I buy from CDJapan using EMS all the time and have never had issues. I just have packages sent to work instead of home so that there's guaranteed to be someone available to sign for it. I do think sometimes their boxes can be a bit oversized, but that's certainly not unique to them - I've had that i...

^ Only do that if there's nothing similar to it on the emoji list. If it's just a different heart or sparkle or smile that we don't have, but there's something similar, substitute something similar.

She's definitely lost some weight, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's an eating disorder. I wouldn't even say she lost as much weight as Yossi did. I think it's just the angle of that picture, because she doesn't look unhealthily thin in other recent photos.

[quote name='Tundra Wind' timestamp='1367249618' post='150392'] @TnB Oh good, I can skip those <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':tongue:' /> That would help but I think I should be able to figure out which ones to skip for the most ...

[quote name='Tundra Wind' timestamp='1367172950' post='150344'] I think I'm going to give up on prepping Sayumi's blogs sooner or later. I'm horrible at keeping up with her daily so I end up with a pile of posts quite a bit. I'll keep prepping until there's somebody that wants to prep her blogs thou...

I don't mind at all that they're trying new things, I encourage it too. I actually really liked the b-side to Tabidachi, that was a great sound for them. I like Suki yo, Samui ne, and Tabidachi - the problem for me is more that they're just okay songs, not amazing songs or super catchy songs. I keep...

I like the current S/mileage a lot better. Pretty much just like PQ, I liked the old songs but the only member I cared about was Kanon. And then the songs faded off really quickly for me so I was really losing interest until the new girls came along and made the group dynamic much more interesting. ...

Wb Aeug!



Dream Wave hasn't been released before. :D

[quote name='strawberryjam' timestamp='1366924328' post='150171'] OK Juicy's categories are ready. And I updated the workflow spreadsheet the best I could! I'll write a call for volunteers post tomorrow. And on Saturday, I'll try to fix the pictures on the front page. A plugin was used to enable the...

[quote name='thaipokecard' timestamp='1366702266' post='150010'] Sorry. I was sick and couldn't get prepping done today. I will catch up tomorrow. Edit: I just noticed that there are 73 Iikubo's drafts and 40 Nakanishi Kana's drafts. Should I continue prepping them or wait until the translator catch...

LAME. I really liked the first song and was looking forward to the second. Although it is really soon, so maybe they figured the group needed more time to become known. Still, I don't really understand the advance and retreat strategy.

I'm still trying to process how I feel about the album. Neo Stargate is by far my favorite song but for the rest I'm still ... hmmmm. But covers are out for Iriguchi no Nai Deguchi: Limited A: http://24.media.tumblr.com/335f281e29c4c604ab4612ed124f8a82/tumblr_mlhkszwSA91qeh2m0o1_500.jpg Limited B: h...

[quote name='yuzuriha' timestamp='1366295650' post='149771'] OK I finished translating one more of Sakura's entries last night but our wireless decided to go LOCAL ONLY so I finished it up at work because I am badass like that. Hopefully I'll at least get the other one I haven't translated yet trans...

I've seen a lot of Japanese girls do the tongue thing in pictures, and most of the time I'm fairly certain it's just an attempt to look cool or badass. If it had the same meaning in Japan their managers wouldn't let them post pictures like that.

You're totally right Anderei. I don't mind that it's short, it can be cute when they style it nicely but most of the time it looks totally flat and uneven and kind of looks like she let Masaki trim it. Also it just screams the worst of 1980s idol hair which made everyone look 10 years older than the...

More of a Japanese question than an MM question, but... How are each of the generation names read? All the varying ways to read numbers and whether or not the "generation" kanji stays "ki" or becomes "kki" always get me =/ 1st gen = 1期 = いっき/ikki？ 2nd gen = 2期 = にき/niki...

If you have time, yes please!

So much better! I wish she'd get that hair for real. And by "for real" I just mean long term, I don't care if it's a weave.

I'm trying to work on translations now, but the site (both the bbs and b!p) is running abysmally slow for me. I think it's a combination of the general site lag and my work internet being terrible. Rob, you can help with any of mine. Just let me know who you're working on and at what time so I don't...

[quote name='JPope' timestamp='1366128192' post='149612'] I really like the album, but their lack of singing talent is becoming really frustrating for me. It wasn't as big of a deal when they were just doing over-the-top ridiculousness, but their crappy voices just kill the more serious/epic stuff. ...

^ Seriously. I can't get over how awesome they were.

Momoiro Clover is releasing their first album on 6/5: Iriguchi no nai Deguchi (Warning: Beware of seizure) Yup, "Momoiro Clover" not "Momoiro Clover Z." It's a collection of their indies songs in celebration of their 5th anniversary. The title means "An exit without an entra...

That's terrible. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ryalot.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cryalot:' /> I hope everything turns out okay for her.

Stuff happens, no worries. In the meantime, can we update the translator/prepper spreadsheet? Or at least talk about it in the thread. I think a couple of requests for preppers have been lost in the thread. Maybe we can make another "hey we need preppers!" post specifically saying who we n...

Yeah, it was completely down earlier, now it seems a bit slow.



P.S. rokun, you forgot to change the prepper name to your name on Momoko and Miyabi's recent entries.

Rokun - read up a bit, yuzu volunteered to translate Sakura.

I'm happy about all of those things, but I'm sad that we're missing out on Rika/Sayu/Risako Biyuuden, Berryz Shabondama, Kei/Kaori/MM Daite, and the Momo/Maasa/Mano/Zukki/Kana shuffles. I think we got the Miki solo by fluke because they were trying to include a day with all the missing people back i...

Kanon wrote on her blog that she and Sakura are going to start having voice training lessons together. I'm going to imagine that means great things like them singing a bunch together in the future. Let me dream. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/noway.gif' class='bbc_emo...
