The girls seem to be in the nascent stages of blowing up globally. I'm seeing more and more posts about BABYMETAL in my FB feed from friends who've never listened to JPop. The cool thing is that, while it's clearly picked up the past week, it has actually been happening on a smaller scale for about ...

Do they give any more information wrt the precise location of the cancer? Because relative survival rates for  laryngeal cancer vary greatly depending on the location.   http://www.cancer.org/cancer/laryngealandhypopharyngealcancer/overviewguide/laryngeal-and-hypopharyngeal-cancer-overview-survival-...

Nah, I just liked your turn of the phrase. 

Yeah, i don't see what's so bad about that performance. I thought it was pretty good.

Never been a much of a Berryz fan, but they did record one of my all time favorite H!P songs.

Not my cup of tea, but I just wanted say that I literally LOL'd at your "aren't too faggy" line    .
 

[quote="ShiroiChanUK"] Am I the only one here that isn't keen on HADAKANO KISS? I love everything apart from the MV because it's boring like their indie single PV's and the music, not the lyrics just the music. It starts off with this lovely flamenco music and then it gets cut out by this ...

The song has grown on me a bit. I like the costumes and the dance, and overall the video is not bad for a low-budget H!P affair.

It's her pose. It looks forced, stiff and uncomfortable. I find it hard to believe that was the best shot of the session.

It's alright, but I think several of the songs on Love & Peace are way better.

Where in MI, TicTac?

Either my votes didn't register, or not all of the location pins are accurate. I voted once from home and once from work, and while my city shows two votes, neither are from those locations. 

I like the concept of the cover with the individual photos, but most of the photos are just meh. The group shot includes a lot of forced, awkward poses. I'm not a big fan of a lot of these outfits, either.
 
Sakura looks amazing in both, though.

Haha sorry madara, I hate cluttering up a page with too many quotes of the same thing if the subject hasn't changed in between.

Yeah, I usually only quote if there is a different subject posted between what I'm reacting to and my reply.

I usually like Tsunku's Latin inspired stuff, but this just isn't doing it for me yet. The chorus feels awkward and isn't particularly memorable. 

Fucking awesome.

I thought SNSD ended the year pretty strong with "Galaxy Supernova," "My Oh My" and Love & Peace.

Pandering to wota is low on my list of things to care for, so I'm fine with her being her own awesome self.

Especially when the wota are so clearly full of it.

LOL! Because all the other auditions made perfect sense. 
 
In the past, things like this were taken out on Tsunku or UFA. Now they are blaming the actual girl? That's fucking pathetic.

I suppose I have a different perspective since I didn't start following MM again in earnest until right around the time Sakura was added. Pretty much the entire group other than Sayumi was new to me. 

So what exactly is it about Sakura that the Japanese wota don't like again?  Because that spot is just awesome.

Riho is allowed to have an off night. It's not like she sounds like this all the time or even most of the time. She's fine. 

1. MM
2. JJ
 
And I couldn't care less about any of the other groups.

Jeez, one member? This is gonna take forever.

Apparently Riho popped off about taking down AKB: http://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20140207-00000011-rbb-ent
 
It's in the Japanese, so I have no idea what it really says. Hell, it could be an article stating that Riho wishes she was in AKB for all I know. 

That thread is a classic.

[quote="Shoujo Q"]Now is the time, the time WE FINALLY style Zukki properly. Whose with me!!!  [/quote]
 
Two words: Empire waist.
 

Well I was clearly wrong on how I expected this to turn out, lol! I really hope Ryouna makes it, because every idol group needs the eye candy. Not looking good for her, though.
