I really enjoyed the first season of Shugo Chara! Then, PEACH-PIT took forever writing the manga, so the second season went no where and the third season was entirely an anime-only arc. I remember watching all 52 episodes within a few days during my last few days of summer vacation. It was like the ...

The Chinese arrangement of Ame no Furanai beats all of the other versions, but it really is just a JunLin duet. I don't hear any of the other girls except Takahashi singing harmony.

Moonlight Night has almost the same structure as Otakebi Boy WAO! song-wise. Holy shit, this song is like on X. o.o

I like how they omit MADAYADE. Yeah, it was released on the best-of album, but they usually include those tracks on the next album anyway. That song was horrible anyway. It doesn't fit the other singles on the album. I was half expecting a Miyabi solo or even a Momoko solo, but we just ended up with...

[quote name='The☆AEUGNewtype' post='75480' date='Feb 9 2010, 09:34 PM']This matters not. That's like being the lead in the play at the community library or something, there's barely any exposure.[/quote]

She still got more exposure than Ucchi did.

I think the blue chick was the only one who looked like she was enjoying herself and watched too many H!P close-up videos. I still find none of these girls attractive and they all looked so bored. Not impressed.

So Ogawa Mana's solo song for the movie about ice skating will be featured on its OST and not as a single. You can view the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaNEXrQve2c

I think it's worth noting that Karen, Marina, and Shiroin were originally part of GTT Club. It was basically a group of back dancers and they also performed in the theater troupe. Then, some chick graduated and made Karen a solo artist, so GTT Club just became NICE GIRL Project! Kenshuusei. Yeah, ma...

Oh I remember now! That girl was named Cherry. She was Chinese and won the 2nd Megane contest. She was supposed to do stuff, but never did. As for the Chii-chan, I only mentioned that bit because she's not featured on the cover of their second album, but is featured in press releases and pictures. T...

What about the guys like TAKERU and that Samba group? XD



EDIT: And what about that other girl that wasn't Peach? Whatever happened to her?

And I think Chii-chan just recently became an official Canary Club member. She was originally like a member in training.

Recochoku is a Japanese cell phone ringtone/music download site. This version of Kimagure Princess was primarily released through Recochoku as a sort of preview to the actual PV.

[quote name='Ang' post='74525' date='Jan 23 2010, 09:59 AM']ETA: Out of curiosity, will this concert be put on PH?[/quote]

It all depends on if someone color-codes it or not. I really have no time to update the concerts section though. :/

They're just another sub-group from the show Quiz! Hexagon 2. It's where Yaguchi Mari's singles stem from and Satoda Mai's prior sub-group, Pabo, originated.

I haven't seen it on youtube, but you can listen here. And, yeah, it's a great quirky b-side: I was just hoping someone who knew the show or japanese could better explain what was happening in the song. I was going to listen to the lyrics a little more closely pretty soon, though it's just like eve...

Shocking 5 + Zansho + PV for an album track = Solos for all the members? Oh I can only hope. Shocking 5 is a fitting title all around and I need me some Chisato.

Hmm that's pretty young for a single mother. Makes me think she got knocked up at like 18-20 though. :/

Oh my God. She looks EXACTLY like her. But single mother? Wooow. How old is she?

My question is why it's so expensive. Media in Japan seems to be the most expensive thing they sell while food is relatively cheap.

Did they make those outfits JUST for the graduation? I remember that they had cow outfits for the encore... XD
