[ikiNews] Kusumi Koharu's first solo song Koi * Kana (http://ikimasshoi.jphip.net/index.php/archives/259)

Koharuchan will sing both the opening and ending for a new idol-themed anime titled Kirarin*Revolution. A Koi * Kana (opening song) preview can be found at Page 2 thanks to tama-chan. So far, it's not planned to put her on a full soloist schedule.

According to this, Kusumi will be singing OP and ED to the anime series Kairin*Revolution.


Quote from: ikimasshoi
According to Sanspo and Sponichi, Kusumi Koharu, the newest Momusu (she’s the7th gen winner) known as Morning Musume Miracle Member, will be singing the opening and ending themes for a new anime named Kirarin * Revolution. And not only that, but she will also play the voice of the main character! Daily Sports reports the presentation.

The original manga has been released under Ciao, and has 5 volumes released. Author is Nakahara An.

Kirari is a junior high school girl who is beautiful but glutton girl. She happens to meet Hiwatari Seiji of a popular idol group, SHIPS, and fell in love with him. To fullfil her love, she became an idol. (Info from Animeinfo)

Hitomi Yoshizawa (leader of PucchiMoni, Gatas Brillhantes and Morning Musume) will also appear in the anime as herself!


Quote from: Vikitty
Koharu is recording the OP and ED for the anime. She's been in MoMusu for less then a year and she's already got a solo single planned.

:) Wow.. I think she has integrated into MM very well. IMO her looks seem to be improving 10 fold! (when she first joined, I thought 'meh', but after watching the sexy boy PV I thought *_* WOW, was that really Kusumi). She has matured a lot. GOOD LUCK KUSUMI!!!!!!!!!!

i don't think its really fair to say she's going solo... she's just doing a couple songs for another project. i don't think it's anything to get your panties in a bunch over...

I still (well, I didn't mention this at first, but anyway) find this piece of news so bizarre. Koharu out of all members getting a huge push like this! But it makes sense. She's FRESH, really cute, learns fast, and I guess UFA wants to prove she really is the miracle Tsunku promised. I love those pigtails :lol:

It's certainly interesting to see such things happen in H!P world.

I agree with you though. this really can't be classified as "going solo", it's just a side-project for her besides being in MM.

when I mentioned that rumour, sorry for being unclear, but I meant that it was rumoured someone was going to be a full-fledged soloist.

That's even better! Now we can expect another soloist who is not Koharu! :D

Koharu solo debut is only this: she's debuting in a song she sings solo.
So far, it's not planned to put her on a full soloist schedule.

Now, imagine that people likes it! And, you know that anime series change its OP and ED very frequently, lol. It's so great to do an anime about an idol boy group starring a girl who wants to become and idol girl just to be with the idol boy. News and Momusu fans reunited lol

CDJapan just put both editions on pre-order, and looks like DVD+Book for Limited Edition is confirmed! Just for additional 300 yen XD

Oh, I'm sorry, but I really hate both songs. Or not the songs, but Koharu's voice. She sounds completely amateur and her voice irks me. It sound sooo strained. I don't know, it's like listening to Rika when she first joined singing a solo song.

I still like Koharu, though, she's kinda cute. But she's not prepared at all to be a solo singer, IMHO.

Kirarin*Revolution is doing so well in ratings. Because of this, the anime got deals such a Tamagochi special release with Kirarin's pet, that dog, the McDondals promotion, and something else I've read but I don't remember :p

And now this! http://www.ciao.shogakukan.co.jp/news/index.html
According to Jaci85 at JPM: "a Kira*Rebo contest for girls a bit further down called the "Kirarin*Girl Contest 2006". It says that you can win a chance to record a CD, debut as a Seiyuu, and be a Model for Ciao. Details are in the June issue". Wai Wai !! Maybe this anime is the key to make the idol world cool again. And of course, the other News are the title: Koha-chan will attend, onstage, at the World Hobby fair on June 17th. You're a miracle Kohachan !!!

Now this is not about the covers being pretty... but being totally cheap.

Wow,  I'm actually a little surprised to see Koharu doing so well...

I guess the anime was a good idea after all.

But I did love her energy and smile. The perf made me think she's perfect for a hyper idol, for she never seems sad or tired, and not really even nervous. And yeah, she was very, very cute ^o^

hmmm... it's not like H!P greatest hits were adult and mature songs... at all.
Jan Ken Pyon, Chokotto Love, Love Machine, Happy Summer Wedding, The Peace! etc...

You could say Japan was/is really kiddish in music taste. That's what made MM and H!P big in the first place.

She's also "on" 24/7.

She's an idol , and that's what she wants to be.

She's 100% genuine. She's also very tall already and has the great leg length.

Imagine how she'll look in two years.

Some of the other girls are idols only when the camera is on.
Aibon smoking and such.. but koharu is slightly strange as she
IS the idol all the time.

She's like a younger ogura yuko, and you know the japanese like
them younger, younger, younger...

I think I started to like her when she was teamed up with Iida for a
scavenger hunt in a wildlife / amusement park. She casually grabbed
iida's hand and started walking with her. Iida's face was so priceless, she
had this look of disbelief for a few seconds until she realized koharu was just
being *koharu*. She doesn't let anyone stop her from ebing happy.

I mean, she even made the guy on Oha-star chuckle a bit at her
enthusiasm, and that show is nutjob happy preteen village...

No I'm not!!

Compare Koi Kana's sales to 22sai no watashi and if she beats that, THEN start calling her a "miracle".

Just pisses me off she's constantly compared to Nacchi even if the two are on TOTALLY DIFFERENT PARTS OF THEIR CAREER. I'll be impressed if Koharu still sells 1000 copies 8 years from now.

