[TnB]

Hello! Project's (or Hell!Project as their typo says ) summer concert will be broken in to two types again, "Nippon no Mirai wa Wow Wow Live" and "Nippon no Mirai wa Yeah Yeah Live." They're taking requests for songs again.
To vote, go here. This time you'll be choosing songs based on themes, and also choosing things you want the members to do, I'm guessing during the MC's.

Click on the pink banner on the left to vote for songs. Each box gives you a keyword and asks you to choose two songs that you associate with that word. They of course have to be H!P songs. Song requests are due by May 27th.

1. Smile
2. LOVE (written in English)
3. Energetic/happy (genki)
4. Love (written Renai in Japanese)
5. Courage
6. Sexy
7. Party
8. Cute


Click on the green banner on the right to vote for current H!P members. Each box gives you a questions and asks you to name a member and a reason. You can name up to two people per question. I'm thinking they'll likely ignore your answer if you write in anything but Japanese, but you can try! Members here might be willing to translate your answers for you. Requests about members are due June 6th.

(Translations go from the top left box -> top right box -> second left box -> second right box, etc.)

1. Who seems like they'd be a scary mom?
2. Who seems like they'd be the owner's wife at a small restaurant?
3. Who would be best suited to lines like "Welcome, master"? (Irasshaimase goshujinsama, the phrase the girls at maid cafes say to welcome customers)
4. Who seems like they feel in their heart "I'm cuter than Michishige-san!"?
5. Who do you want to be your lover?
6. Who seems like they'd be good at pretending to eat hot oden? (This is something Japanese comedians do a lot - they have someone feed them super hot oden soup and they over-react about how hot it is. See here @ 12:15-ish)
7. Who seems like they treasure their family?
8. Who do you want to say "I'll give you a spanking!" ?
9. Who do you want to say "You're an idiot, big brother!"
10. Who do you want to say "I've liked you ever since the entrance ceremony!"
11. Who do you think would be good at saying "I'm sorry." while looking furious?

The member part seems kind of stupid, I wish it had been more about chosing members to go with the songs.

[freezingkiss]

Voted. LOL when you click on the pink banner, it takes you to a page which the browser reads as 'Hell!Project' Ahaha! Thanks for this TnB!

[TnB]

^It's on all the pages.

List what songs you vote for! It's more interesting that way :D Or how you voted for the members, if anyone ventures that way.

[freezingkiss]

I tried to mix it up a little bit!

Songs I voted for were:

1. Egao - Egao YES nude and Lalala Shiawase no Uta
2. LOVE - Sayonara no Love Song and REAL LOVE
3. Genki - Genki+ and Piriri to Yukou!
4. Renai - Kowarenai Ai ga Hoshii no and Koi no Jubaku
5. Courage - Honto no Jibun and Tsuyoki de Yukouze!
6. Sexy - Irropoi Onna ~ Sexy Baby and Tokyo Bijin
7. Party - Sekai wa Summer Party and Shiawase Beam! SukiSuki Beam.
8. Kawaii - Happy! (Koharu's, it'd be nice to hear someone else sing that) and Gag 100kaibun Aishite Kudasai.

I wanted to try and use as many different artists as possible. I want the most shuffled concert that ever exsisted for the next one.

The Member one I only had two votes: Who would make a scary mum I voted Aika and Reina, because they scary!, and who would I like as my lover..was difficult because I like mainly graduated members but I put Risa (because she needs some lovin) and Maasa.

[TnB]

I tried to avoid anything too recent or that we've seen preformed 100x. I feel like they set up some of these categories to get people to knee-jerk choose set songs - "LOVE Machine", "Renai Revolution 21" and "Chu Summer Party" come to mind. Of course, one of the songs I chose for Sexy is probably exactly what they were going for.

1. Smile - Happy Night, BE HAPPY Koi no Yajirobee
2. LOVE - Dokki Doki Love Mail, Sotto Kuchizukete Gyutto Dakishimete
3. Genki - BE ALL RIGHT!, Genki Jirushi no Oomori Song
4. Renai - Ai no Chikara, Akai Nikkichou
5. Courage - Say Yeah! -Motto Miracle Night-, HEY! Mirai
6. Sexy - SEXY NIGHT ~Wasurerarenai Kare~ (for lulz), Iroppoi Onna ~Sexy Baby~
7. Party - Saa, Sassoku Moriagete Ikou ka~!!, Sekai wa Summer Party
8. Cute - Robokiss, Anataboshi

For the member questionaire, I put in my best effort because I'm bored at work. xD
Scary mom - Reina (because she'd get mad easily) and Aika (because I think she'll turn into a typical Osaka old lady with the flashy clothes, pancake makeup, and noisy yelling xD)
Wife of a small restaurant owner - Aika, because Sayu wrote a blog saying she should have a restaurant, and Fuku-chan because she seems like the housewife type.
Irasshaimase, Goshujinsama! - Sayu - this question is basically written for her. Yuuka, she has that innocent-cute thing going on.
I'm cuter than Sayu - Reina because she seems conceited, and Kanon because she thinks she's the reincarnation of Cinderella
Lover - Eh. I just put Risa because she's underappreciated and Maimi because she's hot.
Oden - Risa, she's the reaction queen of MM, and Momoko, she seems like she can be silly.
Treasures family - Shimizu Saki because of that blog entry she wrote on mothers day, and Sayu because she mentions her mom a lot in her blog.

