As maybe everyone can see of my recent posts, I'm stuck in the 48-family stuff. ;)
BUT..., the first who took me into Idol music was Hello!Project. they were my one and only for a long time (3 years or so) and I nearly stopped hearing their music after I became of AKB48 and the sister groups.
Of course I never stopped buying their latest CD's but the playlists of my iPhone was AKB and Co. dominating.
The first and love ever was BUONO! They were epic and I was so amazed how cool they were singing and the songs! KISS! KISS! KISS! was my one and only. I listen to this song so much...
At first I only listen to their music but never try to learn more about the 3 members...
After a while, I started to read in the internet more about Miyabi, Momoko and Airi.
So after a while I started the next big step in idol music:
I started to buy and listen to music of
Berryz Kobo
and
°C-ute
And of course I was impressed with Morning Musumes music. It was on the time where S/mileage debuted and they were really good.
I spend a lot of my training salary for H!P music. And so the years gone by.
In the beginning of last year, I started to listen to SKE48 and AKB48. And I must say, at this time I was a little bit bored with BUONO! and Co.
They were left behind for me.
After excessive listening of AKB and Co. I started to love my beloved H!P again.
Of course I still bought their music (singles, DVD and singles)and listen to them but not in this amount as it was.
Now after a year I'm here again. The H!P fandom inside me. XD
I'm really proud, that they become more popular and the sales increases.
And fiting to this point of view: Today came my copy of S/mileage latest single! :))))
S/mileage - Atarashii Watashi ni Nare! / Yattaruchan (LTD D)
And the latest manga of Arina Tanemura!
Arina Tanemura - Neko to Watashi no Kinyoubi
It sold ~48.500 units in the first week. So better than Sakura Hime Kaden.
