I actually like this song better than the last one, which I thought was okay but not wonderful. But you're right about the chorus, it shows much more promise than it actually delivers. The dude's clown face is sort of stupid, but Masae's hilarious fro-bow upstages it. At least, I think it's her, I d...

I assume the personified Hello!Project Kitty will be helping others with school romance issues, otherwise things would get weird real fast.



I guess it's good I don't live in Japan, as I'd waste too much money trying to see something so silly.

To become a fashion model or to do idol videos?

Erina has released her third major single. 1. Sekai wa Summer Party 2. Jasmine Tea Many people have already heard the a-side. The b-side is a pleasant song with the return of the soothing Mano. As Reina says about actual jasmine tea , it's refreshing and resets the mood. I have no clue if this singl...

Wait, I can only choose one? Because mine changes from Ai to Aika to JunJun depending on the position of the sun and which one is currently talking. I suppose I'll choose Ai for this, since I told her to her face that she was my favorite, and we can't go around telling lies to idols, can we? I may n...

The most surprising part was not long ago he had a real girlfriend, but that she dumped him. Normally this is the stereotype of someone who can't get a girlfriend. In any case, this is a clear warning story for how vicious girls mess with our emotions and, uh, cause the spurned ones to become delusi...

15 second preview? Ha! I got yer full PV right here on Dohhhup ! This is also my first time actually hearing the song; and, except for the out-of-place rap, I like the song. The video? The little hats are as cute as little hats, the white outfits are nice, Ai is pretty, and Risa is looking more and ...

Extreme wota are a jealous and deluded lot. I think that's like asking why someone would be upset if their wife went abroad to meet another guy. What I heard is that some of the Japanese wota were upset because of the close access the Expo was providing in terms of autographs and stuff. Although I t...

I guess my thoughts on it are, as opposed to the anime tricks (which I think I would agree turned me off the medium the same as you) that were in things like Dragonball, the "stalling" actually has a "purpose" if that makes any sense. The only one that has really annoyed me was t...

Not to spoil anything, but hahaha, it's still going. I honestly don't mind since really it amounts to only 30 minutes of my entire week, so I'm not getting worked up every week hoping it'll finally end like some fans. The direction of the episode gave some new visual motifs to keep a look out for to...

Well the album is now out there. High-King 's song is uninteresting and kind of a letdown after their above-average single. There's no reason to not just listen to the original "Diamonds". I love what was done with the voices in the C-ute/Mano song. Maybe all this time I have not really be...

Here's a list that someone made of press coverage of the concert: http://shortext.com/acqadmk9h

There's video of the announcement of the myspace OPV winners up on dohhhup. Part 1 Part 2 I wish the video wasn't a long shot the whole time and actually zoomed in on the girls, as some of the girls had great reactions to the videos. Watching JunJun be an airhead while half-clipping was the most enj...

That was the one that won the "Morning Musume" prize. The announcement was filmed for Dohhup if you wanna see the other winners: Part 1, Part 2

Yes, you're right 8, 12-14 are new. And yes, you're still complaining about the same thing as before, though it's really not that hard to follow. Anyway some fansubbers that I've seen are calling them "Haruhi Suzumiya 2 - 01," "Haruhi Suzumiya 2 - 02," etc. if that helps.

Whoa, she captured her weird face perfectly, so it's probably not Tsunku since she's proven her ability to portray creepy faces in the game well. That's just a joke, by the way. I mean, I very easily could see Tsunku in that if not for the more girlish eyelashes. He does in fact play the game as wel...

So, AKB in New York in September? I wouldn't trade my Anime Expo experience for anything, but it has certainly left me way less than zero dollars to even think about going. I haven't really paid attention to AKB48 (or anything really) in the last couple of months, but I see from strawberry and aine'...

Meeting those girls was terrible. I thought I was immune to that sort of idol emotional manipulation, but:



They break your heart with a smile.

1) Berikyuu replaced Uta Doki's timeslot, so each episode was 7 minutes long (I think it's like 4 minutes of actual content). Most of the time it seemed like they just filmed 30 minutes or whatever of a continuous segment and broke it up into chunks and showed it in bits from Monday to Friday. 2) Sh...
