[quote="Mizura"] Honestly, this news doesn't surprise me. There were rumors about this happening for a while, but changing the name JUST NO. I don't want it to be called something stupid like S/mileage '14 or something. [/quote]   Since they're taking suggestions from fans, it doesn't seem...

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Yuki" data-cid="179784" data-time="1411570113"> Thank you! Do you know about Ayaka's post date as well? Yes, I do think it may help to say which girls need preppers. Thank you for your hard work, MisaChii! </block...

After thinking about it for a while (and reading everyone's blog announcements) I can kind of understand the name change.  The original S/mileage was supposed to be four members, but then Saki and Yuuka graduated after only two years, and if Ayaka and Kanon are graduating soon, then it'll be an enti...

We're definitely gonna need a new call for preppers.  I wonder if it'll help to say which girls need preppers.  If aine doesn't post in this thread in the next couple of days, I'll message him about it.   Yuki , Akari's post date should be 24 Sep 2014 21:30:20, and Kana's should be 24 Sep 2014 21:29...

^Same.
 
The full MV for TIKI BUN is on this week's Hello!Station.  It's pretty boring, but nicely done.

This is shocking.  I think the name change bothers me more than the new members.  I imagine Ayaka and Kanon will graduate at the same time, probably in 2016 at the earliest.  Unless of course they decide to graduate with the S/mileage name.

But of course!  It's hard for me to lose interest in something once it's been piqued.  Do they only have one concert tour each year, too? Shinya's solo is sweet/cute.   Do you remember which song it was?  I need to go through and listen to their entire discography someday.  I never got into w-inds, ...

Ah, okay.  Thank you!  Omoide Breaker reminds me of some W songs.  Fairy tale is really cool, and Akira and Shinya are my favorite members.
 
Looking at Oricon, this single ranked number three days 1-4, and number four on days 5-6.  (The weekly ranking isn't out yet.)

The girls could be in Afternoon Magomusume and the boys could be in Night Magoko, and when they perform together they would be called Evening Mago! :D/   It is really surprising that they managed to keep it hidden for seven months, or rather that they managed to keep it hidden for the last three mon...

Limited C is gorgeous.   Both of the Bs are nice, and all the others are pretty good, too, they just seem like they didn't use the best image for each girl.

Because they don't want a concert where the audience doesn't know half the songs.  Just be patient, it'll show up one of these days.   [quote="Shoujo Q"] A while? It's been forever since they performed Do It!Now. So old in fact that whenever I joke about it, no one gets it. Haha.  [/quote]...

^I agree, it's been a while since it's been performed.  All in all it's a pretty good setlist.

"Goes" not "attends", but it wouldn't surprise me if she ends up attending that school once they go on "indefinite hiatus".

This week's episode : Team Makenki perfroms Mugen, Fly High!! Miyabi goes to a design school and the students and teacher there draw out her ideas. She picks out the fabric and then cuts, sews, and irons parts of a couple of pieces.  The students and teacher do the rest. Miyabi makes a °C-ute print...

着と(ぉ/お/う) is Hakataben for 着ている.

If anyone feels up to translating them, here're Tsunku's comments on J=J's new single.

[quote="Banana"] I love everything about this so far, except for the lack of real, long solo lines. While it's nice not having to worry about whether or not Riho or Masaki or whoever is going to butcher a line, I prefer it when the songs are mostly solos. But their songs haven't been heavy...

Tada~  Basically it's the folded cardboard case instead of a plastic one.  Though apparently I misspelled it, it's actually "Digipak".  I didn't know it was a brand.

^Limited A also comes with a digipack.   [quote="JPope"] Six new songs is bold (and exciting), but please tell me that that track listing doesn't represent the actual track order . [/quote]   It doesn't represent the actual order.  There's only one source for the track listing and it says ...

Tsunku's blog post on this single.

I really like the song, but all I can think when I see that dance move is "chika chika Slim Shady".

Here are some songs I ran across:   G.E.M. Heifun Nei (It's Cantonese); Paomo   Both songs are in the top ten of the hottest songs, and the first one is second place in the top new songs. S.H.E Bu Shuo Zaijian Mr. Haaksik Kongmai (Also Cantonese); Wake Up   Mr. is a rock band, so neither of these ar...

There's no way they won't release Date ja nai's dance shot this week.  I'm guessing TIKI BUN will be next week, Shaba the following week, and Mikaeri the week before the release.

Damn straight she is!  And pls yes, we'll actually get to see her fashion sense or lack thereof.

Does anyone know what happened with Mezumiiru , rokun , and/or mayuriin ?   [quote="Neminia"] Hey guys, sorry to tell you this, but university is starting again soon and I think I spend far too much time on H!P. It didn't really work the past semesters and it won't if I keep this up. Prepp...

This week's episode .   The Possible performs the song Eien Fireball! from their new album. Momoko coordinates for Berryz.  It's pretty funny starting at about seven minutes into the video.  Momoko's a little cheater. :cop: Berryz Koubou performs Maji Bomber!!, and then they grill Momoko about thei...

Other sites are calling it Towa no Uta.

That works, and is probably correct.  There are three readings for those kanji, so I just kind of guessed.

[quote="strawberryjam"] you're such a cheeky boon [/quote] Moi? :whistling:  (Ironically, I didn't even realize my comment came off like that.)   [quote="showraniy"] I'm not listening until the video comes out for maximum idol package, but I will love if I can call this song Chee...

Well we just got the ones for J=J's single that comes out two weeks before MM's, so I'd guess in the next couple of weeks.
