And they were on (prime) TV several times a week while we nowadays see them on non-regional channels every few months. 

 

It's very likely that either Mizuki or Ikuta - or both - will pass Eri at one point. And that's what throws me off. Having your tenure compared to Goto Maki's while people still insist that she left the group too early is nothing to being compared to those people a lot of people would've given the boot several years earlier. Wasn't that Platinum Era's problem? Clinging to some members for too long and not passing the torch to the next generation?*

 

*I mean, see, I don't think any member of 8th gen would've made for a good face or anything. But if Ai/Reina/Gaki/Eri/Sayumi left earlier a new generation would've been added sooner as well. At least now we won't have this horrible break like "yeah I'm outta here have fun dealing with these 8 new members you don't even know yet".

[Anderei]

I don't think anyone should be an idol for 10 years.

[iDOL1641]

I wonder if anyone in the current lineup is gonna pass Ai, Risa, or Reina's tenure

[Al Kusanagi]

Can I just say I love how even fewer fucks Rinapuu has been giving of late?

[DonJuan]

I don't even understand why anyone would want to be an idol for 10 years. Somewhat idol-ish artist, like Reina, Sayumi or probably Airi soon? Okay. Or whatever Maimi and Maasa are doing? Okay. An idol that is not allowed to date and has to be held up to ridiculous standards? No way in hell. I mean four of them (members of MM) are adults by Japanese law. Then again since none of them went to university it's unlikely that they'll get a great job, huh. Time to look for a hubby!

I still don't like her on stage but her not giving a fuck in terms of fashion is pretty cool.

[Anderei]

If all you wanted to was be an idol and then call it quits like Momoko did or are doing it while you get a degree I get it. But I will never understand why anyone who has future aspirations in entertainment would be an idol for so long, I'd argue it's not even a good stepping stone anymore.

I think Kudo wants to have a word with you.

 

[Anderei]

Everyone in that cast are unknowns, and it seems like it's kind of considered a childish show, so I'd argue that being an idol did not get her the role. It's also her very first role, so there's no telling where her career will go from it.

[Al Kusanagi]

Do not knock starting off on a sentai show. Some of Japan's biggest actresses have roots in them.

And that's fine. But I don't think Haruka getting a single role in one negates my point. She could be a nobody in five years.

[aine]

Morning Musume performing at the AKB48 Kouhaku. Very interesting to watch because they use a live band.

Live band makes everything so much better, holy shit.

Not in the hearts of her eternal fans.

 

Seriously, though, I can't imagine Kudo ever being a "nobody." If I was a casting agent in Japan, I'd be champing at the bit to sign her up for her first post-Lupin role.

[Zoe]

Ho-lee shit, the fall tour BD and DVD are super expensive. They basically have three days' worth of songs though.

[Meikochi]

More than 8,000¥ for the DVD is really expensive but it sounds worth : both Budoukan lives + the other songs that got performed during the tour but not on at Budoukan. I'm glad they recorded and put them on the DVD.
Blu-Ray will cost more than 12k and will include the same dates and songs + making-of footage and a visual book.

On another topic, MM next release will be out in less than 3 weeks and will still have nothing but the title. What are you doing UF ?

She'll still probably be a higher caliber of nobody than 99% of H!P alumnae tho'!  I've never been a fan of Sentai shows but they really do have a dedicated fanbase - she can very easily spin this off into a decent acting career even if she stays C-list.  That's a bigger opportunity than pretty much any ex-H!P girl has been afforded, other than Gocchin with Avex (who is currently doing VERY well shilling shit on Instagram - even as a has been, she got a deal with SK-II and those are very hard to get.)

[Shoujo Q]

I just became aware of this, so I had to find it.

Seiko Oomori covered Mugen Climax Kamome Kyoushitsu-hen on her kitixxxgaia album. 

 

It's nice to hear it with just the piano. 

 

I've decided Oomori sounds like an unhinged version of Ringo Shiina.

Here it is.

 

It's pretty cool, obviously more understated as a solo piece, but it's such a great song that it works well in multiple settings.

Those fucking jazz chords in the bridge... So good. Wish she would have sung longer and given me more chords... Piano is my favorite instrument (Breath of the Wild OST was aural pR0n)

But she definitely sounds like an unhinged Shiina Ringo (who is already unhinged, lol).

I am such a big fan of Mugen Climax, so glad I got to hear another version.

Ronan is up for the Best Actress Oscar for a film called LADY BIRD.

All of them are available one place or another now. I really like th idea behind it.

[DonJuan]

Me too. Someone mentioned that current H!P is really good looking and I think it shows in these pictures.

[Mugi]

Miki totally should have been Mika in the minimoni one though.

[Shoujo Q]

I spent way too much time doing this, just to find out that Oda Sakura still hasn't gotten a shot in HinaFest.

These are the HinaFest Stats for Solo/Shuffle Corners since 2013. I only did a few stats of note. I hopefully didn't miss anyone. I started rushing at the end.

*Notes*
*I counted in C-ute for the 2017 HinaFest since they were part of the special corner.
*Funaki/Morito count towards their 2 groups (2018).
*Juice=Juice was in the 2013 HinaFest but only still as a Kenshuusei group and didn't participate in the lottery.
*Kobushi Factory weren't in the HinaFest for 2015 because of their musical.

Groups with most members performing.
Berryz = 3
C-ute = 11*
Morning Musume = 22/23*
S/mileage + Angerme = 24/25*
Juice=Juice = 11*