She's not compared to Nacchi :p Nacchi and the others have an awesome career of gorgeous singles, Koha has none. Just mentioned both Single V were out on the same day lol I still prefer the other soloists to Koha. The point of this all is what romi said: kids need their idol too. Nacchi, Maki and Ayaya are already targeted and trying to expand to more people by a more mature image. Now Koharu might take the "cute songs" tag and release Koi no Tph Goal, Yeah Meccha... songs styles. I'd be ok with it. After all, we all know that Maki, Nacchi and Ayaya can make bigger sales with a fucking good because their fanbase is bigger. Koharu's still growing hers.

It's obviously that the release date has a lot do to with it. Nacchi debuting when Maki did would have mean more sells for her. Koharu debuting when Nacchi did would have been more sells for her. It's all bout the popularity and sales of the girls at the moment of the release. Considering this Koharu did a pretty big job. UFA should definitely relate her career to kids now she's still young and pure.

It's easier to be a opening anime to sell well really :P

Word, especially if it's a kids' anime. :lol:

Kids nag for the CD -> Parents have no other choice -> Profit!

miracle my you know where....
let's see if she can get a #1 single.....if my memorial didn't fool me, Maki is the only H!P solo artist who has a #1 single....



Now we all know that that isn't really possible!

As much as a lot of people love Koha, we are in a different time from when Maki and others were capable of slogging out No.1s...

Seriously, not even MM are getting No.1s ATM

For the time that we are in ATM for H!P, Koharu is doing exceptionally well! It's not about the past, it's about what is happening now and you are all being bitter that Koharu is selling more than the big guns.

Personally, I think that it's great because H!P is actually making money from her! XD

People are comparing her to Nacchi? What?

That would be like comparing Maimai to Aya.

And as much as I love Maimai, Aya is still better.

I'm not feeling bitter but I hate it when people dissing elder MoMusu members.  Without their hard work to establish the foundation, Morning Musume wouldn't still be around today.

There is nobody dissing golden gen!~ There is much love for golden gen, but  like I said before, there is no need to live in the past! Live for the present and the future! ^^

I remember Tsunku going to Koharu's house for the audition, and now I can imagine a big pajama party in that house with Koharu friends congratulating her lol

FIRST WEEK
--- > 08 > 08 > 10 > 13 >
13 > 13

SECOND WEEK
16 > 33 > 33 > 30 > 23 > 19 > 23

THIRD WEEK
23 > 36 > 41 > 37 > 36 > 33 > 35

FOURTH WEEK
 36 > ?? > ?? > ?? > ?? > 42 > 42

And the goddess resurrected the quarter week... :bow:

Nothing works better than an anime attachement :rolleyes: I think fourth week numbers are enough to sell over 500 copies, so she'd have sold over 30,000 already and would still be charting.

GReat!
if she keeps selling in this pace she can easily reach 35k!!
And i think anime attachement does sell a bit better, but ofcourse being dependant on how popular the anime is.
some H!P songs i remember that were attached with anime:
Tanpopo - Last kiss
Berryz Koubou - 100 gag
Minimoni- minihamuzu singles
.......
argh can't think of others at moment

YATTA! Koharu pwnz j00 all!

Biyuden's Ajisai Ai Ai Monogatari was also tied-up with anime, but it was so bad that fansub groups haven't even finish subbing it XD The title of that masterpiece is パタリロ西遊記! (Patalliro Saiyuki):

I'm so proud of Koharu. When I have more money I'll be adding the Single and Single V to my collection one day.

Other anime-attached songs I remember:
Berryz's Nanchuu Koi wo Yatteruu YOU KNOW was the ending theme for Patalliro Saiyuki anime. I downloaded it and was horrified such great songs were the opening and ending song for that horrid creation.

Also along with Tanpopo's Last Kiss, Tsunku himself had quite a few other things going with the Orphen series. Sharan Q actually did songs for it, and Orphen Revenge had three more for it:
"Marui Taiyou" by Taiyou to Cisco Moon
"Love, Yes I Do" by Chinatsu Miyoshi
"Amai Anata no Aji" by Melon Kinenbi

Thanks men0 at jpm for the update!Koharu doubles first week sales! MM is not doing it since HHJ (released on 2003/02/19), other H!P acts never did it, and those who did date around 2000 or 2001. Koharu is awesome! I hope all this new people buying her cd lately go and buy the second single on its first week. That'd be OMG. Now two or three weeks more, and 40K is here :D

The last Morning Musume single to double its first week sales was Morning Musume no Hyokkori Hyoutanjima. The last H!P act to double its first week sales was Minimoni though with Mirakururun Grand Purin!.

HHJ yeah! Thanks! I think I posted Shabondama because it was the one I was listening lol Corrected. As for Minimoni... I dind't post it because it's one of their Minihamuzu special releases. Not counting them, as I did, we have to travel back and back in time and look for Yuko and Ayaya. The whole point is: Koharu rules. :D

I think in addition to the obsessed wota buyers there are more casual Kirarin*Revolution watching buyers, thus extending the sales over a longer period. The single is also cleverly marketed. There is the tie-in with the anime, Koharu's appearances at Oha Star  (including a mini drama about Kirari wanting to get a CD release) and a karaoke toy thing featuring the song. It all helps and it shows who the potential buyers of today are: kids.

Just curious... in terms of number of untis sold... Goto never reached 37K for sales volume on her singles?  I would think of Goto as the bread earner for revenue for H!P.  Either her or Ayaya since they seem like the most popular.  Anyways, just curious, not trying to stomp on Koharus parade or anything.

Latest and probably last update on her numbers. New total of 38,650. :D She's now out of the Top200, a must-be for your sales to count. Within the time, she'll probably reach 40K, but we will never know it unless she goes back to the Top200... :rolleyes: By the way, 3rd best selling H!P single this year. (So far)
