Well now I am caught up on Haromoni. I don’t know if that is a good or bad thing.

Was Haromoni worth watching? It took me a week to watch it. There’s your answer.

Or A~chan or Kashiyuka for that matter.

Because that’s what we get in the Secret Secret PV!

I just watched an Oha Star clip uploaded to Hello!Online. Why did I watch this clip? I have no clue. I didn’t even read the description of it. I just downloaded it, watched and got some terrible comments that I am utterly ashamed of.

For what it’s worth - I’ve watched an episode of Kirarin Revolution. It is truly an awful show. I guess Koha and these two fools with her are acting out their characters on the show.

Will I keep up with Berikyuu? Probably not. I didn’t keep up with Musume Dokyu or Uta Doki. Too many files to download, too much to keep up with. It’s going to need to be some kind of show for me to follow it regularly.

But before I get to watching it - I have high hopes for Berikyuu.

Haromoni is not the same show it was when I started watching it on a weekly basis. Two months ago, the majority of the show consisted of the Musume girls watching videos. Now an episode of Haromoni is more about the girls themselves. In an ideal world, the show would be better due to the changes. It isn’t. It is true that the girls are acting out the majority of the videos. However, the videos are still boring, predictable and repetitive. It makes me wonder if they filmed a month’s worth of episodes at a time. It’s possible to get a hit using the same format and the same gags over and over, but more often it’ll be a miss.

Berikyuu will save me from this! It just HAS to. We are all starved for variety entertainment from the H!P Kids. DVDs of material only come by so often. Appearances on the music shows only come with releases. There has never really been a steady stream of variety material from the H!P Kids. I am of the belief that the majority of them can be great entertainers in these situations. But am I giving them the benefit of the doubt? The fact is that the Kids - unlike Morning Musume - haven’t have the chance to disappoint yet.

Last week’s episode was better than usual, but it came with the promise of Koharu Kusumi in a Superman costume this week. Haromoni licenses music or at least samples it. If they don’t play the Superman theme, I am ended this series and never watching Haromoni again.

I almost hope they don’t play it.

Well it wasn’t as bad as the last month.

No, it wasn’t worth watching. In fact, I decided that I wasn’t going to watch it this week and go do something productive.

Yah right, I wish.

This was the worst episode of Haromoni ever.

Activity has slowed down here at TLS this week. Truth be told, my attention has gone to International Wota as of late. I become a contributor to the site this week. I’ve had a lot of fun reading all different types of blogs that I normally wouldn’t look it. To think, I found something enjoying in a Johnny’s blog. When I started TLS a few months ago, that was not an outcome that I was expecting. Anyways, I definitely have a deeper appreciation for what Ray, wu-san, CJ, pengie and all the others do to keep the site updated. And of course, a deeper appreciation for all the other bloggers, because Intlwota wouldn’t be much of anything without blogs to cover.

I remember wu-san saying something along the lines, and I’m paraphrasing here, “most of my energy goes into Intlwota entries.” You ain’t kidding.

I’ve been completely enthralled with the three videos for Namie Amuro’s single 60s 70s 80s. I can’t believe how attracted I am to this woman 9 years older than me. The rankings for it right now go 60s (New Look) > 80s (What A Feeling) > 70s (Rock Steady). Sampling Baby Love and Flashdance (What A Feeling) works right up my alley, as I love those songs to no ends. If only the 70s was Don’t Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston, I’d have been ending this blog because true life would no longer have to be sought. I’m still having more and more fun listening and watching these songs, so drawing out a written opinion hasn’t happened yet. And it won’t happen in this entry. Time for a gigantic picspam. 105 images to be precise.
