*KireinoBijoux ~ Naichau Kamo by Dazzling Diamonds / I like this song, and it's been a while since I've heard it dubbed! There are a good deal of terrific duets and trios in this, like the "Naichau kamo"s at the end of the chorus. And in the pre-chorus you hear Me/Am and Da/Co sing together. Sadly this song is dominated by Ai and Reina solos, but you can't blame the girls for that and this is still a smashing dub all the same.

Ameimi sounds sensational, and Coco blew my mind at 1:28. I love Jang's Sayumi solos in the pre-chorus, and Memorie's 3:00 solo is fantastic! You don't hear any of the other singers solo, but they are in the various smaller groups AND in the two groups that sing in the chorus (Da/Me/Ja/Fuyu/Sootie & Co/Ja/Am/Miri/Mystery). I totally love them!! The blending is hardcore epic! This dub is so win.

*HanaEmiProject ~ Shochuu Omimai Moushiagemasu by Hikari / Ohmygosh, I am really like this project! I love their Waracchaou yo BOYFRIEND dub and their Yuke Yuke Money Dance is good too, and then they come out with this excellent release!! I'm not in love with this song, but I think it's ridiculously cute! HanaEmi's strength IMO is that they blend really well with each other! The group parts in this are spectacular!!

Ay/Kei/Ve and Nao/Eun/Ku are the two trios that sing together, besides that it's a few solos and full-cast lines. I love the verses!! Especially the little "ah ha ha" & "whoo oo" sounds inbetween the lines. They're a bit on the quite side, but SO CUTE! Plus I really like the simple but nice melody, and the brilliant blending.

As for solos, Ayuna sounds lovely and though her lines are short they're splendid! Eun Mi doesn't always have the best energy, but I think she did a great job in this dub! I am in love with her "desu"s (0:58, 2:34). The singing overall is awesome!! I like the trio-sung "Kotoshi no natsu wa"s and every "Shochuu omimai moushiagemasu" ~ I shall be on the lookout for the next HanaEmi release!

Misc Project Releases

*KireinaProject ~ The Bigaku by Yumi [SugoiiYumiChan] / I really like Yumi on the verse melody, especially her "yukouze MIDNIGHT" at 0:41ish. She delivers well and sings with a nice amount of energy and her own little bit of attitude. I like her "Cry cry cry" at 0:56, leading into the chorus. Her "Oi"s are cool, especially the part at 1:39- her "OI...MOTTO!!" is funny yet adorable and makes me smile. Yumi's higher notes (ex 1:23) are somewhat strained, but she sounds lovely+cute overall.



Rii [PrincessJoycie]
Micchy [Hikasaiii]
Jen [BanryuSaint]

*kOreanDUBs ~ For Muzik / Debut! This is the first release from this new project, check out their channel to learn more about them! Wow, this is a short song. At first I just thought it was a short dub, but I looked it up and it really is like this. The girls are said to sing in 'order of solos' but I was sort of confused sometimes. So because I'm unsure, I'm not using names.

I really like the "You never know where this music is gonna take you" in the first solo ~ it's so cute yet cool. The "hey"s and "ho"s are kickbutt. "Soul maker" (0:50) is sung with attitude, and I love how "aljido motamyeonseo" sounds (0:53). I also like "deo keuge let`s come" (0:57ish), which leads from one solo to another. The first line ("sesange deullyeojul dalkomhan nae mellodi") sounds awesome and is well delivered.

Overall there are little things that could probably be better, but the girls did their best and I like listening to them. We can look forward to hearing; I My Me Mine (4Minute), Abracadabra (Brown Eyed Girls), and Good Girl, Bad Girl (Miss A) from these three girls plus the group's other two members, Molly [MollyxFace] and Karlee [MomoxMochi].

*KireinoBijoux ~ Seishun Bus Guide by Shiny Sapphires / I was so happy when I saw that this unit had released more singles, because I've been stuck on their their Furare Pattern dub ever since I first heard it. I downloaded this a little bit ago and have listened to it quiet a few times since. The song has grown on me and this group of girls did a marvelous job on it!

You hear Fuyu and Mystery often because their parts have the most solos- both sound terrific! There are a good amount of smaller group parts throughout as well as fullcast lines, and the blending on them all is wonderful!! A few girls could use a bit more umph! but the energy for the most part is swell. This turned out nice!



