are any BBSers going?  I am vying for a ticket tomorrow and I would love to meet some of you in real life.

I know what you are saying, Star, but child porn is child porn.  It's wrong.  It's definitely my least favorite thing about idol culture.  These young girls might not realize what they are signing up for.  I think the blame should mostly laid at the feet of the companies that make millions exploitin...

MTV's writeup of the VMAjs featuring Sayu.  They have some lovely photos in the article.

About when will this play be released on DVD?  I dont think an official date has been set, but following examples of the past, is there a ballpark time?

Negligible or not, I'll never understand why any chart would not include all sales, domestic and foreign, physical and digital.

Same.  Oricon isn't looking towards the future of Japan's music.

Ga I love Kanashiki Heaven.  That song never got the appropriate spotlight, imo.

Estrea on H!O/JPLOP is already translating an audios recording she has. Just putting that out there.

I've been sick since Saturday and all I've done is try out home remedies and listen to the album preview on repeat.  It's seriously so amazing I can't even handle it.  I'm loving everything about this play, hopefully a subbed version will be up soon after it is released.   Is it just me, or is prett...

Ditch the gloves and I kinda like the outfits.   I would have loved the dresses to be a black version of this dress, but that would blow H!P costume budget for the year... http://picture-cdn.wheretoget.it/pbqm9l-l-610x610-dress-red-black-butterfly-sleeveless-spots-pretty-puffy-dress-white-rusty-brow...

Interesting reference.  Would love to have a translation of the lyrics!

Can't decide if I hate this song or what.
 
Talk about an odd couple tho.

I want this subbed so bad.  I'm incredibly intrigued.

AKB48 was featured in an answer on Jeopardy.

That dress is beautiful!
 
And Ai looks gorgeous.

Well, he's congratulating her because that baseball/HP otaku told him about it. There's probably not really a connection there.

Were'nt they tweeting each other during the Yattaru chan thing?

Well now I'm torn between Yankees (for the Mai Satoda link) and Red Sox (for the Kana link)  
 
Woohoo for team rivalries
 
Actually I don't really care I'm here for the players not the teams.

Dschinghis Khan.  I have to say I love that song.  Although Ai wa Itsumo is so good too.  It came down to sentimental value.

[quote="NekoKai"] There are some parts of this song that remind me of Give me Ai, but overall I like it.  It's cool and I like the Gaelic feel of the faster part of the music.  When the music's slower/less prominent it sounds mature and dramatic, which I love.   Black Butterfly speculation...

How do you get the little figurines of the girls?

Thanks!  I love Masaki.  She's such a nutcase:)

I NEED A GIF OF MASAKI AT 12:13
 
please.
 
I loved this special, it made me laugh and cry

Just wait for BuzzFeed to find this.

Ooooh I like the top row.

It's circulating Tumblr, and every time I see it I just have to cringe....

Really?  I know this isn't the most talented lineup yet I always enjoy watching their performances.  They really pump the energy.

Gotta hold that mic right.

I'm so glad HDYLTJ was included, I've been dying to see that since the setlist came out.

J=J needs some lessons from C-ute on werking the stage.  
 
I feel like J=J is best modeling in magazines.
