Hello! Project Champloo ~Happy Marriage Song Shuu~ A.K.A. – the cover album (Mayuge Madness)
All this H!P Revival groups nonsense… (Sora to Kujira)

I have no idea if these lineups are “official” or not, but I am going to assume that they are.  Liamers and Jin have the tracklists and artists, but they go on to do detailed analysis/predictions on the lineups for each track.

Liamers is most excited about the ZYX and Tanpopo revivals, which isn’t surprising given he sees thing through “Gaki-colored” glasses.  But he is most skeptical about the Pucchi Moni group.  This is the result of what was being discussed here on IW a few days ago with regards to Manoeri.  Her inclusion in this unit along with MaiMai (who also seems to be getting a lot of flak lately) draws immediate skepticism.  Not that I disagree.  I am not excited about that lineup either.  But H!P has proved me wrong so many times before.  Just watch, Pucchi Moni V will blow everyone away!

On the other hand Jin has the least expectations from the ZYX revival mainly because of the absence of the two H!P Kids group leaders from the lineup.  Oh yes, I loved Captain in ZYX!  Like Liamers, Jin is interested in the Tanpopo lineup.  But he is also anticipating the new MiniMoni.  He rates each sub-unit on a 1-5 scale.

I dunno.  I understand that they all have the old group names.  But with the exception of High-King these are essentially brand new units.  So I don’t see any point in comparing them to the old groups, unless of course they start covering the old songs.  So far there hasn’t been a sign of that, and after witnessing the genius of Tsunku at AX last week I will give him and them the benefit of the doubt.