Hannii (c), AutumnBaby (c), Corsica (k)
Bel (k), Eunmijjang (c), Mystery (k)

*KisetsuProject ~ Kaccho ee / CClyrics / These girls are the second generations to the Aki Koubou (k) and Haru-Cute (c), three to each unit. Hanni's "Ikimasu yo" at 1:36 is so sweet+cute! I think the "kaccho ee"s could use more punch, I don't feel anything from them. The faster lines in this song can be tricky, so the few stumbled solos are understandable. Practice brings progress!

Autumn and Eun Mi had some trouble- but I really like Eun's 2:42 "kaccho ee jan x2" solo, and Au's following "ookiku" solo is nice. Cor (1:55), My (2:31ish), Ha (2:37) and Bel (3:21) all sound splendid! I also like Mystery's 2:00 "kaccho ee jan x 2" solo, and all of the short little solos throughout are swell. This is a pleasant dub, though I'd like to hear the girls among their full groups on a different song~

EarthtoEata as Selina
Littledd as Ella

*KCJEntertainment ~ Yi Yan Wan Nian / I am entirely new to KCJE, but I am not new to S.H.E- I love them and don't listen to them nearly enough!! I've heard this song a few times before, but not in a long while. It's a somewhat tough song choice, since many slow songs and fast songs are difficult in their own ways. You've got to watch pitch and timing on a song like this. But whatever little thing may be picked at, I give these ladies props for giving it a go!

I didn't know what to expect, since I don't believe I have heard any of the singers in this before, but Eata was a pleasant surprise. Her opening "lei you dian xian you dian tian" is very lovely!! I really like her sweet voice, and her whole solo is enchanting. Lildd follows, her timing is close to iffy sometimes but she sounds marvelous all the same.

Ohmy, 1:20 is magnificent! The girls blend so well -like their "lian lian bu mie"- and they sound so pretty together!! After the chorus is Rainie, she's a bit pitchy and her timing isn't perfect, but I like her "de ce lian" (2:25) a lot and her ending "hui" is nice. 2:43 is a semi-short solo by Eata, followed by Lildd; frick, I love her "hai an xian yue rang ren liu lian" line at 2:51!! So pretty!

Then it's more of the chorus, and though the girls aren't always in sync, it's very soothing and lovely. All of the high notes -in group parts and solos- are managed well in this dub. I'm really glad I took the time to listen to this. It makes me want to explore KCJE much more!

Please!

KireinoBijoux's Furare Pattern (by Shiny Sapphires) will always have a special place among my affections, along with my other favorite dubs. Cause it's just so awesome. It's the second track on my current playlist (underneath HimeLand's Doki Doki Sister Soul). But I have only listened to maybe one or two other dubs by the project, so I figured I'd hear something else.

One of the reasons I like concert versions is because B-sides and tracks off albums don't have MVs, so they aren't often heard as much. Watching a concert dub means that I either discover a new song, or I get a different version than the same ol' same ol' MV. When I looked at what KireinoBijoux had for recent releases, I was immediately drawn to this next concert dub, because I don't know the song.

Please! Jiyuu no Tobira by Dazzling Diamonds / For some reason I had to turn my computer volume way up when listening to this. Was it mixed too quietly? Am I the only one who thinks it's quiet? Cause if I played something else on my computer right now, I'd go deaf from the volume I have my comp set at. Anyways, this is fantastic!! The song isn't amazing, but very peppy. The kind of song that grows on you as you listen.

There are a lot of duets, some other smaller groups, and only about a dozen solos. At first I didn't get what they were saying, then I saw the lyrics and it's "Please be freedom" lol. The first two solos of the song (0:14 & 0:19) are smashing!! Eririn has awesome vocals; lovely sounding and strongly delivered. The first set of duets are Am/Fu (0:30), Co/Pa (0:35), Me/Mi (0:40), and Ja/My (0:45).

If I were to try and talk about them each individually, I'd run out of words, or repeat myself- because all of them are spectacular! The blending is the best thing about this dub, it's brilliant! Also there is a fabulous level of energy! This cast really works together! After another epic solo from Eririn, it's Coco at 0:56- she is soooo sweet! Ohmygosh, Me/Am's "Kawaritai" at 1:01 is incredible!!

