[Blogs] Bananas for JunJun: Have they really made up? Giant panda?

So guess who was sitting beside each other again…

Johpan brings us the next batch of JunJun goodies, and the second photo needs to be in good resolution. Is that JunJun holding a big cuddly panda??? Should I read into the ideology or should I just pass it off as a cute girl holding a cute thing? Oh, and Aika’s still made to sit by JunJun. No doubt the producers are trying to fool us into thinking they’re getting along. I choose not to believe it.

[Blogs] Raid My Minibar rating KAT-KUN’s latest

KAT-TUN - DON’T U EVER STOP

KAT-TUN’s latest single has plenty of solo songs, it would seem, and to my amusement, and clearly Raid’s, this post easily jest’s it’s way through them all. Some are admittedly good, apprently, whilst others don’t fare quite as well. A cracking line from a song is quoted by our own Raid. It goes like this:

“I could tell you want me too Many time I think of you Delicious drink can let’s produce I can taste the sweet LOVEJUICE”

Fantastic! That’s worth downloading. Surely.

[Blogs] yossha yossha YOSSHA!: Ranting about blogging, and such

A Whole Bunch Of Thoughts But Nowhere To Put Them

Well, I’ve been nice about this up until now, and now’s the time to come clean and tell you what I really think of Yoshimi. She’s the queen b**** of bloggers. No doubt. She’s a bloggin b****. I really mean that, and I also mean that in a way that turns me on. Yoshimi’s writing gets me flustered. It’s authoritive when aggressive, thoughtful between the rioting notion one gets from being pissed off half the time at her place, but fun and addictive for it. Sure, she easily insults, and I’ve shouted at my screen so many times already - thanks Yoshimi - but I’m quite simply attracted to her writing. Simple. And how many bloody times must I admit this? Others of similar candor, I have to admit, will usually get ignored, but since I see a lot of thought between much of the ‘arrhhhh’ moments in Yoshimi’s writing, I’m happy to stay on deck.

This is another post that ticks me off, completey. Again she continues to preach, which is to say that when she talks about her not caring about what others think about her blog et al, one gets the feeling deep down that she does, and also that she should remember that we all dont take blogging as seriously as she would like to think. Well, most of us. And so a lot of the time I was thinking ‘hey, who do you think you’re speaking for?’ But regardless, this entry has it’s usual bite, and she’s bored of the Intl Wota circle, guys. What can I say? Broomhead might be interested to read this, along with much of the Intl Wota crowd. This is also a nice look into Yoshimi’s character, at least as far as bloggining goes, and that’ll interest those who’ve come to like or actually hate her place. Hmmm, I dont quite no what to say. It’s certainly interesting and I liked it…if that counts for anything. I am, however, waiting for Yoshimi to finally have a dig at me. I’m sure she’s just waiting for the right time. Just read it if you’re interested. I dont want to really break it down.

Of course it has it’s audience and the writing is of typical Vee standard - pretty damn good - but ‘prince of tennis’ is certainly not something I pretend to know something about.

[News] If You Don’t Buy One Concert DVD This Year…

Our own Vee discourages you from buying Ayu’s ‘Countdown Live 2007-2008 10th Anniversary’ DVD, and there’s good reason to listen to her, apparently. I’ll take Vee’s word for it, of course, as she’s certainly well-versed when it comes to Ayu, and the case she makes is a simple but good enough one - the vocals were off. Some credit must go the the ear debacle however, which Vee mentions. It’s a good read that keeps me interested in an artist I’m not too interested in. Maybe I should just read Vee’s ayu posts over and over until I start obsessing. I’ll consider it.

[Blogs] fields of maiZe and berryZ sharing some vintage Ayaya

Memorable Snippets: Part 2 - Matsuura Aya “Ayaya Knows”

Our very own MaiZe has the next instalment of her ‘Memorable Snippets’, and it’s all to do with Ayaya this time around. The fist shared clip consists of Aya performing ‘I know’ and forgetting the lyrics near the beginning. As MaiZe points out nicely, Aya handles it with ease, and that certainly translates positively to the fans. God, she’s such a good performer. The second clip has her teaching the fans the lyrics and some silly arm movements, which is one charm part of the song I suppose. Vocally, well, Ayaya shines, and that’s not really a suprise. As far as H!P goes, she’s near, if not at the top. The clips are from 2003 and I have to thank MaiZe for taking me back to a happy place. I mean, ‘I know’ is pretty damn awesome.

