Was Haromoni Ever Worth Watching?
When Mutou Mika graduated from Hello! Project, I wasn’t happy. That’s not to say that I liked Mika; I found her to be quite boring. Even though she didn’t bring much to the table, her presence was necessary. If anything, she made the other H!P Eggs in Ongaku Gatas stand out. I think it is hard for idols to stand out on their own merits alone. I find it is much easier to learn new idols by comparing and contrasting them to other idols. By being so helplessly boring and generic, Mika helped the likes of Mano Erina, Noto Arisa and Sawada Yuri stand out.
So, in the end, there was some benefit to Mutou Mika’s presence.
There was no saving grace with Haromoni. And now that it is dead, I can only come to one conclusion.
It wasn’t worth watching.
True Life Seek Is An Utter Failure
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.
Was Haromoni Worth Watching? May 4 & 11, 2008
Let’s keep things real simple, ok? Was anything in these two episodes worth watching?
That’s it.
If you were looking for more, I am sorry for the brevity. However, I simply cannot glorify these two episodes by spending much time and effort on them. Morning Musume has a big, giant memorization fest. This is not a single segment. The entire two episodes are the quizzes. They look at pictures of brussel sprouts and shit. They get quizzed on it. It is boring and it is rubbish. I wish that I could go back to a month ago and warn you all about how boring it truly is.
At least male fans have something to love Linlin now.
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.
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.

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