The chorus that follows is by two groups that stay the same throughout the dub, so I'm naming them~ Group1 is 1:02 (Er, Co, Ja, My) and Group2 is 1:09ish (Me, Am, Fu, Mi, Pa). Yay more blending! I wish G1's volume was louder; there are four girls singing, but they're too quiet as a group. I love G2, though one girl sort of sounds at the forefront for me. Overall they all sound splendid!! 1:13 is more pure win by Eririn.

Uwah, Ameimi is marvelous! She solos at 1:26 & 1:31 and sounds very cute! The duet pairs change in the second verse, it's Er/Fu at 1:42, followed by Me/Pa- both pairs sound super! 1:52 is Co/Mi and they're so adorable!!! The only pair that doesn't change is the last one, Ja/My at 1:57. 2:08 is Memoire and she sounds outstanding!

At 2:14ish it's more rockin' chorus, G2 on the first two lines and G1 on the last two. Ameimi solos again at 2:26, and it's just as awesome as her others. At times the loudness of some of her notes compared to the rest of the girls makes me wince; she sounds good! just loud. Maybe her part could have been mixed at a semi-quieter volume, so as to not stand out so much.

As usual with the majority of concert version, the second to last part of the song is cut out, jumping right to the last bit. Which is more "Please be freedom"s etc starting at 2:37. Inbetween the group parts are solos by Eririn and Ameimi, all of which are sensational! This is a really good dub!! I'm not in love with the song, but it's definitely a fun one and this dub is a pleasant listen.

Furare Pattern by Shiny Sapphires (KireinoBijoux) / I listened to this last night and it's AMAZING. I love love love it! This group of gals sound so freaking good crazy awesome. I've never listened to this song before, I don't think, but it's pretty catchy, and I adore how it's mostly a bunch of smaller groups taking turns. Lol, I color coded the cast this time to match the outfits that Berryz are wearing.

The beginning "Aishita kara samishii no"s are flipping spectacular!! They are epic throughout the whole dub! The blending sounds SO good, and I like how it starts out with just a few girls, and more come in with each line - and also how it starts out middle / low and higher parts get added in; most noticably so at 0:22 and 0:29. I especially love the latter, when Mystery comes in on the last line singing the harmony (if she is the one who has it there, I'm guessing so, since she is the last one to join in).

Miri does a fabulous job on her "I WANT YOU"s starting at 0:32 - it goes back and forth between her small solos and "I WANT YOU TONIGHT" duets by Mi/My. In the lyrics (projecthello) it has some "COME'N"s which I didn't pick up on them the first time, because they are quiet and occur mostly when other singing is going on, making them doubly hard to hear. I don't know if they are part of the instrumental made for this concert song and thus by Berryz...? Regardless, this whole little part sounds marvelous!

O M G, 0:39 just blows your mind. There is so much lovely blending in this dub! RABURABU! This first group is Am/Er/Se/Mi, and they sound super splendid! Following them at 0:46 is Ai/My/Me; they have a more mature sound than the first group, but sound just a frickin' wonderful! 0:55 is Airen & Memoire, I really like how they sound together, their "aishiteru" is nice. And at 1:01 is Ameimi & Eririn, their ending "kite ii" is really iffy (a tiny bit of pitchiness), but they also sound good as a duo and did well here.

Sen at 1:12 on one of the first actual solos (not including Miri's smaller ones), I adore her "Oh My Darlin" to pieces!! Yay chorus! which is all more little groups. GAHUWAH, I love it all!! I don't think I can choose what my favorite part of this dub is, since it's all magnificent! I suggest you take a look at the lyrics if you want to know who sings on which line. 1:42 is Memoire, her solo is short but totally nice. And then we have more of those amazing "Aishita kara samishii no"s.

At 2:07 is verses the second time around, the same groups singing, and again; epic blending. 2:22 is Airen & Miri, followed by Mystery & Eririn - both duets are fabulous and the girls all sound great! 2:35 is Memoire's longest solo, she sings with emotion and sounds marvelous! Following her is Sen at 2:39, this time I liked her "Chikatteta no ni" quite a bit! Though the rest of her solo is well delivered as well.

