TV Station lists the title of Berryz Koubou’s 17th single as “Ike Ike Monkey Dance” (or Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance. The kanji can be read both ways.) The release date of the single has also been pushed back from June 25 to July 9. The Single V will now be released on July 23.

You’re also unsure of the title. I’m kinda learning towards the Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance More but hopefully CD Japan confirms it soon.

Wow, Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance, very interesting title. O__O

I was thinking it’d be ike ike o_o XD but we’ll see.
O_o it’s DEF an intersting title, and my first reaction was DEF a loud laugh… >_> Hopefully it’s another good fast paced dance song!

Strawberrie, we won’t find out if it’s Yuke or Ike until we hear the song. It’s because the kanji has 2 different readings.

I’m seeing 4 different readings:
“Ike Ike Monkey Dance”
“Ike Yuke Monkey Dance”
“Yuke Ike Monkey Dance”
“Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance”
:-p

Well the only reason I’m leaning toward “Yuke Yuke…” is because I have heard been read more often and two H!P have this reading before. Both were for the Rakuten Egales.
