MOAR News and Merch!

There is never something not going on, being leaked, or released.  At least there is a ton to write about.  Congrats to Arashi for their great record sales.  Some AKB48 fans are hoping to beat Arashi's sales in some form.  (There was some talk about Heavy Rotation outselling Arashi's single, I believe it was Monster.)  AKB48, SKE48, and SDN48 have all been active because all three are releasing singles in the upcoming months.  SKE48 and SDN48 (and Perfume) are appearing on a Music Station special in November.  Let's get started with some previews to get you excited for other upcoming singles:

Morning Musume's 女と男のララバイゲーム


YuiKaori's HEARTBEATが止まらないっ！

So AKB48 is releasing a 2011 calendar featuring 14 members (the front girls of course).  There sure are a lot of previews already, but they may be just the special stuff.  Here is all the stuff CDJapan has for release:

"[Size: A3 / 7 pages] Calendar box set release from AKB48 featuring deluxe bonuses such as twelve original clear folders with each member's messages, 3D trading card featuring Yuko Oshima and Atsuko Maeda, twinkling stickers, serial number to download cell phone screen (valid only in Japan), original clear sticker (B5 size)"

Me want me want!  My birthday is in January so I have the perfect excuse to ask for it!  I was pretty excited after seeing the picture, but the goodies that will be included!  Makes it so much more worth the money.

Tomochin is releasing her fourth photobook, the third edition of her TomoCawaii series.  She is a fashion queen so I'm not surprised that she releases them with a magazine.  Tomochin was so nice to upload some previews onto her blog.  Plus this volume is cheaper than the last one!
