S/mileage – “Ganbaranakutemu ee nende!!” Tracklist Released

1. ○○ Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!!
2. ○○ Ganbaranakutemo iin da yo!! (Japanese ver.)
3. Smile Bijin
4. ○○ Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!! (Instrumental)

The track list for S/mileage’s 2nd major single titled Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!! has been released on the official H!P site.

The title for the c/w translates from Smile Bijin to Smile Beautiful Person (Woman) which is an interesting title since it slightly suggests a ballad song although we could get a happy song as well since the song seems to be about making a pretty girl smile, but hopefully we find out soon when a preview is released.

Hopefully all S/mileage fans can pick up a copy and support them.

The release date is set for 7/28.

Maeda Yuuka’s 1st PB Titled “Maeda Yuuka 15sai

The title for Maeda Yuuka’s 1st PB has been revealed to be Maeda Yuuka 15sai.

According to the description on the Wanibooks site we will get a chance to see Yuuka in a swimsuit, school uniform, casual clothes and also a Yukata which should be interesting.

The release date for the PB is about 5 days before the 2nd S/mileage single so it will be great to see if they will promote it along with the single or if Yuuka will appear at her own events to promote it herself.

Despite that I look forward to seeing the cover of the PB so hopefully some previews are released soon since it will be interesting to see what kind of theme the PB has.

The release date is set for 7/23.

S/mileage 2nd Single Details Released

Details about S/mileage’s 2nd single have been released. The single will be in Kansai-ben (Kansai dialect) and it will be titled ◯◯ Ganbaranakutemo ee nende!! (Eng: It’s okay even if you don’t do your best!!).

The title is very interesting since not only does the Oricon article mention that the title and song is in Kansai-ben, but that the single will also include a version in regular Japanese as well as another c/w, which is great news since it gives us a different type of single than what we are used to with three tracks (2 of them in different dialects).

According to the tweet we might get a preview of the song on next week’s Bijo Gaku, and we might even get a chance to listen to the full song later this month which is great news since it gives fans enough time to listen to the single and buy a copy to support them.
