yup so most of ya'll already know about them but they are a new H!P to promote the Cinderella Musical



starring

* Takahashi Ai (高橋愛) (Morning Musume)
* Tanaka Reina (田中れいな) (Morning Musume)
* Shimizu Saki (清水佐紀) (Berryz Koubou)
* Yajima Maimi (矢島舞美) (°C-ute)
* Maeda Yuuka (前田憂佳) (Hello! Pro Egg)

their first single is called Cinderella/Complex and will be released 2008.06.11

preview here:







I personally really love C/C and I am thin king of buying it. they all look so cool in their costumes

[ck2]

I was gonna create this thread after the C\C thread @ General was created, but I thought the C\C thread is enough ..............................................

and I still do

LOL

anyway,

I'll try to spam here as well

[phishn37]

Ooh, thanks for making a thread for them ~ !

Super exited for High-King and C/C!

[Haylee]

I'm so happy to see Shimizu Saki in a unit. I could have done without Reina being there, but anyway, this group looks pretty good. C/C will have to grow on me, but I'm hoping for a cool music video with lots of dancing for it. And not just close-ups of Takahashi and Tanaka.

[mixedmedia]

Hope they get some good appearances with talks on some music shows to promote the single/musical.

Hiking with High King!

omg I love the pv. it looks so cool

[Cherryblossom48]

i have just listened to the b-side and im loving that as well
its more what i was expecting and you get to hear the others sing beside reina and ai!!!!!!!

[drahzaar]

just saw the pv and i love this group...Reina looks good, the egg is cute and the other 3 are great to of course

[Kreuz]

I like the song and the PV is not boring...
wiiii... waiting for the performances

[ChobiMM3]

Is it just me or goes Yuuka sound just like Momoko from Berryz?
And I'd like the PV more if there was less Ai and Reina But it's good - it fits the song (even though I still can't see how the song will promote the musical...)

[Nouciel]

Yeah, Yuuka sounds just like the high-pitched Momo's voice. But Momo has a deep voice (that she rarely uses) too.

And even though I love all the members in this unit, it's still very weird why they didn't make this an MM subgroup (Ai+Reina+a couple of girls more). Cinderella Complex is the unit that will promote MM's Cinderella musical, which doesn't have Kids or Eggs on any role, not even background dancers. I mean... they don't lack good dancers in MM. In fact, dancing is possibly the best thing they're good at
Though it's Tsunku's choice to pimp the non-MM girls, even if I don't agree with it. But I think he still understands that he's not wasting an opportunity when he promotes the MM girls in groups other than MM. So that's why I think that Reina and Ai are prominently featured in the video. They're leads in MM, and MM as a whole needs more public acknowledge. So.. this group may put MM in the spotlight a bit more, depending on other factors of course.

[drahzaar]

well i actually thought Yuka was Momoko for a sec because her and Risako are the only two i actually can recognize at the moment from Berryz or C-ute .
Maimi looks cute tho, is she the fast girl?

[Kreuz]

drahzaar yeah... she's the fast girl
I have seen the Pv like 3 or 4 times, and I just noticed something in the choreography: SOME BOYS! TOUCH!!!!

I can see why Tsunku chose the members he chose though: Ai because she's the leader of Momusu, Reina because... god, she's been everywhere lately, Saki and Maimi because they are the leaders of their groups, and Yuuka because she's one of the most popular, if not most involved, eggs. It makes sense, and it wouldn't be bad if it wasn't just made for the musical http://www.hello-onl...tyle_emoticons/hello-online/c33.gif

And yeah, I have to say Saki and Maimi did a really great job in the PV

[offtopic] On the whole picture though, Ai has gotten way more spotlight than Reina. Lead singer on pretty much every single since Do It Now, protagonist role on two big musical collaborations with Takarazuka, feature on all the shuffle groups created since she's joined H!P? And Reina was featured a lot until 2005, then got the spotlight again around late 2007. [/offtopic]

I guess when they promote Cinderella Complex (on shows/stores/billboards), they'll say something about the Cinderella musical (although it starts more than two months later than the single release..). Other than that.. I don't think they'll perform the song at the actual musical. http://www.hello-onl...tyle_emoticons/hello-online/c20.gif

sometimes i feel bad for poor Tsunku who has to write for so many groups and solo's that he knows wont make it big, but if they had to keep a group im picking this one right now
Kreuz_Asakura: i didn't notice that but maybe it subliminally affected my judgement lol

[phishn37]

They probably will only release one single, because they're a promotion group. I'm sad to see them go so fast ~ !

[Chachimaru]

^ ahh yeah, the song/group is kinda growing on me~
maybe if this single sells really really they'll do another one

[ChobiMM3]

^
let's hope that...because for now i really love this unit

Sadly, as Wiki.ThePPN reports, it's only for the musical this year
