Sorry Been Lazy on Holidays and MIA

Sorry I was on holidays and got really lazy and didn't update my blog for a month. In that time quite a few big releases have came into the H!P world we have a new MM single a new Koharu and what im most excited about the new Buono! single Conomichi. Also I have seen the arrival of Cinderella the musical and Alo Hello 3 which both excite me alot. Lately i have been spending my time on AKB48 which is blasfemy for a H!P wota but i cant help it they are japanese cute and exciting and their tv show actually doesnt suck which i cant say for other idol groups.....

I actually have been keeping up on Yorosen also with Risa as teacher how could i have not, I didnt find it the most entertaining show as of yet but damn the MM girls look good in it and

I am heading to Japan in a few weeks now and should be able to catch a few shows starting with Buono!, might get some AKB48 if i can successly get a ticket and then closing off with my most anticipated Berryz Koubou. Should be going to Nagoya also so might get to see SKE48 if i am lucky enough.

I will surely bring my experiences back with me and share all the good times ive had also. Will need to do some blogging over there to keep people updated on my adventure, but i have been to Japan before twice actually but this will be the first time i am actually planning anything Jpop related as before my friends whould have shunned me but this time i CBF what they think im doing it.

Amimi's best of 2008 Poll Responce

With all the lazyness of my blog of late i thought i should get back into the swing of it and who could convince me more then a 15 year old asian @ #wotachat Amy or Amimi as i call her. She has a best of 2008 H!P poll up on her site and i recommend voting if you have the time http://amy.unchained.nu/. Well here goes for my answers.....

Bests

Best Group Single - C-ute : LALALA Shiawase no Uta

What can i say it has all the aspects i Admire from C-ute catchy as lyrics which boar into your brain and will never escape again.

Best Soloist Single - Matsuura Aya : Kichinto chicken

Well this one was a pretty hard one to pick as i really love Mikitty but i just didnt think this song was up to snuff with Kizuna from Ayaya. After all this i have confired with the judge and she said i could have kichinto chicken from Ayaya so in the end im going with that.

Best Group Album - Buono! : Cafe Buono!

Well its Buono! they have so many catch tunes on this album it has to be one of my fav H!P albums of all time and therefore beats out the competition this year.

Best Soloist Album - Kusumi Koharu - Kirari to Fuyu

Well it is Koha i dont particularly love her (unless shes in a bikini) but there wasnt that much competition and this album is still quite good so she wins.

Best PV - Athena and Robikerottsu : Seishun Love Lunch

This was gonna be down to Kiss Kiss Kiss and Seishun Love Lunch but the latter won out in the end with how truely awesomely cute the girls look. I love to see Gaki and Mitsui doing the non morning musume thing and have a happy upbeat song.

Group With Best Overall Releases - Buono!

Well i guess Buono! were my hit of the year they had an awesome CD with Superb singles and wrap that up with entertaining PV's makes them best releases of the year.

Best New Group (debuted in 2008) - Shugo Chara Eggs

With Buono! being a bit too old to fit in the catagory i have to say the Jail bait which is Shugo Chara Eggs will have to win it they just have the Kawaii factor and i love DAWA she is shy and hawt.

Best New Soloist (debuted in 2008) - Mano Erina

I dont really like any of the new soloists songs but since it doesnt say you need to like the songs i will go with Mano for just how freaking hot she is and with a PB coming i see her only getting a bigger following

Best Established Group (did not debut in 2008) - Berryz Koubou-Desu

Well its berryz they are H!P best group currently in the biz and they have done some really good work in 2008. Their singles were top notch concerts/dvd's also top notch and the girls are looking good so berryz hands down

Best Established Soloist (did not debut in 2008) - Ayaya

I didnt see that much from Ayaya this year but with all the other soloists not doing much either, Aya won with her kichinto chicken song.

Best Photobook - Risa : Happy Girl

Well what can i say i have had a risa wallpaper on my desktop since release so this was pretty much a non contest sorry amimi another vote taken away for Airi :(

Hottest Idol of 2008 - Nocchi

Well this took a lot of contemplation i kinda wanted to go off the mark and say makochin because damn she has come back looking fine and also risa because who doesnt wub her to bits but in the end Chi has it all this year so my hats off to her. After all this i have gone back and thought of Nocchi and how much i love and forget about her so im giving u the flick chi sorry.

those were my Bests of 2008 now for my worst's which is gonna give me a lot of grief.

Worsts

Worst Group Single - Ongaku Gatas : Come Together

Well I love the combination of girls 4th gen mm mai-chan and best of all nocchi but still this single left no impact on me and i really couldnt be bothered giving a try i may have liked it more if i did though sorry girls.