[Blogs] One year for Pink Wota, and getting critical with Ongaku Gatas

[Anniversary] Today, We are One
[Article] UFW to Ongaku Gatas: “Fuck You”

Our own Vee reminds us - rightfully so - that Pink Wota is now celebrating it’s one year anniversary. I’m glad Pink Wota has been able to make a good name for itself, and I wish Vee and her slave writers -ha! - all the best for the future. Good job ^^

Firstly, to get this out of the way, a previous Pink Wota post includes a link to an old post of mine. I had to read my old post, of course, because it’s been never since I read my past works. And, well, it’s evident in the writing really, that the voice I find myself with right now is only ever porno-grade. Have I really settled that much? hmmm…Back to Vee’s post. A review of the recent happenings with Ongaku Gatas and the unit in general. What I like about the read here is that these are clearly worries that are easy to sympathise with - points that go across the board. The read isn’t as heated as the title may suggest either, as the considered writing disarms any possible flurry of swear word upon swear word. Beloved melonhead gets a reaction from Vee, and like most, it’s one of longing. Bring her back! The post is, in a nutshell, Vee pondering over the politics without getting messy with it. A good safe but thoughtful bet then. Recommended reading.

[Blogs] MorningBerryz: Jero and a Momo digital PB

Enka singer Jero!! ^-^
Hello! Project Digital Photo Book #42- Tsugunaga Momoko

MorningBerryz takes a look see at Jero, the guy you’d bet on your family’s lives wasn’t an Enka singer. But he is, and now your whole family are in for a world of pain. Seriously though, who could guess such a thing? Only in Japan could this happen with such normalcy. I mean it’s visually, and digging a little deeper, culturally off, but then it works just fine, that really, there’s nothing wrong with it in the end. Jero’s got the right voice for Enka and it’s a pleasant suprise indeed. I must admit that Jero’s attire in the first clip provided is stuck in the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ days, and that’s only ever fantastic. It’s a short post that offers up a listen more than anything else. Still, it’s a quick and easy access point for newcomers.

The previous post deals with Momo’s digital photobook which is H!P’s 42nd. MB goes through the process of digital PBs in short to give us an idea of what we’re dealing with, and then shares plenty of Momo. They’re the digitals from her first PB. Recommended for all Momo fans I’m sure.

[Blogs] Hello!Blog takes a look at ‘Friday’ magazine, and gives his opinions on Ayaya’s ‘Kizuna’

Recent Fridays
Kizuna Full PV

Paul’s latest post deals with some recent H!P articles and other H!P asides from the ‘Friday’ magazine. Paul’s recently purchased issues - some back-dating of course - have semi-reawakened a little muse for the more current scandals - Aibons - that’ve come from the magazine. None are really gone over again, as that’d be exhausting, and really, we’ve all moved past it now. Still, it’s a reminder of events gone by, and the caught off guard pictures - of a sort - have their merits. I mean, in one of them you can just about make out Reina’s pink panties. It’s not that impressive actually, but then use your imagination and it can be quite wonderful. Some talk about Rika and a fanta CM at the end, followed by the mention of Mikitty in theatre. Oh, and a few pictures from Niigaki’s PV are talked about in brief, too, and how Paul wishes he kept with his order.

A previous post talks about Ayaya’s ‘Kizuna’ song and PV, and Paul’s liking it quite a bit. Well, he’s defending her quite a bit. I think it’s safe to say he’s enjoying the effort though, and it’s interesting to note how Paul just knows this single wont sell well. I think we’d all agree on that. An interesting section at the begining of the entry about how a the right setting and/or situation can transform one’s perception of an album is certainly interesting, and there’s a whole other blog post in that. Somewhere. Oh, and Paul thinks ‘Double Rainbow’ is his favourite Ayaya album. Hmmm…

Our own Celestia shares a Momusu PV made and packaged for Disney Land. It’s meaning is lost on me, I must add. But I have to stress also, the amount of times this f****** song say’s ‘Mickey mouse’ is worthy of suicide.

