I purposefully used an awful image of her. It didn’t take much searching. Ok, that was the last Mika Mutou joke, I swear.
I never thought I’d be writing this. I never thought I’d care that about Mika Mutou graduating. I never thought that I’d be upset that Mika Mutou was leaving. But, here we are.
some boys! blog has the report that Mika Mutou is graduating from Ongaku Gakas and Hello!Project.
And I am actually wish that Mika Mutou, OF ALL PEOPLE, would be staying.
There were not many Ai Kago reactions after all.
Buono’s Kiss!Kiss!Kiss! PV was released and can be viewed at some boys blog. I haven’t watched it yet so I don’t have any opinion. I just like that, after 2 previous singles, it’s possible to label this PV as “Typical Buono.”
There are more reviews for Perfume’s GAME. Shanimuni Paradise and boylikesmusicPerfume. It pains me to see that neither of them enjoy “take me take me” as much as I do. I will freely admit that I’m liking this song because it was made for the exact reasons Shanimuni points out:
If there was ever fan service in a song…….
They had an album called Fan Service, they are not above this!
I do enjoy that GAME is getting reactions to Perfume across the blogs. It’ll take some time to win over more fans and there are some who simply won’t pay attention to this group at all. This is slowly changing.
Posted on the Hello!Online tracker was Morning Musume’s appearance on Utaban. I am going to review this for TLS later on today as I have some fun comments for it. But real quick, this is a combination of mainstream Japan’s opinion of Morning Musume (Utaban doesn’t care about Momusu anymore) and an episode of Haromoni (boring rubbish as we watch Momusu watch other people do nothing). I would recommend watching this but it really is no different from the last few years of Morning Musume on these shows.
As for Airi Suzuki’s third photobook (from strawberrie)…
Aika. Kanna. Junjun.
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.
2006: Def Diva
2007: GAM
2008: C-ute
When it happens, you can all call it the Rakuten Eagles Curse.
* Morning Musume doesn’t count since The Manpower was A) not intended for the baseball team, B) did not have Rakuten Eagles in the title and C) would ruin my theory.
My guesses as to how:
1 - Chisato Okai pulls out a knife in the middle of a concert and finally cuts a solo line. In who is debatable.
2 - Erika Umeda gets caught in a scandal and rocks the foundation of the unit - haha, yah right.
3 - Japan gets sick of teenage girls - haha, yah right.
4 - Airi becomes a full-time member of Buono. What something that could seriously happen?
5 - Either Maimi or Mai is getting pregnant, or both - and potentially with the same baby daddy.
Regular scheduled programming has slowed on TLS. I’ve been trying to gather my thoughts on Aibon coming back. It’s been difficult putting together the right style for this entry. So instead of pushing myself any further, here is all I could come up with.
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.
Stolen from JPH!P - scans too oh damn oh damn
