I have been working this past month or so to getting things together to get this blog active once more. I decided in the end that August will be a big kick off month for that with a new post at least every other day and then September will go to what my planned schedule is to be going forward.
So thank you all that have been patiently waiting for something from me for this blog. I am finally reaching a point in my life where things are feeling stable for the most part. That stability is letting me truly get everything together so I can reach my future goals. Continuing to run this blog is a part of those goals and I am aiming to getting this on a stable schedule once more.

ANGERME is 9 once more
 |
| Kasahara Momona, front and center. |
Momona was a Kenshuusei with Hello! Project before being selected to join ANGERME. One can only assume this has been in the planning for a while as she is already performing with the group instead of having the usual grace period of a couple of months to train up before doing so.
It is interesting to see that this is yet another single member generation, but it should work out as Kamikokuryou Moe now has someone who is relatively new the group.
Honestly I have fallen a behind with keeping up with H!P in general but this announcement is pulling me back into things. I do enjoy ANGERME and as heartbroken as I was with Tamura Meimi graduating I still like the group. They seem to be shaping up to be really strong performers, especially with the new additions, and I look forward to seeing where they are going to go in the future.

Taking on Time Travel
Catching up with news for NEWS they have a new single coming out this month on the 13th.
It will be the theme song for the Japanese drama series, Toki o Kakeru Shoujo (The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), that will air in the 2016 summer drama season. Kato Shigeaki will have a role in the drama as a teacher.
Anime News Network article (English)
The single comes in three versions and the A-side is titled Koi wo Shiranai Kimi e.
The limited edition has the title track, a B-side titled Smile and a DVD that has the PV on it.
The regular edition is just a CD that has the two tracks the LE does as well as two bonus B-sides and the karaoke track of the title song.
The third version is a bundle of the two versions with some bonus extras exclusive to it. The exclusives are a box to hold the CDs as well as a bonus DVD that has the making of footage for the PV on it.
And even though there is a bundle version CDJapan has a bundle available for each of the three versions, for those fans that need a copy of each.
I made sure to get a copy of the third version when it became available since LEs with NEWS do tend to be pretty limited in quantity. Not to mention it seemed like a no brainer seeing that it is basically the RE and LE bundled together with some extras.
While I am excited for a new single from the group I really wish they would do something about their covers. Up to Chumu Chumu they were fine but the four headshots slapped on an uninspired background is quickly getting stale. Especially when their music videos continue to look good.
