Immediately the cover alone strikes you as so cute♥!!…as it was shot in a sort of a “Hard Day’s Night” type of way where Manoeri improvises for the camera creating a wall of adorable and funny facial poses to create a collage of colorful expressions~. Mm before getting to the album tracks which features many new songs including just a few single tracks there’s a couple of great surprises on the LE’s DVD =)!
Mano Eri’s “MORE FRIENDS” can be ordered here @ Cdjapan.
Mano Eri’s “MORE FRIENDS” can be ordered here @ HMV Japan.
Mano Eri’s “MORE FRIENDS” can be ordered here @ YesAsia.
First there’s another variation of the director’s cut pv and this version is so so entertaining as it plays out like a live~action comic with how all of the dialog pops up in bubbles throughout and if for no other reason than seeing how this super~powered genki* beverage when consumed can materialize both Mano and that red~guy into your room in an instant…..watch it to…….
..see Manoeri whip him, just a few more times (^q^)!
And while we’ve already witnessed Manobug, Manolaundry, Manobucket, Manopiano and even Manobaby, also watch the DVD for lots and lots of Manoeating…
..and remember the world premier movie event for “Kaiki Tales of terror from Tokyo” @ Club Nokia which occurred in LA coinciding with the 2010 Anime Expo event? I’m so looking forward to watching this movie!!!..and there’s just a tiny glimpse here but I imagine with the movie’s official DVD release happening early next year there may be lots of additional candid footage from the event to come and here it includes her mini~live, some fan reactions and Manoeri’s @ the Anime Expo and it looks like she’s shopping?….so lucky~* if had the chance to meet here there!!
When it comes to Manoeri~♥ I hope she never sheds that innocence and that sweet girl~next~door aura she has in her voice and demeanor, still with songs like “Tomorrow” Manoeri shows a great maturity and growth in her vocals and the double~tracking sounds great too here =)! “Genkimono de ikou!” powers up lol if that was even thought to be possible 😛 and some of my other favorite songs include the latin~jazzy~pop feel of “Dare ni mo iwanaide”, the bouncy “Gomen, hanashitakatta dake”, the sweet~ballad “Arashi no mae no candle”, “Uchi e kaerou (sad version)” which is the theme for “Kaiki”….and surely by far the most interesting song “Datenshi Eri~” (“駄” meaning “fallen” as in “fallen~angel”) which plays very much like a radio comedy/musical =D.

~making of glimpse….
Yes a good album and better than the first in my opinion . I agree with you , MB , Mano does have a girl next door sweetness about her -only wish she actually was ! It can’t be that easy for her being on her own as distinct from the other girls in groups but she is one of my favourite HP girls . I think she has a strong comical side to her which hopefully will get exploted in the future.

I think so too and just how the songs are much more flavored with more styles and really Manoeri’s vocals have grown so much =). E~hhh lol wonders what it would be like living next door to Manoeri~♥...(*´∀`) うれしー♥♥♥!I hope we can see more humor too from her as it’s really the sort of thing that can endear fans to her that much more~♥. It’s really wonderful too how H!P helps with developing their Eggs with Manoeri’s help so much as just like with Johnny’s concerts Manoeri’s shows always features lots of Eggs in her performances ^ ^。

U~n the idea using hula~hoops was awesome!!…reminded me of school just now (*´∀`)..♥。The photographer just taking snaps while Manoeri had fun with all sorts of different facial expressions~* really made a great cover….have you watched “A Hard Days Night?”…..there’s a scene where George is making funny faces during a photo shoot like on the album’s cover =).
