OMG the title! 「 ☆☆☆ 」 I love that lol. It's very original

The pronunciation of the title is Mitsuboshi (みつぼし) according the Up-Front Works discography entry: http://www.up-front-works.jp/discography/zetima/102/a_01/index.html

Now THAT makes much more sense than having to call it 'Star Star Star' or something

I thought they were always talking about a giraffe??/!!!
which didnt make much sence to me, giraffe revolution, and i never seen any giraffe or giraffe print.....
but then again its japan, and they are all crazy like that.
maybe it was an underlying ploy to sell beer to children.

Kirarin

What a weird thing to put three stars to an album and then came up on how the pronunciation is. People who doesn't read the official site or sees the cm will keep seeing and saying hoshi hoshi hoshi

lol the title makes so much more sense now!
kya~ I love it!

02.28 Kusumi's ☆☆☆
02.28 A BEST 2 (Ayumi Hamasaki)
03.14 BEST～BOUNCE & LOVERS～ (Koda Kumi)
03.28 AI am BEST (Ai Otsuka)

Just read aedon's post about a new Koda best. While I don't see Avex's unique interest in beating down Kirari, all these Best albums could have been scheduled any other day any other time because none of them was a must-release now. Avex is not at the risk of saturate their own market releasing three bests albums in a two-week difference from each other, but also at the risk of helping their rivals, aka H!P and Kirari. Our dear little star target are kids. Avex's Best focus on adult people. People going out for Avex Bests might end up buying Kirari as well. Singles will buy it for a little brother, a nephew... and couples will buy Kirari for their children. There ya go Avex, there ya go.

LOL I guess this is the true battle with Ayumi Hamasaki, then. I don't know how much Hamasaki sells these days, so I can't really say anything (if she still sells a lot, then I'm super proud if Koharu sells 1/3 of it). But I'm happy if the Kirari album sells more than the singles, cuz that's how it's "supposed" to be. At least comparing Koi*Kana and Balalaika's sales, there are still kids who don't have Koi*Kana and might wanna get this album. We'll see

I hope it gets pimped properly

Koharu's album?!!!!

Actually, knowing that her other single was a good seller, Tsunku wouldn't miss the opportunity to make more money off of another album

ガンバレ、コハルチャン！

With Ayu's sales the way they are now, I expect around 400-700k at the least for her BEST album. Dunno which one though.

I hope they pimp it in popular squares in Tokyo. Like Yuna Ito who is in three giant TVs in Shibuya and has giant balloons as well.

Excuse the double post but if I edit people who already checked wouldn't notice :p

New artist pic for Kirarin starring Kusumi

Gettin' rid of the baby face and the cute pigtails... for a kids CD?

Wavy hair, adult sight, wise pose, and a pretty white dress... She got influences from Shimatani and Yuna Ito

She looks nice

Man she's so pretty! That hair style looks good for her.

For a while I thought she was 35

takashi12 · « **Reply #57 on:** January 30, 2007, 05:31:35 PM »

^ LOL yeah she does look a lot older than she seems.. but shes still cute and all

yokoso · « **Reply #58 on:** January 30, 2007, 05:34:34 PM »

She looks FANTASTIC there.

I get the impression the 'tsukushima kirari' is a clever excuse for her to have a solo album and still appeal to both audiences. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a mix of classic H!P style and fun kids' songs. I ended up preordering it in good faith (I'm hoping the tracklist doesn't disappoint ;;;; )

Linus · « **Reply #59 on:** January 30, 2007, 06:18:23 PM »

(1.)恋☆カナ
(2.)ＳＵＧＡＯ－ｆｌａｖｏｒ
(3.)バラライカ
(4.)水色メロディ
(5.)恋花火
(6.)Ｌｏｖｅだよ☆ダーリン
(7.)
(8.)
(9.)
(10.)

This is the tracklist from Club Japan, but I actually hope it has more