They’re only getting better in single releases, and I honestly love the song and PV, too. Paul describes a song in a way I can never seem to do aswell - simple but informative with it.

Online purchasing days - HandMC - Days/Pride + BLEACH OST Vol.1
Game Sound Best (Part 1)

Millhouse goes over some recently purchased J-music CDs. They include High and Mighty color and a Bleach OST. Bar my random bursts of interest in the Bleach manga series, High and Mighty color are completely lost on me. The read, as is always the case with Millhouse, was much in the way of forgiving though. Good simple writing that opens it’s doors to all levels of fan and non-fan. Basically, I can usually enjoy them without knowing the subject material. - Beats in my head - is simply easy to read, and most importantly enjoyable with it. Right now I’ve got nothing negative to say, even though some will be looking for more here. It is what it is, and I like it so far.

An earlier post describes Millhouse’s favourite video game music, although the first pick isn’t for a video game - wuh?. The second one is though, and whilst I’m never interested in hearing about Sonic, as I loved those tubby bastard plummers with stupid moustaches, the ‘Ghost In The Shell’ choice caught my eye simply because Millhouse isn’t an anime fan, which I found hilarious in this particular situation.

The next entry describes Yoshimi’s thoughts on Ongaku Gatas, and but for a paragraph or two on how OG should direct themselves, much of it is just about praising Sengoku Minami.

The second entry of a few reveals MB’s latest CDjapan orders, and some handy info about what delays he went through and why might help other consumers in some way or another. As always, I suspect a fair few reviews to come from these purchases, but for now MB shares the PV for Berryz Koubou’s Dschinghis Khan single. It’s the “Mongolian Dance Shot Ver.” and it’s ready for download.

Next we have MB sharing the theme tune to ‘Crayon Shinchan’ by Sakurakko Club, and it’s another anime inspired post. If you like what you hear, you can request for a download.

The last in a line of entries is a profile on Mochida Maki and plenty of songs are uploaded for your listening pleasure. You just know MB loves Mochida quite a bit, as considering she had a very brief singing career, 12 songs still manage to find a place in the entry, and that’s when MB’s trying to hold back. A lively engaging post, which is usually the case when MB gets all excited with the subject. Recommended reading.

[Blogs] More Mutou Mika reactions

No One Tells Me Anything (Wings Of My Heart)
Mutou Mika to Graduate H!P (Hello!Blog)

Firstly, we have Julia’s reaction to the news that OG’s melonhead is - or has - graduated from H!P. Whilst she, like the rest of us, knew nothing about melonhead beyond the album and single releases, she’s still able to find the capacity to be upset somewhat. Julia draws upon her feelings towards Maiha and Megukami’s leaving H!P previously, and tries to connect the dots, or actually, uses this most recent situation as a way to look across the board on all three, and to think about the idea of leaving H!P in a broader sense. It’s always interesting to read Julia’s thoughts on such matters, and for nosey readers like myself, it helps build my character profiles on all of you. Ha!

Paul takes the news - or at least talks about the news - of melonhead leaving a little differently than some. In fact, a lot of the post is privy to logistics. Whilst he admits that melonhead’s departure is something of a blow for OG, and that they’ve been quiet in terms of a next single release, they’ve been busy with a tour and putting together concert DVDs. Nearer the post’s end though, Paul allows himself to pick apart the reasons behind melonhead leaving, and there’s plenty of speculation and second-guessing. It’s more in the vain of passing thoughts however, which is probably best for keeping sane, and being normal quite frankly. Recommended reading.

[Blogs] Bananas for JunJun: Jun goodness, and 1000 pageloads!

There is no shame when you’re an awesome self-promoter!
JunJun’s got a big fuzzy heart on for you
Thanks for pressing F5!!

