Next release!

Just a short message before I leave for the mountains this weekend.

We've got a new H!F release!! \o/ yaaaaaaaaa~y!

This was the 44th single of Morning Musume and also the last one to feature the Turtle (Eri) and the Pandas (Lin² and Jun²).
At first this project was a real piece of *work*, but after consulting with my dear friend OJ and his awesome scripting help I was able to work out the finer points of this video, namely the whole color fiasco. You don't know how long I was working on this (and I actually forgot but about 4 months, I think) until it was finished. I was glad when the muse struck me again and I was able to finish it in a few short hours after having problems with this project for so long. Now it's done and we're actually chronologically on a good way. I think we're not missing a lot of other Momosu releases, per se. We've got everything done from the 31th to the 46th single. The 49th is already in the making, but we're currently missing the timings for the projects inbetween. We also got most single pre 31th done, except for maybe 5? though 3 of them were done by other groups... WOW, actually.

Okay. I need to make a run now. I'll see you all again for the next release!

Release roll-up post!

Sorry, that it took me so long. So here's a comprehensive list of the new releases.

1. Abe Natsumi - Ameagari no Niji no you ni

So, this was the last official single Nacchi released and marks her 12th solo single. I was glad we were able to get this done and it was also a great single to work on, as I was craving a slow ballad style song at the time and this was just the perfect project.
Nothing much else to say about it. Just enjoy!

2. Niigaki Risa - Egao ni Namida ~THANK YOU! MY DEAR FRIENDS~ (Reg+Close-Up Vers.)

So this project was a special wish of mine. It marks the Sotsugyou/Graduation single of Risa and is also a favorite song of mine, even before she covered it. The funny thing about this project was, that I told SC that I would like to do it sometime while uploading the raw, and lo-and-behold the next day I had shiny timings on my FTP that were just screaming for me to work on. Thanks again, SC! Love you! Especially since you did them the night before your Japan trip.

3. Mano Erina with Smileage - Lucky Aura (H!P '10 Winter Kachou Fuugetsu ~Mobekimasu!~) (BR)

So ever since this single came out (way back in her indie days) this song was just the thing for me. I loved the catchy tune and her voice in it and was sad when I found out, that there was never a PV released for this song. Well, I was glad when I found this awesome performance of the song and even more when I got the change to work on it. So please enjoy! It's even in shiny Blu-Ray quality and 60fps!

4. Berryz Koubou - Aa, Yo ga Akeru (BR)

So I actually swore that I would never work on this project (27th BK single) because I absolutely hate the song and costumes (I mean, really, nightgowns?!). Weeell, when the graving for a ballad overcame me again I was kind of force to do it - I mean, we didn't have any others timed. But while working on this project I actually enjoyed working on it. I still hate the costumes with a vengeance, but the song isn't as loathsome anymore. I can even listen to it now! :D

5. Berryz Koubou - Watashi no Mirai no Danna-sama (BR)

So back when we still took requests (by AimxAim, dinbesut, Goblin89) and we were actually pretty much on time with the current releases (wow, that's been a few years ago, actually) we started working on this, but ever since that song came out I had maaaajor problems with the effects. I adore the song, love it in fact, but I didn't get any creative ideas for it that worked with the PV. Now that was annoying, as you can imagine. I even tried to give it a Trainee or someone else, but noone was up to take it. Funnily enough, after finishing with Aa, Yo ga Akeru and looking at this PV again I had a sudden idea and here's the finished product.
SC released this yesterday and I hope you'll enjoy it.


So next up will be projects we determinded via a Facebook poll last week ( :D that was sooooooo much fun, I wanna do it again!!!). The winning results were Momosu with 2 more votes than °C-ute. So, now you know what will be next.

Busy-body

So, the weekend's over and I totally did not have the time to write a blogpost. How amazing is that? But I still was a busy-body. Honest! I actually finished 2 new PVs which will be coming out soon at H!F "central" ;) so I hope it's not that big an issue.

I already posted teaser pictures on our facebook page, so please check them out and if you can leave a comment. (We're desperate for comments [and attention!]...)

It's currently early moring and I worked most of yesterday afternoon and the night on our latest release, so I hope you'll like it. It'll probably be out late this week or early next week, depending on how SC feels, I guess.... o.Ó
Ah well.

I'll try to update my blog this week with releases that I haven't mentioned yet on the blog. So backdated posts, aaaah....

Okay, now time for a little shut eye... or I need to get some food or something, because my foot is jumping which is a sign that somethings not right.
I'll leave you now and I'll see you all back this week, right?

Work in progress

Sorry for showing up so late, again (and I hate that practically every post so far started with a similar apology). I always forget and the god-awful heat doesn’t help any.
SO, I’ll try to update the blog this weekend, so stay tuned for a few posts. Meanwhile, a short summary.

KIZUNA reached 300 releases!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *dances* YAAAAAY \o/
Finally! Though honestly, I totally forgot about it and was like: "Oh, that’s actually my 300^th video… weird!"

We also got some new H!F stuff releases – even HPFansubs participated and we got loads done!

I also started updating you guys via H!Fs Facebook page what’s going on in the Typesetting/Karaoke department. Soon, there’ll be another teaser picture ;)

We would love to see you interact with us via Facebook more often *pretty please* Or leave us a comment on our group page.

What else is there to say:

Ah yes, I had the glorious idea to clean my flat in an 88°F weather… that was stupid, but necessary.

I’ll see ya later!
