Former Berryz Koubou member Natsuyaki Miyabi will return to the music scene in new group PINK CRES.

PINK CRES. is a trio under UP-FONT CREATE, which also serves as the label for Up Up Girls (Kari) and many former Hello! Project members. PINK is the official group color, and CRES is an abbreviation for the musical term “crescendo,” which means music gradually increasing in loudness and represents the group’s gradual growth.

Have you noticed the music on YouTube or any other music download or streaming service sounds better when played from a CD?

Japanese music service RecoChoku has begun the distribution of “high-resolution” music—a high fidelity sound that exceeds the compressed quality found on CDs.

High-fidelity sound can be found in music files that haven’t been compressed, while most other services, including Spotify, Pandora, Youtube, and those less than legal downloads many fans have to resort to, etc. deliver significantly compressed audio/music files with a steep cut in quality for the sake of smaller files sizes and quicker downloading speeds.

Sexy Zone’s Nakajima Kento will be starring in NTV’s drama special “Guard Centre 24 Kouiki Keibi Shireishitsu” (Guard Centre 24).

International fans in Asia will have a chance to catch the drama real time as it will air simultaneously via paid channel GEM in 6 other countries: Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Tune in as it airs September 16 (Friday, 9:00 pm JST).

This is Nakajima’s first leading role in the golden timeslot and also the first drama to air simultaneously in 6 countries. He plays the role of Shinomiya Mamoru, a newly-hired emergency responder of a security company tasked to manage the security guards at the Center. Although he is seen as unqualified, he was appointed to the job by Takaya (Kamikawa Takaya). Kuriyama Chiaki plays a senior at work.

The rest of the cast include Tanaka Kei, Kendo Kobayashi, Horiuchi Keiko, Nakamura Baijaku, Takahata Atsuko, Johnnys Jr Iwahashi Genki, Kawaei Rina, Izumi Soji, Tani Kanon and Maeda Goki.
