There’s a different variety of releases today from 3 groups, hopefully everyone is able to check it out. Today’s releases are:
- S/mileage- Chotto Matte Kudasai (Single V)
- C-ute- Dai Nana Sho Utsukushikutte gomen ne (Regular, Limited)
- Buono!- Gomenasai (DVD)
S/mileage – Chotto Matte Kudasai (Single V)
- Chotto Matte Kudasai PV
- Chotto Matte Kudasai (close-up)
- Making Of
The contents for this Single V doesn’t differ from any other Single V so there’s not much to comment about it, though the making of is always interesting so even though it’s pretty standard the making ofs are always the best portions here.
As for the cover I really like the other cover editions over this one since this one is just very plain, though for H!P covers in general I think this one isn’t done that bad and it’s decent.
I haven’t seen the PV for the close up version yet so there’s not much I can say about this release but I did want to commend the members for the song since there’s a lot of high notes in here and when I listened to the song they hit all of them perfectly.
Overall this release is pretty standard for Single V but because of their ability to hit those notes and still give 100% in the PV I give this single a rating of
C-ute – Dai nana sho Utsukushikutte gomen ne (Regular, Limited)
First day on Oricon charts at #8
1. Momoiro Sparkling
2. Hitorijime Shitakatta Dake na no ni
3. Ike! Genki-kun (Hagiwara Mai solo)
4. Sekaiichi HAPPY na Onna no ko
5. ZUNTAKA MARCH ~Hitorashiku Ikiyou~

8. Shiawase no Tochuu
9. Amazuppai Haru ni Sakurasaku (Original Berikyuu Ver.)
10. Seishun Gekijou (C-ute Ver.)
I usually don’t follow album releases from anyone other than Morning Musume but when I saw the outfits and cover for this release I was hooked already. The old school diner theme is something different and I really like that everyone is dressed as a waitress. Just to keep it short everything is very colorful and the oversized snacks in props in the background is really cute.
As for the content, I’m really happy that there’s Momoiro Sparkling and Sekaiichi HAPPY na Onna no ko. When C-ute became a 5 member group there wasn’t that many songs that caught my attention. Those two songs are my favorite since they’ve decreased in size and just because two of my favorite songs are featured in one place already I have high hopes for this release.
Another song that catches my attention on this album is ZUNTAKA MARCH ~Hitorashiku Ikiyou~. Like I mentioned before the song is funky and so fun to listen to. The vocals on there are amazing as well, especially for Chisato since she stands out so much and she’s starting to catch my attention with her vocals. I also haven’t had a chance to listen to her solo song either so I’m looking forward to hearing that too.
(The preview of the song that was uploaded cuts off slightly at the end, unfortunately there’s no other previews of this song anywhere else and I really wanted to share this song)
Overall I would highly recommend this release and it’s so amazing so far with just the previews so I give it a rating of
Buono! – Gomenasai (DVD)
I’m really happy that Buono! had the opportunity to be featured in a movie since it allows them to be exposed to new fans and for their existing fans we get the chance to see them doing something different. This movie is really different than what we normally see from Buono! and since they’re able to change that by acting I really give them credit for that.
Besides the trailer that was release a while back I haven’t seen anything else regarding the movie yet but according to the CDJapan page listing for this there’s a lot of bonus footage on the bluray and deluxe editions of this release and that’s a plus for me since I like extras.
This release seems really promising since they streamed the movie on Nico Nico, so there must’ve been some sort of interest for them to do that. Since I haven’t seen the movie yet I’m not going to give this one a rating because I don’t know much about it.
For now here’s the clip of the mini-live event from the Nico Nico stream.
