This week’s snippet features the two stars of the movie “Sukeban Deka: Codename Asamiya Saki”, Matsuura Aya and Ishikawa Rika. This is a clip from the making of Sukeban Deka. It’s subbed, so it’s quite fun to follow along with. The bit I’m showing here is covers the girls and their yo-yo-ing abilities. Aya’s part is quite amusing. She’s quite the enthusiastic yo-yo-ist (what DO you call a yo-yo person? [ Read More ]
I was originally, just going to insert this little commentary with the next installment of the snippets, but I figured I’d keep the snippet free of house-keeping nonsense. XD So, I’d like to draw your attention to the new layout for the fields (as though you could possibly miss it, unless you’re reading this through a feed). There’s now a drop down menu at the top, and I’m loving this [ Read More ]
SO, this marks the 50th post for fields of maiZe and berryZ, and to commemmorate it, I’ve done up a podcast! It’s basically me just talking about my H!P fandom, my journey since I began blogging and my love for International Wota. So, if you’re interested, feel free to give it a listen! Runtime: 50:00 (Dude.. just realized it’s exactly 50 minutes XD). http://www.mediafire.com/?z9xbtbkxrmm The theme for songs on here [ Read More ]
Well, I’m a little bit delayed, but here is my response to misa’s J-music survey. I’ve got a few songs embedded in here, just in case anyone wants to give a listen to some of the artists I talk about. It’s a little bit funny (this feeling inside… err… ahem… sorry wrong language of songs XD) talking about non-H!P, but still Japanese music on here. I don’t think I’ve done [ Read More ]
Okay, so I missed my first week of Memorable Snippets last week. I think It’s pretty impressive that went 6 weeks without missing a post (even though one a few weeks I was a day late with the post). However, it’s been pretty hectic at work for me recently, with a lot of telephone interviews being scheduled for me in the evenings, so I didn’t have a lot of time [ Read More ]
Yesterday, High-King’s single ‘CC (Cinderella Complex)’ was released in Japan and thus put up on Hello!Online. I have ordered my copy, and it will soon be on its way to me, so, much like Buono!’s ‘Kiss!Kiss!Kiss!’ I don’t feel guilty doing a review (not that I really feel guilty reviewing things I don’t own…). But anyway, I haven’t spoken about this group as of yet, and so one of the [ Read More ]
I found this week’s memorable snippet moment while searching for the Hello Morning Academy English lesson episode for my Makoto post. This week features another segment from a Hello! Morning episode. The May 9, 2004 episode of Hello! Morning was a Mini Moni special, and I must say it was filled with tons of laughs. I’m not quite sure who should get the special mention here… Maybe I should have [ Read More ]
So, news is out that Ogawa Makoto is back after studying in New Zealand for 2 years, and will be making an appearance on Haromoni@! 3/4 of the gokkies are reuinted!! Where’s Konkon?! When I read that on the JPH!P forum this morning, I was so excited! This has definitely been a hectic week in my Hello! Project fandom. I still refuse to directly acknowledge what caused the initial flurry. [ Read More ]
A little while ago, I was chatting with SecondBlossoming on wotachat and he asked me if there was any other Hello! Project artist/group I would recommend outside of Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou and C-ute. When I enthusiastically said “Matsuura Aya!!!” he was genuinely surprised. Because of that, I felt that a good old Ayaya post was in order. As much as I love Miyabi of Berryz Koubou, as evidenced by [ Read More ]
So I’m back from Mexico, and I just have to say that my internet connection there SUCKED!!! How sucky was it, you ask? Well, when the PV for High King came out, it took me 1.5 hours to load it on YouTube. But yea… Let’s get back to Memorable Snippets. This week’s installment looks at one of my favourite Hello! Morning segments: Gomaki Penguin Monogatari. This series had a total [ Read More ]
