Damn just like that: song, covers, tracklist, new song preview. All at once.
Blu-ray has a concert included so that's a no-brainer for me.

Homa-chan just keep growing. Heels or no heels, she's clearly the tallest now.
Meat-based diet at work.

I was waiting for them to make another album, part of me was really excited to see if they would do another Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari, seems that’s not the case this time oh well. I’m still super excited for the album, it seems everything is getting released in March.

Ren’ai Destiny sounds the closest to what we heard in the preview yes?

I like how they are still doing songs in smaller groups so we can listen more to certain members (depending on which song)
I’m honestly not surprised that Maachan, Yokoyan and Mei are paired together for their song. It just fits (there’s Nonaka too but I thought she was gonna be grouped with Ayumi or Kaede)
I’m intrigued with the pairing of Fukumura, Maria, Akane and Rio specifically.
And curious with the other 6 how that’s going to sound, but overall excited to hear possibly more of Ikuta and Ayumin on their own as well as Kaede, Homatan and Chii (Oda being one of the main trio is already shining as she is)

Nakimushi My Dream looks like it could be a sequel to My Vision but that’s yet to be seen yes?


I like the new profiles too but... is Frilly outfits specifically going to be Homatan’s thing like Gaki with her pigtails?

Homa-chan just keep growing. Heels or no heels, she's clearly the tallest now.

And it's all leg. She's not long-waisted, like tall members tend to be.

I like the new profiles too but... is Frilly outfits specifically going to be Homatan’s thing like Gaki with her pigtails?

She's the new princess character, since Makino is growing out of it and Fukumura is due to graduate (or go on hiatus, or whatever Tsunku recommended for her). She has the face, voice, and personality for it, so why not?

C'mon, now you're just showing off.

Hmm I’m not saying like it’s a bad thing, I just merely realised and noticed through the ballad concerts and the recent single (Gyuu Saretai Dake nano ni specifically) that her outfits mostly have frills and wondered if that’s just part of her idol character being built just like Mei with panda-san and Rio being a strong presence type.
