This was the best I could track down for the source: http://www.helloproject.com/news/200905151...sumemituit.html It was dated May 15, and she missed a fan club event a few days ago. I can only selfishly hope she'll be able to perform at Anime-Expo, so at least it happened two weeks ago and not today.

I was finally able to get to my new CD a few days ago. I know Erina just can't catch a break on this board, but she and this single deserve better than one reply to the thread. I guess you guys are all talked out from bashing her on the PV thread. I can't quite say the A-side has surpassed Lucky Aur...

I think Gee is an okay song, but I didn't understand the intense love for it a few months ago or whenever it came out. But I never understand the most popular of the popular songs. But I find it hard to believe that the producers didn't know what Gee was. I mean, I guess the audition was in Korea, b...

Do you think they'd agree to let me borrow the girls to shoot a story scene? My arrogant artistic vision goes beyond the "Variety" shots. Although the 6th one for each girl is pretty awesome and ridiculous. So many things can be done with girls falling on their faces while trying to run aw...

I love that in the age of computers and cell phones, I can just sit and watch the clock turn from 1:59 to 3:00 if I were so inclined.



Ah the pleasures of the tiniest bit of technology.

On the subject of folk music, there's an artist named Douji Morita from the 70s that I've always loved. I suppose she'd be considered psych folk or something, but I don't do genres. She always hid behind her glasses, big hair, and her guitar. Her music can be really depressing, but she has a beautif...

When I'm not listening to H!P or other idols, I listen to pop-rock that are somewhat descendants of the ZONE genre who fall more on the band side of "bandol" rather than idol. Chatmonchy is my favorite of these. A trio of girls who operate as a classic three-piece band--bass, guitar, drums...

I love idols from the "decade" of he late 70s to early 80s. They all had this certain quality to their voices that is entrancing. I absolutely adore Hitomi Ishikawa who was in the end of that second video and Iyo Matsumoto who was in a few of those links. But my guilty pleasure from the 80...

I hate when children shout-sing.



Well, at least these girls have an advantage in picking up the language much better than the girls who were older than they. It'll be a rough first year of immersion though.

Well, I think BLAH BLAH BLAH TALKING and it's sounds like it will be PROMOTION PR PR PR PR RADIO.



I suppose the real version can only sound better.



(Also, I giggled at the subtitle to the thread, Trike.)

We've set up a plan so that Morning Musume can be met in many parts of the venue. I hope this means that, like people were saying about previous Guest of Honors at AX, Morning Musume will be involved in other aspects of the convention than just the concert. Two seconds of hand-shaking event? OH YEAH

Her nerves only showed in her vocals a bit. She sold the song with her stage presence fairly well. Okay, "sold" is probably too strong, but her experience as an idol was definitely helping her (as can be seen in the visible change in her face as soon as the song and her performance is endi...

Nah, I don't think there's any way DQ9 will be a DSi exclusive. Dragon Quest games always go to the system with the biggest installed base for maximum sales. That was the whole reason the series was announced for DS in the first place. I'm taking the delay as a standard DQ delay, as delays are just ...

No digital downloads are reported by Oricon. It's definitely way behind the curve in its approach to reporting numbers, and the results are almost meaningless for the music world as a whole.

This is the very first quick cut of the entire video after the initial shot of a blurry shot of her profile.







Really, what more needs to be said?

I've always had more girl friends than guys. Well, not always. My friends in elementary school were other boys (and those friends are still to this day some of my best friends the few times I go home), but then I went to an all-male high school and learned to really dislike guys. I'm not sure if thi...

Kimura Kaela is not very attractive, is she? A google image search pulls up a few pictures that are at least not hideous, but that screencap is disastrous.

The lolicon stuff is not what she's famous for and is probably not the part of her work that represents how she's being used in this project. I was mostly clarifying that she didn't write young girls manga. But sure, the stuff she writes could be considered porn for women depending on how rigidly yo...
