Ai Takahashi and Risa Niigaki Cannot Be Pink Lady
Here is a video of Ai Takahashi and Risa Niigaki preparing for their roles as Pink Lady in the upcoming drama “Hitmaker Aku Yuu Monogatari“. It would appear that they are trying to put forth a “quality” performance.
Fail.
The following video is Pink Lady. I’ve linked it on TLS before. There is no “quality” about it - and that is why it is so perfect.

Was Haromoni Worth Watching? May 25, 2008
I am flying through these episodes now. That is not a good thing. It is due to skipping over television that I’d cry if I had to sit around and watch it any longer.
Was Haromoni Worth Watching? May 18, 2008
Certainly this week’s episode was better than the last two weeks. That isn’t saying much though. Was it worth watching? No, it never is. Regardless, I do watch it and review it. Why? I wonder that myself…
Was Haromoni Worth Watching? April 27, 2008
Today the TLS Time Travel Committee has decided that I, once again, have to travel back in Haromoni time and suffer through another episode. Let’s look at April 27’s episode.
One of These Things is Not Like the Others
One of these things just doesn’t belong
Can you tell which thing is not like the others,
By the time I finish my blog?
Makoto Ogawa went to New Zealand, and returned a regular human being.

Was Haromoni Worth Watching? April 20, 2008
Let’s travel back in time to April 20, 2008. Let’s watch an episode of Haromoni. 4/20 is a date commonly associated with weed, which is something you have to be smoking to enjoy this show.
Daily Links: April 22, 2008
As this is the first entry of this style, I want to catch up on a week of entries instead of just the most recent. I’ll be focusing on the last few days if I can. Furthermore, I have a lot of blog reading to catch up on. I’ve been working on the new theme today so I’m pretty far behind.
There is a new wave of podcasting in our International Wota community. My Pleasant Vista, Pink Wota, Stuck in a Pagoda with Motoko Aoyama, The H!P Opinions of a Metalhead and Raid My Minibar all have new podcasts within the last few days. It is a much more personable style that lots of IW bloggers have taken to. I really am interested to see not only who keeps at it but who else decides to try their hand at podcasting.
As for the current podcasts, I have to admit that I’ve skipped over the music that is played. I either know the song already or would rather listen to the suggested music at my own leisure. I wouldn’t suggest to anyone that is going to be podcasting to completely drop the idea of playing music. It depends on what type of audience you want. Personally, I love talk radio. Therefore, I am going to enjoy the parts where the host is talking more so than the music the host plays.
The big news today that I want to share comes from wiki.theppn.org, which has the sales charts for Oricon Week 17. What’s important to me is Perfume and Morning Musume.
Morning Musume clocks in at 3rd with 48k sales. Is this good? I think lots of fans will definitely be happy. I wouldn’t call it a resurgence yet though. It’s an improvement in sales but that’s only because Mikan sold so horribly on the Oricon chats. It’ll be interesting to see where RB goes from here and what style Morning Musume uses for their next single. With Kanashimi Twilight and now Resonant Blue being reasonable successes (at least compared to other recent MM singles), it wouldn’t make sense to switch things up again.
Perfume’s GAME sold 154k and is #1 for the week and I am so happy about this. When I first became a fan of Perfume, I never expected such things. I am under no illusions that they got #1 because of a relatively weak competition in albums this week. However, 6 figures is still 6 figures. Perfume’s popularity can be maintained if handled properly. Releases from the group have been spread apart, so overexposure doesn’t scare me at this point. I do know that the higher they climb, the harder they will fall.
