Man, I'd just be happy seeing them on MusicStation again.

Struck a nerve, have I? (Ouch! Sorry about that one.)



Seriously though, you think this will affect the girls appearances in PVs or even Ai's graduation? I seriously hope not.

[quote name='The Turtle Moves' timestamp='1311938933' post='104852'] I know it's not quite the same thing but what sparked the huge upturn in AKB48's popularity, they went a couple of years selling fuck-all records and then it suddenly seemed to all go mad? Any lessons to be learned? I think if Tsun...

Oh...her?

And I imagine the eggs have some sort of regular training camp, right? That's a lot of flying!

It also says a patient known as "Aika Mitsui" has been diagnosed with stress fractures on her left talus, lack of lips, granny face, Mediocre Performance Syndrome (M.P.S.), and "Oh-her Disease" which is a near-complete void of any interesting characteristics or notable character ...

Turns out Riho has compressed the sciatic nerve that runs from her lower back to her right leg. It's a condition known as sciatica. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatica Like rob said, it's possibly from a slipped disc, but it's a symptom of something else and not a disorder in itself. Mayo clinic r...

How can one smile...when you don't have lips?



What an awful photo of all the girls. Risa looks drunk! Kanon and Ai are the only ones that look alright.

Off the top of my head, Onna to Otoko no Lullaby Game is definitely up there. Giant white boots and cheap, badly fitted satin doily monstrosities.

Excellent points, but it could also be said that having the girls in the background and resting on the power of the elder girls is what produced the later crappy generations. Aika is a perfect example of this. These new girls give fans hope. We have at least three girls with amazing potential here. ...

This is the post you should be reading, Turtle. [quote name='The Turtle Moves' timestamp='1293310597' post='89923'] It's largely irrelevant what the girls are like now, go back and look at early Yossie, Aibon or Konkon, I doubt anybody (OK maybe Tsunku) would have forseen what they would turn into. ...

[quote name='eri' timestamp='1311641444' post='104370'] Does the distinction matter anymore? Arguably, one has to sing to be an idol and like, you'd never call some old male comedian an idol. But any young, cute celebrity who is famous for being young and cute will usually get at least 1 single out ...

Agreed completely, rob. Turtle we're not trying to get you to leave. It's just become boring when we can guess exactly when you'll pop up and bash the 9th gen. It's like you're obsessed and searching for any praise these girls get on the boards, and then it's your cue to shoot them down. It seems li...

[quote name='Petit Melon' timestamp='1311521821' post='104255'] Turtle doesn't love mm as much as others do. So what? I felt exactly like him during the dark age of Koharu. No one will convince him other than the girls themselves. WeAre a small knit board and I don't want a poster to leave because h...

I really think you should move on from Morning Musume then, duder. I think it'll bring a lot of peace to you as well as everyone else.

[quote name='The Turtle Moves' timestamp='1310985652' post='103846'] Before you all start jumping on me remember my opinions, like yours, are subjective. You might disagree with me 100% but your opinion has no greater worth than mine <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ton...

Oh Konkon...

It's like aine said, it's a photoshop layer blending effect. Everything dark in that image will have fire, everything lighter won't. Nothing has been cut off. I've recreated the same effect here. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e216/duncan0/fireregular.jpg This shows the placement of the fire pict...

Plus Takahashi will have been in the group three years longer than Abe.

I like Kikka, but when a song sucks, it sucks. (Alright, I'm exaggerating a bit here.) I still really dig the sound of Candy Pop.

What's the deal with Aika's feet, anyway? She's been in flats since Egao Yes Nude. Are they as malformed as her head?

Man, this is pretty shocking. The target age range is 10 - 17 again this time, right? Here's hoping he picks some older girls.

Becky's #5?!

That's probably less to do with technicalities over it being the "same" video, and more to do with automatic systems searching for known videos in their database. It probably takes awhile from them to get taken down because an actual human being has to flag it.

Nobody knows who is in Morning Musume anymore. Having new members at least gives them an excuse to constantly introduce them to people. The 9th Gen push makes sense.

Here's a recording for everyone who missed it.

That Australian girl anyone from here, I wonder?

Awwhhh. Poor Niigaki only has a first gen iPad.

That's about on track to be similar to Seishun Collection, but yeeesh!

Mari was blonde. The end.
