Is that what it is? I was trying to figure it out...it sounded really good for a live, but then Yuuka's part didn't seem exactly like the single.
In any case, I love it! I'm so glad Captain is in this unit, and I'm addicted to C\ C! The dance is so cool...

For their B-side it's clear who sings the backing vocals: Kioku no Meiro

For the C/C song it's a little tricky to hear, but it's definitely Takahashi. There might be some Reina in there, I don't know: C/C

Nope.

@ phishn37: I was wondering if they were or not, but Takahashi messes up in the beginning and it's really obvious they are not really singing. =/ It was still good though.

To me the live sounded lipsynched.. but then again I don't have a very good ear.
Watching the dance shot (and paying attention this time), I have to say the best dancer was Taka. She's so graceful she makes the dance look effortless. Captain's upper body lacked some movements, though you have to really just look only at her to notice the details. Maimi was fierce, ie. aggresive and with some sex appeal.. but sometimes she exaggerates her movements. Reina's movements were precise, and her flirty smile (although not Niigaki-level) through the whole video was very fitting, but I don't think she's awesome. Yuuka's dance was good, sharp movements and all, but nowhere near the level of Taka/Captain/Maimi.

Yaguchi is one-four-five cm. XD

I caved in and listened to the preview of the c/w posted a while back. I like it a lot. I can't wait to hear the whole version.

Some might say it's "stupid parapara" but I think it's better than the title track and a good solid song all in all, where the non-MM members got several leads!

Probably been discussed elsewhere, but what the heck does "High-King" mean?
1. "Hiking"? :whistle:
2. A stoned king? :wacko:
3. wtf Tsunku-san?

In any case, the font for High King's logo is definitely stolen form Rolling Stone Magazine :whistle:

Well, a 'High King' is higher in rank to just a plain ol' King.
So maybe it's in reference to the group having the leaders of the three major groups in H!P making it kind of a "royal" group?

^^ If you read through Tsunku's comments about High-King you would get the answer to your question.

The criteria for selecting this unit's members was to choose the members of each group who excel in singing of course and dancing (Hip-Hop and R&B dancing too).
As for H!P egg Maeda, she was selected because she showed the most growth among all trainees.

The name of the unit "High-King" means "the most superior king".
Since they're girls, the word "queen" would have been more appropriate, but since it didn't have any punch, I chose the word "king" instead.


And the High-King font bearing a striking resemblence to the font of Rolling Stone has been commented on before too (you weren't the only one who thought of Rolling Stone...)

Good choice! Just have a look at what HIGH QUEEN would have revealed: http://www.highqueen.com/

Well, obviously not in this thread. At least the "search topic" button didn't bring any results for "rolling" or "stone" prior to my post (try it!)
