Kusumi Koharu’s Fourth Single

Morning Musume’s Kusumi Koharu will release her fourth single (title TBA) on July 16th. It will be the opening and ending songs for the anime she voice acts in, Kirarin Revolution.

Anata Boshi Tracklist

Milky Way’s first single, Anata Boshi will be hitting the shelves in almost a month (the group consists of Kusumi Koharu, Kikkawa Yuu, and Kitahara Sayaka), and finally the tracklist has been announced.

1. Anata Boshi
2. Sansan Gogo
3. Anata Boshi (Instrumental)

New Unit Milky Way Confirmed

The members of the new H!P unit Milky Way have been confirmed. My guessing was mostly wrong… Kusumi Koharu will be in this group along with Kikkawa Yuu and Kitahara Sayaka.

Kikkawa Yuu is a Hello!Pro Egg who also auditioned and made it to the final five in the Morning Musume Happy 8ki audition. Kitahara Sayaka is also and Hello!Pro Egg.

The group is, as I guessed before, for the anime Kirarin Revolution. Kikkawa will play Hanasaki Kobeni (glasses w/ purple-ish hair) and Kitahara will play Yukino Noel (blue hair). Of course, Kusumi will play Kirarin.

Their first single, Anata Boshi, will be the opening to the new season of Kirarin Revolution. The single will be released on April 30th.

New Unit “Milky Way”

A new unit called Milky Way has appeared on Fujisan.com. The first single is called Anata Boshi and will also have a Single V so it’s definatly related to H!P in some way. The above picture might have something to do with this group…

Kirari from Kirarin Revolution is in the middle, so this group probably has Kusumi Koharu in it. Then theres the two other girls… I’m guessing Miyoshi Erika and Okada Yui since they’re no longer in any group…

 So, like I said, The single is called Anata Boshi and will be released on April 30th. The single V will be released on May 8th.

[[Pocket Morning Weekly]] Question: What’s a song you recommend that’s easy to remember the dance steps for?

Takahashi Ai: SEXY BOY ~ Soyokaze ni Yorisotte ~

Niigaki Risa: I recommend “Mikan” because the swing of the bridge
makes everyone excited ☆ Please listen to this song
lots of times and get excited too (^o^)/

Kamei Eri: The bridge of “Mikan”
☆ There’s one finger raised up, ya know ☆!?

Michishige Sayumi: Balalaika~♪ The swing of the bridge is awesome ↑↑

Tanaka Reina: “SEXY BOY ~ Soyokaze ni Yorisotte ~”
It’s easy to remember as there are
just the hand movements （●￣ｗ￣●）

Kusumi Koharu: “LOVE Machine”
♪ WOW WOW～♪♪Yeah～Yeah～ ♪

Mitsui Aika: Mikan! The bridge has the feeling of jumping together,
so everyone has fun with it ↑↑
Please try to jump around all over the place, too ♪

JunJun: “Dekkai Uchuu ni Ai ga Aru”

LinLin: My recommendation is Mikan. There’s this spot
in the song where you raise one finger to the sky,
and everyone really gets into the dancing there!

I have a feeling this Pocket Morning was inspired by AmeriaJinMusume. =]

Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, and C-ute Poll

Paul on Hello!Blog has made a poll… more info here: http://www.helloblog.co.uk/comment.php?commentID=253

It’s pretty cool =] I guess I should put up my results and reasons why (which will be really short):

1) Gaki-san

When I saw my first Momusu PV, Risa was the first girl who stood out to me. Her voice is so pretty and she’s really outgoing.

2) JunJun

After watching some of her videos on MouTube, you just cannot not love her! She’s so cute and she has a very unique voice.

3) Aichan

She’s the last of my top three because… I think that even though she’s really pretty, her Doi Takako imitation is hilarious, and she’s an amzing singer, she has too many lines. Give JunJun and LinLin a chance! But… it’s not her fault. Tsunku’s the one who gives her all the lines.

4) Mittsi

It was really hard choosing from Aichan and Aika… Aika is so cute! I also think she has one of the most outgoing personalities in Momusu.

5) Kame

She hasn’t stood out to me much…. but she’s really funny! I also think that her singing talent has deteriorated (sp?). It’s too cutsey.

6) LinLin

Hmm… she just hasn’t stood out to me. I don’t know much about her, but I like her more then the last three.

7) Tanakacchi

Same with LinLin, she hasn’t stood out to me. I had some trouble choosing between LinLin and Reina.

8 ) Sayumin

She has improved, singing wise. Just listen to Namida Tomaranai ga Houkago from the Odore! Morning Curry concert. But she seems like a camera hog to me.

9) Koha-chan

She is my least favorite because she is a camera hog and she.cannot.sing. Have you heard Kirarin Land? I barely made it out alive…

1) Yuri

I started to like Yurina when I found out she had the same birthday as me (LOL). Then I liked her even more when I discovered the HUGE hight difference compared to me. Yes, I am very short. 148 cm. WOO! I CAN BE IN MINI MONI! OK… um… back on track. I like her voice alot. It’s not too cute but not too… not cute? It’s hard to explain, but it’s nice.

 2) Chii

She’s so energetic! And she’s really cute, but not overly cute.

 3) Mibi

The only reason she cought my eye is her amazing voice. Like…the voice of an angel (haha). I started paying more attention to her and started to like her.

4) Momo

She used to be my #1 favorite, but then I noticed how hard she tries to be cute. Yah, she’s a great singer but her cuteness can get annoying.

5) Riisa

She used to be my least favorite, I thought she was a camera hog and really self-center, but she’s not. After watching a million making-ofs, I have concluded that she is really nice and has a nice personality.

6) Captain

Even though she’s the leader, she doesn’t stand out to me. Her voice also sounded really strained.

7) Mama

I do not hate Maasa, it’s just she never gets the spotlight and I so I don’t know much about her.

1) Chiisa

Since I don’t know much about C-ute, these will all be breif:

Chisato is a wonderful singer, and I wish she got the spotlight more often.

2) DJ Maimai

Mai has a cute voice, I had trouble choosing her or Chiisa.

3) Erika

She used to be my favorite member because of her hair… xD

4) Maimi

Very cool, I like her personality, but she mumbles sometimes and her voice is not as appealing.

5) NSaki

She’s really cute, I wish she got the spotlight more.

6) Aririn

She gets the spotlight all the time and it’s annoying. She’s a wonderful, wonderful singer but it bothers me…

7) Kanna

Like Maasa, she just hasn’t stood out to me.
