So, will this "US" album only be available at certain conventions, or what? O.o

Either way, it's cool news.

Inazuma Eleven and Precure?

No wonder I've never heard of this group.

Well, good luck to them then.

Ah, so they're being pushed out to America because K-pop groups are becoming the rage now in Japan! Laughing

As funny as that would be, it doesn't make any sense. The American market for Japanese music is basically non-existent, so there's no gain in moving over to America, really, unless you're super popular like X Japan or L'Arc-en-Ciel.

That said, good for Berryz, though I don't listen to J-pop idol groups. It's a shame that more bands don't get releases in America, since it's super expensive ordering an album overseas.

I know of them, but then again, if they think they'll sell because their "anime" songs made them famous overseas... they are making a mistake.

But then again, this kind of groups are not my thing...
