Another post about High King?!

Damn skippy, I have no aim with this post at all, I just wanna blurt out random win involving idols.
Now that Cinderella\Complex has hit the shops its gonna be really interesting to see how well this sells, did you get your copy? I know I got mine ... (ok that was a joke ... or was it?).
After watching the dance version (it should be called sexy version) about a gajillion times I can safely say that yajima maimi absolutely 100% totally OWNS the show ... her movements are fluid, precise, elegant ... and most of all sexy, watching her pull off those slick sexy movments is pure poetry in motion ... just oggle the gifs below! (nosebleed warning)




Also did anyone bother to check the b-side to this single? if not then click play below, the song is called 'Kioku no Meiro' and considering most b-sides are shit, this is supprisingly brilliant, well worth listening to ... check out Yuka Maeda's adorable solo part ^^



And of course here is the dance version in question, enjoy!

Shirow out.

Takahashi Ai - Mou Hitotsu no Ai

Takahashi Ai's 9th Photobook has finally come out and this post is nothing more than a veiled excuse to post some eye candy of the delicious Aichan.
I dont actually own any of her solo photobooks and I'm not really sure why ... considering she is a truly beautiful and talented girl it seems a crime not to.
No doubt she will be on my 'to buy list' along with a few other photobooks ... like Suzuki Airi's 3rd photobook and Kusumi Koharu's 3rd photobook.
Anyway 'Mou Hitotsu no Ai' is quite a lovely photobook which is to be expected as anything Aichan graces turns to gold (see post below).
Filled with the usual bikini fan service and booty shots ... one could say that the producers of these photos are running out of ideas ... but if they look this good who cares? hooray for unoriginality!
Below are a few choice shots, and you can download the scanned photobook here, or if you wish to support your idol please buy it from here

The obligatory High King review!

As stated previously I've been holding my thoughts on 'Cinderella Complex' until there was a decent PV available ... and like clock work 'dohhh UP!' has just unleashed it.
And I choose use the word 'unleash' for a reason because while watching it you get blasted by servere amounts of WIN and slick sexy beats.
Originally when I heard the single a few days back it made me think about Salt5 get up rapper!, probably because they both share a great line up and swift funky beats (minus the banana chip chip chip).
With such a quality line up of idols it would be near impossible to make this unit fail, the mixture of girls in this group is interesting ... 2 leaders, 1 captain, a yankee, and an egg thrown in, if this were a cake it would be a delicious one.
With there being such a potent line up of vocal abilities I was really hoping for equal line distribtion, yet it seems that Aichan and Reina take vocal lead .. it isn't really that supprising considering they are the strongest (probably within the whole of h!p).
A voice that does strike me though is Maeda Yuuka, not only does she have a really genki addictive voice, she also has a pair of the most amazingly beautiful Über Kawaii eyes.
The video follows with some slick editing and some good shots with the camera rotating around the girls, there is also some cool shots of the girls silhouettes behind a blinding spot light.
The video fits very well with the music and never has any boring parts, its non-stop high caliber WIN fest from start to finish.
The girls that stand out mostly for me is Reina (maybe because she's featured the most) and Maeda Yuuka ... I really hope we see more of her in the future.
Unfortunatly Maimi wasnt wearing hotpants ... BUT she was wearing a lovely short skirt so I'll let it slide this once.
Is there any bad points about the video? quite frankly NO, unless you count unequal line distribution which seems to becoming the norm nowdays with h!p videos.
I'll definitely be ordering a copy of this single later tonight.
Below is the video, what do you think?

High king = Win?

The news of a new unit is always awesome, I always love to see a different mix of idols placed together, new styles of music, outfits, and attitude, it's also interesting to see the chemistry between them all.
The newest unit on the scene is 'High King' ... a creation stemming from the forthcoming stage play ''Cinderella the Musical''.
Now as most of you probably already know this new unit stars Takahashi Ai, Yajima Maimi , Shimizu Saki, Tanaka Reina, and the Hello!Pro Egg (n00b) Maeda Yuuka.
Surely a group containing so much potent win is a sure fire success right? ... well although I always like to be overtly optimistic regarding idol issues ... this time I'm being 'cautiously optimistic' .. why you ask? ... well at countless times in my life I've been at some house party, stood in the kitchen with my friends ... getting a big bowl and filling it with beer, vodka, wine, malibu, whisky ... and anything under the kitchen sink, drunken logic would seem that the cocktail of lovely drinks (even malibu... dont judge me) will produce a drink fit for a God ... yet as it always transpires ... its bloody awful.
Although I dont know ... I have a good idea this unit will be active for only 1 single (just like Aa, Gyaruru, ZYX etc...).
The single coming out is called 'Cinderella\Complex' ... after a quick wiki search it seems that a 'cinderella complex' has something to do with a women's fear of independence, but anyway you can download a poor radio rip of the track here, I'll try and resist making an early judgment ... all I can say the style of music would suggest a sexy and slick dance routine ... will Maimi be wearing hotpants? ... god I hope so, watch this space.
