New Singles for Buono! & Guardians 4
Yet more releases have been announced today, this time from the latest issue of Nakayoshi Magazine! Buono! will release their 8th single, Cosmic Eyes, on 2009-07-22 which will be the theme for a special week of Shugo Chara Doki.
Also, despite the somewhat modest sales of Guardians 4‘s debut single, they will release their second single on 2009-08-26 – seems like a very long way away right now!
I’m looking forward to both singles though I hope Guardians 4 have a better PV and somewhat strong melody, also I’d like to see Shugo-Chara Egg! have their own version on the single, like the first single.
New Buono! Single (01/26) & Album (02/11)
Just after the release of their 5th single Buono! are due to release their sixth on 2009-01-26 and will follow with an album under a month later on 2009-02-11! Pretty rapid releases from the trio! Both titles are currently unknown.

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!

- Melon Kinenbi / Miyoshi Erika – Kaba 2 (e-Lineup Exclusive Theater DVD)
- Buono! - Rottara Rottara (5th Single) (Limited with DVD)
- C-ute – C-ute Concert Tour 2008 ~Wasuretakunai Natsu~ (Concert DVD)
- Satoda Mai x Goda Kyodai – Mou Sugu Christmas (2nd Single)
I always enjoy it when two Hello! Project acts go head to head in Oricon and this week we have two pretty popular acts; Buono! and Satoda Mai. I was a little dubious as to how Mai’s 2nd single would do as her first sold under 2,000 copies. This time round though she a more popular supporting act as well a funner song, I wouldn’t necessarily say the song is better than her first though – just very different. Mou Sugu Christmas debuted at No.6 in the Oricon charts! Not too shabby at all!
Buono!’s 5th single, Rottara Rottara debuted two ahead at No.4, better than Berryz Koubou’s last single’s debut ranking. Good luck to both singles!

Today’s Releases (2008-08-20)
2008-08-20
- Buono! – Gachinko de Ikou! (4th Single) (Limited with DVD)
- Tanaka Reina - Onegai My Melody Kirara☆ Melody 1(Anime DVD)
Buono! release their 4th single today and it’s possibly my favorite so far, it has a pretty steady pop-rock sound and the PV is really nice, I love Miyabi’s hair. The 1st volume of Tanaka Reina’s anime Onegai My Melody Kirara is also released today, I think it’s somewhat a pity she didn’t sing the theme for it á la Kusumi Koharu.
