[Updated] Morning Musume’s 49th Single Announced, Titled “Renai Hunter”

ladylibra92 January 26, 2012 31


Morning Musume’s 49th single has been announced! It’s currently “Untitled.”

I know most people were worried that Gaki’s last single would’ve been PyokoPyoko Ultra and we didn’t get much confirmation that it was or wasn’t, so now that the 49th single has been officially announced, we can send Gaki off properly.

The single will be released in 6 different editions and include a Single V. Limited A to C includes a DVD and the Limited E edition will be Gaki’s special graduation version.

She won’t have her own solo song like Ai-chan but she’ll be covering a past H!P song as well as have her own solo cover. Regardless of the song, she has the entire edition to herself and I hope this is going to start becoming the tradition for H!P graduations because if the single song isn’t that impressive, I can still show my support by buying the graduation special.

The release date is still a time away so I’m not expecting any previews of anything soon, please support Morning Musume and reserve a copy when the single is released though!

The release date is set for 4/11 and the single V will be released on 4/18.

[Updated] The title has been announced to be “Renai Hunter”

It’s just the title for the single and I’m more excited for a preview or covers to be released but I know that won’t be coming any time soon.

According to some Tower Records is known for posting premature info and then retracting it later so it’s possible that this might not even be the actual title too, hopefully that’s not the case because I think the title does sound interesting.

Hopefully we get a reliable confirmation soon and please support the group and reserve your copy when it’s released.

    I hope that it will be a nice song like Nanchatte Renai and she’ll have as many solo lines like how Tanaka and Takahashi used to have…:DD

    Renai Hunter sounds similar to Renai Rider lol xD

  • Rina

    Sounds really nice. <3

  • Kirari

    Renai Hunter sounds dark and mysterious… I think I remember Tsunku mentioning somewhere that the dance for this upcoming single would be intense and wondering if the new members could keep up. It’s bound to be interesting at least. As for the cover song, I’m almost hoping for Koe or even Mr Moonlight. How Do You Like Japan would be cool too. Y’know, one of Risa’s songs.

  • awan abdullah

    renai hunter…hopefully as good as renai revolution and nanchatte renai….looking forward with 49th single…seem promosing

    I’m hoping for 
    HOW DO YOU LIKE JAPAN? ~Nihon wa Donna Kanji Dekka?~ to be the solo cover!! KYAAA~! I’ll be so excited!

  • Jessi

    I have high hopes! Anything with the word Renai in it has been really good. Nanchatte Renai, Renai Rider by Buono! I mean really what can go wrong?

  • KeiS

    Love Hunter Ka….. Hmmmm If They Wear Lolita Clothes, Ima Be So Jelous.

  • Kaiiibon

    So far, I am impressed!! I think of Rival Survival when I hear it, it’s a good title ^^
    Despite slight disappointment on the last single, I am still confident Tsunku will do the right thing by giving Gaki a powerful , long, last single <3 I can't wait!

    I Think the titles it’s a bit of recycling…

  • Anonymous

    I love the title! Makes me hope for something really powerful <3

  • Rina

    I wish it’ll be better than 48th single.

  • Musicftw777

    yayy gaki hopefully gets a good last single!!! but i kinda wished she stuck around for 50th
    i hope she leads or at least co-leads with reina
    and i hope its a mature song like never forget but i doubt it
    i’m guessing its gonna come out like maji desu ka suka an upbeat kind of song because of new members…i just hope it’s not like pyoko D:

    • MewMewLea

      actually no. Tsunku made a comment on this single says that it’s a cool song and he wonders if the new members can keep up

      • Musicftw777

         yay!! i hope its a faster song cause riho’s gonna get lines for sure and not to be mean but she sounds whiny in ballad type songs

        and i think the new members shouldn’t have too much of a problem. they’re a pretty strong group

  • Jessi

    So many people are sighing a sigh of relief that Gaki’s last single isn’t Pyoko Pyoko Ultra, but I’d laugh if it turns out that its a song thats just as wacky. Although I did love Pyoko Pyoko Ultra, wouldn’t it have been awesome if Kanashiki koi no Melody was the A side? I love that song.

  • JHasegawa25

    Glad to hear we’ll get one more single with Gaki’s amazing vocals. And it has to be good. I wish Gaki could have gotten her own original solo song, but at least she gets her graduation edition. Wonder which song she will cover

  • giulia

    yesss!!!!!! soo excited. It better be amazing. Something powerful – we need to show off Risa’s strong vocals in a powerhouse song!!
    And soo happy she’s getting her own solo B side with a special cover. I hope this becomes a tradition because it seems like a fitting way to leave the group. Tsunku should’ve started doing that years ago!

  • Phoenix

    I’m SO glad that Pyoko Pyoko Ultra is not Risa’s last single!

  • Eugi_mii

    I’ve got a question.
    I’m travelling to Japan the 8th of April, and I really want to buy this single, but does anyone know if they still sell old singles like maji deu ka ska, only you or something like that? or do they just get out of stock?

    Btw. I love this site I check it every morning and every evening^^

    • Phoenix T

      Singles sell out, usually. Recent albums are available for purchase though. However, I bought a ton of older MM singles and CDs, like First Time, Koko ni Iruzee, I Wish and Nanchatte Renai, for super cheap (around 2 CAD each) at a used CD store in Kyoto! (Used cd stores also sell newer singles, too!)

      • Holly

        Yeah, I found a lot of old albums and singles at Book Off. It doesn’t support UFA when you buy them there, but if you just wanted to have them, it’s a good place to try.

        • Eugi_mii

          Oh, okay, thank you^^

      • Eugi_mii

        Wow, I’ll try to look after it, thanks for the advice ^^

      Single additions are harder to find but you can find them in regular editions. It really depends on the sales of a single.

      • Eugi_mii

        Okay thankyou so much^^

    • Jessi

      Actually when I go to the store I see a bunch of the old ones back up until Maji desu ka ska, but it depends on the store! I might go buy Pyoko Pyoko Ultra today. I wanna help the single sales!

      • Eugi_mii

        Yeah I kinda feel the same, I wanna help with the sales too, thanks for the help^^

  • Guest

    Good lord I feel so relieved!  Budokan and a non-pyoko single.

  • KeiS

    DONT LEAVE RISA-SAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MewMewLea

    Thank the lord almighty!
    I am a little disappointed that she won’t get an original song but I’ll still be buying it!
    Ahhh how expensive these graduations are for me….