Chorus time! All of the "PATAAN"s in this dub turned out fantastically! I'm going to skip around a little now - 2:56 is Eririn, and wow! She suits Maasa really well with her mature voice, her "naru" is a little off key though. Argh, why does Captain always get so few lines; Airen's only solo is at 3:44, and it's lovely though short. And the last solosolo is by Mystery at 3:57 - not her best, she's a little weak, especially on the end of it. But I really like her harmony lines in this.

I know I said I wasn't sure, but I am; my favorite part of this dub is definitely the "Aishita kara samishii no" parts; I LOVE them. I really really like this, oodles and oodles. I haven't listened to much by this project, but this has totally caught my attention and I look forward to more epic dubs from them!!

Misc Project RRs

Love&Peace=Paradise by My-Chan (HanabiProjects) / Yay! My-chan sounds really cute/sweet. Yeah, there is some pitchiness, but it's not too bad. And in this dub, it's kind of endearing. She acknowledges that the song is a little high for her, but don't we all sing stuff out of our range now and then? My-Chan has pretty good energy, and overall I enjoyed. I look forward to her next solo~

MADAYADE by Shiny Sapphires (KireinoBijoux) / LOL, I got sidetracked watching the video as I listened and before I knew it was I was doing those hands-in-the-air moves while I cheered the "HAH"s along with them, and also the swirly hand movement they do during the "mada mada madayade" parts. I can't help it, the chorus is so catchy. Annnnd, my mind easily thought that I was listening to Berryz!

Anyways, on the actual dub itself. All of the solos sounded good and were well delivered, but most people could have used more energy. The chorus and group parts are fan-freaking-tastic!! My favorite part of the dub, hands down. I think this is a very good debut! Just up the energy a notch and the next dub will be smashing!

Going On! by Sukai (HoshiDubs) / Very nice! I'm having a blank moment and can't think of anything good to say. This is a great cast, and every one of them sounds splendid! I'm glad it was noted that the harmonies are from the original song, cause then I made sure to pay more attention to the duets and solos, since I wanna hear these lovely ladies. The energy level overall could be better, but I like the solos a lot; there were so many good ones in this.

KnB's debut

The above partial image was pulled from Kirei no Bijoux's forums. They are a recently created dubbing project run by Ameimii and Memoiree, and just released their first groupdub! I found out about them somehow around a month ago and promised to keep an eye out for their debut. I have limited knowledge and shall try and find out more.

KnB currently has four main groups; Dazzling Diamonds (covering mainly Morning Musume), Radiant Rubies (covering mainly C-ute), Shiny Sapphires (covering mainly Berryz Koubou), & Pearl Babies (covering all kinds of H!P groups). There are 20+ members overall, some participating in more than one group.

List of who's in each group is listed on their channel. If you explore the forums a little, you can read about what the debut release from the other groups will be. Right now it looks like; Onna ni Sachi Are by Diamonds, Madayade by Sapphires, and Cinderella\Complex by PearlBs. Each single will also have a B-side. As for Radiant Rubies~

Edo no Temari Uta II / Not a very long dub, but still a fabulous one! I really like the group parts, the blending; everyone sounds great together. The chorus is really catchy, and these ladies did a fabulous job singing it. LOL, I looked up the lyrics, and I'd never knew that they were counting in this song. Like the "Hiiya Fuuya Miiya Youya" etc, parts.

Memoiree at 0:32 on the opening solo, she has such a lovely voice. Following her is LL at 0:39 with good energy! 0:42 is Miri, sounding very cute but she could have maybe been a little bit louder. I adore Fuyu as Airi! Her first solo is at 0:45, and she sounds great on her little "ee" vocal bit in the middle of the line. She also sinsgs at 1:13 right after the first chorus. A very Airi-ish voice, but all her own. Cute.

1:20 is Mai as Mai (lol). She almost seems to, slur? Like "Honoo ni." Her diction could use some work, but she does have a kawaii voice. Airen at 1:23, it's hard to form an opinion of someone from one line, but what I did hear was wonderful. 1:26 is Mystery. She had good energy and I liked the little vibrato on her ending note.

Congrats to Radiant Rubies on their debut! Keep an eye out for the B-side to this single, Wasuretakunai Natsu, as well as more from Kirei no Bijoux's other groups in the future! This looks to be a promising project~
