I'm a harsh mistress when ti comes to dishing out reviews so...
Awesome
- Niigaki Risa: Happy Girl - One of my fave H!P PB's evar, I wasn't overwhlemed by Risa's previous ones so she's outdone herself here.
Good
- Resonant Blue - Good,but only just stopped from falling into the "alright" catergory. I still don't know what I think of it yet but I do find myself listening to it very rarely now.
- Namida no Iro - Big step up for C-ute imho, usually I'm not a fan of their stuff at all but their latest album and this single have made me take more notice of them.
- Anataboshi - The image couldn't have fitted the celtic style fo the songany less than it does but that adds to its charm, so close to being pure awesomeness but just lackinga little something I felt.
- Kamei Eri: ERI (Complete Works) - I wasn't expecting much new stuff from this so I was pleasantly surprised, granted a lot of the shots were very similar to previous ones but they were still dayum hot.
Alright
- Tsunku's twins were born - Good news of course, but I can't help but feel sorry for the kids...
- Kago Ai returning to public eye - Amazing to see Aibon back, but an actress? Singing pl0x.
- Nannimo Iwazu ni I LOVE YOU - I likes it as the arrangement definitely makes it more Viyudenish than the original but still, would have preferred an original song.
- Okitegami - Could have been so so much better, but any sign of Miki's return is still cool.
Not so nice
- Coconuts Musume's Ayaka graduating from H!P to focus on acting - She's been inactive in terms of actual releases for so long that this gets saved from being "shit", that, plus the fact I'm sure she'llbe much happier doing whatever the hell she wants.
- High King - Here simply because I still dunno what it is properly (members etc) all I know is it's something to do with the Cinderella musical. I am curious though.
Shit
n/a
Don't care
- Viyuden Single V Clips 2 ~Arigato Biyuden Debut kara no Daizenshu~ - I'm not gonna be buying it and I've seen most of the vids before, meh.
- SI☆NA- I know very little about the eggs so for the moment at least this means nothing to me.
- H!P Egg/Ongaku Gatas member Mutou Mika retiring to continue normal high school life - Who?
On the whole
but Happy Girl was a big plus.
