May 1 2009one Commented

Categorized Under: Featured, Hello! Project, Review

I’ve been a bad, lazy blogger recently, which has put my concert review on the backburner. I originally watched this concert on April 15th, and I’m just posting this review today, May 1st. -_-; As with my usual concert reviews, I’ve gone over every song – some with more detailed thoughts than others. Also, as [...]

Categorized Under: Featured, Hello! Project, Review

Matsuura Aya’s last album as a Hello! Project artist was released on January 21, 2009. My copy arrived today (or rather yesterday now, since it’s past midnight) and I happily opened up the album (which I had already listened to) to browse through the beautiful lyrics booklet. I have to say that the photos [...]

I don’t quite know where this photo is from, but I found it on the H!O picboard! <3
I’ve been a little bit slow on my reviewing of new singles and/or albums that have struck my [...]

Wonderful Hearts 2008 Summer Concert Review

November 5 20082 Commented

Categorized Under: Hello! Project, Review

About two weeks ago, the Wonderful Hearts 2008 Summer Concert was released, and I must say I had been looking forward to seeing this concert ever since I saw the setlist back in July. First off – Buono!’s new single (which I obviously hadn’t heard yet) was on the list, and secondly, KIOKU NO MEIRO!!!! [...]

AYA The Witch – Matsuura Aya 2008 Haru Concert Tour Review

Categorized Under: Hello! Project, 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 [...]

An Earnest Competition Keeps Buono! #1

Categorized Under: Hello! Project, Review

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 [...]

The Berryz Koubou & °C-ute Nakayoshi Battle Concert Tour 2008 Haru ~Berryz Kamen vs. Cutie Ranger~ concert was released this week, and in the midst of doing this review, I have watched some of these performances between 6-10 times… Mainly because I keep getting distracted by the insane antics of people in wotachat, that I’d [...]

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

June 30 20082 Commented

Categorized Under: Hello! Project, Memorable Snippets, Review

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 [...]

High-King, to You I Pledge My Fealty

Categorized Under: Hello! Project, Non-Japanese, Review

Yesterday, High-King’s single ‘CC (Cinderella Complex)’ was released in Japan and thus put up on Hello!Online. I have ordered my copy, and it will soon be on its way to me, so, much like Buono!’s ‘Kiss!Kiss!Kiss!’ I don’t feel guilty doing a review (not that I really feel guilty reviewing things I don’t own…).

But anyway, [...]
