I sense a new lead vocalist in Rio.

I hope anyway, because I’m tired of hearing the same girls.

Homare has tons of potential too but I think she just needs time to grow up and practice.

Rina’s solo performance and speech was on Hello ! Sta

Darn I knew it. S/mileage is almost a memory of the past and that breaks my heart.

Full MV of Totteoki no Oshare wo Shite:

1. Nice “A-Me-Ri-Ka” reference?

2. “10 years later I’ll be laughing” - it’s been 10 years since Rina joined Kenshuusei in ‘09

Dude that’s a great setlist. Wish the spring concert was more like that because I was really hoping for Dokkan.

I wish I knew Chinese and could make a proper thread for SING, but I can't even tell you the names of their songs, I just recognize them by the thumbnails. xD

Bless whoever 235yessy on YouTube is for making lyric videos for the B-sides!

• The Brand New Look

College Cosmos has two new (-ish, I'm a little late) MVs out:
 
Watashi Kakumei (My Revolution)
Shiawase no Arika wa Dochira Desu ka (Where Is the Place Where I Can Find Happiness?)
 
They seem even lower budget than the last single and idk how exactly but... yeah...

Lol Banana you can’t tell me that, of course I’ll search these people out. No idea why they took issue with my comment of wanting Riho to be a permanent member. I’ve listened to Babymetal for years and will continue to whether she’s there or not. Getting to see her on tour with them was just the ici...

Well that's a new idea. Are they taking out Yuka, too? And does this mean we're going to have to wait forever for a new single? :/

I must be heartless cuz I think it makes perfect sense lol

Wait wait wait. Of all the hardworking members who have graduated lately, they give a solo to Rina??


I don’t dislike her or anything but that just seems unfair lol. But I guess they needed to give her some kind of song without messing with Angerme’s line distribution.

Maybe it’s just lack of endurance. I know when I started working at a grocery store I had back pain for a while because I just wasn’t used to standing for that long at a time. I sure hope it’s something that gets better with time!

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="DonJuan" data-cid="218509" data-time="1567006627"> Also, their eyes sparkle while performing, they don't look as lost as you'd expect from someone who just debuted. Or has been in the group for years. Looking at y...

Princess Peach is on fire in that performance! So much charisma it’s hard to believe she’s a rookie.

Yes to Ogawa Saki and Murakami Megumi being gone TOO DANG SOON. Saki was my number 1 in Smileage and if I had been a fan at the time, Megumi would have been 1 or 2 in C-ute.

Crap I want all of them. She is so perfect.

Awesome introductions. There are so many members right at the beginning it’s going to take a long time for me to pick out any of them in a video, but this helps!

Assuming we’re not just talking about Morning Musume - First to come to mind: Uta. That girl’s career was the definition of “five minutes of fame” xD

Morning Musume.

Ok Manatsu no Kousen is a liiittle boring but it ain’t bad. But their first album still remains my favorite.

Karin is not necessarily my favorite but if she’s making her own music I am 100% behind her having a solo career. We really need a soloist in H!P and if it can’t be Ruru then I’m fine with any other J=J girl xD

Homare is the cutest doll.

(Also Chel’s recording session later in the video was interesting. She kinda struggles on the first take but usually nails it on the second. Sorry off topic.)

[/spoilerbox]

Yeah I would never believe this was a Hello Pro group if I just saw them on tv or something. I like the concept of how they kinda blend drama and song mainly in Megane no Otoko no Ko, and that one's okay, but these other songs just aren't doing it for me. Tbh if I had been picked for Beyooooonds ins...

Ha I kinda like that though. It’s kinda like senbatsu for kenshuusei. “You get more activities and a chance to make your name known — don’t blow it.”
