[Shoujo Q]

It's so expensive because they throw in the wristband and photos with it.

[yuzuriha]

Yeah, I know, but I still can't justify that unless I get my raise.  :(
IF I GET MY RAISE I AM TOTALLY GETTING SAKURA'S THOUGH OMGMMGMGMMMGMG

[Shoujo Q]

If I were to get a shirt I think it would be the generic group shirt, but I wonder if they did away with it in favor of the hoodie?


I'm glad they finally gave the groups glow sticks.

[Kalle]

I like the design but I don't know if I want to drop another 3500 on MM shirt sets at the moment! I do kind of like the scrunchies as well, although my hair is kind of thin and they look kind of big so I don't know if they'd look goofy on my head or what ( and putting them anywhere else feels silly. )

[Anderei]

Scrunchies look goofy on everyone. But they're great for pineappling your hair at night.

[Melon]

I love scrunchies for pulling my hair back when I'm lazy. If I bought a MM one I dunno if I could wear it...plus Japanese hair seems/looks rather fine and my hair is anything but so I doubt they would even be able to hold my hair.

[Anderei]

Their hair actually tends to be coarse, but thin. So, yeah, if your hair is thick it might not do much for you.

[momoirosaya]

My hair is too thin for scrunchies, cause you can only really twist them 2 or 3 times, so I use a normal hair band underneath.
Then again I'm pretty sure Japanese girls might too.
 
I want MM hair scrunchies :(

[Estrea]

Remember the guy who did this article? <a href="http://blog-project.net/special-transla ... /153854</a>
 
He just tweeted that he's going to publish a special interview with Riho and Zukki soon:
モーニング娘。鞘師里保＆鈴木香音インタビュー掲載決定！15才コンビの2年9ヶ月……そこにあった葛藤と夢。彼女の側だと素顔になれる15才と、純朴に彼女を敬愛する15才のリアル・アイドルストーリー。近日公開予定です
 
Translation: An interview for Morning Musume's Sayashi Riho and Suzuki Kanon will be released soon! The 2 years and 9 months of this 15 year old combination...the troubles and dream-like times during that period. The real idol story of the 15 year old girl who can show her true self only next to the other, and the other 15 year old who simply loves and respects her. To be officially published soon.
 
Pretty sure the first one is talking about Riho and the latter is Zukki. XD SayaSuzuuuuuuu <3

[yuzuriha]

Growing up in ballet I accumulated a lot of scrunchies because they were the easiest thing for putting my hair in a bun for class.
 
A little over a year ago I hosted a scrunchie party and bought everyone scrunchies and we watched Melrose Place.
 
I would also really like a Sakura scrunchie the more I think about it.

That sounds absurdly fun

[tsukinobyouin]

I don't think Japanese scrunchies are specially designed for Japanese hair. Especially not ones made by UFA and are demonstrated being put on towels for the male wota. Scrunchies are pretty much just scrunchies. Claire's in Japan looks just like Claire's in the US. They're made in a bunch of different materials and colors and exist to be cute, not to suit hair type. Like Saya said, most people put their hair up in a regular ponytail holder first and then put the scrunchie over it for decoration. These look to be satiny, so even if you wanted to use them for pulling your hair back while lounging you might need an elastic band underneath. 

[Anderei]

If you guys remember, CD+DL Data was having fans vote on which member would take over Reina's column. The result was Sayumi. Duh.
 
Well, actually Mizuki had the most votes, but Sayu got it. I don't know why.
 
""Sayu Produced : things to do with single titles" it will start November 14 (published every other month on the 14th) in the November/December issue. to help her come up with ideas she should do with single titles, use the hashtag #道重プロデュース"

This week Sakura sings some Miki! (and she does a damn good job of it too!)

Chinami wrote a blog in English <a href="http://ameblo.jp/tokunaga-chinami-blog/ ... 63.html</a>
 <3.
 
It's cute and I commend her efforts, but lol Griffin Dole.

[Anderei]

I went in expecting to completely not understand what she was saying, but I am pleasantly surprised.

[Farrah]

Chinami is literally a princess. Griffin Dole 4lyfe.

<a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x14yiu ... yle">These Satoyama</a> episodes don't get posted much, but Chisato waking up Aika, Nakky and Eripon is the cutest thing ever.

This will be of interest to roughly 0 people, but I thought I'd share it anyways.
 
I was going through my Twitter feed when I saw that Boston Red Sox pitcher Koji Uehara was <a href="http://twitter.com/TeamUehara/status/38 ... weeting</a> to Kana.  After looking around further, it looks like Kana is one of the 103 people he follows, and he has even commented on her solo DVD.  Apparently this all began when a fan commented on Kana's first pitch at a baseball game earlier this year, and how both of them share a similar <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Ay9woBQ.jpg">follow through</a>.
 
Again, this may not be very interesting to most people, but I can't miss an opportunity to share when baseball and idols come together.

That made my day.  
 
Next time I'm at a thrift shop, I'm looking for one of his shirts.

Griffin Dole. Bless her soul.
That was adorable. I'm so happy to see her improving.

I WILL GEEK OUT ABOUT THAT WITH YOU. My fiance is a huge Orioles fan (or was before he started working for the Pirates) and Koji was a fan favorite

Yeah. She and Akari threw pitches for their campaign in Osaka this summer.

Alright someone help me find this video:


 
I need to know why Koharu is on her knees bowing to MM. If it is why I'm guessing it is, it's glorious. 


Edit: I just read the text in the back and it's probably not what I'm thinking. Still, I'm interested.

It's this one, in the first part:
 
[quote="Shoujo Q"]
Morning Musume were on OhaStar! Koharu was there too, but it seems like it turned into a Koharu roast near the end of the talk. (I can't tell!!).
 
Watch it while you can. Part <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... tOU0">1</a> / <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... 9EsM">2</a>  (1 is talk, 2 is performance, it starts at 4:38.)
 
They promote their single and album, mainly the album but since they performed Waku/Joke I put it here.

Poor Koharu, she was all excited about her new corner. I'm starting to think that Sayu is still bitter about those times

Berryz Koubou and Kalafina are featured in this week's <a href="http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/rcms/jpop/jpop ... l">CDJapan Weekly Sale</a>. IIRC this is the first time in a long time when both featured artists are of interest to a lot of the members here.

A nine dollar copy of Cha Cha Sing is so tempting but I can't charge any more money on my credit card right now. D:
