NEWS Happy Birthday single information

Well it looks like JE took no time in making sure their site was updated with the latest information for a new release for a change. Usually it takes a couple of days from the cdjapan listing for Johnny's net to have the information about it up. You can view the information in Japanese here.

What I can get from the Japanese is that both editions will have a 6 page booklet, which if I'm reading the Japanese correctly is the fold out variety. The differences between the Limited Edition and the Regular edition will be track listings and artwork for the jackets.

The track list for the Limited Edition is:

1) Happy Birthday
2) ガンガンガンパッテ(Gan Gan Gan Party)
3) GAME of LOVE
4) Happy Birthday (original karaoke)

The track listing for the Regular Edition is:

1) Happy Birthday
2) ガンガンガンパッテ(Gan Gan Gan Party)
3) Push Oh!

From the cdjapan listings it looked like the singles were only two songs each so it's nice to see that they are still the usual three like most NEWS singles. Even though it's not the most precise way to make a judgment on, but by going by the song titles of the B-sides it sounds like they will upbeat songs and no ballads. I think NEWS just might have the least ballads of any JE group (not counting Hey! Say! JUMP as they haven't even released an album yet).

But like I mentioned in my last post with this single it pretty much insures that the next cd release for NEWS will be an album. And I really hope the content of the album is more like Pacific than Touch, as I'm sure most NEWS fans like me feel that Pacific is the stronger album of the two.
