^ It might be rare, but it could happen. I mean, if they keep her around for as long as S/mileage is around, she could still have a least a few good years......and possibly last longer than some of the girls that have now left H!P. Personally, if offered, I would take a few years over not ever being...

^ Isn't Dawa 17 as well? And Kanon and Yuuka are both 16 so I don't think it would be too awkward. And even though Sakitty is only 14, she still has always been around people older than her. Miyazaki could fit in.....if she wasn't so nervous. I don't think she'll make it just because she let her ner...

After reading a few pages, I'm just wondering.......for those talking about dance, are any one of you a trained or have been a trained dancer? Or heck, just taken dance lessons and performed in front of a crowd before? I'm just wondering. Anyway, all the girls have something to offer Morning Musume,...

I like the fact that H!P had a mini-revival for the groups...........but to have another run with those groups with those names would just be....well, just be a shadow of what was. And if they made another "mini-moni" persay, the new girls would get nothing but grief (with a little bit of ...

I've seen one where Reina, Aika, and Sayumi did Mini Moni Telephone Rin Rin Rin. They had the cutest outfits.



There's also one with Ai, Sayu, and Aika singing a Candies song. Can't find it now though. :(

^ I agree with you to an extent. On another note, I'm not sure why everyone wants another "Ai". I mean, Ai is Ai. Once she's gone, no one should try to replace her. We don't really know if Riho actually has the vocal capacity to even touch Ai. She sounded good in a booth without moving and...

^ And that's why Koharu is only writing a blog about....whatever. Ai-chan has the talent. Koharu just had...umm....energy. I think Ai's graduation was already in the making. I'm sure that either Tsunku or Yama-P already has plans for her. They were just waiting for what they thought would be the rig...

NO: to 9th gen

YES: to solo career

I've already said my piece on H!O about the auditions (mostly it was just telling the fans that they need to like, not be so overly-dramatic.....had to get through a bunch of crap just to get to a few intelligent posts)........but I'll say that and something more.... 1. I don't see Riho in MM. She's...

[quote name='eri' post='87021' date='Nov 3 2010, 07:12 PM']As a whole, I like the song much more than the PV. This PV makes no sense to me and doesn't really fit the music. Also, haven't we seen these white boots before? I hate them - they remind me of the late 90s. Edit: I just did a quick scan and...

The Other Queen by Phillipa Gregory. I'm just really fascinated by her writing style for historical fiction. Her topics don't seem to be too nonsensical or overtly romantic; so I do feel like I'm reading a chapter out of history and not a stupid 'chick lit' book.

I found this on the forum topic at H!O. I found it interesting. TSUNKU As for the graduation/audition topic. I find that I was shocked at first, but since this is like my 10th (possibly more) graduation, it didn't weigh as heavy for very long. I'm used to it. The most shocking graduation announcemen...

The PV is very geometric!!! But, the thing I'm not digging is just hearing the auto-tuned voices throughout the whole song. It's a bit much. But I was always like this about Perfume's songs. The songs are good, but I can't take the mechanized voices. If that phone came over to the US, I would totall...

WOW AUEG.........taking it personal, much? You sound like one of those gushing AKB-ites over at H!P when someone says that they really don't care for them.....actually, no, you sound like that idiot Krusha who thinks the world revolves around his butt-hole. The reason there will be a lot of HATERS a...

I'm gonna go fangirly on everyone now: Arashi---Monster........... they've let me down a bit since Truth so I really didn't want to listen to anything new from them; but I saw the PV and the dance moves to Monster and listened to the entire song instead of the clip on CDTV and I've been hooked since...

Not one mention of the upset with Brazil????



I'm shocked!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... prised.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

I'm more into the music aspect instead of the whole 'idol' package; but I just haven't really been able to get into AKB's songs. I mean, the only song that I remember is RIVER; but it's the only part where they say River over and over......but I can't recall the tune or the melody. But most of the d...

[quote name='eri' post='80755' date='Jun 9 2010, 08:26 PM']Hm. I don't really get why AKB48 fandom bleeds into discussing H!P fandom and vice versa. I don't understand when people go out of their way to talk about one's interest in a group as somehow necessarily the direct result of some problem wit...

^ I don't really think it's a mutually exclusive thing........I just think that too many fans over-evaluate one tiny little detail from either group and base whatever opinion they form off of that. And then instead of saying, "in my mind this is how it is" they write it as if it's the trut...

That'd be like me saying that H!P puts more money ...

Well, my thing is, that the magazine is standing confident in what they wrote. Most magazines will just back down and settle out of court or something like that; but they're standing on what they wrote. Interesting........................... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_D...

I must be the odd one out; but I haven't really had a good vibe from any of the songs that BK has released for Inazuma Eleven. I'm kinda like, "can Berryz just be Berryz again?" but then I'm wasn't totally sold on BK altogether (and doing Inazuma Eleven hasn't helped either). Don't mean to...

Yeah,



I think Riho or Honoka look decent.........do we know if they're actually going to sing or are they just filler for a certain character?

Well, at least she won't have to share the spotlight with anybody else. It's all her's which is probably what she wanted to do in MM until Tsunku figured it out and kicked the attention whore out of the group. Someone said she should stick with modeling.....yeah, I agree. No other music company woul...

I'm on a "pile" list so I have to finish Twilight Princess...........or my husband will beat me.......then after that I have to hurry and beat Super Mario Galaxy so that I'll be ready to play SMG2 when we get it. I have a really bad habit of starting games and not finishing them. I used to...

[quote name='JSp' post='77617' date='Mar 24 2010, 07:42 PM']Yes, sorry for my exaggeration. Of course they are still bringing something home, but all the choices still seem a little on the safe side to me. Except for °C-ute, maybe. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongu...

This is how I put it on H!O.......since I've already paid for the album, I'll just rip the songs I need (since I have all the singles that were released that were placed on the album) until I get my physical copy. Yeah, since I really don't want to have to pay an arm and a leg for the cd AND shippin...

I'm also one of those lazy people who work all day and then come home to clean and cook and grade papers.........so, saying that, I'm hoping that I still have at least a week before I find a good picture to send. How long do I have until it closes?

I like Morning Musume because of their songs, so the credit goes to Tsunku; but also, I liked the girls personalities and that the girls were all different and they all didn't try to sing the same way. They all had different voices and different ways of doing things and it never seemed that they wer...

To me, the only reason to have more members is to get more money (not to have a fresh new lineup--it'll be fresh to us, but it'll wear off); because, it will bring more fans who would gravitate towards the newer girls (even though 8th gen didn't get the warm reception that they deserved). I think th...
