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 [...]

Shine More: A Matsuura Aya Worship Blog

I have started ANOTHER worship blog, and from the title of this post, it’s quite obvious that it’s dedicated to the awesomeness that is Matsuura Aya!!

It’s called Shine More and can be found at http://www.intlwota.com/shinemore. Once again, Ray has very kindly offered to host this new blog of mine, so a big thank you to [...]

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 [...]

Seriously, Where Have I Been?! o_O

It’s not secret that the recent Berikyuu episodes have been performances by various Berryz Koubou and/or C-ute members as they sing covers of songs, Uta Doki style. I knew about this before these episodes aired, and I knew when they started airing…
So how in the world has it taken me this long to see this [...]

An Earnest Competition Keeps Buono! #1

So, 2 weeks after the single’s release and creeping upon the release of the Single V, I am finally getting around to reviewing Buono!’s latest single, ‘Gachinko de Ikou!’ (translated as “Let’s Compete Earnestly!” on projecthello, thus the post title).

I must say that this single is absolutely amazing! I am currently torn trying to decide [...]

Berryz Koubou’s 5th Album Track List

Here’s just a quick update for the moment. It’s been almost a month since my last post, but most of my time has been taken up with personal/family matters (all good, just busy busy) and Miya’s birthday countdown which happened at my Miya worship blog.
But, now that Miya’s birthday has past, I should be getting [...]

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 [...]

Berryz Koubou Support Mano Erina!

This post is complimentary to broomhead’s post on TrueLifeSeek. Like C-ute, The Berryz girls are showing their support for Manoeri as she embarks on her solo career. I found this set of photos on the JPH!P forums, but Maasa’s photo wasn’t with the bunch. I’ll add Maasa’s photo once I find it.
EDIT: Maasa [...]

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 [...]
