Japanese Heroes & Performers

I really wanna go to Japan. Japan is the #1 place I want to go to before I die. You know why? Because there's always something new there. Something new always pops up, whether its TV, music, radio, etc. Why do I bring this up? Well, as you all probably know, I am a big fan of Super Sentai, the Japanese parent of Power Rangers, and Morning Musume, an all girl Japanese Pop group. And both Super Sentai and Morning Musume have brand new things to share to not only to Japan, but to the whole world....

Let's talk about Sentai first.

This year's Sentai team Tensou Sentai Goseiger is teaming up with last year's Samurai Sentai Shinkenger in Tensou Sentai Goseiger VS Shinkenger The Movie:



Japanese magazine scans also show that there will be an evil ShinkenRed. It is unsure if ShinkenRed turned evil or if he is just another evil Ranger, but either way, he looks pretty damn cool and seems to be that he will be pretty bad ass:



Now for Morning Musume.

Tsunku (MM's producer) has announced that Morning Musume will be releasing their 44th single called "Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game". Their profile picture on the official Hello! Project Website has changed and it is of the members in their outfits for this new single:



Covers for this new single have also surfaced online. They are small, but someone is bound to find larger versions of the covers and will release them onto the internet very soon. To look at these covers, click HERE!

Morning Musume's Generation 6 members, Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, and Tanaka Reina will have one last Photobook together before the graduation of Kamei Eri and 8th Generation members JunJun and LinLin. The photobook will be called "Morning Musume Kamei Eri, Michishige Sayumi, Tanaka Reina PB Kamei Eri Graduation Commemoration Hello Hello! Forever" It is set to be released November 12, 2010.

Also, Morning Musume is part of the cast for the movie Keitai Deka The Movie 3: Morning Musume Kyuushutsu Daisakusen! ~ Pandora no Hako no Himitsu~. As the title suggests Morning Musume will be part of the plot of the movie, which seems to be about a team of three detectives who are in charge of a case where Morning Musume mysteriously disappears from a bus. Hopefully a trailer will appear soon so we can see more of what the movie is about and how MM will be like in the movie. The movie will be in theaters beginning February 5, 2011:



And lastly, a radio preview of Muten Musume's (Morning Musume's food-promoting counterpart) coupling single "Kura Sushi Bikkurapon!" has been released. This will be the coupling single to their first single "Appare Ksiten Zushi!", which is set to be released on October 27, 2010. Here is the radio preview of the c/w track:



And that was new stuff from my favorite Japanese Heroes & Performers. :D
