[9/4] C-ute album - ⑧ Queen of J-POP

[321BreakinOut]

Chisato looks amazing IMO. I feel like they found her glam style that suits her

[stam4o]

I like them all. At first glance it looks like some heavy-fashion but not that much, seems a bit fresh-looking too.
It's very extravagant, yes it is, but I guess it's to show they've reached a cool and unique style.

Ugh, I can't believe this comes out next week and there's been no other song previews other than that Bagel song. Hopefully this album doesn't turn out to be crappy like pretty much every other C-ute/Berryz album and actually continues their amazing streak.

That's not good. They need to promote this more...

[jinqin321]

Well it is what it is.

There's no promotion going on and it's a quiet release.
Maybe it's just a filler album so that they can have a couple of new songs to perform during the fall tour.

I do look forward to their next single more and hopefully H!p will promote that one.

Anyway one of the new songs is playing on the radio now so we should have the preview soon.

[wotakubrandon]

H!P singles just started selling well. I can wait for the albums to catch up lol.

[knuddel]

thats not really a good ninki poll ;_;

[Nono]

That ninki is pretty disappointing BUT their Shin Seinaru best album didn't even make the ninki chart and it ended up being the highest selling H!P album since 2007. I'm hoping for a top 10 weekly rank and long chart life.

Tsunku's comments on the album songs
http://ameblo.jp/tsunku-blog/entry-11591315778.html
- "Queen of J-POP" because he wants for people all over the world who are interested in Japan, to look at it and find out who C-ute are.
- The theme of the album is "life-sized coolness."
- Rather than cutesy songs that has been on previous albums, he decided just to go with songs for C-ute that are as they are now.

- "Nichiyoubi wa daisuki yo:" A song about an average Sunday and how sometimes it's just okay to do nothing even if everyone around us do. Sung by all.
- "Abiru hodo no ai wo kudasai:" Sung by all, but center is Okai. A song about how it's difficult to figure out what it means just to be a "good girl." Some guys say they like seeing a girl eat properly/a lot while they at the same time go asking if the girl is okay while she's actually having a big meal. It's a song with a rock feel.
- "Watashi ga honki wo dasu yoru:" Sung by all, but center is Nakajima. A country song with a rock-arrangement and pop-feel. Very uptempo and is sure to get one fired up during lives. A bright song that goes very well with Nakajima and is very C-ute-like.

He didn't write which one is Yajima center.... lol.

it sounds like Maimi is the one featured in Nichiyoubi wa daisuki yo
