So this is rather an interesting one, but does anyone have info on the H!P egg single, "Sora ga Aru"? I mean I know it's a Nissin tie-in and Kanon, Mirei, Sayaka, and Robin are involved but is there other information (like the coupling since it sounds like it's just an acoustic version bu...

I can't tell who narrates it. There's a shot of them rehearsing outdoors in a rainstorm in Hokkaido. If my memory serves me right, Nakazawa Yuko and Michiyo Heike hosted the show, followed by Kaori Iida and Rinne Toda. Rinne was in Country Musume, and was working at a farm in Hokkaido while being i...

I asked a Japanese friend of mine if they said anything about the disbanding at the coming soon talk+performance. She said that Nakazawa, as well as the rest of the members, denied that they were going to be disbanded: She mentioned the concert on March 10th, and hopefully to come back to the show a...

Don't forgot Miuna (who didn't make the sixth generation auditions but joined Country) That's true! I read at the Japanese wikipedia that she entered the 6th Country Musume audition in January, 2003. She was also voted and selected as the 3rd favorite in the nation for the 6th generation of Morning...

^oh god no. cooking! I meant COOKING!

you leave one vowel out you put an extra letter in the word and boom, a totally different meaning <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />

They can leave Ai out. I've had enough of her to last me a lifetime.

Me too, I can't explain why but I've been annoyed by her ever since she joined 10 years ago.

2) What H!P performers went on to careers outside of H!P? Maki Goto, Ai Kago. Any others? 3) Who auditioned for MM, didn’t get in, but was chosen to join H!P in some other capacity? I.e., became Eggs or something. Didn't Yuu Kikkawa initially audition for MM? 2) These girls went on to a music caree...

T hey already said Shining Butterfly would be their first and last single. I think they also said when the group was formed that it was only intended to last about a year or so. I am still hoping this is just a gimmick ( "DMM are gonna break up soon, buy all the singles you can!") to sell ...

Off topic:

Rinne (from Country Musume) had been my favorite Hellopro member since either 1999 or 2000.

I seldom see fans nowadays who like h!p that old school!Thought I was the only one :D

I am not too fond of the song (yet) either. I'll make up my mind if they release a better quality one. What is interesting is that something is FINALLY happening in H!P again. Almost no markant changes the last years, and now we get two eggs finishing training and four new MM members. I am excited <...

I think he'll choose three and add one or two eggs.

It's gonna be exciting seeing how it goes. I guess we'll know at the end of the year"

Yeah, bot covers are great!

Wondering what the third one will look like?



Maybe she'll release a mini album or something after all these single releases?

Surprised to see Koharu in there, but what a great line up <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />

Looks like on the same day as the release of her second single she is releasing her third one:

http://www.hmv.co.jp/en/product/detail/3956985



It's called "Owakare Kai".



She is releasing singles at high speed. Might there be a mini-album shortly after this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gOCz8xe9PU I love this. Does anyone know about this band? I found some info about them at wikipedia. They seem to have been active since 2001, but haven't been signed until last year: Ogre You Asshole is a Japanese rock band formed in Nagano, Japan taking influences ...

Yeah, I've heard several people say this.

Someone also finds it kinda creepy.

A second single from Masae Ohtani (now going by the name Ohtani Masae aka Himawari) has been listed at amazon.co.jp.



It is called ENDLESS LOVE.

Ayumi Shibata will be releasing a photo book:

Not a blog, but a twitter account:

Miyoshi Chinatsu's (who?) that is!

^I didn't know this. Thanks for the info! I saw pictures of Ayumi Shibata holding the cd, but thought it was for promotion. Masae Ohtnai, or Himawari if you will, has released another digital single called "ENDLESS LOVE". Maybe this one is getting a physical release too? It is nice to see ...

The album is already available on itunes!



The re-make of her old songs are jazzier, but imo a bit more boring.



Fun cd cover though <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Masae Ohtani from Melon Kinenbi has gone solo and released two digital singles. Looks like the first digital single, "Killing my caddy", will be released January 12th: http://www.amazon.co.jp/Killing-My-Caddy-%...mp;sr=8-1-spell The title says Otani Masae aka Himawari (Sunflower). She gett...

Now I have to find out about Hitomi, anyone has news on her?

She was hanging out with Yuki Maeda not too long ago:
