Fffffffffff! I love Wink! Now I have to see this.

Blue and green are totally the same thing.

Before YouTube, there were still ways to get Japanese videos online. (I'm pretty sure "Do It! Now" was the first video I'd seen of the group.) My brother was also really into J-rock music around 2001 and 2002, and imported as many Japanese music mags as he could afford. Around that time it...

Minir dees You reckon she meant to say 'Mini Dress?'[/quote]



As developmentally stunted as Tsuji is, Minir Dees is a clothing brand. http://minirdees.jp/

Maki is a movie star while Ai is a Broadway star. Both have talent, but it's just a different vibe.

Morning Musume survived Koharu. I think we'll be fine.

Erina - She is like a foreground photobomb. She just ruins EVERY PICTURE.

Bwahahaha! I honestly cackled like a madman when I read that.

Thanks for the awesome graphs, donut! Man, it's pretty easy to tell how much of a contrarian a few of our members are.

1. Takahashi Ai - I actually can't believe I'm listing her as #1, but she is an amazing performer. Ai basically held Morning Musume together for years. Her photobooks are also usually smoking hot, which I can't say for the rest of the girls here. Eri most likely would have been in this spot, now tha...

[quote name='CO2 Blasted Idols' timestamp='1298833867' post='94408'] Basically, my point was no other group can really copy "S/mileage sound" because S/mileage songs are a big combination of past styles in H!P. [/quote] Yeah, I actually heard a lot of early Ayaya songs in this. Like a ska ...

Can someone tell me why Erina is at all interesting? Is it the underdog thing? The girl simply comes up last in just about every category I can think of, except for dancing. And next to Riho, Mizuki, and all the older girls, that doesn't amount for much. :\

If any of these recent cover albums are any indication, we'll eventually see a ten-member rendition of Love Namida Iro.

Wow, Fukumura surprised the hell outta me in that pic. I was looking over everyone and had a sudden "W...wait! Who's that girl!?" moment. I guess it still hasn't sunk in that she's a part of 9th Gen now. She looks cute, though!

[quote name='CO2 Blasted Idols' post='91746' date='Jan 14 2011, 10:15 PM'][Erina looks like it pains her to smile, Kanon makes up for that too much and Riho is perfect.[/quote] Well that's obviously because Erina is a sleeper agent reporting back to AKB48's Yasushi Akimoto. She's just biding her tim...

Hahah yeah. This lineup has an average age of 17.3

Awwhhhh yeah! Super excited about everyone who got in! Now I'm ready for nicknames, shoe sizes, and bloodtypes!

Gahhhhh EXCITED. Cannot waaaait~

[quote name='Nicky' post='89954' date='Dec 26 2010, 05:47 AM']I heard Erina has posted some lines on her twitter account which leads some to believe she is (part of) the ninth gen.

Totally thought the subject said TSUNKU. Congratulations none the less!

The age range still baffles me. Yeah, who cares about Kikawa Yuu? Let's get some more girls who were born after Morning Musume was created. Hell, 10 year old girls were born after Momusu got popular.

Man, that bread looks pretty good though. And it looks like Japanese bread doesn't have any heels? Huh!

Is this really gonna devolve into another rundown of our feelings of every member? zzzz

Sorry to climb out of the woodwork here, but I'm a portrait illustrator by trade. Trike is right. Makoto is leaning toward the camera while Ai is leaning away. Plus, having her head tilted to the side isn't helping things. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e216/duncan0/tilt.jpg Adjusting for tilt, i...
