Berryz Koubou Q & A

Berryz Kobo Q. If you were to stay over at the house of a Hello!Pro member, whose house would you want to stay at?  ℃-ute's Yajima Maimi-chan's ♪ I want to see Cologne-chan and Aroma-chan too!! Mano-chan's ♪ I'd try staying there for one day, and if it's comfortable, I'd impose on her more!! lol ♪ Maimi's ☆ Nakky's ☆ She's so funny~ (o> v Berryz Kobo's → Kumai-chan's Chisato's house. It seems like it'd be really lively and fun! Nakky's!

Berryz Koubou- Kiss me Aishiteru & C-ute - Heroine ni Narou ka

A fan recorded a live version of C-ute singing "Heroin ni Narou ka!" (A berrz koubou song) And Berryz Koubou sining "kiss me Aishiteru",(a C-ute song) From there live tour~!

C-ute - Heroine ni Narou ka

I'm a big fan of Berryz Koubou so, I Had to listen to this song. I thought the Vocals were good! i just wish we got see C-ute dance to this song, maybe when The tour comes out on DVD we will be able to see a video on youtube. Overall I thought the song was wonderful, a little hard to hear, because of all the fans cheering, But I give this song 10 stars!

Berryz Koubou- Kiss me Aishiteru

C-ute is a 5 member band, so i wondered how they would distribute the lines, since Berryz has 7 members. But the Did a good job at this! the notes seemed a little higher than they should be, but Since it's live and not edited, i thought it was alright, The dance to this song is difficult, and like i said before, i really hope We could see a video of it, i Also give this performance 10 stars! 

Berryz Koubou going downhill?

*this blog post will have lots of videos and be very long*

First off, i want to say, that im a really big fan of Berryz Koubou. But lately, I've felt like, Berryz Koubou has shown their awesomeness in their last 2 singles. Their Sales have gone DOWN, alot! But no one has a real reason why it has though~ Many people said it was the dancing, and it's not like c-ute because the have 5 members and not 7, that why cute has harder dances. And we all Know that's not true, look at Morning Musume, they have more than 10 members in their group, and they still get hard dances. So let's compare these dances, shall we;

Im going in order by the past 2 singles. all except Morning musume

Ok~ This dance was very plain, it was pretty, but i didn't see anything that made me thing it was cool or special. one review said "This was  dance boring and It seems like the girls were prissy, and didn't want to get their outfits dirty or ruined" [ i did not name the article] I dont like it when people say stuff like that, but They just don't dance like they used to..

I like this song a lot~! The lyrics meant a lot to me, but what kind of dance is this?! honestly, i didn't like this Dance. The girls don't need to shake their rear-ends to make us happy~ Maybe a few guys like this dance, most girls didn't. The girls are very pretty and don't need to dance this this at all! 

This is a wonderful dance~! Yurina was finally in the middle since shining power. This is a kind of Dance the girls should be doing, it was nice, colorful, and had a mysterious look to it~! ^0^  The only problem is that the girl's dance went downhill, and yet we still have no idea why...

Now let's look at C-ute

I found this song very bright and cheerful, something Berryz Kobuou has been lacking these past two singles. 

The dance was complicated to do. And that makes them look like Professionals at dancing. I hope they keep up the good work

This Dance was also colorful and happy! ^0^ The dance was really less complicated, but it was still funt to watch~!!

Morning Musume

Since i don't want you guys ot keep reading, and i want to wrap up my review watch these 2 videos, if u didn't already XD

Both of these dances are well done! they are unique and wonderful. And they all have at least 9 members in it. And Berryz koubou has only 7....

                                                                                                                                                                   

I think that Berryz Koubou has improved over the years~! All the girls have. but now some people think they have a bad girl image and they don't. I wish they had harder dances like Morning Musume or C-ute, and i Hope they release a new single soon~ but i wish they song will be happy and not be involved with love, since it seems all the songs in Hello!Project do or at least mentions a Boy in their song. So, I want to see Berryz Koubou Improve and strive to get those sales increase, instead of decreasing! : DD

The release date for Single V is 11/1. do you know when that is?? it's Yuuka's Birthday!! I noticed they also did that for Ai-chan. I hope they do that to future graduating members.

Buono! “DEEP MIND” Release Date 1/18

The release date for Buono!’s confirmed 13th single titled DEEP MIND has been announced to be on 1/18.

Hearing the PV of this songs, it makes me think that the old Buono! is back. To be honest I was disappointed by their mini album, and didn't really like this new sound of theirs. And they didn't even dance, which really suprised me. But The PV sounds like the shugo chara songs they did. Plus~ Airi Blogged about The single and said that they Would be dancing~! So, i hope fans will enjoy that.

Maeda Yuuka is going to be graduating from Hello! Project and S/mileage

Maeda Yuuka  is going to be graduating from Hello! Project and S/mileage

When i Heard about the news, i was really surprised that another s/mileage original member will be graduating. And it's not like yuuka doesn't want to stay, but her studies is more important than being a singer, as she said.She loves all the new S/mileage sub-members, who just became official members about a week ago. And when Most Hello! Project stars graduate, most of them continue in the show business; but It says that once Yuuka graduates she will retire from show business. all together.

Yukka's comment on her graduation

Thank you for always supporting me.
I, Maeda Yuuka, as of 2011/12/31, will be graduating from Smileage and Hello! Project.
Just the other day at our event, the 4 sub members became official members which made me really happy, but at the same time made me realize that it was this timing that I had to use to tell you all something very important.
Since becoming a high school student, I have been unable to keep up with my Smileage work and school at the same time and it has bothered me a great deal. I started to think about my future and realized that my desire to attend a university had grown a lot over time. I was wondering if, at this rate, if I would be able to handle both school work and Smileage, I was really only able to give a half-hearted effort on both things… and was always getting help from other people, and I really disliked that part about me. I thought to myself “Things aren’t going to work out if it keeps going like this”.
I need to work a lot harder if I want to attend a university. But that had always been just talk, up til now nothing had really changed…
If I let these feelings continue, it would not be fair to the other members, nor to all the fans that support me.
I thought a lot about it. I may not be very bright but I put all my energy into thinking about this… and came up with this as the only possible option.
As of now with the four new members joining, it has been a joy to spend every day with the members. To the original members, to the new members, and to all of you who have always supported me, I am very very grateful.
Although it may be sad, we have a new single featuring the 7 of us coming out on 12/28, and I will be working my hardest ever to make this the best one yet!
I am very grateful to so many people, and hope to really enjoy these remaining 2 months, and finish with a smile in the Smileage way!
Please continue to support Smileage from here on after.
