Memorable Snippets: Part 11 - Morning Musume & Westlife “East Meets West”

So, it’s been quite some time since the last installment of the snippets, but last night I was going through some old H!P DVDs in search of some Miki things for CatchFiveBats of Obnoxious Wota, I stumbled upon this wonderful old clip that I just had to share.
This interview is obviously from around the time [...]

AYA The Witch - Matsuura Aya 2008 Haru Concert Tour Review

Aya’s concert Spring Concert was released this week on DVD in Japan, and holy geez, is it ever smoking!! Watching this concert has revived my love for Aya! Not that I stopped loving her, but my fascination for the H!P Kids kept me so occupied that I didn’t take the time to go check out [...]

Memorable Snippets: Part 10 - Yaguchi Mari “Lower My Freakin’ Mic!!”

So, Mari doesn’t actually say this, seeing as she’s in mid performance, but I could imagine that was what was running through her head as Morning Musume did this joint performance with Pink Lady.
I actually don’t have any idea where I downloaded this performance from. I just saw it sitting on my desktop, and since [...]

Hare Ame Nochi Suki - Berryz Koubou & Inaba Atsuko: OMGWTF *dies*

I got home from work today and signed on to MSN. There, Charmy Renai of Shiny Days sent me a youtube link, and I loaded it up just thinking it would be some random funny clip featuring either Atsuko, Maasa or Miyabi.
Imagine my suprise when I see Berryz Koubou AND Atsuko lined up, and hear [...]

Memorable Snippets: Part 9 - Tanpopo 2nd Generation “The Dangers of Special Effects”

So, before I get into this installment of memorable snippets, I just want to mention that this feature will no longer be a weekly thing. I’d rather not have this turn into a chore for me, as I try and find something to post every week, and instead just post things when they come to [...]

Memorable Snippets: Part 8 - Matsuura Aya and Ishikawa Rika “Yo-Yo Experts”

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 [...]

J-Music Tastes - Cutie Party Survey Response

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 [...]

Memorable Snippets: Part 6 - Todd Mika & Kago Ai “Sonna banana!”

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. [...]
