What type of H!P Fan are you?

[arcobaleno]

The only grad concert I've seen was Reina's, and I didn't feel a thing, mostly because I was never a huge Reina fan.

I don't watch them either, Ap.
 
I watch the speech segments, though for some of them I've just read the translations without video behind it. I did watch Yossi's graduation and Eri/Jun/Lin, but still haven't seen anything for Niigaki, Aika, or Reina's. I've watched part of Ai's but for some reason I can never sit down and watch the entire thing... That's been a recent thing for me though, so not sure that's her graduation's fault.
 
I  mostly just hate that they disappear and never have anything to do with the group's activities anymore. How this ties into what kind of fan I am, I don't know...

Nakazawa's the only one I can think of who has graduated and still interacts with the group, like talking with Sayu and giving advice to her and the other members.

When the Elder Club was thriving, the graduated members would regularly show up at the Winter and Summer concerts, so they were never gone or far away. That changed when they dumped the whole Elder Club in...2009? Still a stupid move, IMHO.

Rika did a birthday event with Masaki and Haruka a while ago.

^One hundred percent agreed on the mechaike statement.

Mizuki and Eripon did an FC event with her as well.

Wow, I posted that from my phone last night and thought AP's post was the last one.  Oops.
 
Anyway, my favorite specials ever are the Mechaike ones.  That's because I LOVE Okamura.
 
Also, as far as MOST devastating for me...the EriJunLin grad is the worst for me (as many of you already know).  Even though Kaori is my favorite of all time, when she graduated you could tell it was HER choice and she was ready for it.  Eri had to graduate for health reasons and then they just used it as an excuse to graduate JunJun and LinLin, who both were obviously SO not ready to leave their musume life.  I often watch Rival Survival and cry when I have PMS because I am a masochist. (Oh hey, look at that, i'm due to watch it).

He's my second-favourite chimpanzee, right after Downtown's Hamada.

Types of Hello!Project fans.

This girl, Nia M, used to have another Youtube channel.  (Or, maybe she rebuilt the original one.) 
 
I subscribed to her back then 'cause she would translate so many H!P songs.  Her translation of Dance de BaKoon! was the only one I knew of for quite a while.  She would also sing those English translations to the music.   She was the first translator I knew of.
 
Thanks.  It was good to see her again.

I was watching the Elder Club "Thank You For Your Love" again yesterday.  Yeah, it was 2009 when they were disbanded.  Sad.
 
EDIT:  Sorry for the double post.  It was a different subject matter and I forgot about the rule.   I would delete this and include it into my original post, but can't.

I definitely fall under Old Fan/AKB48 Hater. That whole video was painfully accurate and hilarious lol
