Whaaaaaaat? I wonder if UF* saw how great the sales for the single were and said "ALBUM. NOW."

I'm super excited, though. Hope we get another earworm or two!

Not so much "album now" as "tour now". In order to have a proper tour, they need to have their own catalog of songs, and releasing those songs as an album is really just a way of recovering the production costs.

H!P routinely operates like this, at least with the younger groups. MM are the exception now, but they set the rule way back when: they used to release a new album almost every year and then go on tour to perform that album. I remember the Rainbow Seven album/tour in particular, because it was around that time when I became a fan. Now MM's catalog is so huge, there's not as much need for them to produce new songs. Thus, fewer albums in recent years.

Limited A. Gotta get that Blu-ray.

I hope we get a few extra MVs. That would be nice.

Strike while the iron is hot.

Today on Hello! Station, in a follow-up to last week's Hello! Station announcement of their 1st album...staff also told BEYOOOOONDS that "CHICA#TETSU", "Ame no Mori Kawa Umi", and "Hirai x Satoyoshi x Kobayashi" units are also getting their own new songs on the album. That is 3 new songs out of the 17 or 18 planned.

They might want to take this opportunity to give this trio an actual unit name.
