Author Topic: °C-ute's first album? (Read 40970 times)

According to this site http://www.up-front-works.jp/mobile-iro.html, °C-ute's debut song will be out for mobile dl on 26th this month.
(Look for ℃-ute デビュー曲)

And they will be an opening act in MM concert at Saitama Super Arena on May 6th & 7th.
(http://www.helloproject.com/schedule/01/02/list/list-morning.html)

So maybe they'll debut soon in May or June and it'll be announced at the SSA?

This might spice things up for me a bit, but I'm not sure if they're ready. Maybe it's because I still have problem with Chisato, Mai and Nakajima being in the group. :/

It'd be cool if C-ute finally debuted, cuz I love the members!!

I agree about the little ones, though. I just think there's too much variation in the group (someone like Erika and someone like Nakajima in the same group? It's just weird). Even if the Berryz have age and height difference too, they all look good together. With C-ute, I'm not too sure about it. OR maybe it's because I can't help but think with the current line-up C-ute would be just 'the members who weren't picked for Berryz', so it'd feel like a left-over group instead of a group worth battling Berryz. Agh I guess that doesn't make any sense.

I think its probably true and I'm looking forward to a junior version of SakuraGumi vs OtomeGumi
In fact I still feel it a bit weird in the current line-up, some eldest kid with some youngest. howeve compared with V6, its totally ok

ºC-ute had two original songs performed at concerts but never released. Now, a third song sees the light in the new Nintendo DS' game Densetsu no Staffi 4 commercial. It can be listened in the official page. At the end of the CM, the most recent picture of ºC-ute is shown. Some people say that this third original song from the group might be the debut single. Who knows, who knows...

What song will be their debute song ? Wakyanai Z ?

tamatron · « **Reply #5 on:** April 19, 2006, 07:41:38 PM »

No idea, T. I think it won't be Wakkyanai, coz if it was, they'd just say the title on that site. I don't think it's Starfie song either, even though we still don't know about the title. I just don't think it's good enough to be a single. Or even a coupling track. Hopefully it'll be a brand new song and Wakyanai can be the c/w or something.

As for the differences in the group... Look at Umeda, Maimi and Megumi. They don't look like little kids anymore. They even look more mature than Berryz. And Umeda is turning 15 this year. And look at Chisato, Mai and Nakajima. They look like 5 year-olds. The difference is too visible and I'm afraid that with the latter three's image, the group will stuck singing kiddy songs for gawd knows how long.

That's great, Wakyannai was pretty impressive so a new song sounds good. I agree about the kiddies. At least Berryz had, and has, an age difference of +/-1.

Though, I must say the °C-ute members have really good chemistry.

Yay! But as someone has said before (I think), they've performed the opening act to Morning Musume before (and even v-u-den). Heck, even the concert that was recorded for their previous tour was the one they opened, but it wasn't on the DVD

So, basically, I don't know what to say about their debut (if it's coming soon or not). I'd be SUPER happy, if it did, though. The group contains some awesome personalities (Chisamai, mainly). The main thing that bugs me about their performances, though, is Airi's facial expressions (She looks like she's about to wet herself in fright!), and the height difference thing they do with ALL the groups (Yurina/Saki, Kaori/Yagu, and now Erika/Mai).

tamm · « **Reply #8 on:** April 19, 2006, 11:32:37 PM »

Hope this would be true !!
I think Wakkyanai(Z) is good enough to be release as a single.but who knows
this song has played so many times.
May be tsunku just want to promoted them.Instead of release Wakkyanai(Z) as a debut single....IMO

Anyway I think the height difference is not so bad then they have a good potential (Airi+Megumi as a best H!P kids singer IMO) that's why they difference from Berryz.

