Response

yeah, i know you'll say "wow, so soon", still no latest news nor tracklist for this single yet. I liked their first single a lot, so i'm for sure looking forward to this. I'm a little disappointed they don't have new outfits, but I really don't care. Those covers look great tho. Those covers could be easily covers for Minna no Tamago................cheap. But still, i can't wait for the preview.

Merry Go Round’s H!P Best of 2008 Poll

Got an inspiration from Chibilloli's Blog to write something in my blog, hope she's not mad at me(lol) coz i only copied the poll but the answers are from my own point of view, all thanks to her. Don't forget to check out the poll over on Merry Go Round.

Ok, back to topic, although it's a bit late to make this poll but better than nothing i guess, i'm sure some of you want to know more from me right? <= lol

Bests

Best Group Single
℃-ute - Forever Love
I picked this single as the best group single, although i'm more to Morning Musume but i felt that this single already beat the Momusu's Resonant Blue and Pepper Keibu. From their music to the PVs, i admit that ℃-ute as great as Berryz Kobo.

Best Soloist Single
Mano Erina - LaLaLa-SoSoSo

When she was in Ongaku Gatas, i'm sure many fans out there would picked this girl as their favourite since she's pretty and all but sorry, i'm not one of them, i don't like her "kawaii" personality nor her voice, but not totally hate her as i did the same to Koharu...keke...but i very like her LaLaLa-SoSoSo, i know her voice not bad at all, and of course not good at all for a solo artist also. But she did attract me on this single, i've to say that she's great when she's playing the piano.

Best Group Album
Morning Musume - Cover You
It takes me forever to choose between Berryz Kobo's 5(FIVE) and this album, but finally, i gave up and i picked Cover You as the best group album, because Izakaya is my favourite song in this album, actually all songs included here are awesome, hey, all songs were the legend songs, and not from the latest Tsunku's released...lol

Best Soloist Album
Abe Natsumi - (Best Selection)15 Shoku no Nigaoe Tachi
Until now, she's still my favourite soloist. Her voice is great makes all songs sang by her are awesome IMO. Her 2007 single, Too far away -Onna no Kokoro- is my favourite.

Best PV
Morning Musume - Resonant Blue
Although RB didn't really attractive IMO, but the PV does looks great coz' i don't like " studio's" PV..keke..the PV did told the story(lyric) successfully.

Group With Best Overall Releases
Buono!
yeah, i've loved all of their singles and the album was good too. I hope this group continue their great singles/albums in 2009 even there's no space for the anime op/ed soon.

Best New Group
Shugo Chara Egg!
hehe...yeah, there's Kanon Fukuda and Wada Ayaka, so it's accepted but their 1st single pretty darn good too. At first, i don't like any kind of "childish" groups, but not Shugo Chara Egg!...lol...i really like their coupling song in the 1st single.

Best New Soloist
Mano Erina
is there any NEW soloist in H!P?...lol...anyhow, Mano Erina is my vote.

Best Photobook
Niigaki Risa - Happy Girl
Well, me as a Happy Boy, you've already knew it right?...lol

Hottest Idol of 2008
Niigaki Risa
Although, Ai chan and Eri Kamei are still my favourite but still, the Reaction Queen win...keke

Worsts

Worst Group Single
Milky Way
I hate anything from "her", i know you knew it..lol...poor Yuu Kikkawa and Sayaka Kitahara, those two girls are great singers but H!P has been wasting them on this group.

Worst Soloist Single
Kusumi Koharu
no comment

Worst PV
Berryz Kobo - Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance
I totally hate that monkey's outfit, makes the whole PV looks worst but not the music.

Worst Vocalist
Kusumi Koharu
Even the "non-voice expert" already knew it.

Least Attractive Girl of 2008
Kusumi Koharu
Tanaka Reina
Sugaya Risako
Tsugunaga Momoko
If it's only one answer, i picked the "red" one. One reason, i'm "tired" of her/them.

Ok, that's it. Please take no offence, from what you see, those are my sincerely responses on my own point of view. Here's hoping Hello! Project will be better and better, i just hope they'll "see" the less "popular's" members who have the "quality".

Finally, the bigger ver released. I always love this kind of cover! Comparing this to their previous albums this is definitely the most mature looking and for me this is the best design. And Airi is the winner!!!!! Her untied hair freaking awesome! She looks completely different than usual!. Anyway, hope this album is awesome as the cover....can't wait for it.

Response

I really liked the PV from the start, and even tho it's cheap, it works well and gets the girl's individual personalities across very well. So i guess many fans out there already picked their favourite Icecream..lol

Kamo! Kamo! Kamo!...............Nanikore!

sorry guys bout' the tittle, just kiddin...lol

Already listened to Naichau Kamo few days ago(radio rip), this song looks like a "controversy" one since many fans out there tired of Ai chan and Reina, including me...lol...well at first it didn't really grab me, but since then it has been on repeat. Both of them "conquering" most of the lines, but sometimes that isn't all bad as Ai chan does sound amazing, and its not like Resonant Blue where only those two and Koharu got solo line...so of course Naichau Kamo >>>>>>>>> Resonant Blue in my opinion.......lol.......i've already wished that this new single gave more chances to let Gaki san took most of the lines since she's the sub leader and her voice is not bad as Koh...ops...sorry to "her" fans...lol...I am a bit dissapointed that the 8th gen members are totally "invisible"(almost actually) ....hope to hear more from them in the next singles.

but that's the radio rip, maybe if we listen it again and again from a better quality, then we can consider this song is really a failure or whatever silly ideas you might have...lol

Ok, about the PV (soon), as i can see from their last 4 singles (Onna ni Sachi Are - Pepper Keibu), the PVs quite boring, not really cheap one (like CGI on Mikan's PV...that's expensive i guess...lol) but there's too much "space" (i hope you understand what i mean). So first things first, I just hope there's an interesting PV such as their previous singles like Aruiteru, Shabondama etc.... even it is the cheap one, make it like Osaka Koi no Uta, Namida ga Tomaranai Houkago etc

Even they're dancing in front of a white background and they have some props, urgh whatever...the thing I "care" the most in some PVs is that we get to see the girls' personality..that's more interesting even with a cheap one in my opinion.... I think I'm going to start giving up on UFA putting effort in anything they do from now on....well, can't depend 100% on the PVs only....if the song is great, some fans couldn't accept the PV and on the other side, some fans didn't like the song, but the PV might help a lil bit.

This is a hard one to call on sales wise, so I wont bother trying to guess how well it will do.

I am waiting for covers and pv's yet though.
