HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! I hope you all rang in the new year with friends and/or family and had a grand old time (alcohol or no alcohol. ^_^)!
To celebrate the new year, I thought I’d post the 2004 Hello! Morning New Years skit. I actually hadn’t watched this one in quite some time, and I’m [...]

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!!!! [...]

I’ve been looking for a particular episode of Utaban, but I haven’t been able to find it. However, during my search, I found some old subbed episodes with Morning Musume. 2 of these episodes contain an evil ballon game. I had seen part of the original game, back when Morning Musume was at the 4th [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’m so happy!! My first batch of official UFA photos came in!! Mind you, these aren’t my first official UFA photos - those came with my Miya and Chisa scarves… but I made those purchases for the scarves, not the photos. These photos were simply for the photos. Now that my random tangent is [...]

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. [...]

So, before I begin my review of Morning Musume and Biyuden’s musical, Ribbon no Kishi, just a few words on my new layout. First off, well, it’s new! (Kinda obvious, I realize…) My reason: As I mentioned in my review of Buono!’s new Renai Rider PV, Miyabi has such stunning eyes, and I just love [...]

Here’s my Morning Musume section of member ranking. I have to admit that I haven’t been following MM as closely as I used to. Particularly because most of my favourite members have graduated and I haven’t taken the time to familiarize myself with the new members.
So, rankings of the current line-up:
1. Takahashi AiShe is absolutely [...]
