YES. Thank you, UF! This is something I've wanted again for so long. I'm excited. I wonder how much the styling will reflect the show?

[boinsie]

I wonder if this will be released as a new single? Especially since they're doing a PV for Mou Saikou!

[otaku_blue]

Oh wow that's a pretty good time slot right? Nice!
I hope they pull in a lot of new fans like Kirarin did for HP.

Also to be honest, those Trolls songs don't sound too bad...I think I'm looking forward to it now. It really does sound like typical idol music with the wow and yeahs.
I wonder if they'll be additional tracks on their new (rumoured) album?

if they think releasing two cover songs as main A-side songs will sell, maybe.

Riko says they already shot the MV. Look forward to its completion. They also rehearsed the songs today.

Riko bought the Trolls DVD too.

Mou Saikou! Music Video by Tsubaki Factory (Trolls TV Anime ending theme song)

[Denki]

Yeah... Tsubaki's cover is like 100x better than the original. Lol The ED has a very J-pop/idol feel.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

..Someone get Yumeno on a kids TV show ASAP.

[otaku_blue]

That was so cute! I love how how Kiki is the odd one out and is center. That's so shoujo anime-like.

Yumeno pretty much sang the last 30 seconds of the song and she's amazing.
It's weird how HP sounding the song is.
