Sakura Mankai

Juice=Juice has finally announced their 4th single! It's set to release the 30th of July and it's called: Black Butterfly/Kaze ni Fukarete They already preformed Kaze ni Fukarete during the Nama Tamago Show. They wore pastel fluffy plain clothes. The ouftits for Black Butterfly seem to be black and tango like. I'm very happy Juice=Juice finally announced their new single. This group is making a lot of progress. I like the titles a lot and Black Butterfly sounds so great! The concert rip for Kaze ni Fukarete sounds very promissing! I can't wait to hear more!

During a Handshake event today in Iwate Two AKB48 members and a Staff member were attacked by a 24 year old man. The man was in line for the Handshake event and attacked the members and one Male staff member with a small hand saw. The AKB48 members are: Kawaei Rina (Team A- 19 years old) and Iriyama Anna (Team A- 18 years old). The condition of both girls and the staff member are stable and they are currently in the Hospital. The man was arrested and charged with attempted Murder. This is horrible and very sad news. AKB48 is the group that you could get close to, but this might change all that. Fans are never really searched and could get close to their favorite idol. It makes me so incredible sad that someone would attack these girls. I hope both girls and the staff member will be alright and I hope the man gets what he deserves.  It seems that Oshima Yuko (Team K) posted on her Google+ that both girls don't have major injuries.

The Lovely Captain of Berryz Koubou Shimizu Saki has cut her hair!  Saki had short hair for a lot of Berryz Singles, but her long hair was getting a lot of attention and fans.  Still Captain desided to cut her hair and does it looks amazing on her: I already had a feeling Saki had cut her hair when I saw those blog pictures with Mai. She looks so cute and mature! I really love it!

Before the new musical of Berryz Koubou Murota Mizuki, Yamagishi Riko, Nomura Minami and Yamaki Risa preformed a new Kenshuusei song: Crying The songs sounds very diffrent from the songs H!P kenshuusei released until now! Tsunku did reveal the name, but there is no information about any release date. 

It was announced that both C-ute and  Berryz Koubou will hold a concert in Budokan! C-ute will hold their concert on the 10th of Septemer (which is C-ute no hi!). Berryz Koubou will hold their concert the day after (11th of September). Congratulations Berryz and C-ute!! This is great news for both groups!

Here is a small preview Momoko showed on a tv program! Here are some screenshots to get an idea of the MV: The set contains some panels with old Berryz pictures on them. They also use the same panels for the close-ups which is awsome. This single will celebrate their 10 years of Berryz Koubou and this is the perfect way to do that! I think we will see more of the MV very soon, so stay tuned!

Berryz Koubou revealed the covers for their 35th single: Ai wa Itsumo Kimi no naka Ni/ Futsuu, Idol 10nen Yatteran nai Desho!? Let's have a look at them: Limited A Still loving the outfits! But it's not a good cover. I hate how Yurina is so small and in the back while Miyabi is huge. It's like a Morning Musume cover. The background looks pretty cheap, which makes me sad. Limited B Mmm, okay this look mm diffrent. I always like when they have their own space, but this is not what I ment. The colors are pretty horrible and Risako's hair... Nah not my taste. Limited C This is a good one! It fits the team and everyone has a spot. I like the drips of mudd. This one looks amazing (YURINA, CHINAMI!!!) And normale hair for Momo <3 Regular A This one is pretty good. I love that they show the legs. It's pretty cheap looking, but I do like it. Red looks pretty good. Regular B Oh this one looks so sweet! I love that it's soft pink and t...
