Was Haromoni@ Ever Worth Watching? 

Heavens, there are a lot of big changes going on in the J-Pop world lately.  Like me, is anyone going through Haromoni@ withdrawals this weekend?  This is the first Sunday in a long time without a weekly Hello! Project television program.  So in honor of that here are the thoughts of my personal favorite Haromoni@ reviewer…

Broomhead theorizes how the final episode was a metaphor for the entire series.  Like most GakiKame segments, it included lots and lots of failures before any success.  Additionally he goes through each member and how the show didn’t work for their personalities.  The funny thing is as much as Broom bashed this show, it was his posts that got me into Haromoni@ in the first place.  He gives the ultimate answer to the question he has been asking us for the last 7 months.  But as much as he says the show is a travesty, failure and contributor to the regression of Morning Musume, I think deep down there is a little soft spot in Broom’s heart that will miss the show.

As sad as I am about it’s end, obviously Haromoni@ was NOT working.  Otherwise it wouldn’t have been cancelled.  I would love to see H!P come out with a new weekly series.  But for that to be a success they will really need to think about what it takes to attract people to the show, and make them care about the people in the group.
