So, this is just a quick little update with an adorable little video clip from C-ute’s summer concert DVD. I was chatting on #wotachat today, while browsing through the concert, when I suddenly realized … “HEY!! Why are there Japanese subtitles on screen..? o_O … WAIT A MINUTE!! ARE THEY TALKING ENGLISH?!? … YES THEY [...]

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!!!! [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The tracklist to C-ute’s 5th single ‘Namida no Iro’ was announced a few days ago, and I must say that I was very surprised to see that their b-side will have the same title as the b-side on Berryz Koubou’s most recent release, ‘Dschinghis Khan’.
I guess I shouldn’t have been, what with the b-side on [...]

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 [...]

I’m still working on my final installment of my Morning Musume singles ranking, but in the interim, I thought I’d join the ranks of blogs posting their results from the poll on Hello!Blog.
First up, C-ute!
Not much has changed since my last C-ute member ranking, except Erika is no longer at the bottom of my list. [...]
