C-ute no Longer Cute w/ Aitai Aitai Aitai Na

Aitai Aitai Aitai Na MV has finally been revealed early this morning! Of all the releases from Hello! Project, C-ute's singles has always been my most awaited. So this was a fresh wake up call!

Buono to perform in Budokan for Sashihara Rino's Idol Festival

Our dear Buono is going to perform in Budokan for the idol festival. They will perform with AKB48's Sashihara Rino on June 25, 2012. This is a great news to all HP and AKB48 lover to see their idols collaborate together =). I'm not really an avid AKB48 follower and I wouldn't call myself a fan, but wouldn't it be great to see HP and AKB48 do a concert together?

C-ute is just being CUTE!!

Finally, the official MV for C-ute's Sekaiichi HAPPY na Onna no Ko! The PV, for me is just another HP-way-of-thinking. It's colorful, where it features the girls in their official color, usual close-up versions where the girls are being cute and their usual dance shot.

The PV starts with the girls sitting in their lair, boxes, room or whatever you call it. And I like Maimi's poise in that pic btw..XD! In my opinion, the background seems to be lacking something, it's quite plain with the colorful boxes with the long colorful roads before them and the plain white background. My favorite part would probably be when the girls are lying with book and paper bags are surrounding them matching their colors. It's funny how the whole PV reminds me of my SCRAPBOOKING MATERIALS! hahahaha!

As for the costume, it looks like a simple version of their Edo no Temari Costume. I didn't like it that much but I'll leave it that way, I don't have anything more to add about it. I've noticed that the girls had their matching hair colors in them, among them, I Like Maimi's, I think it suits her well. I suggest they highlight Maimi's hair that way! Lol

Overall, the PV is FUN and CUTE! Just a typical HP PV and nothing new. I like the mature C-ute more and I hope that in their next single they do more of those things. And before I forget to mention, I think the line distribution is fair enough, everyone gets a decent line. Despite me being an Airi fan, I still don't like it when the others are just like back-ups. So thumbs up for another awesome single! Please support C-ute always!

here's some screen shots

"Gomenasai" is Buono's FIRST MOVIE!

Wow! After the recent announcement of an all-star C-ute and BK movie comes ANOTHER MOVIE and this time it will star Hello Project unit Buono!

Good news is that THIS is Buono's first movie as a group! So congratulations to them! on the other hand, this will be another HORROR movie! Well, I seriously don't get what's up with HP and the whole horror stuffs but what's important right now is that we get to see Buono star on a movie, *yes! another movie with Airi* >w<. It was also reported that they will be in charge of the movie's theme song!

The title of the movie is "Gomenasai" and it is adapted from a popular mobile horror story. Buono members; Suzuki Airi (C-ute), Tsugunaga Momoko (Berryz Kobou) and Natsuyaki Miyabi (Berryz kobou) will play as high school students who were dragged in a series of paranormal experiences.

Buono shares their thoughts for their breakthrough as an actress “We are astonished to think that all three of us would ever be featured in a movie.” They added, “We believe that the audience would be surprised at the last scenes of this work,”. Based on their statement the ending must be really something, so I'll be expecting some really big twists on the movie.

So, what do you think? Are you excited?

Watch Keitai Kanojo Movie with SUBS!

Airi has been in a horror movie called "Keitai Kanojo", and fans badly want to watch this with subs. So, since I found the movie with subs, I want to share it with you guys!
Big thanks to jedimastertruck of Airi n deshou?!, it help me guide myself to the links of the movie.
I still haven't watch it, since I'm a little bit busy of something.

Simply Buono!

