New groups for the new OVA, "ANOTHER STORY"

For the new OVA series, "ANOTHER STORY ~ Kako to Mirai no Message", there will be three new groups who will be singing the OP and EDs.

Echizen Ryoma, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Momoshiro Takeshi and Kaidou Kaoru gets together to form the unit, "Seishun Soda" and will be in charge of the OP. This name was given by Konomi Takeshi-sensei.

The Osaka story's ED will be sung by the unit STONES which comprises of Oishi Shuuichirou, Shiraishi Kuranosuke, Ishida Gin and Kite Eishirou. All 4 members have the pronunciation of "ishi" which means stone, in their names.

As for the Hyotei story's ED, it will be performed by Hyotei Eternity i.e. Atobe Keigo, Mukahi Gakuto, Hiyoshi Wakashi and Ootori Choutarou. This marks their first song in 2 years.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm happy yet sad about this piece of news. Good thing is there are new units coming up but then I am disappointed to see the total omission of Rikkai members. Well, I must admit that on a team basis, Rikkai is my No.1 favourite so you can imagine my disappointment. However, since the OVA stories don't seem to involve them, I can understand why they are not in the lineup. And among the three groups, Hyotei Eternity is not exactly new so I was looking forward to see some new combinations from Hyotei e.g. Atobe and Oshitari forming a duo? STONES is a really interesting group...trust them to assemble those with the pronunciation "ishi" in their names. Seishun Soda doesn't offer much surprises though...

Anyway, I'll be looking forward to their new songs in the upcoming OVA so more news on that if the details for the CD releases are confirmed.

Otanjoubi Omedetou, Momoshiro Takeshi!

Today's the birthday of Momoshiro Takeshi, the hot-headed guy from Seigaku who never fails to provide comical relief especially when the atmosphere gets very tense. Being a person who always wears his heart on his sleeve, one would think that it's easy to see through Momo but as Inui puts it, Momo has a strong ability to observe the situation and his opponents which allows him to react in his best interests. Nevertheless, he has yet to realise his strength in this respect but he's definitely not the type who would want to put on an act in front of others as he's the straightforward sort.

When Momo's not playing the fool and get serious, it's better not to underestimate him. In this sense, he's somewhat similar to Fuji who may be smiling all the time and has a pleasant personality but flares up when anyone antagonises him especially when it involves his loved ones. However, Momo is quite different in this sense since he usually gets heated-up because of his desire to win.
