My favourite idol releases from this month!
僕たちは戦わない
~We Will Never Fight~
AKB48
Of course, Sousenkyo single is my best single this month. When the audio for this was released, I was taken aback by the fact that it wasn't the usual Summer anthem. It sounded like a folky electro version of Kaze wa Fuiteiru (another AKB single that I really love). I think this song is fantastic and the PV is really well made. The plot lacks and really isn't as good as some of their best pvs but the imagery is lovely and the song lyrics has a nice message.

~Flower~
Kikkawa You
This is an 18 minute long idol song (!!!) and they released this and promoted it based on this fact. I think many aspects of this song are really lovely and I understand the gimmick of making it super long but I think split in three would have made great songs and pv's! The budget of the PV isn't the best but even so, I think it turned out really nice. I managed to watch the whole video without being bored (which I can't say the same for some other standard 4 min. idol videos, but I think that's a testament to how much I enjoy Kikka's music!)
There actually weren't that many others I was interested in this month?? If I recall correctly, there wasn't a single Hello!Pro release this month which is weird and now I feel they are going to be all bundled together later this summer. It's ok, because these two releases were really nice and exciting enough to make up for the lack of releases for me, this month.
