Predia released a number of live songs in glorious HD, taken from their sold out tour final.
 
Cleopatra | 70's disco on steroids. A powerslave by the rivers of Babylon. All hail empress MaiMai!
 
Fabulous | Soothing verses followed by a rude awakening during the chorus and a catchy hook that brings back the proverbial calm before the next storm.
 
Suiyoubi no uso | This one has the trademark pulsating Predia beat and a great melody on top of that.
 
Super Women | 1-2-3-GO! banger of epic proportions, a crowdpleaser shamelessly bereft of all subtlety.

Sorry I have not been here in a while. Wil be moving to South Korea in a month and I have been busy recently. Will update the first post once I have posted this. New single Curtain Call (8/22), covers and PV are up. I don't like the covers they have done for their last two singles. I wish I could see the group and they feel a bit tacky. I am not a big fan to Curtain Call either but hopefully the b-sides will be great. 

Tracklist:
A-side: Curtain Call (カーテンコール)
B-sides: WAKEARI
Re-Make

Since Passpo doesn't make any new music anymore their producer got heavily involved in Predia.
He composed/wrote lyrics for about half of the last album and also composed 2 songs for the new single, including Curtain Call.
Let's say it's quite different from their signature style.
 
Re-make is also composed by the same man, but is more kawaii like Baby Kiss / Close to you.
 
[15/8] WAKEARI is a song by the duo that brought us the last two a-sides; Nouvelle Cuisine and Ms.Frontier (and Paradise as well).

^ Didn't he always do that, as far as I know always wrote songs for all the Platinum Passport groups - he was never exclusive to PASSPO.

 

Checked, looks he composed about 8 songs for them and wrote lyrics for a few more.

^ 11

Curtain Call 12.5K sold. Back to 5 figure sales, so the downward spiral is broken.
So it looks like the decision to go for something fresh turns out to be the right one. Not that Wakeari is bad, but it would have been more of the same.

Hopefully next will be a CD registration of the acoustic show.

[edit v2.0]
Next release: 'THE ONE' best of CD+DVD; 16 songs. Let's hope for anything interesting, not just a compilation of 16 previously released songs.
Release dec.19.

Please at least correct the epic failure of not making an MV for your biggest anthem. Let's see if the JP fans agree!
[edit v3.0] no! Close to you wins.

Happy 8th anniversary!

To celebrate this milestone the entire tour final of their 2018 "Fabulous" tour has been published.
Now most of the recent songs are already on YT, except...

'Secret of Light' and 'Shadow Play'. Light and darkness.

Both are considered to be opposites but at the same time, one cannot exist without the other.
The power of light, and the power of darkness all combine to become a radiating light to illuminate the void, and they all gather together as THE ONE.



[edit 27 dec] Akina, Yuzuka, Reiko and Runa thank you very much and the best of luck with whatever your plans are for the future.

It was revealed today that four members will graduate at the tour final 2/2 in Tokyo Dome City Hall. 
Link to Predia's site
Graduating members are: Akina Okamura, Reiko Aoyama, Yuzuka Hayashi and Runa Matsumoto. 
After going to two of their events last week this is very sad news. Interesting that they are graduating after the Best Of album just like Terumi and Megumi did. I am hoping the concert will be uploaded on youtube after the event like they have done with recent tour finals.

Last year when Predia released the MV for 'Curtain Call' I had some hope they were moving away from the cheap erotic stuff towards a more girl power direction. In hindsight, it turned out to be just an exception in a string of increasingly distasteful releases resulting in this all time low piece of sleaze.

I'm surprised they decided to take the voyeurism of 'Naked' even a step further.

I would think that eight years of singing your heart out, that lead to multiple performances of the national anthem at pro-baseball games, karaoke battles on national tv and numerous great performances all together would earn a person some respect.
But looking at the last two Predia MV's, the main impression that I get is that every idol just has to conform to the rules dictated by the Japanese idol industry.

Tldr; tiddies:

^ Predias whole concept was always to be a lot more sexy than other idols.

It's cool man.

It's good we don't have to ask Mai to intervene because I see she already has her hands full at the moment.

I haven't listened to Predia in a few years, I remember really enjoying listening to them a while ago. Then for some reason I just stopped.
