Watched Ayaya’s movie last night. I have wanted to watch it since I first heard it was coming out, but had to wait a long time (obviously) since I don’t understand Japanese well at all (only a snippet here and there) and thus had to wait for someone to sub it. Thank goodness for the Hello!Online tracker. Anyway, I enjoyed the movie immensely, though it may be because I kept [ Read More ]
Here’s my Morning Musume section of member ranking. I have to admit that I haven’t been following MM as closely as I used to. Particularly because most of my favourite members have graduated and I haven’t taken the time to familiarize myself with the new members. So, rankings of the current line-up: 1. Takahashi AiShe is absolutely fabulous. She has one of the best voices in H!P in my opinion [ Read More ]
I have gone an H!P ordering spree (more like Berryz Koubou/related spree) on yesasia and CDJapan. My first order, (which arrived yesterday!!!) was for Buono!’s “Honto no Jibun” and Berryz 4th album. I was able to get a first press limited edition of “Honto no Jibun” with the DVD. Yay for the first press trading card! I just love the energy of this song. And it doesn’t hurt that it [ Read More ]

Let’s start with Berryz Koubou…1. If you can’t tell from my layout, the #1 spot goes to Natsuyaki Miyabi! I have just gotten into Berryz fairly recently (not that I haven’t listen to their [ Read More ]
So, after watching the PV a few more times: 1. I still feel Risako looks very very tall. I think it has to do with the flowiness of her skirt. I feel like the outfits also make Yurina and Maasa look really tall (even though I know they are), but not as much as Yurina’s outfit in Very Beauty. She looked like a giant in that one. As for Risako’s [ Read More ]
The new Berryz Koubou PV has just been posted on Hello!Online and I watched it once (yes, I know I’m at work)… So here are my inital thoughts: 1. Risako looks strangely tall in this PV, particularly in the dark scenes where she’s alone. Has she grown taller (which is a possibility, seeing as she’s only 13) or are they camera tricks? Also, not the biggest fan of her hairstyle [ Read More ]
