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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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! [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Seeing as I’m currently on vacation in Mexico and I don’t have access to my video files, I pre-uploaded this week’s clip since I didn’t want to miss a week.
This is an old clip, I’m not even quite sure what year. Morning Musume had this segment called “Musix Fight!” where two members would go up [...]
