The iOS version of Berryz Koubou and C-ute’s Chou HAPPY SONG app has been released.
An Android version of the app was released a few weeks ago and while it was pretty straightforward from the images what it was about, many of us hadn’t had a chance to use it due to lack of Android devices. That’s why I’m glad to see that the iOS version is finally out since we can check it out for ourselves, and while I was a bit optimistic about it, it didn’t really meet my expectations.
It’s basically an interactive ad, where you can move the slider at the bottom either way and it will focus more on the song that’s directly above it (left – Because Happiness, middle – Chou HAPPY SONG, right - Shiawase no Tochuu). After a while it did get somewhat boring since there wasn’t that much to do, but it was entertaining at least for some time. Unfortunately the song only plays for a short time and after that you are presented with a screen where you can click to buy the single, albums, or visit the official site.
This was an interesting release since it’s been quite some time since we got an app from UFA, and for the most part it was a nice addition to the promotion. Sure, many will probably open it up a few times then delete it, but it was a cute release to help promote the single, even if the three images you see are basically the only screens you’re going to see in the app.
Hopefully we get more promotion in this way since it’s a great way to enjoy the song first hand, but now I encourage everyone to download it and check it out. It’s free so it’s well worth taking a look at!
