Yeah honestly. Mizuki will do her stuff better with more fans.

Glad to see Rottara Rottara pulling through. It was definitely one of my faves back then.

Thanks. Super Duper Sugar Power sounds somewhat weird, unfamiliar, but also kind of familiar? lol. The chorus goes hard idol route again, could have seen Country Girls doing that. Not bad in general. Uttoushi sounds powerful. I feel like this could have been a Biyo song before they changed direction...

Oh come on, guys lol

Adjustment disorder was what they diagnosed Kishimon with, and she got better towards the end, so I hope the best for Sumire. I do think it's a mix of Up Front being rather open about what's happening and a current shift in Japan's view on mental health. I wouldn't be surprised if the members 10 or ...

Oh, I missed that one. Man, I hope she can pull through...

Ngl, I wonder what she's planning. She didn't seem like she was very proactive and she wasn't incredibly popular either.

Ogata Risa leaves J.P. Room.

We're probably missing a bunch but I just remembered this thread after reading that Karin got surgery for her polyps now.

I've heard they're part of the Tokyo Girls Collection thing. The one Airi modeled for a few times. Well, anyway... sus! I guess being leader of an H!P group which does so many concerts, Youtube activities and stage plays was really too much for her and this might be something more easygoing. But it ...

So b-sides are back, huh. Though I expect that one to be Kawamuu's solo.

I watched the Vega show today, and it was pretty damn good. Made me realize how much I've missed in H!P, there were several faces during the shuffles that I couldn't name - despite doing a visual guide for them before lol! But I have to say, might be a weird thing coming from an H!P fan - the costum...

That's seriously pretty cool!

well mannered and girls from good backgrounds. Nono and Aibon, but also probably Maki wouldn't have made it. Which is kind of a shame, but also fits that Tsunku lost more and more power over the audition winners.

https://twitter.com/InfoMusume/status/1825520807633633479 Interesting interview with Sakura and Rairi (mostly Sakura tho). I think I do get where Sakura is coming from, but I hope she never becomes leader. She's way too stiff imo. tldr; she values old manners, but sees that they're outdated now, an...

Hm, I don't see this at all. But then again Biyo is already quite un-H!P.

Really good. Nice concept, cute girls, well danced.

But so far gone from the H!P that I grew to love haha. This could be a random idol group to me.

The fall tour will be called "We can dance" so I guess the album will be in that vibe.

I don't know if we've talked about it, but Murota Mizuki is back, and she will release new music in October!

It's a bit weird, most of the songs sound like some overprocessed vocals over midi instrumentals lol. But I do like that there's so much love for H!P to re-interpret several songs, and even some newer ones and outside of Golden Era.

Speak of the devil. Dawa is leaving YUM/UF and goes independent.

Damn, I dig it. Honestly, H!P/UF OG are doing really well lately.

Man. Would have loved an Ai-Kishimon duet of this.

Oh, that's pretty good.

DIdn't Maeda Yuuka work as a travel guide?

This is a really good song that I absolutely do not care for.
It's too experimental, especially for an A-side.

So I've seen a lot of complaints about Baby Spider but while it doesn't do anything for me, it's not bad at all. It's pretty western/Kpop and obviously missing some charme, but I can see why a lot of people *would* like it bc of that lol.

Tanaka Reina is pregnant and about to get married!

Ah, thanks.

I decided to make a visual guide for the shuffles of Vega bc it's a lazy Sunday, lol. Not sure if I'll do it for Altair too, though. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1029492642632962093/1262074668337074278/image.png?ex=66954621&is=6693f4a1&hm=4350c45a0d099cc985ac266702af2750c38832a24e9...