Johpan’s latest entry briefly talks about JunJun’s products being ‘win’. Especially the scarves and the wristbands of which he posts the appropriate UFA photos of. He’d also like to buy the shirt off of her, and really, I’m taking that in the most literal sense possible. Note our own Zush giving Johpan some buying advice in the comments. ha!

The next entry has a picture of JunJun holding a fluffy heart cushion, and there are so many things I want to say and shouldn’t. In short though, I’m feeling horny. Recommended viewing.

The last in a wave of entries shows the stats of Johpan’s worship blog so far, and he’s getting a fair few hits already. Seriously, when I get the energy I’m going to go mental on this place. Good luck, Johpan.

[Blogs] Raid My Minibar: a topless Hirai Ken

Hirai Ken purchase!

It’s always nice to see Raid go gay for Hirai Ken, every time, and his latest blog post is certainly no different. After explaining a Ken DVD he’s yet to really watch and a Single that, well, is filled with handsome ken on the cover jacket, Raid screencapture’s the ‘elegy’ PV. It’s got lots of topless ken which our man in Singapore is enjoying a lot.

[Blogs] Japanese Teen Idols has Maimi pictures

Maimi Yajima +01+

Will has some Maimi Yajima photos. I’m assuming she can cook then, judging by the last picture. If that’s the case, I’m willing to consider marrying her once I make it as a rocketman. She can be the lonesome wife who has an affair with my best friend or something, since I’ll be too busy in space fighting off aliens with laser guns. What the f*** am I saying?

[Blogs] Hello!Blog on the latest CD Data Magazine

CD Data May 2008

Paul admits that he’s been neglecting both ‘CD data’ and ‘Friday’ magazines recently, but with some help from Shohei, he manages to translate the latest CD data, picking up on the articles involving C-ute’s latest single and Reina’s Tanakamesen spot. The C-ute article about their identifying with the lyrics, or infact their inability to understand the true nature of them is nice to know. I mean, at their age, I was still trying to decide whether I liked Streetfighter better than Mortal Kombat. Recommended reading.

[Blogs] Bananas for JunJun: The Jun continues

Forgive and Forget?
Have I mentioned I love headbands?

Johpan brings us a few screencaptures of the latest HM@ involving JunJun and Aika. It looks like they’re not knife fighting on camera at least, but I’d like to think they slap each other backstage. In maid outfits. greased up with syrup and marmite…Yes, you heard me correctly.

An earlier entry deals with JunJun and headbands. It’s as simple as the fact really, and oh how sexy those facts are.

Nocchi’s Box

[Blogs] Raid My Minibar and pregnant women?

Because I just need to post something random every now and then…

Just a little bit of Raid My Minibar news. Apparently, pregnant women might be diggin’ Raid’s blog quite a bit. Damn! now there’s a demographic I didn’t consider. Either way, Raid’s assosiated with the baby carriers and he’s a little puzzled, is the honest truth. Expect more Harai Ken purchases and as an asides, some classmate who calls herself ‘May’ think’s our man in Singapore is a lame-ass. I can only ever laugh with evil eyes on that one. Slap her up Raid. Back of the hand Job to the face. You know it!

Err…

[Blogs] American Wota: select your Nacchi scandal

Nacchi Is Overdue…

Our very own Ray predicts Nacchi’s next scandal, and dont feel left out if the ‘Maria Ozawa’ reference is lost on you. It’s, well, it’s only really suited for certain circles. Mind you, the idea of Nacchi stabbing someone by accident isn’t at all far fetched as far as I’m willing to bet.

Feel free to drop in your own predictions. I personally think Nacchi’s about ready to start learning to drive buses.

[Blogs] Kameipuru☆Syrup: Hello! Project Highlights

キタ――――(゜∀゜)――――!!

Ines-chan posts about her hightlights of the week, and her mentioning that Reina declared Kamei as her girlfriend if she went all bloke on us is very, very much appreciated. I cant begin to tell you all the erotic fantasies going through my head right now. The random notes section is also something of a highlight, what with the news that Koha used to slice things with blades when she was younger. What were her parents thinking? Oh, and apparently, Kamei’s cleaned her room again. I’m not joking!
