CD Orders for June and July

Well my orders for the month June will be very short. So I will be post my "soon to be" orders for July too.

• 04.06. Berryz Kobo Single - Ai wa Itsumo..... (ordered only Reg B)
• 18.06. ayaka Single - Nijiiro
• 25.06. NMB48 Single - Ibiza Girl
• 02.07. Tomomi Itano Album - S*W*A*G
• 09.07. Nogizaka46 Single
• 16.07. C-ute new Double A-Side single
• 30.07. SKE48 new summer single

In short. June will be cheap. 

The new single of Berryz Kobo does not suit my taste. They're a great idol band and were my first H!P band to be in touch, but their last singles were very bland. Both songs give you a good feeling and the lyrics are perfect for their 10th year anniversary.

NMB48 finally releases a new summer single. (They had one last year too but no new Nagiichi...) The sound should be between Sayonara Crawl and Labrador Retriever. I listen to a live version of Request Hour but the quality wasn't this good. So I wait. But the song sounds nice. :)

July will be expensive. All my big fav idol bands will be releasing a new single (and Tomochin a long awaited album!). As you know I always want to collect mostly all editions of one release so urgh expensive month... ^^'

Arashi - GUTS!

I admit, I kinda hated the song at first. It sounded like a children song. But as a fan I listen to it a whole day once and now, it's love. XD The PV is funny and so colorful. Like!!!

Arashi - GUTS! (LTD & Reg)

Not yet - Already

After laying 4 weeks in customs (!!!!!) I got my copy of Not yet first and last album. I became a fan of them very late and so it hurts more to see them disband.... T__T

Kinda no luck with the photos... Would only keep Sashi. Rest is up to trade.

AKB48 - Labrador Retriever

I ordered 8 copies of the Regular Edition. I like the covers of the Limited Editons way more but I wanna have the photo and no Handshake ticket I can not use.
All in all the single is solid.
At first listen of Labrador Retriever I was dissappointed. But after many listenings it grew on me.

At first: I'm sad this single won't have an Undergirls Song. The graduation song of Oshima Yuko (Kyou Made no Melody) isn't my cup of tea. I don't understand the decision of using the song in every edition. I would prefered an Undergirls song. T__T

So my ranking of the songs:
1: Team A - Kimi wa Kimagure (finally a nice Team song of A. Shimazaki does a funny job in the PV. Her expressions are cute.)

2. Labrador Retriever - The song alone is okay. I wouldn't say it gives me the vibe of a summer song but the concept and the idea are good. Well about the center U can discuss a lot. Mayu isn't my favourite member.

3. Team 4 - Heart no Dasshutsu Game (Team 4 made a big step for me. They improved a lot and show their best. A big plus is the change of Rena Kato. Because of her I wanna know more of this "new" Team. The song is catchy.)

4. Team B - B Garden (If I hadn't watch the PV I wouldn't understand their speaches. ^^' I would love to see more focus on the Team and not the content of Mayu and Ikoma. They may the most famous persons in B but well not for me... :P)

5. Team K - Itoshiki Rival (nice PV and good concept of the PV but the song is kinda blank... I hear it and well forget. Haruppi rules in the PV and in some way I'm happy to see her in Team K.)
