Berryz Koubou 21st Single – “Ryuusei Boy / Watashi no Mirai no Danna-Sama”
After what seems like quite a long time in Hello! Project terms, Berryz Koubou will release their 21st single which once again will be a Double-A sided single! The titles have been announced as 流星ボーイ / 私の未来のだんな様 (Ryuusei Boy; Falling Star Boy / Watashi no Mirai no Danna-Sama; My Future Husband).
From the titles it sounds as though the first might be a “cool” song while the second could be a ballad. Both songs will serve as the opening to the Inazuma Eleven 2 game and anime respectively.
The release date is 2009-10-28 for the Single and 2009-11-04 for the Single V!
Berryz Koubou 20th Single (2009-06-03)
Berryz Koubou are to release their 20th single on 2009-06-03, so far one part of the title has been revealed as it seems this will be a double a-side. The title is a reminiscint of Minimoni, let’s hope the song isn’t too weird!

Today’s Releases (2009-01-14)
2009-01-14
- Satoda Mai with Gouda Kyoudai – Bye Bye (2nd Single, with DVD)
- Berryz Koubou – Berryz Koubou Special Best Vol.1 (1st Best Album) (Limited with DVD)
- Kamei Eri – 20DREAMS (Idol DVD)
Today it would seem #4 is the magic number with Satoda Mai’s new single Bye Bye charting at #4 in the Oricon single charts, Berryz Koubou’s new album charting at #4 in the Oricon album charts and Kamei Eri’s new DVD charting at #4 in the DVD charts! Not bad all round~!
Berryz Koubou 19th single (2009-03-11)
Berryz Koubou are to release their 19th single titled 抱きしめて 抱きしめて (Dakishimete Dakishimete: Hold me, hold me) on 2009-03-11. As always the single will be released in two editions, one with a DVD. The Single V will follow on 2009-03-18. This release seems a little distance but I like the title, it sounds like it might not be the jumpy sort of song we’ve been hearing lately!
New Profile Pictures for Berryz Koubou
The Hello! Project Official Website has uploaded new artist images for Berryz Koubou, presumably for their upcoming best-of album, Berryz Koubou Special Best Vol.1, which is released on 2008-01-14. Quite an interesting style, sort of retro, sort of air-hostess.
Oricon Update
Lots of Hello! Project artists are in Oricon this week and I also have the sales figures for some of the artists from last week;
Milky Way;
Milky Way’s 2nd, TANTANTAAN!, single ranked at #63 in it’s 3rd week of sales and is currently at 22,624 copies. A lot less than their debut single. It’s currently outside the daily charts.
Berryz Koubou;
Berryz Koubou’s 18th single, MADAYADE, single ranked at #50 in it’s 2nd week of sales and is currently at 24,936 copies. Quite a bit lower than their recent releases but not too awful.
Buono!;
Buono!’s 5th single, Rottara Rottara, ranked at #8 in it’s 1st week of sales with 22,484 copies being sold. It’s currently outside the daily charts but ranked at #12 at the start of the week.
Satoda Mai;
Mai’s 2nd single ranked above Buono!’s in it’s 1st week of sales at #7 with sales of 25,788! A great success for Mai, it’s currently at #45 in the dailt charts.
HANGRY & ANGRY;
The Yoshizawa and Ishikawa duet, HANGRY & ANGRY’s debut mini-album debuted at #23 on the daily charts this weekand currently sits at #49. This isn’t actually too awful as it’s an indie release.
Ogamana;
Canaria Club member Ogamana’s debut single Spin Rock debuted at #15 in the daily charts and is at #20 today. This is pretty impressive for a relatively unknown new soloist from a relatively unknown indies group!
