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 [...]

Yesterday, High-King’s single ‘C\C (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, [...]

Okay… I don’t know how that Friends reference snuck in there, but I can deal with it… XD

So, on Monday, the PV for Buono!’s ‘Kiss!Kiss!Kiss’ was posted on DohhUp! And I have to say that Buono! has done it again! I absolutely adore this PV and song. However, I’m beginning to feel that I’m going [...]

They Berryz Kamen vs. Cutie Ranger concert started yesterday in Japan, and thus the setlist is now out. I got this setlist from the JPH!P forums, care of jompuan. Here’s the setlist and some thoughts I’ve had from my first glance.

The Hello! Project 2008 Winter Concert reviews have been popping up all over the place in our little blogsphere. I’m here to put my two cents into the mix.
Concert release times are my favourite time of the year in the H!P calendar. PVs and singles are all fine and dandy, but I love watching the [...]

Today marked the release of C-ute’s latest PV on Dohhh! UP. It also happens to be the birthday of the youngest Berryz Koubou member. Slap in the face to Risako, much? Just kidding, but I find it kind of funny that Berryz’s rival group released their PV today. It’s most likely just a coincidence, but [...]

First off, I don’t think I explicitly said this in my previous post, so: A big shoutout to Ray for hosting me on intlwota! Thank you so much for your help and generosity! I am ridiculously appreciative!
So, C-ute’s 3rd album came out earlier this week, and of course that meant that I [...]

Today, the package I’ve been waiting for from YesAsia finally arrived! The estimated date of arrival was originally given as this past Friday, but alas, I was not lucky enough to receive it in time for the weekend…. But it’s here now!

That’s Buono!’s Café Buono! (LE) and A&R’s Shouri no Big Wave (Photobook LE).
2 weeks [...]

I realize that I’m behind on the times, but I got a little caught up with Kawaiirrhea’s “Hello! Project no Puzzle desu yo.” on ★MINI MONI MANIA★. But I finished the puzzle and I felt very accomplished when it was done. It’s so much fun!
So, to get back to my blogging, I’m here [...]

Well, this took longer than I thought (so much going on this week), but it’s finally done!! And so without further ado, my top 14 Morning Musume singles!!
14. Sakura Manaki - Sakura GumiThe longest song of all H!P releases (excluding remixes). This song is so pretty, vocally, instrumentally and PV-ally. XD I adore [...]
