Well it looks like 2009 might just end up being the year we begin to get Hey! Say! JUMP subunit releases. And I'm saying this in light of the news that Hey! Say! 7 subunit will be doing a song for the time filler program Minna no Uta. The song is called Salsa Iina Iine and will join the block in April and will air for two months.
What Minna no Uta is for those who don't know, it's a block of songs, aimed mainly for children but some are more for a general audience, that is placed between programs on NHK to fill time. It runs a few times during the day and the songs are generally set to animation, IIRC. A couple of famous J-pop singers that have done a song for this program are Utada Hikaru and Ringo Shiina. Also to note early Johnny's group Four Leaves did a song for the program back when they were a Johnny's group.

I think it's interesting to see that Johnny's is finally moving in the direction of having the subunits begin to release their own songs. Of course I expect this song to end up being a B-side to the rumored upcoming single. I hope Hey! Say! BEST will get a song with tie-in for it as well if that's the case.
