The Official H!P Question Thread

[Kahoryn]

The guy was just some guy that Reina's character met and she wanted him to be the one to re-kill her.  The girls start to go crazy with "Near Death Happiness" and start laughing uncontrollably, until they inevitably fall into zombiedom when they're, what was it, around 13 years old?
 
I thought it was a really strange musical.  I can appreciate it for being different than their other ones so far, but I've liked things more like Cinderella and Ribon no Kishi a lot more.  I have yet to watch Fashionable and and the Audition one (can't remember the name of it).

[YuuakuRisa]

The ages were 14-17 I think...

[pandapanda]

huh.  Well, I need to find fashionable and the audition one on YouTube, because those sound way more my speed.  Does anyone know f they have been posted?

Stacy was a movie before: <a href="http://nebaker.hubpages.com/hub/Asian-H ... Zombies</a>

Novel, then movie, then musical.

Technically, its a manga. (I believe I found scans of the entire book and linked a zip download of it somewhere around here.)
It really is an amazing musical. You really should watch it. Its not scary or anything. (Creepy, maybe)
The movie was good too. But I have trouble finding Japanese splatter films bad.

[Haru]

No, it's a proper light novel as well. The manga is done by Osada Noto while Otsuki Kenji wrote the story.

[star]

The manga is all I could find. (Which I'm working on reuploading since the last time it didn't work.)

[al kusanagi]

I seem to recall them making a big deal about the novel's original writer also writing the play.

[star]

I noticed that the play was a lot more like the manga than the movie was.

I was trying to look for the light novel online today, and I came across "BLOOD the last vampire: Night of the beasts" . . . I must get my nook fixed so I can read it. (Essentially, that light novel is the beginning of the entire Blood franchise.)

[pandapanda]

Kikkawa mentions an ad on her blog for some coffee drink.  Does anyone have a youtube for it?  Is she in it?

[star]

This made me wonder . . .
<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
 
I always thought they had company apartments where the girls could live... kind of what modeling agencies have. I know that Kago for example lived in one of these during her time. I'm pretty sure most of the OG's did too. Very few of them had family in Tokyo

Can someone please educate me on this?

[pandapanda]

Star-  I know models usually are put up in NYC by their agencies so they can be close to their work-   most of these girls come from around the world, so they need a place to stay.
 
As for H!P, I don't know.  They come from all over Japan and most are minors.  

[star]

The quote was someone's response to my comment on one of Cuca's videos, and it just made me wonder what they did. I assumed that they moved to a close enough apartment that they could get to the UFP building daily, and that their families just moved with them.

I'm no surer than you are, but it sounds weird that an agency would move the family. I would guess it'd only be the singer, and I know S. Korea moves the singers of groups into dorms/apartments together, so Japan could do the same thing.

[star]

I wasn't talking about the company moving the whole family, but just the family actually moving.

[kira]

I think (if I recall correctly) Koharu's family moved. Or just her sister. Can't remember any others.
 
I don't think they have a complex for all of them to live in because of some incident. I might be mixing fandoms here on that one though.

It was just Koharu and her sister. Same with Aika and her sister.

[kira]

Okay. I wasn't too sure if I remembered correctly; it's been years since I looked into anything related to this topic.

I don't know about H!P, but Rising Productions moved Super Monkey's and SPEED to Tokyo without their families to live in dorms together (even though they were only middle schoolers in the case of SPEED).

[al kusanagi]

The first couple gens of MM were similar, but since then most of the girls moved to Toyko with their mother and siblings while their fathers stayed back home and kept working.

[momoirosaya]

I was literally coming here to ask about UFP company housing and it was just discussed, haha. It would make sense, especially for MM, or like the new S/mileage members.

[star]

Are MM/H!P doing another play soon?
There are pictures on their facebook of them in costumes (? I think they're costumes) on a play-like stage.

[Vikitty]

Riho, Mizuki, Kudo, Haruna, and Ayumi are in a stage play rn. <a href="http://www.gekipro.com/blog/gogakuyu/"> ... gakuyu/</a>
 

[momoirosaya]

Does anyone know where the mic rips come from? Does UFP release them somehow? Or they're from fans? I've been curious lately...

[Anderei]

It's the fans. I don't remember specifically how they do it, though.

[al kusanagi]

The girls use wireless mics and with the right equipment you can intercept the frequency the  mics are on.

[momoirosaya]

Ooooh I see, thank you!

[AurA]

This is a pretty old question but who was the billionaire Buono! fan who let the MVs be filmed around their cars? 

[pandapanda]

Dude that's cools.  Wasn't Juicy He@rt all yachts and fancy vroom vroom?
