Sayaka joining OFR48 would've made more sense had she been working in a bath house. Obviously this is a symbiotic relationship between her and the producer, her being their shoe-in into showbiz and the group being her vehicle back into public consciousness.

^ How different is what you're doing now from what we did then? 
 
We don't know all. We didn't know all. Doesn't mean we can't or couldn't speculate.

I think some people play it while sitting in a circle. That might be the version that those people were familiar with.

Do we count the whispers, grunts, wows and wowowowows as solo lines?
 
Also, has anyone already made a line count for each Morning Musume single, like how many lines are there in a song, not how many lines a member gets in a song?

Does it really matter if they get plastic surgery?


Some Japanese women envy how pretty Korean women look knowing full well that they could've been "customized"

^She had surgery to remove nodules in her throat. How does that not affect her voice?

I'm satisfied with the fact that it's not a sing-along to the original instrumental. After 54 singles of center-people + everyone else, I don't really mind line distribution or everyone sounding the same. I'm still probably going to listen to the album to death even if the songs are cringe-worthy to...

I'm curious about the new group that Tsunku was hinting at.

I think this would rely greatly on who among the girls would agree to join the Kenshuusei and agree to be in a group that's NOT Morning Musume.


Like Kuduu said in her 1/娘。video, it's MM or nothing.

They're done performing.Did happy summer wedding have the same formation as before?? I don't remember.


They did fine, in my opinion.

Yuko was 24 when the group was formed and she graduated at 27... I wonder if (hope) Sayu does the same.

[quote="Saya"] ^ ^but that wouldn't work again because tsujikago were actual best friends and of the same generation [/quote]   I think I would disagree with that. They were packaged that way but I really don't think that was how it really was. They were bound to get together since they we...

^Mari was leader when Yossy was sub-leader. Mari was leader for 2 months and 15 days. The scandal broke when they were promoting Rika's grad. single, Osaka Koi no Uta. 
 
Rika never became leader or even sub-leader of Momusu. 
 
*edit: Anderei beat me to it.

Being disgusting isn't an inherent, constant or permanent trait. Finding something disgusting is a reactionary feeling one can have towards another that may change depending on subsequent action. In that I don't think we can dictate to anyone not to feel anything on this matter, positive or negative...

I don't really mind skins but I like the simple non-bullshit skin in this BBS.
The editor isn't a problem at all.
Good job keeping the downtime short  too.
 
Thanks for the hard work.

My Japanese reading skills are possibly as reliable as either wikipedia articles but when the wota refer to themselves as モヲタ=Mowota、ベリヲタ=Beriwota、スマヲタ=Sumawota and ℃ヲタ=℃wota , I think that lends some credibility to the article I referred to. It makes more sense to me that it came from a contraction...

The term "wota" is a contraction of Momusu - otaku , Mowota . Otaku is a bit more contentious. So I won't go into that one. Also the 48's boom hasn't helped to make the image of idol otaku seem positive at all. Arson, theft , and sarin gas attack threats do that to the image of any group o...
