Not her fault of course, her voice doesn't suit the song. But isn't that just the kind of thing they should be thinking about??



IMO it really was terrible.

[Banana]

It was pretty bad, but everybody has bad performances, especially the younger and less experienced ones. It's nothing to get so worked up about. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' />

[rob]

yeh I kinda just brushed it off as a bad choice of song

[Haru]

She had it in the beginning and it just kinda flopped about a minute in. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' /> She doesn't have the forcefulness for the "AI!" that others do.

People always sing songs that aren't suited for them. Even big name singers do it. I don't get it either, but eh.

[rob]

It certainly seemed like her confidence slowly drained out during the performance.

[Anderei]

I've been pretty disappointed with most of the few solos she's done. She picks songs that are absolutely awful to sing as solos.



Speaking of, Maasa is taking suggestions for her birthday event in July. So feel free to comment and maybe you'll get lucky. Although fan recordings of her event will probably be hard to come by.

[Banana]

I've liked most of her solos, actually. Shabondama and Toumorokoshi to Sora to Kaze were a mess (although, there were lines in the second song that I really liked, lol), but Rairai! Shinfuu, Bokura no Kagayaki, and Osaka Koi no Uta were fine. Not perfect, but definitely good, all things considered. Speaking of solo songs, you know who has had a surprising amount of solo songs? Mizuki. I was counting them up and she's had like ten already.

[NekoKaiSai]

DaXiaoJie are releasing a new album. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' /> They've been recording songs lately, so I'll try to go through all of their weibos to see how much more I can find out.



Edit: For Mother's Day they sang part of their song Mama de Hua and played ukuleles.

[Haru]

Oh what cuties!! They're growing up really quick. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

I feel like this is related to Momo thinking Tsunku was gay. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

[al kusanagi]

Bitch, I know you didn't just call Tsunku gay! He will snatch you bald-headed, girlfriend! *snap*

Wota weigh in on the number of gay HP fans.

This post seriously is shaking my world right now. Is H!P just some campy outlet? I was re-watching DEF.DIVA and g'damn is that on European Dance Music Video level of gay.

Amuro-chan has lots of gay fans, too

Damn wotas stalking me! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />



Other great quotes:



[spoiler2]

You’d have to be gay to come to like H!P.

Tsunku’s music secretes pheromones that attract gay people.

Akimoto may be able to stimulate the crotches of middle and high school boys, but he does nothing for the heartstrings of gay people

Nowadays the only people who can with a straight face say “suki sugite baka mitai” are either gay or in H!P.

Some interesting quotes from that link:

Tsunku’s lyrics feel like they’re from the point of view of a middle-aged man who’s turned into a 13-year-old girl.

Akimoto’s lyrics feel like they’re from the point of view of a middle-aged man who’s looking at a 15-year-old girl as a sex object.

From earlier in the thread, one girl's heartfelt defense of H!P vs. AKB:

I’m a girl but I hate AKB and like H!P for exactly the reasons everyone listed above.



It’s just gross how AKB is so flirty towards men. I can’t come to like them at all. For me, even the kyabakura girls who do their work with pride are cooler than AKB. Being an idol is supposed to be about chasing your dreams and doing your best, but all they’re doing is handshake events and cajolery towards wota. It’s disgusting. It’s like how it’d be fine if you tried to curry favor with your teacher as long as you were still studying properly, but in their case they’re studying nothing at all.



If you’re a girl, it’s so easy to tell what sort of type other girls are. AKB’s members — while maybe not quite all of them — for the most part there’s no one amongst them whose character or personality I could come to like. Even the environment is one that doesn’t make it any easier to become friends with anyone. I think the environment in AKB will even ruin girls who were originally nice. Their management doesn’t seem reliable either.



Compared to other idols, the environment in H!P seems good and it feels like many of its members are reliable. And as far as I can see, that seems to be the case, too. There are no obvious ill-natured personalities. I’m sure they have their bad sides, too, but on a human level none of them seem like the type who I wouldn’t want to become friends with. (I can’t speak for the newer members yet, though.) Their characters and personalities seem fascinating and genuine for the most part. They’re fun and interesting. Plus, the office are stupid: they probably couldn’t tell a proper lie to save their lives. That childlike innocence makes them trustworthy in my eyes.



I used to just have fun enjoying the performances of the Platinum Era, but that in turn has made me hopeful about Berryz, C-ute and S/mileage’s new members as well.

Here's one that puzzled me:

There’s many gays who like Kojiharu for her airhead personality. Those types of fans also mostly liked Kamei.

Who's Kojiharu?

[Haru]

That would be Kojima Haruna, who's name I pretty much remember because she looks like a young Kaorin.

[rob]

So gay people hate AKB. How come?

It’s not just gay people. The whole country hates them.

<img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />



More and more of the kids that I teach are turning against AKB recently. The younger ones are still completely fooled though!

--Why are there so many queer expressions in H!P lyrics?





--This is the man who writes those lyrics.

My gay friend who likes Musume (or Kamei to be exact) says that Ookii Hitomi is his theme song.
