My fat DS broke, so I caved in and bought one. I really like the interface improvements Nintendo made, and I'm anxiously awaiting when they're going to start tapping the huge power / / / / mentioned.

@ TightWetPucchi: Don't forget Keiko Awaji, co-star of Akira Kurosawa's drama Stray Dog. She's almost 80, and she said in an interview that "She would really like one or two more Dragon Quest games before she dies." If that doesn't break the heart <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_e...

In all honesty, as much as I love all of the members I thought this would be a vocal train wreck. Consider myself surprised, as I'm going out on a limb and saying this is the best Buono! OP ever. I'm simply in love with this song.

sadude and I were talking today, and we were both amazed at last week's sales upset. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Mano Erina's single Otome no Inori sold around twice as many copies as Morning Musume's 9th album PLATINUM 9 Disco. The only problem was, we didn't really have a thread to p...

The Up-Front Agency's Website has been restructured, detailing the big moves. There are a few surprises that I saw, and some major disappointments.

On the heels of Naichau Kamo, Morning Musume are set to release their 39th single on May 13th, 2009.



Isn't this just a little too fast to be releasing another single? C-ute had an excuse because LALALA Shiawase no Uta had been ready to release for a while, but seriously. Wow.

Live Performance on Quiz Hexagon II



I teared up a little bit when she was sobbing and going "It's been four years, thank you." at the end.

What a great follow-up to FLY AWAY! Honestly, when I first saw Koda Jr., I was expecting end-H!P Maki, which made me really sad. But seeing her doing things like blowing bubbles in a bathtub and throwing clothes all while laughing with a natural smile was really refreshing. It was a fun sexy, compar...
