Mai has again transferred to be under JP Room (from Upfront Create, where she was transferred to in Jan this year). So I guess it makes sense to have the 3 girls doing an event together. Good exposure.

Following Manakan's covers, here is Mai covering Lady Mermaid (Airi/Risako). Full vidéo tomorrow, as always!

 

 

 

 

At first I thought the plan was to give a solo cover album to Manaka, but now...maybe Mai & Manaka will have a joined cover album of H!P songs??? I'm all for it actually! Because clearly, they can't debut both girls in the same time. It's a bad marketing move. 

Also, Mai teased something for late november (25th & 26th), I assume it's another FC Event?

I say that as someone who absolutely love Mai, she was my 2nd favorite Country Girls... she doesn't have a voice made to be a soloist. Just like Manaka, they work better in group. If she get 2 covers like Manaka, hopefully they'll add other persons with more unique voice.

It's nice they are utilizing her. I guess maybe we may get a cover album from the M-line girls. Not just Manaka or Mai. They are probably just getting things rolling.

^x2 Maybe you're right and it's going to be a M-Line Cover Album. It's still the 25th anniversary.

I still believe it's a MaiManaka cover album though. Manaka has 3 solo covers (Sukitte, Hatsukoi Cider and KoiING). If everyone is supposed to get solo coverS then the tracklist will be veeeery long. M-line club is not just Karin, Risa, Maa, Miyabi, Manaka and Mai, it's also Ai, Reina, Sayu and Airi (Not counting Bitter & Sweet). It could includes Kiki too. It's more than 10 people, I assume eeveryone would be getting a fair amount of solo covers, maybe duo/trio covers too?...it would be too much for 1 album of 17-18 tracks.

 

But I can totally be wrong of course. I just hope they don't plan to debut both Mai/Manaka in the same time it would be a bad move.

If they do plan for a M-line cover album, I don't think we are getting solo covers from those who are active as solo artists (ie. Karin, Masaki, Risa & Airi) and also Bitter&Sweet.
And also, I don't think we will get Ai/Sayumi/Reina doing covers too. They don't see to be that active with M-line stuff despite being in the M-line Music club.

 

However, I can see a M-line cover album coming from the following:

1. Manaka

2. Mai

3. Miyabi

4. Akari

5. Kiki

Especially if the latter 2 officially join the M-line Music.

[Kumi-chan]

Ah, this could actually work! It would give them released while not being solo artists like the 4 others. Good option! 

 

I'm just curious to see when they plan to explain why those covers. It's been a bit more than a month now...

For me, there is definitely a joined cover album coming.
