Usaa's Weekly Review 17-30 Dec'11

Sorry, it's been a while

hope everyone had a nice christmas^^

these are in random orders xD

Kikkawa Yuu

Konna Watashi de Yokkatara

I love the puppet scenes its cute, the editing of PV makes it more interesting, but I don't like the 'white' scenes where she's in the white dress with a beige background, it's really plain, and since the song mentions dance a bit, I think she coulda had a cooler dance

7.5/10

Mano Erina

Glory Days

the pictures are nice, I didn't like the autotune thing at the beginning. the song isn't too bad, but sorry I just don't like her singing voice

6/10

Morning Musume

Pyoko Pyoko Ultra

...I was speechless watching this...

I really don't like their costumes, the worst part are the things they have on their hands, its so awkward

I mean couldn't they have got a better costume designer?

and couldn't they have another (more sensible and appealing) costume as well, like Berryz in Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance

and the song isn't that interesting

the PV looks amateurish, especially the fake blue sky...

this single reallly doesn't sell it for me

and when they're moving their heads left and right...thats more scary than cute to me, especially when you can't see their bodies, looks like they're just a moving head

4.5/10

Hello!Stop

Mano Erina's 1st album is called 'FRIENDS'

2nd album is called 'MORE FRIENDS'

and now 3rd album is called 'MORE FRIENDS OVER'

..........

LOL

can they not think of any better names? I think my suggestion, 'Even More Friends' sounds better than their 3rd album name

the first name is ok

but second and third are just silly

C-ute's 7th album tracklist~

1. Momoiro Sparkling
2. Hitorijime Shitakatta Dake na no ni
3. Ike! Genki-kun (Hagiwara Mai solo)
4. Sekaiichi HAPPY na Onna no ko
5. ZUNTAKA MARCH ~Hitorashiku Ikiyou~
6. Tokai no NEON ga Odoroku Kurai no Utsukushisa ga Hoshii (Okai Chisato solo)
7. Kagayake! Houkago (Nakajima Saki solo)
8. Shiawase no Tochuu
9. Amazuppai Haru ni Sakurasaku (Original Berikyuu Ver.)
10. Seishun Gekijou (C-ute Ver.)

I'm happy that Chisa, Nakki and Mai have solos!

this sounds interesting

hope Berryz give out solos in their new album *cough*Miyabi*cough*

Buono's Hatsukoi Cider will be the ending theme song for Happy MUSIC during January

Yatta! congrats buono! it's a good song

hopefully this gives buono more exposure so they can get more recognition~

Usaa's Weekly Review 3-9 Dec'11

Mano Erina - Doki Doki Baby

haven't seen Mano's PV in a while

I really like the PV! I always love outdoor ones

or where theres more than just close up and dance shots

even though she was just window shopping, the scenes were really pretty

but what's with the red bow and blue dress? clash!

but I think she looks pretty here, and its nice that they did something else with the hair

I'm not a great fan of the song though

and she's in her twenties ne

I think its babyish giving her these cutesy songs...

I wish they could let her grow more, but I know her fans probably like these type of songs =.=

and I still think her voice needs a lot of improving, since she's a solo singer

if she was in a group it wouldn't matter as much.

7/10 for single

8.5/10 for PV

Kikkawa Yuu - Kon na wastashi de Yokattara

the expressions at the beginning are cute!

tbh I didn't get a great impression from her first single

but here, she shows off her voice a lot more

and the song is interesting

there's not much colour in the PV but I quite like her outfit

in one of the shots it looks like she's in the middle of loads of shower cubicles xD

8/10

I have to say it's very cutesy

but I quite like it

like Ayaka and Meimi's lines at the start, the 'koto yuu' bits are really cute

I like the tune at the beginning up to the 'yeahh~'

the PV has a story which is always nice, and it actually relates to the title

but I didn't think much of the dance, and it seems like their skirts got in the way of their actions too

I prefer this single to Tachiaagaru, but I still think this is a silly single name xD

why do they have to bring up miniskirts in everything? Is it not enough that they wear one all the time?

also I do think there should be more shots of Yuuka, as its her last single sadly.

there voices are still too cutesy for me, but apart from that the score is

8/10

I think there should be a rule that, for members last PV, they should get to be the center!

cause I understand why they might not get lots of lines cause when they leave other people have to cover it, but for the PV it won't matter if they get a bit more screentime. It'll make fans happier too.


Mobekimasu - Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku
there have been more versions of the pv released
but my fave ver is...

lots of awkward moments lol as they try to get screen time
love miya's wink
8/10
the dance shot is good too

Hello!Stop
Ok for some short news now!

the mother of h!p is getting married!

congrats Nakazawa Yuko!

wish you a happy marriage^^
10/10

I'm excited for this, love the old gen!
9/10

100/10

wow H!P in every categoryy

go Airi! though I think she should be further up that list

with a few other H!P members xD

from things like this I think Airi is the most popular H!P member

she is incredibly popular

xD; I think lots of women despise Sayumi, she has a large male fanbase

and Kikkawa Yuu

tbh I don't know much about her, but I think it's nice there's another solo artist

though I don't think her debut song was that catchy, plus they give her things which look too young for her I think, should give her more mature songs maybe

there's a loot of AKB people up theree

as a H!P fan I think it's sad that there's only 1 in the most loved but 6 AKB

though I know this is only one list

it's funny that Itano Tomomi is in all three lists xD

and yay for Ayase Haruka~

I know her from watching the drama 'Tatta Hitotsu no Koi' with Kame from KAT TUN

such a sweet drama <3

I found it out from this random video about drama's cute couples I think and I saw Kame and Haruka, then I only knew Kame but I thought Haruka looked really pretty so I gave it a try xD

and Toda Erika is in that drama too

apart from like 5 others I don't really recognize anyone else from the list
