[5/22] PINK CRES. 1st Single „Tokyo Confusion/ Uchuu no Onna wa Amakunai“

The two songs are not part of the preview of their delayed album´s tracklist and have never been performed.
Tracklist consists of Tokyo Confusion, Uchuu no Onna wa amakunai (The women of the Universe aren`t sweet (?)) and their respective instrumentals.
First edition comes with a DVD as well, Regular Edition is songs only.
So far I`m not sure about whether this is an indies release or not (I`m guessing it probably is since nothing I`ve seen has said major debut or anything like that).
I`ll keep this post updated with news as I get them.
Post on their website: http://www.pinkcres....ws/detail/10085
Nihei has tweeted something about the single here: https://twitter.com/...8836112389?s=21
From my understanding, she`s saying that she knows everyone has been waiting for the album... but now they`re releasing a single instead! The members were surprised as well. She says that the album is being worked on to become an even better album and she`s asking us to look foward to the single for now.
Miya also commented on her insta story about it, saying „We`re surprised too!“ and added an OMG! gif and laughing emoji.
This kinda makes me wonder what they thought they were recording or if the songs were originally supposed to go on the album as well lol.

I'm so happy we finally have a solid date for something (even if it is over a month away). I'll still be looking forward to that album, but a first single will definitely help fill the void.

Ahh, I can't wait! PINK CRES's songs are always amazing, and I honestly tend to prefer singles to albums anyway so I'm happy lol. Preordering ASAP!

God I'm happy but why still no major debut?

UUG releases consistently and are doing well enough for themselves that they performed at Budokan and are obviously steady enough that they’re not dropping them and continue to build on their brand, and they’re indies. PINK seems to be following a little too closely in Lovendor’s footsteps, where they have like one release a year (albums), and only two members (the ones that ARENT the “main” member that started the group in the first place) do regular promo like radio and insta/YouTube lives and go to events and whatever together (they don’t promote together as three members very often is my point). PC is such an amazing group, even better than Lovendor was in my opinion, and deserve to be given 100% to help them be successful and they’re just not really getting 100% and I really don’t think going major will help them get that.

She doesn`t say which song it was for and the picture she posted hides her outfit. Apparently it was a pretty long shooting. She says she (maybe?) was able to film with a more relaxed expression even though she was nervous since it´s only her 4th time shooting an MV.
Additionally, I caught a bit of her mixchannel live today and asked her if we`d be getting 2 MVs. She didn`t really answer and just said „Please look foward to it“ with a big smile haha
She also talked about doing release events for this single.
In terms of promo, I think the main focus of the PINK CRES. Members in between releases has been to get Nihei and Hikaru more indivdiual recognition. This is why they do weekly solo live streams and why the M-LINE fanclub settings changed from having PINK CRES. As your favorite member - now you have to choose either miya, hikaru or nihei which wasn`t possible before, you had to go with the group. According to a fan report miya also said at an event that in Berryz she would feel pain and frustration when she noticed one of her fans had switched to another member, but she said within PINK CRES. It doesn`t feel like that. Rather, she feels a sense of pride and good for them.
I truly think they´re trying to bridge the gap in popularity somewhat.
I totally agree about wanting more steady releases... hopefully this single means the start of many more (and we`re still getting the album too, hopefully this year).

Love the weird opening, Hikaru is so cute
Nihei looks amazing in glasses!
And I looove miya with those braids in the traditional inspired outfit!!!
The song goes straight into your brain too!
So many fun moments, this is actually an up front MV you enjoy rewatching for more than just the cute gorls and probably Pink‘s best MV to date.
Hope the second one will be as good!!!

ngl I love the MV but the song is really not up my alley. That's kinda disappointing. I'd dance to it in the club but I can't find myself listening to it aside from that.

It does seem like they're going for more of a club vibe with the sound, and stylistically fits in the fashionista theme. I could easily imagine this song playing through a fashion show while the models make their way down the catwalk. It also seems like something that could be played in establishing shots for clubs or fashion shows in television and movies. For the casual listener, maybe an exercise playlist for the gym or while on a run?

Uchuu no Onna wa amakunai MV
... I guess two good MVs were too much to ask lmao
Also a chorus about dancing and no dance shot? That weird fish bowl looking lens? Meh
I do like the song though, not as much as Tokyo Confusion but still

^This, exactly
I mean, no dance shot, no close-up, not even shot in a proper studio but in a car...It's like they used all the budget for Tokyo Confusion lol. I am so disappointed and kinda frustrated.
The song is good, giving me Berryz-like vibes ("Magical Future" anyone ?), Hikaru's sweet singing voice and her rap part are the highlights of the music for me, on a par with Miya's last "amakunai" (Yu-ka was okay I guess), the melody in itself is not bad at all, and yet we got that as a MV...
As Punkin said, it's rushed. Obviously rushed.
I can't live without Berryz!
