosen to be the only 11th gen member, the Supping UtaHime. Since she joined Morning Musume, they are rolling like never before. Three number one weekly singles!  Sakura had a event some time ago and did some Golden Oldies. Most of the time we only get to hear some live rips and if we are lucky we get some footage from the fanclub dvd. But with Oda-chan it's different!! Her preformances are uploaded on Youtube.  We now have to great preformances with Ki ga Tsukaba Anata being my absolute favorite.  Sakura has always been on the top of my list. Her voice is just so great, in every way. She hits all the notes (with some little mistakes, but that could happen to everyone) and makes them sound so easy and smooth. Her voice fits everything. I really love how she is so small and funny. She is adorable and beautiful. Sakura is really perfect for me <3.

The second MV that was shown was Berryz Koubou's ROCK Erotic. The title already tells us the song would be very sexy and ROCK! I totally adore the song. It's very cool and berryz like.  The MV is very sexy and I like how everyone gets the spotlight. Miyabi and Risako lead and they are doing really well. They pull of the sexy thing very good. The hight light of the song is for me Miyabi's WOW and the ROCK erotic parts.  Screencaps:

Hello!Station has been released for about an hour now and I'm still fangirling on the new MV's for Berryz Koubou. Let's first talk about Motto Zutto Isshoni Itakatta. The song is really good. It's a ballad like song, but faster. It's quite sad and the girls dance like and pose like dolls. There is a lot of water and sky in this clip Screencaps after the break!

More good news! ROCK Erotic will also be on Hello!Station today! We will get both songs at once! This is the screencap for now. We see Motto Zutto. It's in a night sky.  On twitter:  https://twitter.com/ufdc_official/status/377741211521384448

Juice=Juice are on second place on Oricon style! They sold 23.997 copies of their debut single on the presale day! Congratulations Juice=Juice!!

Maasa blogged that the MV for Berryz koubou's new single Motto Zutto Isshoni Itakatta will be shown today on Hello!Station. This is pretty soon after the Radio rip and concert preformance!  The limited edition cover were also released last week, although they are very LQ. These two have the outfits for Rock Erotic. The name is so sexy, I really don't know what to expect. But these cover do give a small preview. Chinami, Maasa and Yurina are the men. They wear suits and look manly. Risako, Miyabi, Saki and Momoko are wearing the sexy lady outfits. With Momoko as Maid and Risako as Bunny girl. I really hope the "guys" have the lead in this single. The other two covers have the outfits for Motto Zutto Isshoni Itakatta. They look pretty simple, but I guess it's good like that. Yurina and Chinami really get my attention in the second cover. 

Today is the day! Juice=Juice is releasing their Major Debut single, which means they are now officially debuted! Congratulations to the wonderful girls of Juice=Juice. Their debut single was pre-released yesterday and Tower Records said they were at #2 on the Tower Records single store charts and #2 on the Tower Records  JPOP chart! Which is amazing! A few days ago Tsunku tweeted:  https://twitter.com/tsunkuboy/status/375133159488094208 He says he is already working on Juice=Juice's next single! Last week there was also the shocking release of the picture above. A promotional picture for Romance no Tochuu with Aina! She has also been spotted in the MV's but this picture is something else. Congratulations Juice=Juice for debuting!  Please support them by buying their single!

Morning Musume will release a photobook/guidebook to celebrate their 15th anniversary. It will release on the 30th of September. The cover was released today. It's very nice and simple. The members are standing/kneeling on the cover in a sort of pyama's. Erina, Sakura, Riho, Mizuki and Haruka are in front and Kanon, Haruna, Sayumi, Ayumi and Masaki are in the back. The title is: Morning Musume 15th Anniversary Photobook Zero. There will be a interview with Tsunku, a photoshoot in these pyama-like outfits and a photoshoot in schooluniform for 9th, 10th and 11th generation. On the dvd the girls will all talk in their native dialect. I really love the cover. it's very simple and sweet. Light pink/salmon and the ocean blue color are very calming and sweet. I think every member looks very impressive and beautiful. And Erina is on the front line for ones! Zero seems to be a beautiful title. The way it's on the cover is perfect. I think they mean something like we are sta

The titles for Berryz Koubou's 33th single were announced! The single is a double a-side and will release on the 2nd of October. It's called: Motto Zutto Isshoni Itakatta/ROCK Erotic. The first song was already preformed at the Hello Concert and it was also show on Hello!Station today. The song starts around 17.32. It's a pretty cool song, but it has a very sad feeling to it. Miyabi is the lead vocal with Momoko and Risako as sub leads. The name means something like: I want us to have more time togheter.  The other song is called ROCK Erotic (although I haven't found it to be confirmed yet). It's a very suggestive title isn't it? It must be a very mature and sexy song! For now I'm exited for this release!

Morning Musume's Wagamama ki no mama Ai no Joke/Ai no Gundan has sold enough copies to be on number one on their release week! This is their third single to do so, which is an amazing achievement. Congratulations Morning Musume! Keep up with the amazing singles and the amazing work! As a big fan of Morning Musume I couldn't be happier. They worked really hard and they deserve this so much. I hope they will keep bein as amazing as they are. Morning Musume is amazing and the members are really the best.  Michishige Sayumi is the cool and sexy leader. She is the oldest and leads the way. Iikubo Haruna has only been in Morning Musume for 2 year and is a true beauty and a great sub-leader. Fukumura Mizuki is the first princess. She sings amazing and is super pretty. Ishida Ayumi is a true dance-machine. She is sharp and every move is perfect.  Ikuta Erina is becoming the number 1 idol. She has a great personality and her love for Gaki is amazing. Sayashi Riho i

The covers for the new Best of album for Morning Musume were released! The Limited edition The Regular edition I really like both covers. They are really simple and very clean. I love how cute everyone looks and how beautiful everything is. The only compains are the sparkles in the limited editon. One sparkle covers Kanon a lot.
