Firstly, Berryz Koubou:
Most people (who like Berryz Koubou) will know that their new single Shining Power will be released on the 10th of November. Previews have been released along with a profile picture for it. The song sounds epic, and it's pretty damn catchy. I still can't get the "Shining Shining Shining Power" out of my head (XD) Here's the preview:
I can't wait to see the dance for this single, I hope it's good. Don't get me wrong, I loves Maji Bomber, and the dance was good, but it looked a little rag-doll-ish...Oh well. When I first saw the profile picture I was pretty shocked. I realised just how much they had grown. (XD) It's to be expected seeing as 5 of them are 18 and there are 7 members. Actually, Saki's birthday is 22nd November, which makes her 19 in a month. They really have changed a lot from the 12-14 year olds they used to be. (XD) To prove my point:
Berryz Koubou, March 2005:
Sorry if it's hard to read the names, but I wrote them with a bloody mouse, give me a break. (XD) Any Berryz Koubou now:
Admittedly some have barely changed, but most have changed a lot. Starting with the oldest, Saki. She hasn't changed too much, except she's matured a lot. Momoko...hasn't changed AT ALL. Chinami, has changed a lot if you ask me. Her face is more mature, she's changed her hair, she has fantastic legs, and she's just grown up in general. (XD)
CASE CLOSED.
Onto Maasa! I think it's fairly obvious that she's grown up quite a bit. Her face is a pretty good giveaway. It's a hell of a lot more mature. See?
She's amazingly gorgeous. (XD) (To be fair, they all are...XD)
Miyabi! She's one of the younger ones, and it shows in the 2005 pic. But now she looks amazing! I adore this pic of her:
Second last, Yurina! Now she amazes me. How hot does she look now? Very. She's been doing a lot of growing up. And up. And up. She's annoyingly tall. Yet she's still cute! That takes skill people.You can tell from the Shining Power picture that she's matured.
And now, last but not least, Risako! Now, if you ask me, she's changed the most. From a cute goofy smile into a mature attention demanding look. She was grown up, a lot. She's still the youngest (obviously) but it doesn't show. Although personally, I prefer this look:
I really can't wait to see the PV for this single. The song itself sounds awesome and the outfits/appearance in general looks fecking amazing. Unfortunately, the single isn't out until November! *falls on floor* Ah well. (¬_¬)
Now that I've gone on about Berryz Koubou for a little while, it's time for Versailles! (Full name = Versailles-Philharmonic Quintet)
People who have known about Versailles for a little while will probably know that their original bassist, Jasmine You, died. I'm unaware about how he died, but apparently it was semi-unexpected. It really is a shame, because he was an awesome bassist, and had a great look.
Although it's depressing that he died (apparently he suffered a lot in his last days too >.<) it's nice to know that the band is slowly moving on from their loss. They now have a new bassist! His name is Masashi. He was the band's supporting bassist during their most recent tour. He was only supposed to support them but it was decided that he would become an official member. I can't comment on him a lot, because I haven't heard him play. Although I gotta say he looks great. He really fits in appearance-wise.
And a full Versailles picture:
(From left to right the members are Teru, Masashi, Kamijo, Yuki and of course, Hizaki. XD)
They have a new single coming up too, except it's coming out a lot sooner. (XD) It's released on the 27th of October and it's called 'Destiny-The Lovers-' I can't wait! It'll be interesting to see (^^)
Well, I should stop talking now. (XD) Bye bye! ^^
