Aa!

あぁ！

Members:
- Reina Tanaka (Leader, Morning Musume)
- Airi Suzuki (°C-ute)
- Miyabi Natsuyaki (Berryz Koubou)

Songs:
- First Kiss (1st and only single)
- Masayume (b-side track)

unfortunately they never did anything else than performing first kiss. their last performance was in 2006 at the h!p winter 2006 ~wonderful hearts~ concert (but they weren't officially credited as "aa!"). in my opinion masayume is one of the best h!p ballads ever so it's a shame it was never performed live at least once. aa! was the group that featured 3 of the biggest h!p talents...unfortunately they didn't get more attention

When i think of Aa! i think mostly about Reina, and lately more about Miyabi. Airi was always that third girl there Well to be honest she has changed totally since that days. The other two also have changed a lot, Reina was the heighest one yes? And now she is the smallest? Funny thing isnt it? Well First Kiss is great song, very nice aside but masayume is really growing lately on me, touching song.

[Tetsik]

I forgot to add "for me". I mean that when i was looking at them i was mostly thinking about the other two cause i know them better. Airi was "that kid from h!p".

You never know. It might appear in an H!P concert several years later and everyone will be thinking "Damn, I know this song, but what's it called"

Tsunku likes to dig in the past for his setlists!

[Comandante Garlix]

One of my favorite subgroups. And coincidentally, I was just talking with someone about how I wish Masayume were performed at a concert earlier today.
Both that and First Kiss are two of my favorite H!P songs. I wish they could've done more... but at least we have Buono.

[hekomirukii]

i nvr noticed this thread!!

I think Aa! should've just had more than 1 single...i nvr owned this one
I think Masayume, is a really good song!! I listen to it when im trying to sleep X3!!


...Airirin's holy chin..is growing in tht picture

*looks at Miya's chin* *cough*long chin*cough*

[Nouciel]

Their 2006 performance was such. a. tease. I was actually waiting for their comeback. :B

[sanrio]

this is prolbaby my fav subgroup ever (um.. or maybe Buono! is)

but for sure, First Kiss is my #1 fav H!P song!!!!

i really hope this group will reunit and start to release new stuff again soemday, the most interesting thing about this group is that it contains one member from each of 3 main H!P groups

chibi airi

I've only heard the Evil Morning version but that's probably one of my favorite songs.

[Ego]

I really liked it and I was sad that they never released another single. I still can't believe that little girl is Suzuki Airi. She just looks so different. After I found out more about them I was surprised to find out that was their only song.

Also here's the music video and stage performance everyone probably already saw.

Well, a slight advancement occurred on the Masayume front this week, I see. That song was played on Reina's radio show (and First Kiss was played last week).
Perhaps this could lead to the song being played at other times...

[jelly man]

aa! love their first single !!!

first kiss and 正夢 are super coolll

suppport ^^""

[Alienpyon]

I believe Reina was the "bait" in this case (like Yaguchi was in ZYX). Who whould have shown interest in Aa! but for Reina's sake?

Well, that policy worked with me; I bought the single beacuse of Reina's involvement. Then, it turned out to be a very good song, as well. Ah, those marketing rules...

[Shakey_Jake33]

Just listened to Aa! for the first time, on the Hello Project Wonderful Hearts DVD no less - you guys are right, it was great stuff Definatelly going to get more of this (what little more there is).

[laurie333361]

I think they were better to sing this sing this song when they were young because their young voices were perfect for the song.
And Airi was so good when she was only 9 years old !

See? Tsunku knew what he was doing back then. What has he been doing now to boost MM's sales? Not freaking much

And Airi was so good when she was only 9 years old !

You HAD to remind me of that, didn't you ?

[mangomalte]

I've only heard the Evil Morning version but that's probably one of my favorite songs.
