Hello!Spam :: 2017 ~Dancing Mode~

[Shoujo Q]

Generally if it's about a single, concert performance or album song, stick it in the thread it belongs. If it doesn't have one, make it. No one will be upset with you. :)


Spam is basically for that grey area that has no home. Like tv appearances and magazine shoots or interviews.

[Shoujo Q]

H!P updated the Musume to MM'17. And Hey guys, GUYS, did you know Miki lived in the USA!? :O (Because I'm laughing at the outfit they put her in. xD) 

[DonJuan]

Oh my god. This is like Mika Todd reloaded.

On Facebook, they're saying it's official: Ayaka is the new leader of H!P and Mizuki the sub-leader.

[sayu1991]

There is literally no more useless a position than H!P sub leader. Actually, scratch that, there is; co-sub leader in MM. Why are they coming up with such useless titles lately?

[Elpis]

I'm glad that Ayaka ended up being leader. It was expected, but there was also rumors of the leadership being redirected back to MM the flagship group, but I'm glad they ended up being false. 

[sayu1991]

I would've been angry if they'd given it to Fuku. Leadership within groups and within H!P has always been based upon seniority of the individual member, not the group. Dawa deserves the leadership position. She went through the trainee program, worked hard to build up S/mileage to major debut, dealt with the sudden imposition of so many new members that they overwhelmed the original number, dealt with the sudden loss of two of her generation mates, worked hard to build s/mileage's reputation, and continued to do so throughout the change to Angerme, loss of her last generation mate, and rising popularity. She's put in the work and paid her dues. She deserves this honorary title.

The first miracle of 2017.

I always thought that kinda was poking fun at how all the groups would have a leader/sub leader and being comical was Tsuji/Kago's shtick.

Ha ha! Yeah, that was real. We had a lot of fun with that at the time..

[Madara]

I picked up my New Year's programs from the Japanese video store today: FNS Kayosai, Parts 1 & 2 and Kohaku Uta Gassen, so I'm up to date. Anyone remember which part of Kayosai had MM and C-ute?

[JoshuaJSlone]

Wow, your video store has some pretty quick turnaround time.

[TicTacAnyone]

Wasn't H!S supposed to come out this morning?
 
Or am I crazy?

[momoirosaya]

Yeah, I don't where it is.

[Elpis]

It probably had a problem releasing at the normal time and when that happens, they usually wait until the next day so that they can upload it at their normal time.

[Solarblade]

Nah, neither, H!S is on break til next week.

[Madara]

I did a report on "2016: The Year in Hello! Project Fandom" on my blog (link below).

[TicTacAnyone]

The Girls Live had a biiiig no-no. 1:25 shows Aikawa singing, but Akari's vocals. This sorta shoots their credibility as a "live stage."
 
 
Good job.

That's Maho singing. Akari's voice just is recorded on the track doing the echoing yo's. Happens a lot with H!P songs where the backtrack or harmonies is obviously someone else underneath.

[TicTacAnyone]

Really? It sounds a lot more like Take than Maho to me...

[Shoujo Q]

Wow, Maho can't sing at all can she? I redirected myself to thissong, because I thought she was singing too much of a different song to really compare. 

[Derby]

Doesn't it look like they just sang the whole song live but during the editing they put Takeuchi's line instead of Maho?
Maho's line starts with "tsugi ga" and Take's with "ima ga". I guess they just picked Akari's line for the transition into the dance break.
After all you can even see Akari on the floor and then a second later already up (after she sang her line) and walking to the back.
 
I've already seen Girls Live doing poor editing before so it wouldn't surprise me.

[MejraThea]

I think you nailed it, Derby! That is without a doubt Akari's vocals at 1:25, and then seeing her magically teleport to the back right before the break definitely gives it away as an error in editing!
 
Edit: The uploader explained that it was an error in broadcasting, too.

[TicTacAnyone]

I guess I'm still confused... Doesn't this imply it's not really live/that they're editing vocals for the broadcast? 
 
Why would you even need to fiddle with a line that Akari doesn't even have in this version, let alone somehow include it? Wouldn't you accidentally do that if you were snipping together recordings?

[MejraThea]

No, it was live, but they performed the full song when they recorded it. Then, when they edited it for the broadcast they didn't show the whole thing only the short version, so they cut out the middle and blended the two videos together right before the dance shot. So Maho's line got replaced with Akari's audio because someone made an error when they blended the two parts together, it's pretty easy to do! I've had to make a short MV longer to fit a song, and it's a real pain making all of the parts line up to what you want it.
