Yay another single! I'm not too sad that it's a double a side because we get something so soon.

 

Also it seems like H!P have finally figured out a schedule and we are getting consistent releases this year.

The single re-announced on H!PS

^ how does one get tickets for the handshake event on the 8/7 or 8/8?

[Ares13]

^
I think those are release week mini live event ..
You got to turn up at the event venue on that day to buy the single to get a handshake

[Obsidian]

I'm going to try and make the events that week so I'm looking into it. 8/7 still hasn't been confirmed it's possible this could be at Ikebukuro given that they normally do events there but it not included yet.

 

For 8/8 these are the details -

Basically it's what Ares said.

 

More detailed, what I think I can gather is this (Please if anyone with better Japanese sees a mistake jump on this )

 

It's at Tower Records Shibuya (Very easy to find), buy the single after 10am on the day from the store. (I'm guessing there will be a very obvious queue at this point, that's my experience from other similar events).

 

Looks like you get 1 event ticket regardless of how many copies you buy + handshake tickets equal to the number of copies you buy. (So separate tickets which are exclusive to the two different elements of the events.)

I think you can choose which of the two session you want 16.45 or 19.15 but the ticket numbers are random.

 

Come back to the Store 30 mins before the start time of the event you have the ticket for, I think the queue will be arranged in order of ticket number. Again it should be pretty obvious, the event itself is in the basement of the store.

 

Normally the handshake queue will get arranged for people attending it right after the live, if you only have a handshake ticket (but not the live) you need to queue 30 mins after the start time of the respective event.

The numbers on the handshake tickets do not relate to order in the the queue, so just line up for that at the back of the queue.

I think they are still keeping everything quiet, to let time heal the wounds I think. It's probably the most risk-less decision, something to be expected from UFP...

Same with me, they're now the most Quiet group of all h!p lineup. While MM is busy with their 20th anniversary, Anju with their overseas tour, JJ with their new lineup & new member, Tsubaki busy to promote new single & promotions, even C.G was busy.. Plus the new group seems to be exposed more. I'm just hoping Kobushi will push more. I think in Kobushi everything was fine until the incident occurred.

Today on Hello! Drive radio show, Hirose Ayaka says "Kitto Watashi wa" is Kobushi Factory's very first song written by Tsunku!

Actually.. they are not that quiet.. its just the fans that are quiet .. its not their turn to get their single promoted yet .. Its was MM, now its on TF .. just waiting for their turn ..
They have add dates to their Shine! tour and they are still on it ..
They have their radio shows, collaborations with various events and even some TV appearances ..
The members have their own work like ReiRei did gravure with Maria and Aarii .. Ayapan had an interview with Top Yell ..
The members are host for quite a few H!P shows in Haro Sute, upcoming and have regular feature like ReiRei beat boxing lessons and they performance quite regularly in the weekly Girls Live ..
Just that the if we don't look out for them .. we don't see it .. some of the news ain't post here or it is relatively minor in our minds that it went under our radar

It's finally happening. My dreams are coming true.

I love the outfits. As for the covers, i’m 50/50, though unlike Tsubaki’s single, the regular look better than the limited, so it’s a good thing for me if i decide to buy this single

[core2quad]

Thanks for the updates
Just saw the new covers and profile pictures

[AmaSusE]

Whenever there's a Tsunku song announced it is making me nervouse these days lol. Hopefully it will be more of the awesome kind like Date no Hi instead of Are you happy....

 

The outfits look super cute and summery . Covers looks promising as well - looks like we'll get another story-like MV like Kore kara da...?