Worst Soloist Single - Kasumi Koharu : Papancake

I may have said its an ok album but the single really doesnt do it for me so its down here not saying its bad just saying there was so many ood releases

Worst PV - Morning Musume : Resonant Blue

Its not that i dont like the release but i hate on the PV just because it didnt give everyone a fair chance. Was thinking about giving it to come together but i love the close up nocchi version mmmmm nocchi.

Worst Vocalist of 2008 - Nakajima Saki

Well she is C-ute and pretty to look at but Nakisaki sure doesnt have the nices voice still the more you hear her it kinda grows on your but i cant let it slide.

Least Attractive Girl of 2008 - nakazawa yuko

Well people are gonna hate me for saying it but Yuu-chan is up against so much stiff competition still doesnt mean i wouldnt hit that.

Well thats the end of my best of 2008

I will make sure to post in the near future about other H!P developments ive had over the last few busy weeks. Hope you had fun reading talk to you soon.

NEW Kamei Eri PB

Ok this post comes from inspiration from #wotachat we were looking at the front cover of the new Eri PB and we all were getting a bit hot and bothered by how good Kamei is looking. Then a few choice classy comments soon followed.....
<@wu_chu> I have a tent in my pants
<@wu_chu> or an erection, for sb's sake

<+XiTaU> picture reminds me of mikitty with more up front

Soon was followed by quite a bit of OMFG glad its not Koha doing that but it seems they had forgotten this show from Koha, which i would say is pretty hard to forget for it being not very Koharu style.


then a few more comments from the fairer sex about Eri <~pengie> I wanna see her on her hands and knees cleaning my kitchen floor with a toothbrush.

which i think we all found strangely arousing......

Soon after there was a bit more sensible comments until

<@wu_chu> ooh, she's just behind miya for me. I dont know, with chii it's admittedly a more sexual attraction, with miya it's romantic
<+XiTaU> wu chi is so innocent but all u can think about is giving her one?
<@wu_chu> XiTaU most certainly yes XD
<+XiTaU> i think thats how my mind works with most japanese girls so innocent bet she would go off in the sack

It very much makes my mind boggle are we really cut out to be Wota's would wotas say such vulgar things?

but from there you would expect the conversation to get less grotesque? well your wrong.

<@wu_chu> Yuko marry me!
<+XiTaU> yuko if you want some angry sex
<@wu_chu> miki for angry sex is my bag
<+XiTaU> oh yeah angry miki is the best kind of angry
Miki would come with whip ans chains
<@wu_chu> miki can happily kick my ass
<+XiTaU> she could do all kinds of nasty shit to me

that look in her eye tells me she is a naughty girl

and all along in the background we had various other conversations about how they arnt jail bait after turning 16 and how much more desirable they are before that....

well you see what a new PB can do to a mind of Wotas who are usually very civilized damn u kamei for getting older and more provocative you will make us Wotas lose out minds one of these days. Anyway i dont know anything more about the PB other then that one pic and if that anything to go by this is gonna be a great PB.

wonderfull hearts buri buri battle

Buri Buri 4 Life

Ok so i was thinking about the last wonderful hearts with the current members of H!P and how cool this kind of MC would be. Sayumi takes the stage microphone in hand shes all like "welcome to the first ever H!P buri buri battle, Ok so here are the contestants", Sayumi looks around and says "we dont need any as Sayumi wins anyway by default she is the cutest after all :)". Then Momo walks out like "choto matte ill put a $50 on me for the win" with confidence in hand, "as i can buri buri with the best of them". Sayumi comes back with some sort of witty retort like "Everyone knows sayu's the cutest". Then Airi walks out and is like "you girls are try hards i dont even have to try and i am too damn cute as is, imagine if i went all buri buri on your asses".

In the middle of the whole commotion the whole group of eggs walk out and say "look at us we are way cuter then you grandmas", but in unison the other three shout "eggs dont count they are cute by default" and agree on the first thing yet and send them all back stage. Then shit really hits the fan next when Ishikawa walks out and is all like "i am the queen of cute just because you girls are younger then me doesn't mean i still cant pummel you into the ground under my cuteness. I have more cuteness then a basket of puppies snuggling with a basket of infants in a field of roses so i wont lose you you inferior knockoff's".

Now soon to be leader of H!P gets up on stage Ai chan used to able to do cute... that was pretty much her thing she could do cute and sing which was somewhat rare them days. She starts on to the girls "enough of this its not time to do this settle it in your own time, anyway there is no use for this because everyone knows im the cutest dont you remember when i wore the cat outfit thats as cute as anything can ever come." The other girls pipe in "thats no buri buri you arnt buri buri get off the stage" in a defiant voice "you are still 100 years too early to challenge us."

