Haro Pro Maruwakari BOOK ~2010 Natsu~


It looks like H!P will have a book collaboration with BLT! It is set to be released August 27th. That's just two days after Dance de Bakoon! is released!

Everyone, please try to buy a copy to support Hello! Project and °C-ute! They need and deserve all of the support they can get!

It will probably be magazine-like and there will be group pictures of the entire of H!P in it! I can't wait for that!

There will be 36 pages. Each member will be asked interview questions such as "Who do you most want to be in a unit with?" and their answers should be interesting! I can't wait!

Kore Ijou Kirawaretakunai no Radio Preview!

YES! A radio preview for Kore Ijou Kirawaretakunai no, the B-side of Dance de Bakoon!, has been released! The title translates to "I Don't Want Anymore Hate". I'll be writing what I think about it as I listen.



It's a very up-beat and pretty fast song, which I didn't expect from the title. The line distribution is nice as well! Not to mention the chorus is catchy. Everyone's voices really blend together well and they sing as a group more than on the A-side, it seems. Maimi's voice sounds really nice here, her voice suits the song. Airi sounds nice as always, and Chisato, Mai and Saki sound equally great! I noticed more Saki in this than usual. Everyone's vocal quality is superb. It's a more typical, poppy song than the A-Side. I do really like the beginning of the bridge, it's nice and a little bit unique and unexpected. It really is a quite typical H!P B-Side, though. Like I said, it's pretty poppy. But it's still nice and catchy.

Dance de Bakoon! Official Tracklist


The official tracklist for Dance de Bakoon! has been revealed! HOORAH~

  1. Dance de Bakoon! (Dance With a Smash!)
  2. Kore Ijou Kirawaretakunai no (I Don't Want Anymore Hate)
  3. Dance de Bakoon! (Instrumental)
Now, I saw this already on the H!P wikia, but it wasn't confirmed yet until now. The first and third tracks aren't a surprise, as obviously we already knew the title of the a-side and °C-ute always has an instrumental version of the a-side.

Anyways, the title of the b-side surprised me. "I Don't Want Anymore Hate"? It sounds like an uplifting song, and something different than °C-ute has ever done. I'm really looking forward to it, anyhow.

Mai Hagiwara's Digital Book


It looks like Mai Hagiwara will have a digital book next month! No further information has been revealed yet.

Dance de Bakoon! Cover Preview


Looks like one of Dance de Bakoon!'s covers was shown by Maimi Yajima on a UStream broadcast! It hasn't been revealed yet which edition the cover previewed is for, though.

I like it, it's different than their past covers. :) I also like the black-and-white theme going on, and the text is so pretty.

What do you guys think about it?

Dance de Bakoon! Radio Preview

YAAAAY! A radio preview of Dance de Bakoon! Can't get better than this, can it? Well, until a preview of the PV and the HQ version is out... 25th of August, everyone.



The intro is awesome! I love the "cha cha cha, cha cha cha cha" parts. I found myself nodding my head throughout most of it, which is good! This is a bit more fierce than Campus Life (and fierce is what the girls do best), much better line distribution than SHOCK! (so much Chisa!) and the dance is said to be intense. Can't wait to learn it.

It's not as fierce as FOREVER LOVE or Namida no Iro, but I still like it. Not my favorite, but the best overall since FOREVER LOVE, in my opinion. I'm not great at picking out voices, but the main singers seem to be Airi, Maimi, and Chisa. :D GO GO CHISA! GO GO CHISA!

Overall, catchy song and from what I've heard... it really does have a dance with a smash! as the title suggests. Again, can't wait for the PV. :D
