You stupid monkeys!
Being an idol is so easy a monkey can do it.
Being a monkey is so easy an idol can do it.
So does this means that a million idols typing at a million typewriters for an infinite amount of time can type out the complete works of William Shakespeare?
Finding some silver lining beneath this mess they call “Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance” will be hard, but I’ll try…
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.
I am now afraid that I may never get a chance on TLS to refer to Miyabi Natsuyaki as Seabiscuit. It appears that I waited too long on it! If (and when!) the decision gets handed down on Miyabi, I won’t be in the frame of mind to be calling Miyabi Seabiscuit.
But for now, I can get away with it. For example: Seabiscuit didn’t even stay in H!P to see Big Brown win the Triple Crown.
Whether or not Seabiscuit gets put out to pasture, she’s definitely going through some difficult times. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a scandal with Hello!Project. Because of who I am, I’d argue that it has been too long. Since we have had no scandals, we have had no talk of CURSES~!
But that’s about to change!

I love Miya in that purple maid outfit.
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.
In this round:
1. Hitomi Yoshizawa vs. 8. Danny Noriega
4. Miyabi Natsuyaki vs. 5. Rika Ishikawa
In this round:
4. Miyabi Natsuyaki vs. 13. Megumi Murata
5. Rika Ishikawa vs. 10. Atsuko Inaba
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.
I like Dschinghis Khan. That is, I like the German pop band. Truthfully, I only know two songs that they have done. The song Dschinghis Khan and Moskau. Moskau is the better of the two. The star of the band, Louis Hendrik Potgieter, was charismatic enough that I’d watch him doing almost anything. I can imagine him reading the daily newspaper dancing like he does in Moskau. It is a fantastic little scene in my head.
I like Koi no Dance Site. Morning Musume’s 8th single was fun. It was goofy and wacky. However, it all worked. Despite acting like goofs, there was a charm to it. It was a very different music video as it incorporated odd sets, many costume changes and a great deal of editing to achieve some special effects. Somehow, it fit the song, which involved a lot of nonsense “Ba ba bon’s” and “Uh ha’s.”
But I’m not so sure if I like Berryz Koubou’s Dschinghis Khan.
Paul Thomas is a TLS HERO! I’ve been holding off rankings for a while. But I have no reason not to now.
Also, I know that Paul is going to do rankings based on everyone voting in his poll. However, I am interested in my rankings compared to other International Wota bloggers. Therefore, I’ve figured out which bloggers have the closest rankings to me.