Next is what we all have been waiting for Matsuura Aya she comes in with her duck face on looking as cute as she ever has. She pipes in "ask any Ayaya fan here or over the world they will tell you Ayaya is the cutest thats why they made me a solo artist, Tsunku said i was too cute to be a member of Momosu he said i'd take all the attention from the other girls." then she folds down her eyelid with her tongue out in probably the cutest display of defiance the world has ever seen.

Last but definitely not least Mikitty comes out and is all like "i could rip the head off a kitten and still be the cutest girl in the room. Haven't you girls ever seen me all buri buri before i have literally killed camera men doing it so its banned in 49 states of America so its Hawaii only nowadays. My cuteness is like Medusa on acid if you see it beware it will kill but unlike Medusa there is no coming back from this but at least they died for a reason any man should be lucky to lay eyes upon queen miki."

Then as a reference to Henkka's blog Yoko walks out and joins with Ishikawa, Fujimoto and with their powers combined they are the Killer Bitch Unit of H!P and run into the crowd weapons in hand and in a violent rampage send everyone to heaven before they are sent to hell. If i had anyway to die it would probably involve fujimoto and Rika but it may not involve a chainsaw but thems the breaks got 2 out of 3 parts of my wish come true then i would still have to die a happy man.

Well ill leave it at that i could seriously go on for hours about this but i don't have the time and im sure it would get a whole lot more boring for the reader :). Hope you enjoyed a part of my story i had fun writing it and hope there will be more randomness in my blog from now on while releases have died down again for this cycle.

Shugo Chara Egg かわいい'ness Does it for Me

The start is very pretty just like the girls

Well the new unit has just put out their first single Minna no Tamago and all i can say is wow i didn't expect too much from them but their cuteness + actually catchy fun song really did it for me and i can see some new stars climbing up the H!P ladder. It really shows you that H!P isnt stale yet even though they are kinda Mini Moni styles but we have had that style snatched away from us years ago and im glad these guys are bringing the catchy upbeat costumey H!P of old back which i loved.

I am sure girls what look like this will get me in trouble one day

Ok well lets start with the girls they are all very Kawaii but what else would i expect for a group of 13 year old girls come idols. I am sure that these Japanese companies try and make me commit some crimes with young girls, which could put me in jail for a long time and with this act it is no exception. Their knee high socks and short skirts are pretty much what every man looks or in a bit of lolicon and in this situation it works out so well also, Mix that with a bit of anime themed singing and dancing this should be an instant hit to all wota and loli kind.

Wow a flying egg and a rainbow.... HUH?

As for the style of the PV itself as with usual H!P fashion it is a 100% blue screen 1 set job with al the rest of it 3d animation and a cartoon clip thrown in here and there for good measure. I cant really complain about that style for a group like this because it is meant to all be fimed in the middle of a rainbow on a floting egg so its 3d animation or nothing in this premise i guess :). As i mentioned before the costumes are very intoxicating but also look top notch and the dance would be very catchy i am sure if i could dance or cared to try and dance.

Tsunku is a Genius i tells ya they dont come like this when i was 13 :(

Now onto the members individually Maeda Yuka is what i assume to be the leader of the group in the red with the heart shaped insignia, I will start here by saying my love for vertical pony tails knows no bounds and she has one of the best ones here that i have ever laid my eyes on which pretty much gave me instant favoritism for her. Her voice reminds me somewhat of a Mitsui Aika vibe and her face is pretty much as cute as key come.

Put your hands up for Detroit!

Next we have Fukuda Kanon in the green club outfit who everyone has been resembling to a Mini Moni era Aibon and i see some of that resemblance with a rounder face and cute styles. From most of what i have seen about posts about this PV see seems like she will become a fan favorite already winning over many peoples hearts. She got the green style maid outfit and i am just wondering if people just have a maid complex or if her looks and charm have taken the audience by storm.

Her smile could stop wars if not at least small tiffs

Also there is Saho Akari who is the blue spade who i would say has the most unusual look in the group but not in a bad way, it might just also be because she got the most unusual outfit to wear. I find her voice to be deaper and contrasts well with the other girls, Her uniform is more of the tom boys with the mainly covered hair and smaller no fluffy skirt. Over all she brings balance to the group and shows that they all really have their own unique style.

Oyshi Poseu

Last but not least we have Wada Ayaka the yellow diamond who every time i watch the PV grows on me more and more, expecially her voice which is why i think i am loving the PV as much as i am. She is put in the middle with Yuka and i have a feeling these 2 will be the main stars of the group, she like all the other girls is also very cute and this time they've given her Airi style pig tails they may not look as good on her as Airi, but Airi is unsurpassed in most things like that :). I think i will be keeping my eye on this girl as i am sure she has an addictable personality, I guess the eggs will probably have much more planned for us next year (fingers crossed).