So If they will release soon I'd be Extremely Happy so much !! ha ha

i predict that c-ute will debut like kat-tun! lol j/k

wakyanai z is a good song i can see it as their debut, but like tama said, if it were they could just say that on the site instead of "debut song". hopefully the new song, it is new, will be as good wakyanai z or better.

as most are saying about the little ones like mai, i agree... they dont really seem ready at all.

and i think megumi should replace koharu and koharu should be busted down to berryz >.> *runs away*

Princess Pudding · « **Reply #10 on:** April 20, 2006, 03:22:41 AM »

I'm actually one who doesn't think Megumi (And Airi sometimes) are the best HPK... Miyabi is definitely the top HPK, now, imo! I don't know who'd be next, but I think I'd pick someone else before Airi xD She was definitely better a year+ ago...

But I will admit Airi and Erika rocked their HPK auditions WAAY better than a lot of the girls. Maimi has had the biggest voice change <3

For singing, I think Airi is better, but not performing. Airi still looks like she has some stage fright, but Miyabi-sama always looks cool and calm (yes, I call her Miyabi-sama now :p ). But she has much more experience, so we'll see.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "BUSTED DOWN"!! Berryz is awesome!! Koharu or anyone should be honored to join!!!!

But good things shouldn't be changed, Berryz is great as it is

Well it depends on what your "ranking" is based on

If it's singing, then yeah, Airi is strong.
If it's personality, a camerawhore like Momoko is strong.
If it's charisma on stage, well, I count Miyabi's coolness to this category.
If it's looks/cuteness, it could be anyone.
Or if it's all-round talent, I'd say Megumi is strong (singing, dancing, acting [Takaramono], maturity for her age etc.). Or as you said Miyabi, since she is the best live singer in Berryz imo, has charisma and personality and all that.

But I don't think there's such a thing as "the best HPK", there's only "my favourite HPK".

Though I agree with you about Airi. I wouldn't rank her very high, because besides singing she is weak as an idol compared to other members (when it comes to cuteness, personality etc. there are several other girls who beat her in my opinion).

oh..plz plz plz..debut...
they'll b my nxt $$ killer...
(btw..my 1st money killer is viyuden..)

i dunno by lookin at them i like them more than berryz!!

tamm · « **Reply #14 on:** April 21, 2006, 07:18:35 AM »

I wonder why they won't let it be "What Can I say?" instead of "WakKyanai (Z)"

mpz · « **Reply #15 on:** April 21, 2006, 09:32:50 AM »

It feels like UFA is taking a lesson from Johnny's here. Develop a new group not in absolute secrecy, give them a few original songs that they don't need to release immediately and have them do a bunch of concerts.

The only problem is that UFA doesn't control a rabid 100,000+ head fanbase anymore like Johnny's does. There were something like half a million spectators in a KAT-TUN concert in 2001 (or 2003?), before *anybody* knew about their existence.

Thus, it probably won't work out too well. It could be refreshing, though, if they were given mature songs (think Tanpopo or early Morning Musume) instead of the lolipop crap that is being put out through Berryz. The age difference between Cute members wouldn't be so jarring then, because it wouldn't all be about the loliness.

tamatron · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2006, 07:44:25 PM »

I'd like for C-ute to have cool, a bit mature songs, but how mature can they be when there's a 10 y/o Mai (who looks even younger than that) in the group?

And Berryz's songs are lolipop crap?

Their songs are better than everyone else's in H!P now and I wouldn't call a song like Jiriri a lolipop.

Morning Musume had mature songs when Goto was only 13 (although she did look quite mature at that age). If Mai grows up a bit it's not that unthinkable.

Certainly the best songs are being assigned to them because UFA wants to make them popular, but Jiriri is so totally 120% angsty dancey lolipop. Look at the PV. It's got kids in frilly lolicon-enticing costumes looking cute/scared/crying. And the dance routine includes *lol* touching. Anata nashi dewa ikiteikenai and Nanchuu also pretty much fit the bill.

Don't get me wrong, I would *love* to see mature songs performed by anyone, but Jiriri just isn't one.