Buono's latest PV has finally been released on their official Youtube channel and all I can say is that I love the new look in Buono. It's not the cool and rocking Buono that I knew, this one is more like the simple and innocent side of Buono!
The song?
I like the tune of the song, it's calm and soothing to hear. Unlike their previous songs that were more upbeat and pop-rock, this one has a different feel to it. And listening to it makes me remember happy summer memories with my friends and family. But it hasn't entirely grown to me yet, *still on the process*. Though I'm an Airi biased fan, it kills me to honestly say that I didn't exactly like her speaking parts, well it's my opinion and others will have their own opinion with that (gomene airi-chan T.T, I still love you and you're still my fave). And looking through the comments on the video, it seemed that some fans weren't that happy with Airi getting more lines than miya and momo. But here's the thing, IT'S NOT AIRI'S FAULT IF UFA/HP IS THROWING HER MORE LINES!!! OKAY?? SO STOP BLAMING HER! just grow up and stop complaining. I'm quite sure that their next single will have a new rotation.

The PV?
It goes well with the song, it's simple and it's fine for me considering the fact that Buono had a really expensive PVs from their previous singles. Mostly it features girls standing in front of a door while singing, scenes on couch, girls at the garden, watching the fishes on the acquarium and the usual close-ups and I don't have much things to say about it.

and before I end this article could I just say how gorgeous Miya is in this PV?

I mean look at her? She looks like a goddess/fairy! And her hairstyle is so FAB!

Kumai Yurina and Airi Suzuki To Star in a New Horror Movie!

It has just been announced that Berryz Kobou's Kumai Yurina and C-ute's Suzuki Airi will star in a suspense horror movie entitled "Oosama game", this is a popular cell-phone novel and this will be their first movie together!. It was said that the movie will be released this winter. Although, I'm not sure if this would be a high budget or a low budget movie but either ways I think this will be a good one since, it all members from both group will have appearances in the movie too and Yoshizawa Hitomi will represent Morning Musume!!!! *cheers to HP!*

Yurina will be playing the lead role of Honda Chiemi and Airi will be Honda's mysterious classmate, Iwamura Ria! Yurina confessed . "I’m definitely feeling the pressure. I get nervous standing in front of the camera. Movies are different from concerts and stage plays. You have to act in front of a camera. I struggled with that, but I did my best each day with the help of the cast and crew” . Yurina also admitted that everyone from both groups have been supportive of her.

As for Airi, who has just finished filming for Vampire Stories, had been preparing for her upcoming role by studying her character. She said “I heard that [my character] was a very mysterious person, so I spent time talking with the director and author about her facial expressions, unique way of talking, and so forth. That’s how I prepared for the role”

Producer Andrew Niwa-Tamon, known for his work in idol-centered dramas such as the ‘Keitai Deka‘ series explained that the reason why he chose both girls is that it's because of their "unique presence" although I don't exactly get what he mean by that. He also added “it wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that a masterpiece of high-school horror has been made”.

I'm really happy with this news and it's kinda funny because it would feature my favorite member from C-ute and as for Yurina, well, I used to hate her at first, but I don't hate her anymore =). It seems that HP has been starting to expand their experiences through HORROR movies *as always* and I hope that one day they could star the girls in dramas. I haven't seen Yurina acted yet so I'm really looking forward for this one and also because it would feature all members from BK and C-ute! So goodluck to everyone and do your best! We'll be waiting for the movie!

Suzuki Airi's Cover for Her New DVD "Kibun Tenkan"

Airi's new dvd cover is quite impressing.
She kept her cuteness and sexiness in one cover which is amazing. The DVD title means "Change of Mood". I think it means a new fresh start, a new beginning of a new theme. I just like how she pose, and so refreshing and just impressed me so much. I love the setting, it reflects perfectly for Airi's body figure.
Take note, don't forget to reserve your copies until july 10!

Happy 6th Year Anniversary C-ute!

Happy Anniversary to C-ute~!

I never thought that it's already 6 years since they were announced as a group. I'm glad that they're still active as they always used to. 

All of their songs from the very first song they released until now are still suiting their personality, and their image. Even the Ooki na Ai de motenashite song still suits them. I'm glad that they release songs that has their personality, it makes me fall in love with them even more. Honestly, I'm a veeerrryyy BIG fan of them. 

As for their anniversary today, a thought stroke in my mind, and wondered if I can make a poll for the next header with the C-ute theme, which is now approved.
So it's now decided, the next weekly poll will be C-ute, and this will be choosing your most favorite single of them. Also, it'll be the whole week's theme song for the blog. :)
So, please look forward for the surprises, and keep in touch for the future entries. :)

Happy 6th

Anniversary

C-ute!

