"3 Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz" (③夏夏ミニベリーズ, San Natsu Natsu Mini Berīzu, 3: Summer, Summer, Mini Berryz) is the third studio album (a mini-album) by the Japanese girl group Berryz Kobo. [1] It was released in Japan on July 5, 2006. [2] It's the group's third studio album (although this is a mini album), fourth non-single release, and fifteenth audio release overall.
3 Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz is a concept album with a summer theme. [1] It is also Berryz' second seasonal-themed release (Their previous EP, Special! Best Mini: 2.5 Maime no Kare, featured a winter theme in its artwork but no winter-related songs) and features their previous single " Jiriri Kiteru" along with five tracks exclusive to the EP.
The EP is equally notable to Berryz fans for featuring separate members, or clusters of members, covering summer-related Hello! Project songs by Aya Matsuura, Coconuts Musume, and 3nin Matsuri.
The album debuted at number 20 in the Oricon Weekly Single Chart, remaining in the list for 3 weeks. [3]
