Biyuuden has released a new single on May 10th, titled Issai Gassai Anata ni A-GE-RU. This is definitely not your ordinary Biyuuden single: It’s an upbeat, cutesy pop song, not one of their usual mid-tempo mature songs. Will this style work for them? Let’s see!

This is my last (so far) installment of the H!P Summer Shuffles. The three groups last year were Sexy Otona Jan, Elegies, and Puri Puri Pink. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy them that much. But check them out!

The shuffles for 2004 were different in all ways possible. First of all, as an anniversary of H!P’s 7 years in existence, the WHOLE Hello! Project, even the Hello! Project kids, formed one mega unit called the H.P. All Stars. They released a single together called ALL FOR ONE & ONE FOR ALL! Let’s see how they did…and how they managed to all fit on one stage (46 people!)

The groups for the summer shuffle units in 2003 were 7AIR, SALT5, and 11WATER. The theme for athem was the elements, air, salt, and water. 7AIR and SALT5 took a more rap/r&b feel, while 11WATER turned the other way and gave us a nice, poppy, upbeat, H!P-like happy song. Unlike other years, starting from this year, all 3 shuffles were combined onto one CD single, rather than 3 separate singles to buy. Let’s see how they did!

2002 is the 3rd installment of the Hello! Project’s yearly summer shuffle units. The theme this year was shiawase, happiness. The 3 groups, Happy 7, Sexy 8, and Odoru 11, all carried this theme but each had their own uniqueness. Let’s take a look!
