Sayashi’s a lot more of an airhead than I thought.

No, no she isn’t. Doesn’t look the least bit delighted. But that’s not what this post is about.

I made a H!P remix type thing back in early 2009 that I for one reason or another never posted here. I’m not sure if “remix” would be the right word exactly: it’s just a bunch of parts from a bunch of songs glued together. It started like all the best (and worst) ideas do: in the shower. I was humming a particular H!P song in my head and when I got to the chorus, I noticed I was by then humming an entirely different song by an entirely different group. I thought “what the hell?” and just had to try slapping them side-by-side in my audio editing software… and they did fit together beautifully. My aim was to make it flow well, meaning I worked on making the transitions nice and smooth — although that didn’t exactly always work out. But it is what it is, and that’s fine.

Rough as it may be, I’d like to share it with you guys. Click play for 8 minutes of… of… something.
(Or download it, if that’s more your thing: Henkka’s H!P Megamix)

1) First things first, the results from the latest poll are in! As you can see, it was a close tie between people half-not-giving-a-shit, crying their eyes out like the little bitches they are, or simply having a craving for that age old act of shoving your perverted nose in the crotch part of Sayu‘s underpants. In the end, the urge for the Sayupanties was too much and thus it won by a single vote. What greatly amused me wasn’t the victor though, but the fact that there were seven people who simply announced their will to die. A little bit morbid perhaps, but I like that. You have to appreciate the honesty!

As for the new poll (*points to the right side of the page*) I was too lazy to think of one so I’m letting you do the thinking for me. As you can see, you can add new answers yourself. If you suggest good ones, I’ll definitely use them for future polls whether they win or not. For now, I had to add two answers (Tsunku porn and child abuse) so it’d work but for crying out loud, don’t vote for the child abuse one! How the hell would I think up the answers for that one? I don’t know what kind of childhood experiences you had! Besides, all memories of parental abuse are funny, amirite?! In any case, give me the best (or the worst) you’ve got! I’m counting on you.

So when I moved my blog to Ray’s server, I promised one post a week which sounds reasonable enough… and last week I didn’t manage to post anything. I wasn’t feeling very creative. Everything I wrote was just shit, you know? Ah well, hopefully I won’t make it into a habit. To apologize for that, I’m just gonna skip all the review bullshit for now and instead post up a new Top 5 next. Look for it this weekend.

In the mean time though, here are the results to my perverted body part poll of October.

Unfortunately this time my vote didn’t get the win as Sakimilk ended up with a disappointing 3 votes. Junjunwomb is the clear winner here with 20% of the votes. Impressive! Looks like that sweet, sweet womb of Junjun was irresistible to most of you. Cheers also to the 5 who voted for Kagolungs. Hahaha, I’m just glad 4 people were honest enough to vote for Risakofat!

Before I give you the second batch of H!P gifs as promised, I have a fun story.

Last week I was at this Loviisa peace event thing and among other people, Rieko Seto was there. Rieko is a Japanese artist and also a 2nd generation Hiroshima survivor (her mother was a victim). I had a brief chat with her. Fun thing is, she had this idea for an art piece she was doing and she asked people to draw the outlines of their hands on paper and then write a short message of sorts. Well, I drew my hand, wrote something cheesy like “Peace from Finland! -Henkka.” But then I looked at what other people were writing and I noticed some of it was rather questionable, so I said fuck it, went to Rieko to ask if I could make an addition and wrote “Nihon no onnanoko wa kawaii!” (“Japanese girls are cute!”) When Rieko saw what I had written, she laughed and agreed, but also said that Finnish men aren’t too bad either. And yes, I did remember to apologize for not doing it in kanji, don’t worry.

Now the fun part is that this piece of artwork will actually be put up in a real art exhibition. So hey, if you happen to visit Hiroshima in October, go to Rieko’s exhibition and find my hand! I think that’s a pretty cool thought, my hand and wacky message in Hiroshima. Cool stuff. I wonder if anyone there will read my message.

In any case, now for the main event. Like last time, some of them are good, some not so good, and some are pure awesome if I may say so myself. Hope you like ‘em. Firstly, here’s ones made from the Chokkan PV close-up edition. These took ages to make. I think Reina’s is probably the most interesting to look at.