I skipped the rest because they were just too weird.

[Anderei]

5. Who do you want to be your lover?



Oh god.

[Madara]

Nice song choices, Freezingkiss and TnB. I am definitely eager to hear "Egao Yes Nude" performed in concert again. There are other songs from the repertoire that are underused. "Say Yeah Motto Miracle Night," for one, should have been performed more before Aibon and Nono graduated, but I think I only have two concerts where it's performed, one from 2001 on VHS! So yeah, ditto on that one, too.

[Haru]

I think they corrected it. No typos on my end now.
Gotta redo it though because I closed my window out. Huff.

Egao: Egao YES Nude, Koi no Dance Site
Love: Sayonara "Tomodachi ni wa Naritakunai no," Tsukiatteru no ni Kataomoi (I really like when it's done live.)
Genki: Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance, Crazy Happy
Renai: AS FOR ONE DAY, Himitsu no U.ta.hi.me
Courage: Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!, Aisha Loan de. (This is Unmei could've fit very well, but I will stay by Al and not request it until Melon Kinenbi ~MELON'S NOT DEAD. NO. REALLY. THEY'RE BACK~ Reunion.)
Sexy: Natsu, SEXY BOY ~Soyokaze ni Yorisotte~
Party: Moonlight night ~Tsukiyo no Ban da yo~, Dakishimete Dakishimete
Kawaii: Getsuei no Napoli (TINTARELLA DI LUNA), Minimoni. Kazoe Uta ~Date Version~

I'll vote on the member questionaire in a bit. I think I already have my answeres planned. Vote Maasa and Miya for everything.

Mah dick!!!!

[Shoujo Q]

Now, which song would Why fall under so I can request it?

[Al Kusanagi]

I'll admit I just stuck a few songs I like under random spots like "Party." I mean, really, other than something like Chu- Natsu Party, what else are we gonna get?

Part two takes far too much effort. I don't feel like typing out why I picked each one in Japanese. This ain't school!

[TnB]

LOVE or Renai? But you know what would happen if they picked it. It would just be a Takahashi solo.

[iDOL1641]

I voted for:

1. Te wo Nigitte Arukitai, Watashi mo "I LOVE YOU"
2. Darling I Love You, Jun Lover
3. Yaruki, It’s Easy!, Shiawase Beam! Suki Suki Beam!
4. I & YOU & I & YOU & I, Thanks!
5. Chokkan 2 ~Nogashita Sakana wa Ookiizo!~, Aoi Sports Car no Otoko
6. Do It! Now, Iroppoi Jirettai
7. Dancing! Natsu Matsuri, Hajimete no Happy Birthday!
8. Baisekou Daiseikou!, Haru Natsu Aki Fuyu Daisukki

I tried to find as many group songs as possible because I want as much shuffling as possible.

[Saya]

1. Smile, Ai no Imi wo Oshiete! & Thank you! Creme Brulee no Yuujou
2. LOVE Umbrella & Koi Suru Angel Heart
3. Genki Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari & Genkimono de Ikou!
4. Renai Itoshiku Kurushii Kono Yoru (no Kame though T_T) & Ah Merry-go-round
5. Courage Shugo Shugo! & Go Girl ~Koi no Victory~ (I really want to see Shugo Shugo! performed by Yuukarin, Aya, Kanyon, and Mizu! (Since Akari isn't in H!P anymore...Mizupon can take her place)
6. Sexy Shabondama & Shiawase desu ka?
7. Party Odorou yo & Sekai wa Summer Party
8. Cute Tan Tan Taan! & Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

[Shoujo Q]

Song choice was harder then I thought.

1. Seishun Jidai 1.2.3!, Smile Bijin
2. Zukyun LOVE, Natsu LOVE Romance
3. Kiseki no Kaori Dance., BE ALL RIGHT!
4. Natsu DOKI Lipstick, Koi yo! Utsukushiku
5. Koko ni Iruzee! , Yeah! Meccha Holiday
6. SEXY NIGHT ~Wasurerarenai Kare~, Iroppoi Onna ~SEXY BABY~
7. The Party!, Dancing! Natsu Matsuri
8. Bon kyu! Bon kyu! Bomb Girl, Gag 100kaibun Aishite Kudasai



I REALLY want them to perform Zukyun LOVE but that's about as obscure as me picking Seishun Jidai 1.2.3! So chances are I wont. BUT if I do, I'll be so happy!

