- Suzuki Airi – 6gatsu no Kajitsu (3rd Photobook)
- Takahashi Ai / Tanaka Reina / Michishige Sayumi / Kamei Eri - Ojigi 30do On Stage (e-Lineup Limited Theatre DVD)
No doubt many of you will be getting all exited over Suzuki’s latest photo-book, still don’t really see the appeal myself, give her a few years maybe.
The Theater DVD is an online only product available to Japan residents so if you want it you better send a line to your friend in Japan!

Well, four AKB48 photobooks, I know nothing about them but I think it’s a nice touch they come in four flavours. Oh it’s also an excellent sales tactic for the hardcore AKB48 fans.

- C-ute – LALALA Shiawase no Uta (4th Major Single)
- AKB48 – Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008 (10th Single) (Limited 1 with DVD) (Limited 2 with Remix Track)

The major release today is probably C-ute’s fourth major single: LALALA Shiawase no Uta, I’m sure you’ve all heard it by now and if not you can watch the PV in the side-bar or download the single in the downloads section. The song is really catchy but I personally don’t think it’s as good as their last single.
AKB48 also release their 10th single today which is a re-release of their first single which was released on an indie label. Sakura no Hanabiratachi 2008 features a new arrangement and is sung by the current AKB48 lineup which has changed slighty since 2006. It also has a new c/w which is also very pleasant. The PV for this single is very good, it lasts ten minutes and is sort of a mini-drama! You can watch that in the sidebar too. I’ll upload the single for you all to download in a few hours, please be patient!
Tanaka Reina’s new photobook is a compilation I hear, she’s an attractive girl so I’m sure it will be quite something, it comes with a DVD making of which is currently available for download on the Hello! Online tracker I believe, the link is in the side-bar.
And finally, for fans of Robby & Kerobby, volume 6 is released on DVD today, does the anime have many foreign fans? I’ve never watched an episode though I generally don’t watch anime, if Tsuji was still doing voice acting I could be tempted.
As a side note, AKB48 and C-ute have some fierce competition today with boy bands NEWS and Tohoshinki both releasing singles. NEWS are pretty much guaranteed the #1 position in the Oricon charts though Tohoshinki’s new single is apparently part of something called the TRICK series and the previous singles in this series haven’t fared so well; C-ute and AKB48 will hopefully both find themselves in the top 10.
4th Solo Photobook for Nigaki Risa
Continuing the onslaught of photobooks, Morning Musume 5th generation member and sub-leader Niigaki Risa will be releasing her 4th solo photobook on 2008-04-25, the title is still to be announced.
Her last photobook was released last May (2007-05-26) and was titled Isshun.
