She's now on Twitter as @kanonfukuda.
 
And H!P was as quick to fake up a group picture without her as they were for Uta-less Country Girls earlier this year.

ANGERME 3rd gen did have their one pre-ANGERME performance as part of the opening act at Sayumi's grad concert. Interesting it's not on the disc version, but they showed it on H!P Station soon after. Episode 95, looks like.

As of yesterday I reached the point of no return on Prison Island, so I should be finishing today. I took so long playing this, Jenna Coleman spent more years as a voice actor in my save file than she did as a companion on Doctor Who.

^Together and as part of a tour, yes. They were also all at the Countdown shows at the end of 2014, but split among two venues.

Been putting time into two games lately:   Xenoblade Chronicles . I got this game when it first released in North America in 2012, and enjoy it a lot... I just trailed off after several dozen hours. Later I picked it up and resumed for a few more dozen hours, but it's a pretty long game so even that...

Friday it was #1 with nearly 14K sold; I'm assuming that's the second wind from those box sets. Still doesn't seem it will have a week like their last two, but now it will be "low for ANGERME" instead of "low for S/mileage".

I haven't seen the video... but they seriously had a situation where there were new members backstage and not all the current members even knew?

Elsewhere it's been pointed out that since the announcement of the box set was so late and orders still being taken, this doesn't include those numbers as it normally would. So this could be an exception to the total numbers being so extremely loaded into the first day, but how much difference that ...

Watashi on YouTube.
 
Also for whatever reason the single is already available on iTunes. I similarly heard C-ute's last single got out a little early, too.

As long as so many of you already didn't care for the two newest songs, the 60th was pretty bound to disappoint whether it released in December or March.

Old Country Musume added new people every year from 1999-2003, too. Though Country Girls is losing them more slowly.

An album with six new songs, but spread across three editions? https://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/default/facepalm.gif   You can see it above in the "truck" image, but I notice this includes another new DANCE☆MAN track. Also among these new tracks: more Kodama Ameko, Hoshibe Sho, an...

ANGERME being back on Twitter necessarily leads to more ANGERME pictures, which necessarily leads to more creepy Dawa face.

I don't think it's a scandal but... Why are those pictures in a cookbook... I don't understand, lol.

It's a magazine photoshoot, unrelated other than that it's automatically advertising for Goto Maki-related things. Here's a cookbook image.

 

Is this some beef about pregnant women in general, or is there something more to it?

With Berryz gone people sometimes wonder how much longer °C-ute will go on, but putting up numbers like these I don't think anyone's going to be rushing them out as long as the members are happy.

Regarding telling people apart, I made an Anki deck, of all things.

Dondengaeshi (Promotion Edit) on YouTube.

Do they really need special incentive to release a Morning Musume single every ~4 months? A year with two singles and no albums would be a new minimum.

This was announced about a month ago, but there wasn't enough known to justify making a thread. There still isn't much really, like what will actually be on this thing, but at least <a class="bbc_url" href="http://www.helloproject.com/release/detail/HKCN-50457/">covers are out no...

[quote="Kalle"] I just hope this doesn't mean there's going to be a trend of MM shedding girls every year to reflect the name changes. :/ [/quote] Ehh, shedding girls every year is much more the norm than not. Nor did the last loss go pat with the name change, since there was a month of Mi...

YouTube's stance that "No, if you don't agree to new terms you can't just continue with the old ones." seems pretty dumb to me, but maybe that's why I'm not an Internet billionaire.

Desugita Promotion Edit up.

Ooki doesn't seem to have a regular dance shot, but there is this simple just-Okai video.

The outer part is nothing to write home about, but the inner part worked well enough.

Searching for H!P stuff on eBay, as one does, and I ran across something I don't think I've seen before--replica outfits. In this case someone is selling a Takeuchi Akari outfit, I believe from their 2014 Budokan show.   Or just follow the link if you've ever wondered what Takechan might look like a...

I played Love Live for a while, but my phone has little enough storage built in that eventually it just became impossible to install the latest update, so I had to ditch it.

Well huh. Doesn't that seem kind of counter to their move of hardsubbing English onto the videos?

When I look at a cover like Regular A, I can't help but imagine Takechan being happy that Meimi and Rikako seem to have inherited the pants in the family this year.

Someone at the wiki posted that this single seems to already be available at Recochoku.