[aisasami]

1. Smile: Happy Night and Egao YES Nude
2. LOVE: Ai no Chikara and Ajisai Ai Ai Monogatari
3. Genki: Yaruki! IT'S EASY and Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance
4. Renai: BABY! Koi ni KNOCK OUT! and Koi wa Rock n' Roll (This is an awesome b-side and LOOOVE to see this live. Plus, older b-sides need love too)
5. Courage: Yattarouze! and I WISH
6. Sexy: Versus (They did Gatamekira at the winter concert and I thought this was "sexy & cool" enough) and Motto
7. Party: Summer Reggae! Rainbow (for the lulz) and DANCE Suru no da!
8. Cute: Okashi Tsukutte Okkasui~! and Ne~e?

[Pucchi mo]

These always end up being the most typical setlists.

The Bikkuri setlist idea was actually interesting, they should just leave fans out of song selection. The majority of the fans will offset whatever cool ideas any of you have with the songs that have been performed a billion times. As always.

The concerts are appropriately titled, referencing the pinnacle of overdone concert songs.

You still owe me a Mano Erina SOME BOYS! TOUCH.

Zoku Viyuden doing Aisu Cream almost made up for it, but you had to MIKA TODD the hell out of JunJun and put her in red overalls. :double dammit:

Anyway...
1. Smile: Futari no Hokkaidou/HEY! Mirai
2. LOVE: DO YOU LOVE ME?/Namida no Wake<-MM needs to sing this!
3. Genki: Suhada Pichipichi/Rairai! Shinfu <-too bad JunJun&LinLin are gone.
4. Renai: Ai tte Donna XXX?/Enkyori no Renai<-has Aya even done this live?
5. Courage: Cake Yamemashita/WASSUP? Enryo ga Theme
6. Sexy: Ekizo na DISCO/SOME BOYS! TOUCH
7. Party: Moriagaru Shika Nai desho!/Disco Queen
8. Cute: Juushichi no Natsu/Okashi Tsukutte Okkasui~!

[Miss Moonlight]

Smile: BE ALL RIGHT, Hey! Mirai
LOVE: Saa! Koibito ni Narou, Shining Itoshiki Anata
Genki: Honki de Atsui Theme Song, Genshoku GAL hade ni yukube
Renai: Zutto Suki de Ii Desu Ka, Ai no Sono ~Touch My Heart~
Courage: Suggoi Nakama, I WISH
Sexy: Ekizona Disco, Hey! Mahiru no Shinkirou
Party: Aoi Sports Car no Otoko, Dancing Natsu Matsuri
Cute, Piriri to yukou, Ai ~Suite Room~

[TnB]

They're doing a second round of questions about the members here. You can answer up to 2 members per question again and the deadline is 6/22.

Translations going left to right, top to bottom.
1. Who seems like they'd be in a super bad mood just after waking up?
2. Who seems like they would kindly give directions to someone who was lost?
3. Who seems like they'd be really good at pretending to eat sour umeboshi [pickled plums]?
4. Who seems like they'd be good at comforting a baby?
5. Who seems like they'd have a messy room?
6. Who seems like they wear sexy pajamas?
7. Who seems like they'd wear frilly cute pajamas?
8. Who seems like they could kill a cockroach in one strike?
9. Who seems like they'd have the funniest pitching form in baseball?
10. When running late, who seems like they'd be the best at saying "Soo~rry, are you mad?"

Some of these are pretty wtf/who cares. I'm wondering what they plan to do with all this info - between the two questionaires, it seems like a lot of time is going to be wasted on all this talking.

I'm guessing this somehow ties in to the "shadow announcers" they chose. They did a drawing on Ustreamusume and worked out which set list is on which day and which girls are doing the announcing. Sayunii has a chart of the results. There's a lot of repeats of the same people, and then some who didn't get picked at all (Sayu was devastated, lol).

Most of these stupid questions are wota oriented -who is the motherly one, who is the good girl, who is the bitch, who is blah blah. I'll bet a liver its so the chosen girl can bashfully act out these stupid things on stage and get the wota in a frenzy.

[TnB]

^ My thoughts exactly. But if they act out all of these + the first set, that's a loooot of wasted time. This is Fankora Part 2! I want as many of our song choices as humanly possible!

[Haru]

Quote

Who seems like they wear sexy pajamas?

Really?
Really?

I want to see the answer to this one.

[Saya]

I don't even want to answer these.

[TnB]

Round 3 of member-related voting is up. I'm not even going to bother with translating the questions this time, it's more lame wota-fodder. If you're interested, translations were post at Sayunii.

I wish they'd put as much effort into the voting for actual SONGS as they did this crap.

Jesus Christ, those nights are going to be painful. I can see Momoko pulling off a sexy performance but not the other two. Manoeri has the sexy look down, but not the voice. Racist-chan has neither.

[rob]

P.S. Saying she doesn't like foreigners isn't racist, chances are all she sees are the loud obnoxious idiots that come to work here because they can't be arsed to get a job yet in their own countries.

Hell I'll admit I hate those foreigners too, however... I'm not racist ;)

But omg another Miya solo <3

But Racist-chan is easier to say then HatesForeigners-chan.
