Kobushi Factory will release their second major single on the 17th of febuary.  It's a triple a-side single called  Sakura Night Fever / Chotto Guchoku ni! Chototsu Moushin / Osu! Kobushi Tamashii There will be six versions of their single, 3 regular and 3 limited! Let's have a look at them.  Regular A This cover is for Sakura Night Fever. It's a really simple cover. The girls look pretty and I love the light theme. The blossom petals at the top are beautiful, but I do not know about the pixelish thing at the bottom. Yet I quite like this cover. The simpleness is cute and the girls look good! Regular B The second cover is for Chotto Guchoku ni! I do not like this cover. The girls do look foot, but I hate the color combination and it looks really cheap. The stars look like they needed to fill the space and the lettertype is horrific. It's not a good cover.  Regular C The third cover is for Osu! Kobushi Tamashii. It's not as terrible as

Kanazawa Tomoko (Juice=Juice) has been diagnosed with endometriosis. She has been feeling ill for quite a while and today a statement was released about her being diagnosed with this.  Tomoko posted on the Juice=Juice blog that she will continue to preform with Juice=Juice and that she keeps a positive additued towards recovering. She will be getting medication, which could affect her prefromances.  Matsuura Aya was diagnosed with the same illness a few years ago. This is such horrible news. It sounds like she is in a lot of pain. I hope she will be alright. Her health and well-being are way more important to me than her life as idol! http://ameblo.jp/juicejuice-official/entry-12121489417.html

ANGERME updated their group picture with their new 9 member line-up. The group picture is one with the girls just put togheter, but it's nice to finally see an offical group picture with Kamiko-chan. And onther thing: Do they not look fab? I love the dresses sooo much! Rina, Kana and Mizuki look beautiful! Moe looks sooooo cute!! I hope these are outfits for a new single!

Juice=Juice revealed the covers for their upcoming double a-side single! The single will also be their debut single as NEXT YOU. Next is you! / Karada Dake ga Otona ni Nattan ja nai will be released in 6 versions, so let's have a look at the covers! Regular A Regular A is the regular cover for Next You and it's quite obvious that their group color is Pink. Akari is center in the group, so it's nice to see they actually put her in the middle. I really like the font of Next is You! It looks a bit like an American Diner and I like it. It's a very simple cover, but the girls look good and everything looks nice.  Regular B Regular B is the cover for Juice=Juice's A-side. I love the blue. It's a nice contrast to NEXT You and I really love the combination of the outfits with the blue. Tomoko looks so pretty!! Another simple cover, but a nice one.  Limited A The limited A cover of NEXT YOU obviously has a circle theme. I really like how the c

I am looking forwards to welcoming more girls into momusu!