Let's keep supporting C-ute!

Suzuki Airi's 7th PB "Oasis" Cover

The cover for Airi's PB called "Oasis" has been revealed!
As expected, the theme would be something with swimsuits. Airi seemed to be a little pale here, but I like how her facial expression shown. I would prefer a little more colorful swimsuit than just having a white swimsuit for the cover. It makes me feel a little blank, but it's still impressive
Don't forget to reserve your copy everyone!.

1. Suzuki Airi – “Keitai Kanojo” DVD 

 The DVD for the Japanese horror drama titled "Keitai Kanojo" where Airi's in has been announced. This announcement provides a cover and some screenshots of the drama. The cover features Airi and her co-star Seika Taketomi(who plays as a ghost) holding a mysterious mobile phone.As for th screen shots, it already thrill us and excite us to watch this movie.

The DVD will be released this April 6.


2. Yajima Maimi – “Black Angels” DVD

The DVD for Maimi's movie entitled "Black Angels" has been announced. This one as well was announced along with the cover and some screen shots. It's good to hear that many idols from H!P has been part of a movie.
The cover features Maimi wearing a pinkish japanese fighting outfit with some weapons on her leg, with her co-star in front of her. I love Maimi's expression and the way she shows her importance to the movie. The screen shots makes me thrill again. Maimi's fighting pose with her facial expression looks stunning as always.

Hopefully fans will have their copy for this DVD. This will be released this coming April 27.


3. C-ute – “Kiss Me Aishiteru” Full Preview

A full radio rip preview for "Kiss Me Aishiteru" has been released. The song has a mature and cool tone as what Chisa said when they announced about this single. I love the starting of the song, it has a unique melody. Many parts of the song are being echoed by each of the members such as "nee" and "please" around the chorus. Many unique touches has been added too like "love me" and "kiss me" which makes the song show their uniqueness. This song reminds me of Morning Musume "Egao Yes Nude", the outfits as well, since it's purple.
As for the outfits, they got a golden upper and a purple shorts. It has a great combination of colors.  The shoes used are catchy, for a girl like me.


This single will be released this coming February 23.

C-ute 15th Single "Kiss Me Aishiteru"

C-ute's 15th single has been announced several days ago, with the title and the release too. The single was entitled Kiss Me Aishiteru. It was announced from Chisato's post in C-ute's gree blog. According to her, this single will be more mature and cooler than their past single "Aitai Lonely Christmas"


I'm a little bit surprised when I heard that their 15th single has been announced not a month after the release of the last single, and it has a very catchy title for me, of course. As for the word cool, we can somewhat expect a little that this single will be more lively but has a mature tone than the last single, to say the least.

Kiss Me Aishiteru will be released this coming February 23, 2011.

Niigaki Risa, Tanaka Reina, Tsugunaga Momoko, Suzuki Airi, and Yajima Maimi have each released a cover

I'm so happy to hear that Gaki, Reina, Momochii, Airi, and Maimi released a cover of Morning Musume's subgroup Tanpopo song called "Seinaru kane ga Hibiku Yoru". I'm not really yet familiar to this song, so I tried to listen this song in Youtube and it's totally a great song. This one has a little theme of Christmas since the original PV of this song that I just watched has snowflakes, the members wearing red winter clothes, and also a white fluffy ones, ringing bells, and more things that describes the season of Christmas. I'm so excited to hear Gaki's cover (Gaki's voice suits to this song), and also the other's cover too. I hope Mai Hagiwara will have one too, and also Chisa and Nakky. I'm really excited their covers. Uhmm.. Hey wait! did Chisato released a cover in iTunes sometime ago? I can't remember the date it was released. The others said that it's her first own single released, but I think it is only a cover of an H!P song, I can't really remember what song it is. Oh, anyway,  it is already available in iTunes. I can't listen to the covers since I don't have iTunes, but to those who have.. Enjoy!

Here's the original PV of this song..
