Now that we know what the name means I think it suits them well. But I don't really like it. :P

My reading's not very good but I'm totally switched off at work at the moment and looking for distraction so... Please excuse me... :oops:

In summary, the article basically heralds the formation of the strongest special unit in H!P history. Formed by Nacchi, Gocchin, Rika and Ayaya, the quartet will be known as DEF. DIVA ( the supreme songstress ). The name was picked to distinguish the group from the other idol units in existence ( they are a cut above the rest ). The yet untitled single's due for release on 19 October.

The title of the single will be called: 好きすぎてバカみたい ("Suki sugite baka mitai")

not sure what the meaning is, but something like "I'm so in love with you, I look foolish"

I'm looking forward to the work this group is giving just as you guys are. But I'm worrying if Rika's voice will actually fit into the other three's voice (a.k.a Nochiura Natsumi) base on singing performance.

Somehow I feel the song melody will change from fast ----> slow (or very slow), again this is based on comparison between Nochiura Natsumi and Def. Diva

May I remind everyone that this is NOT Nochiura Natsumi ni Ishikawa Rika. Rika has worked with these people in other groups before. If they make the song right there is no reason for her voice not to fit in. I doubt they would put the biggest names in H!P into a song that wouldn't benefit the whole group.

Now I'm really hoping for something r&bish. Suki sugite baka mitai sounds like one! Or a ballad, but I hope they understand that people are bored to ballads. And since NUN was upbeat... this HAS to be like, say, Shall we love. Or so I hope. ^_^ Yay for this group anyway.

Oh, I was wondering... If some programs/tv channels are still stubborn and angry at Nacchi and won't take her in some programs, could they not take Def. Diva? That would suck.

I didn't mean putting Rika into Nochiura Natsumi, is just how I feel that Rika's singing style is different than the other threes. That's why I said the singing style will change based on the comparison between Nochiura Natsumi and Def. Diva.

Interesting song title, it sounds like a ballad but I like R&B tracks too and in this case I don't think those 4 should ballad x.x....R&B would sound better.

Tsunku talking about DEF. DIVA:

デフディバと読んでください。

さて、ここ数年「ごまっとう」「後浦なつみ」といった流れで
スペシャルユニットを結成してまいりましたが、どれも3名で行ってきました。

しかし、今年は「更なるお得感をお客様に感じて頂こう!」というコンセプトの元、
4名で行うことにいたしました。

あ、遅くなりました、平素よりご愛顧賜りありがとうございます!
さて、石川梨華もモーニング娘。を卒業いたしまして、美勇伝を盛り上げてくれております。
そんな石川梨華を加えた、モーニング娘。の卒業生安倍なつみ、後藤真希、
そして、松浦亜弥でDEF.DIVAです。

DEF.= 〔形〕《俗》最高の,いかす[definitiveの短縮形]
DIVA= 〔名〕(オペラの)主役女性歌手;プリマドンナ.[イタリア語]
と言う意味があって、英語とイタリア語の合体なんで、まあ造語です。
(アメリカではDIVAはちょっとニュアンスが少し違うようです)

コンセプトは「健気に見せて実は気の強いDIVAS」 彼氏にふられそうな瞬間。
一瞬たじろいで、そのままいい女風情で立ち去ろうとするが、
実際には、「後ろ髪惹かれたおしてる」感じがするイメージです。

バックトラックですが、曲中に何度も極端な転調を行っております。
精神的な場面転換をクラシカルなイメージでガンガン転調していきました。
楽曲の最後にさらに高揚する精神を表現するために転調もしてあります。

いい女というものは本来1秒ごとに気が変わったりするもんで、
そんな、「いい女感」が、この転調によって表現できればと思い、制作しました。
歌唱も4人の個性がぶつかりあって、新鮮な新しい作品になりました。

どうか、お客様も彼

Tsunku's thoughts? Just what is that guy thinking all the time?

Please read it as Def Diva. [it makes much more sense in japanese.]

Well, for these several years we had 3 people special formations, such as Gomattou, and Nochura Natsumi.

However, this year, returning to the concept of recieving more of the audiences feelings [??? don't take this line seriously, cuz i don't get it.] we go with 4 people.

Ah, a bit late, but thank you for your patronage in the past.
Well, Ishikawa Rika graduated from Morning Musume and Viyuden is on the rise. Including Ishikawa Rika, Morning Musume graduate Abe Natsumi and Goto Maki, and Matsuura Aya, they form Def Diva.

Def = [shape] the most stylish (shorten form of definitive)
Diva = [name] (Opera's) leading female singer; Prima donna (Italian)
With those meanings, the coined word combines English and Italian.
(There's a slight difference in nuance of diva in America)

The concept is the moment that "the showing bravery and strength the Divas giving cold shoulder to their boyfriends.
Faltering for a moment, they depart with an appearance of the good women, but really, its like an image of being captivated by the back of their head.

It's the backtrack, but in the song, there are many times the key changes drastically. The soulful scene converts from a classical image to an intense change in keys. The end of the tune, and futhermore, to express the mind,  it also changes keys.

A women usually changes her mind in one second, so I think this piece is able to express the women's feelings by the changing keys. The individuality of the 4 singers also goes against each other, so it becomes a fresh new work.
