Covers are out.
 

 

Thanks for the link to the bonus footage. And yeah, I feel the same. I do like Momoka, though.
 
Oh yeah and Kanemi Ruru reminds me of Meimi in the way she sings. Must be the musical stuff.

Thanks for telling me, guys. I'm a teeny weeny shocked, especially since basically everyone has cell phones nowadays. 
But I guess some parents go that far. Yikes.

Covers are out.

Don't know about the first question, but they've never officially said anything about Masaki leaving the stage. It is rumored that she was in pain, maybe her back, since the camera cut from the live version showed her a few times spacing out and looking in pain. She missed a few songs.   /EDIT: Look...

They're quite an interesting bunch. Not sure which one I'd like the most, but so far there are two three things that stick out to me:   How can you only recently get internet access when you're 14? I mean it's not impossible, not sure where she's from and how strict her parents are, but that's reall...

Not saying Kiki sounds amazing, but she's definitely better than I thought she'd be.

Maybe that's a clue on who leaks the photographs. It's probably someone who doesn't know her family too well (I don't know which kid would kiss her on her cheek other than family). It would kind of rule out the boyfriend, because that guy would only leak photos with himself, right? Or in general, th...

Yeah, especially the nose is very childlike.

Thank you Valerie! Yeah not everything has to apply to H!P and considering that some have been caught over the last 2 years (Mai, Rena, Taguchi) it doesn't seem very effective.


By the way, a third picture has been leaked...

Juice=Juice also had Jouro release too, but yeah many forgot about that XD

Damn, I did... so J=J wasn't even that bad off this year. I mean their world tour in general was already big and they got two good new members, but now, with basically 4 releases...

Ah, well, makes sense. It just makes everything feel slow.

Good point, especially considering how much they milk J=J's touring. 
 
And yeah, less releases make sense, but honestly they could also just split two triple a-sides into three double a-sides. I doubt fans would care.

You know what? Looking for stuff to talk about I realized that there really were embarassingly few releases this year...   - MM got two physical singles, 6 months apart from each other , fortunately a (self-cover) digital release and an album as well or else H!P would've looked really bad - ANGERME ...

^^ found the article, unfortunately not the commentary thread I had in mind. https://japantoday.com/category/entertainment/3-ways-the-japanese-entertainment-industry-keeps-idol-singers-from-dating


I think it was on one of those translated matome sites where I read it.

Yes.


No, but there was a translation somewhere that they actually plan the girls' schedules so tightly and basically just tell them a day in advance so they can't make plans or something. I think it was a leak by an anonymous (non-H!P) manager, can't find it right now.

Rena's was definitely post debut because she had dyed, longer hair . Considering her make-up I'd said Taguchi's picture was also taken post debut.    /misread your post lol... it's surprising that this all happens in the same time span.   Yeah, the thing is whether or not Up-Front actually dares to ...

What? What??!! This can't be true right? This must be a fake right?? 
I mean I honestly don't care about that rule, but since that rule exists they should at least make sure this stuff doesn't leak.

[quote="Meikochi"] Did anyone else bother to watch MM press conference for the opening of their 20th annivesary's café ? Would like to hear people's opinions about Masaki's answers lol. [/quote]   I do not like everything that Masaki does/says, but that was pretty funny.   ^As far as I kno...

Ah, good point.


^^The smaller group songs have been performed in their running concert tour, but they haven't been released yet.

One new song eh. And yeah I'm 99,9% certain they'll add Masaki to Jealousy Jealousy.

Quite a surprise. I'm hapoy they're doing a bit more for the anniversary than only rotating as many songs as possible in their concert.
 
/EDIT: Btw, Ayappe and Asuka are looking great.

Well, seems like the auditions will be aired on AbemaTV.  http://www.helloproject.com/news/7753/   Starting from November 13, title of the show is Shoujo-tachi no Ketsudan ~Mitchaku!! Hello! Project 20th Anniversary Audition.   The auditions will be watched and probably commented by several H!P OGs ...

Yeah, I remember lots of people saying they were ugly (probably because the fabric was weirdly shiny) but I thought the outfits were cool.


The new ones aren't bad, just boring and uninspired. Like right out of their concerts.

^That's Kawamura Ayano, the new one from the KSS.
 
Come to think of it, purple and yellow makes them look like yams. Autumn authentics.

Finally. And jupp it's the first album for them.

Sadly we probably know all the songs already, they performed them in the concert.

Of the PV content, the only one that interested me was "You're Young Anyway," but only because we get lots of Haruka in it. I'm assuming this is her graduation single?

Yes, it is.
