I don't think she'll leave until told simply for the fact that she seems to have no further ambitions other than being an idol right now.

[/quote]



I think she'll be told.



She'll leave this time next year or at the end of the winter tour and a totally new MM will remain, I don't think we'll see any changes for around 2 years after Sayumi leaves.

Is anyone happening to be going to the July/August H!P concerts? I am almost certain I'm going to be in Japan for a week at the end of July/start of August and if anyone has a spare ticket or knows someone who does, well that'd sure be swell.



Is there a good website for upcoming concerts in Japan too? I'm positive I've asked this before but I can't remember.

[AurA]

I find buying tickets from resell shops the easiest way. You get to know what seat you are getting. It can be pretty expensive though.



The best shops i found for hello project tickets are the one near Ueno station, and the Harajuku Shop

[freezingkiss]

That's a good idea actually, I'll check them out when I get there and see if I can afford it. I just thought I'd mention it just in case anyone happened to be going.

[Anderei]

H!P DVD Magazine 37 in full. It's the 2013 Winter concert.

[star]

Even though she's technically not in H!P, yet, here's Cuca featuring a paper jams guitar.

[Haru]

If she doesn't get in I'm going to cry so hard.

[star]

I know. I seriously love that girl. If she gets in, it'll be good because she actually has talent and she's so cute. . . And we have the same birthday so I feel special that I have the same birthday as some one who is practically a celebrity.

Chisato and her baby brother. There are about 19 years between them! Which is the same age gap that Haruna has with her parents.

Cuuuute! Big age gaps are fun - my brother is 18 years older than me and he's definitely the sibling I'm closest to.  Are Chisato's parents really young?

[Shoujo Q]

Chisato's mother is 41, so I would assume her dad to be around the same age.

Just watched the DVD Making Of for Mizuki's photobook. That girl is so fucking gorgeous, but her outfits were so revealing it made me very slightly uncomfortable. I kinda wanna buy it anyway though to show support for another (better?) one. DILEMMA! I also have the impression these things are huge, hardback, and hard to ignore, soooo high school boobs hanging around my room frightens me a little too. Any thoughts?

[Shoujo Q]

Recently the photobooks tend to be softback and not hardcover. But be honest, you're going to have a photobook with Mizuboobs.

[showraniy]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I just... don't notice these girls in that way, so I guess I'll always be blindsided by teenage boobies. :( Aibutt only popped out at me in her 20+ photobooks, so I might just be dense.

I have all four on DVD, but I also have three of them (Memory, Live Revolution 21, and Love is Alive) on VHS. I brought the VHS copies to work so I can watch them in my office when the MM jones hits. (I don't have a region-free DVD player at work.) All four were among the earliest MM concerts I watched, having acquired them during that first week of fandom back in August 2005. Two of them, Live Revolution and Love is Alive, are still among my favorite MM concerts and I'd love to get them on Blu-ray. 
 
In related news, over the long weekend I watched the H!P Winter 2003 concert again for the first time in years and the MM set contains five of their greatest hits ("Do It Now," "Koko ni Iruzee," "The Peace," "I Wish," and "Souda We're Alive"), performed by the group at its absolute peak. Pure bliss and possibly the greatest 25 minutes in H!P history.

Type the text first and then highlight it and click the add link button.  It seriously took me 10 minutes to figure it out the first time.

I love Maa chan.  She's like a puppy
 
I feel for her manager though.

[star]

That's one of the best handshake stories ever.

[Noa]

Masaki makes me glad I don't have a little sister. I'd slap mine if she were that annoying.

[Haru]

Sooooo, I know you guys are all over Masaki like flies on fresh horseshit but this really diminished any respect I had for her.
I get the idea behind it but it's really just plain rude to people who pay so much for tickets and FC events.

[MiniLovely]

She's a kid. She doesn't have that whole professionality thing going for her like other young members have had drilled into them in the past. It's cute to read about in a story, but working with her and dealing with her in person must be annoying.
 
She has the kind of personality that people can adore on a fictional character, but wouldn't enjoy in person. Since it isn't everyday that a fan can see her (and foreign fans rarely see these girls comprised of anything but pixels), it's easy to forgive these traits and adore her, but I can understand why a fan who met her in-person would feel upset if she fudged a handshake he paid for. Not professional at all.

[al kusanagi]

He didn't pay for a handshake. He bought a CD which just happened to come with a handshake ticket.
 
And I'd much rather have a crazy Masaki story to tell rather than shaking her hand.
