The Official H!P Question Thread

[Vikitty]

Yeah I recall the same thing, because MM '14 is different from MM '15 and so on and so forth.

[Solarblade]

The only non single songs that got pvs were Momochi Yurushite Nyan Taisou, Loving you Too much, and Succha ka Meccha ka~ however that last one wasnt what Id call a PV

Do any of the OG or current members have an Instagram acct? I subscribe to Miki Fujimito and Takahashi but don't know of anyone else.

And that's it. But if you want non-MM members:
 
Kikka:
https://instagram.com/kikkawayou_official/
 
Umeda Erika:
https://instagram.com/UMEERI524/
 
And that's it. Haruna + a few OGs have WEAR accounts, which is similar to Instagram.

Is anyone else having the problem that every Berryz video before Be Genki <Naseba Naru!> says "This video is unavailable"? Are they privatizing them or am I just having this problem?

[Haru]

Works here.

[Meikochi]

It works for me.

Is it just those photos or has JunJun gotten really skinny?

[Anderei]

She's gotten very thin the past few years.

What is Riho talking about?

[momoirosaya]

I looked at the original blog post, and I don't know what Shuwa-chan is (sounds like some exercise thing based on the context) but it should be...


"It seems that even Hollywood actors like Arnold Schwarzenegger are doing it too."

Shuwa-chan is Arnold's Japanese nickname. What I meant is, why did Riho suddenly mention him in her blog?

[momoirosaya]

She's talking about exercise. I guess her teacher told her that even Arnold Schwarzenegger has to gain weight before he can define his muscles.

[MejraThea]

That post completely baffled me. Even Arco looked at it with me, but we couldn't make heads or tails of why she brought him up.

Thanks, Saya, I'll fix that.

[yuzuriha]

lol Shuwa-chan is a Japanese nickname for Arnold lolol
 
/edit OK I took too long to hit edit there and y'all figured that part out.  Oh well.

[aine]

Got it, thanks for clarifying y'all.

[MejraThea]

Who is Otsuka Aina under now? I saw in one of her posts that someone bought her goods, so I assume she is in some agency to make her goods.

Last I heard she was doing stuff by herself, without a company.... Idk if she's signed since then =o

[Shoujo Q]

It's not hard to make goods to sell so being an indie idol with goods isn't unheard of. I went to a few indie idol events in Japan and every one of them had goods to sell.

[MejraThea]

Oh, I see. Thanks.

[momoirosaya]

Does anyone know if they sell those Satoyama & Satoumi de Ikou sweatshirts anywhere online?

[Meikochi]

They were limited to the staff members and groups members, if I recall well.

[momoirosaya]

Ah darnit. Thanks Meikochi!

Question about Hello! Morning. Was there a name for the regular segment where they had to read a commercial for a new album while on a thrill ride at an amusement park?
 

 
I ask because in my latest film blog entry, I compare it to a sequence in the Hibari Misora musical, JANKEN MUSUME, where the girls sing on a roller coaster and I wanted to name the segment if it had one.
 

 
https://briandanacamp.wordpress.com/2015/06/14/janken-musume-1955-first-sannin-musume-musical/#more-2673
 
After I posted the piece, I had a dream where I'm in Japan and I meet Misora (looking as she did 60 years ago) and I try to ask her questions and stumble over the word "Sumimasen."

[kitaoji]

I tried to find the Hello!Morning wiki with no luck, but in the upper right hand corner of your screenshot, it reads "Zekkyou commercial".  Zekkyou could translate to 'extreme shouting' or 'screaming', which was kind of the whole point of the segment - to do CMs under rollercoaster-induced rush.

[yuzuriha]

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know where I could find the liner notes for H!P discography?  Especially now that I buy almost all my singles digitally, I am curious as heck as to who does backing vocals on what.

[MejraThea]

Yuzu, the H!P Wiki has them listed on some, but otherwise I think they are usually listed in the lyrics booklet, yes? So any of the ones that I have that you want to know I can take a look.

[yuzuriha]

Yeah, it is usually listed in the lyric booklet and I used to check them out all the time before I switched to almost all digital.  I may be hitting you up randomly to check for me since it is usually a case by case basis that I get curious.

[MejraThea]

The one that I can recall without looking is 13 Colorful Character, all the backing vocals are either Riho or Chino.

[Zoe]

The Japanese Wikipedia has most of the chorus credits if you can read Japanese. Nobody ever added the credits for the last single or album though.
