Nakajima Takui will release self-covers of "Adrenaline Dame" (Tsubaki) and "Kuyashii wa" (ANGERME) and a new song "Tte Iinagara", on Jan. 29th. His first self-cover release since becoming independent from Upfront

The new song, "Tte Iinagara" is a dance number that I created by putting everything I learned from being allowed to write for Hello Pro.

I wish this would mean more music releases per year per group, especially with another group coming eventually, but it probably doesn't and I shouldn't get my hopes up. Maybe we'll see in time...

That is Taisei's job, so he's advertising for either a deputy or a replacement. Or, most likely, the former to become the latter.

They need more blood in the director pool. Now with a VERY active M-Line, I feel like the releases have suffered a lot. I hope they are expanding the team and not simply it being a case of Taisei moving on.

I'm hoping this too. Surely they have to know fans aren't particularly happy with the ever lessening number of releases per year? Momusu has become so stale for me having only 1 single/year, and I'm sure Biyo fans feel that too. I feel like I barely know 16th/17th gens.

Taisei is only 54, so hopefully it's more a matter of getting another person in there to help produce for the growing list of active artists. I mean, maybe he wants to move on to other ventures, but I certainly can't see someone as young as he is going into retirement so early.
