Today’s Releases (2008-12-10)

I’ve stopped posting daily releases lately as I feel they’re sometimes a bit redundant but today we have a lot of big releases so I think it might be worthwhile giving them a mention!

2008-12-10

• MilkyWay / SHIPS – Kirarin Revolution 3rd Tour Stage 2 (Anime DVD)

The Hello! Project compilation album Pucchi Best 9 as well as all of the Mega Best albums were released today, the highest charting being Abe Natsumi’s at #15 in Oricon; it’s bound to fall substantially though considering the success of her latest single (more on that in the next post).

Pucchi Best 9 has charted at #22 today and like Nacchi’s album will most likely fall out of the Top 30 very soon.

All of the other albums have failed to chart within the Top 30.

On a more optimistic note Shugo-Chara Egg’s debut single Manna no Tamago has charted at #5 in the Oricon Daily Charts – quite impressive for a group of newbies. We’ll see how that does all week I guess, let’s hope for a Top Ten ranking at the end of the week. Although the single isn’t my cup of tea I’d be more than happy for any Hello! Project group to have some success right now!

New Hello! Pro Egg Unit – Shugo Chara Egg

The aforementioned new Hello! Pro Egg unit was announced yesterday as Shugo Chara Egg and consists of four of the most popular members of Hello! Pro Egg; Saho Akari, Wada Ayaka, Maeda Yuuka and Fukuda Kanon. Many fans have been waiting for a while for Fukuda Kanon to be added to a group so this should come as welcome news. As far as I know this is the first group for both Fukuda and Wada, Maeda was in High-King a few months ago and Saho is a member of Tomoiki Ki wo Uetai.

They will release their first single on 2008-12-10 titled Minna no Tamago (Everyone’s Egg). I’ve added this to the release dates page as well as a wealth of other releases up to February 2009!
