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.
For the last week, I’ve been focused on Batman. It was an excellent movie, but there is the potential that Nolan & Co. made a tremendous mistake. If anyone wants to talk THE DARK KNIGHT (2008) with me, just email me.
Getting on track, this is an entry that I am going to have fun writing. TLS.com has been around for almost half a year now. I’ve had good entries in this time. However, there have been disasters. A blog that is active long enough is going to have some subpar entries. My blog has many of these.
So let’s look at the entries that didn’t live up to expectations. Entries that, in hindsight, I should not have posted. It’s time to expose these entries for the frauds that they are.
Some time has passed since the last “Was Haromoni Worth Watching?” entry on TLS. I believe the fact that I am not talking about the show anymore should give you an indication of whether or not you should be watching it.
The last Haromoni that I touched was May 25, 2008. That is a considerable backlog. That’s five episodes for the month of June. Let’s say each episode is 22 minutes long. That would be somewhere around 110 minutes.
What else could I do with that time? Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) was 102 minutes. Rear Window (1954) was 112 minutes. American Beauty (1999) was 122 minutes. All of them provide quality entertainment.
If you believe that I am going to sit down and watch every minute of all of those Haromoni episodes that I missed, you got another thing coming.
Why should I? What could I possibly have missed on those episodes of Haromoni? Nothing ever happens on this show.
And that is the theme for the latest episode.
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.
It’s hot. Too damn hot.
If you live on the east coast (the right coast) of North America, you know what I am talking about. A terrible heat wave has run rampant through these parts. Those of us that live in the northeast are not accustomed to this weather. We feel it is hot at 86°F (30°C), let alone temperatures pushing 100°F (~38°C).
Unfortunately, this heat wave is coming at the worst time possible. Lots of us want to cut down on our electricity bills. In years past, the immediate reaction to this weather is sticking in the air conditioner. I’m trying to hold out as long as possible. Several fans, ice and nudes of Hillary Clinton (think unsexy thoughts, think unsexy thoughts) have not made things cooler, so I need to turn to a new source.
So please, photobooks of Hello!Project, enjoy your beaches and pools. Anything to make me feel like I am there and not in this sweltering, humid heat.
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.
Ai Takahashi and Risa Niigaki…
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.
In this round:
1. Airi Suzuki vs. 4. Risa Niigaki
2. Arisa Noto vs. 11. Ayumi Shibata
Suzuki Finals
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.
Well now I am caught up on Haromoni. I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing.