They look like a great group of girls hope we see more of them

Well i guess the theme and dance are all originated from things which happen for the Anime which this is made for but as i havent seen that before it seems very much of the mahou shoujo genre if i am not mistaken and was never really my bag. Seeing as some of the best H!P music nowadays is being made for this show i might have to give it a watch and see if it is worthy of the quality Buono and now the eggs are giving it. One thing which thoroughly surprised me about this group is that all the girls seems to be able to sing unlike so many other H!P attempts, where some of the girls are just pretty and comical and stand at the back of the PV but with 4 members they cant really afford that.

Cushions must buy Cushions

Well with every season of Shugo Chara i guess we can be expecting a new single and PV and now i am looking forward to hearing and expecially seeing more of the girls in the not too distant future. Also hopefully they get to perform with say Buono! on their concert tour for a Shugo Chara concert and hopefully fingers crossed i wil get tickets to see them next year. If all my dreams align i will be a happy man but i guess only time will tell. I think thats about as in depth a review i can do without knowing a little bit more from the girls, I am awaiting maybe a making of or some sort of live event or TV event i can see the girls while not in charactor. Well for another post this is good bye and god speed.

H!P Retro Corner 1

H!P retro corner here i am gonna talk about my favorite H!P moments most of them will probably be Utaban / Morning Musume combinations but still who can pass up a bit of Taka and Nakai they are gods among comedy. My first thinking's on this subject leads me to Happy7 shuffle group and the awesomeness that they were, so the first scene will be how their Maji de Dejima which rocked my world and hopefully yours too. When i first saw this clip for the next few days i would just walk around doing the hand movements with a huge smile on my dial :), im sure many people didn't get what i was doing but i sure had fun doing it anyway.

Kago and Tsuji Doing Their Do

Kago really gets into it and i have a feeling she and Tsuji made it up as there is other clips of them to doing it, which is also good but Happy7's is best when they did it on the shuffle special. Ok set your mind back 6 years when H!P was still very Morning Musume or nothing and fabulous shuffle groups happened every year the happiness groups of 2002 were apon us and we got the group of the up and comers. It contained soon to be 3/4 of Mini Moni so you can tell thats a great start and also Leader and subleader of now Morning Musume so, it was really an all star group and one which will go down in the ages with me as some of the funnest H!P moments ever. Ok now after all that said watch the video and if you don't hurt yourself laughing or at least imitating you have no soul :). Hope you enjoyed the first retro corner and hopefully i get round to making quite a few more to spread the H!P love around to all that haven't seen it. Also thanks for all the people who subbed Utaban over the years, they have made my life so much more enjoyable also thanks to nakai and taka for all the laughs they have given me, for now cya later and enjoy.

You will need to skip to about 6:20 to see what im talking about but the rest is really good so i'd recommend staying the whole 10 mins.

Suzuki Airi Yorosen

Airi Pimping the Pink

Where to start it is my favorite c-ute star and she really lives up to this in her series of yorosen episodes as teacher. The first thing i noticed wasn't Airi though on this occasion it was Chisa thought looking delightfully delicious this week, first she starts in chisa fashion fooling around with a huge smile on. The thing is now when shes doing it shes looking very cute and adorable rather then her tomboy look and she brings an instant smile to my face. Even a few weeks ago i would have said Chisato is my least favorite c-ute member but i think with her new look change my ideas about her are changing and i can see her moving swiftly up the ranks.

Chisa is looking so happy at herself later we find out how modest she really is

Well i should start here with episode 1 when we find out airi is doing her lessons as the PE teacher and she walks out looking as cute and irresistible as ever. Today Chisato does the daily duties and seems to have a ball doing it, We should know if its PE and Airi its gonna be about golf and tada it is. She teaches the Girls all about the layout of a golf course and once again for this episode Chisa takes a lot of the spotlight with her knowledge of golf. The standout was the Iyaa Bunker when airi tells then thats what golf players say when they hit the ball into a bunker.

Obligatory Maimi pic just because i can and because she looks so good

Well the thought doing talking about more then one yorosen episode this week makes me feel like i will repeat over the same thing many times as with most yorosen, not much really happens and 4mins really is not a good length for a show. They should just combine all the H!P groups and made a non boring version of haromoni as the system worked so well for so many years before they tried to butcher it. Maybe keep kamei and Risas moutube segment but the rest could be trash worthy and im sure berryz and c-ute would have spiced it back up, the news segments and theater have always been the fan favs so why did they kill them off :(. Anyway enough with today's rant at the end of what was meant to be a nice yorosen talk about Airi which got skewed off into the wrong directions but anyway im glad i got this off my chest and next post i shall do some ranting on a yet undetermined subject of my choosing. Enjoy yourselves and Cya again.
