They don't learn. If they always need two tries to get a new generation nobody will want to audition lol.

That's sad. I guess all the touring and stuff doesn't help.   On another note, Hamaura Ayano gets her first photobook (called "Hamaura Ayano") on June 4. http://www.helloproject.com/news/5149/   http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/helloproject/images/1/1d/HamauraAyano-FirstPB.jpg   Short n...

It reminds me of some musical dress. Can't name it though. Maybe it's Meimi's favourite musical?

^Ah, I didn't know that.
 
Thanks for explaining!

Ah, alright. So it's got less to do with the (wrong) technique?

I think it's interesting that some singers get notibly worse once they're in the spotlight. Mizuki around Pyoko Pyoko Ultra? Nice and soft, I thought she might become the next Kamei Eri. Nowadays she's so whiny it's not nice anymore. Oda when she joined? Great talent, nice feel for music. Now she's ...

Might be a silly question: Why does this happen to some singers? Didn't Adele have a similar surgery?

The third song might be a new version of an anime song because it's supposed to be a tie-in with Idol Matsuri.
 
Might be this song since it's already promoted by Idol Matsuri.

Kiki might not be a good singer but she knows how to work the camera. Even if it comes off as creepy.

Their Cabbage Hakusho ~Haru-hen~ MV.   Not sure if judging them would be fair since they probably shot it waaayyy back, probably at the beginning of this year, but they're still awkward. Riko and Kisora must be the least attractive girls in H!P right now. I'm starting to like Risa more, though.   W...

Ohh I'm all for introducing 13th gen soon. If anything comes out of that audition.

To be honest I'm totally fine with the sales because of the digital sales. They might have sold less in physical copics than the last two singles, but digital sales always say something about the general audience. Also, I'm not that much into technology but I'm pretty sure you can't bulk buy digital...

Yes to both. I didn't want to call out someone
 
I guess the only ones who aren't shouting are Mizuki (she seemed to have something down her throat though? Her voice sounded pretty weak) and Haruna (her voice is too weak in general).

Yeah, someone's yelling out their lines. I thought this was a problem with MaiDigi's recording but it was the same with the performance on Buzz Rhythm so...

Again, huh. Well, they also have the handshake events starting this weekend.

Kurumi wasn't even that good to be honest. But maybe it's just the recording, because I was surprised how bad Ruru sounded in the beginning, too.
 
Yumei is beyond hope, but we all know that, I think.

There's so many cute and nice things in there, I'm really happy.

Inaba Manaka has been diagnosed with chronic asthma. Apparently she already had it in her childhood but it got better and didn't reappear until late last year. Doctor told her to rest and she'll be out for months. She'll even be missing the summer concerts.   H!P news Momoko blog entry Maimi blog en...

[quote="Farrah"] It's frustrating knowing that they actually make more money right now than AKB did back then but invest way less in their product. [/quote]   Which is honestly my biggest problem with H!P. We don't even have to take AKB as an example, since Aki-P probably knew what he was ...

Momoko and Airi have stayed in H!P through their university years so I doubt Takechan will leave. Especially since university in Japan seems much less stressful than high school.

H!S preview of Utakata Saturday Night.
 
DJ Zukki is good.

Well, she's not the only one who got shot in a very unflattering position. Miki, but even Ayumi and Masaki who usually look really good just look weird here.

As a Kanon fan there weren't many opportunities for me to spend money on her aside from photosets, but that's a must-buy.

I had really high hopes for Sakura because her level was pretty high for a beginner when she joined the group, but she hasn't improved much since, while others made the best out of their time in MM. Like in the beginning many people compared her to Ai, and I personally thought her singing was better...

Well, in a group with 13 people there might be two who don't get along that well. As long as it doesn't interfere with their work it's fine, if it makes them more interesting it's even better.

The sales aren't bad, but it's frustrating to see when good, creative songs "lose" against other songs in sales.

True, changed the topic too quickly, sorry haha.
 
Full version of Utakata Saturday Night
 
I like it quite a bit.

The best °C-ute single in ages and that's how thankful the wota are.
