It has been announced that all 5 groups of Hello!Project are going to collaborate for a mash up single that's due for release on November 16th. The title is going to be Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku. Surprisingly, the single is going to be released as a Regular Edition, and 6 Limited Editions (A-F). Aichan will not take part in this single, and neither will Ogawa Saki, but the new S/mileage members will. I'd love to know if there is going to be a PV involved. That would be great!

Other then the complete Mobekimasu single, C-ute and Berryz alone are going to be collaborating for their own single to be released on November 9th. It's going to be titled Amazuppai Haru ni Sakurasaku. It seems that this single is going to be the ending theme song for the movie Oosama Game that all of Berrikyuu are taking part in. This will be released as a Regular Edition, plus two Limited Editions. I'm looking forward to hearing what both of these are going to sound like!
^ if UFA is worried about sales, then combining Berikyuu into one group would have the opposite effect. Instead of 8 singles a year (4 for Berryz, 4 for C-ute) and 4 concert tours a year (2 for Berryz, 2 for C-ute), they would have 4 singles + 2 concert tours, halving their revenue.
ReplyDeleteThe only way they would make more money that way is if the combined group's singles sell more than twice than what they normally sell individually - something like 50k per single would be needed - which is doubtful to happen.
Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to the Berikyuu single more.
