H!P Heads Nationwide

To celebrate H!P`s Mobekimasu super unit ,they have organized a nationwide single day promotional campaign . On the October 29  all the members of the company will split up and deploy nationwide for a promotional campaign for their upcoming single "Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku".

This nationwide campaign will include concerts and fan talk events ,there will also be restricted to pre order sales only handshake events.

In addition to the location events , members will be on 13 television shows , 5 radio shows , 15 magazine features and Sayu`s web show as part of the promotional events for this single [some of which has already started to air or have been published].

Note-This list is growing faster then I can complete this post ,UF/H!P are gong all in for this single.

Moving into November the super unit will hold a live event on the 23rd at Yomiuri Land Open Theater EAST ,called “Hello! Project☆Festival 2011“.

For some time now our media has called the move of more and more idol groups and companies making a mark on the industry “The age of idol wars” ,many fans and media outlets have wondered if or when H!P would go all in and join this fight ,it looks from this campaign ,that the decision has been made at last at least for one single ,to go all in and join the battle full force with an open checkbook.

On November 16 under the name, Mobekimasu a super unit created from the combined units of Morning Musume + 10th generation members, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, Mano Erina, “new” S/mileage, members of Hello! Pro Egg, are going to be releasing a single called “Busu ni Naranai Tetsugaku”.

The single will come in seven  editions and each unit  will have their own coupling track on an individual single. As an added bonus the single will come with handshake tickets for an H!P fan event.

So as H!P becomes H!P48 for at least one single [ multiple units combined for a single , units with their own coupling tracks ,trainees having an active role and multiple CD versions ,wota handshake tickets] ,I would caution fans of H!P thinking that this will be some kind of epic sales result by counting the average sales of each unit together .

H!P units for the most part share wotas with a few single unit hardcore dedicated fans . A good measuring stick is the old H!P All Stars single which sold 60,000+ copies. Anything less then that would be a disappointment for this release .

While I may find it funny that this has so many comparisons to another company that it`s like being H!P48 ,I think a single of this type just maybe what the agency needs to generate new interest.
