This is going to be a very short post. Pretty much all the inforation that seems to be available at this point is already in the headline. Well, almost. Here’s the long version:

At a public press conference at today’s Hey!Say!JUMP concert at Yokohama Arena it was announced that Hey!Say!JUMP are finally going to release their first album this summer.

And that’s it. No title, no exact date, no details of any kind, but right now I don’t care because this is the friggin’ best piece of news of the year! Of the last three years even.

As you may or may not know, Summer usually lasts three months, from mid-June to mid-September, but seeing that Johnny’s releases are usually announced five to six weeks in advance we might be looking at a release as early as June 9th or 16th, even though technically that’s still spring. ^^

As for the songs… well, we have five singles already, but I really hope they won’t be included on the album, or at least not all of them. I’d rather have an album full of new, previously unreleased stuff.

Anyway, I’m going to stalk the Japanese blogosphere now, and I’ll be back with more news as soon as I find it, so stay tuned.
