Everybody knows it’s a dangerous thing to bring wota around idols, but just imagine how those penguins must feel with all those Berryz creepers around, yelling crazy things.

Someone call PETA (or whoever deals with stuff like that!) The only thing worse than submitting these little guys to hysteric wota is making them listen to Dschinghis Khan, which also happened.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the translation I got from Nifty, an online translator, called them “two jackass penguins.” When will these penguins ever get a break?! Nowadays, the politically correct term is African Penguin or Black-Footed Penguin. Don’t believe me? Look it up.

Today, Berryz Koubou participated in the Sunshine City 30th anniversary event. Berryz’s excuse to be there was apparently that Dschinghis Khan was originally a big hit the same year that Sunshine City opened, 1978. However a trip to wikipedia says that the single wasn’t recorded and released until 1979. I’m calling shenanigans!

Those old dudes are called the Oyaji Dancers and I guess they did some crazy dance to add to the insanity of the show. There was also a cake made to look like Sunshine City that was over 1 meter tall. Pictures below, as usual.

Lately, Pabo has been tagging along with Shuuchishin, trying to ride on the coattails of the boy group’s newfound success. Yeah, I know they’re all from the same show, but whatever.

Last night was Quiz Hexagon II night at the Tokyo Yakult Swallows baseball game against the Giants. Pabo performed Koi no Hexagon and Shuuchishin performed their #1 single, Shuuchishin. The boys then participated in a challenge to see who could throw the fastest pitch.

I guess I’m just happy for Pabo getting more exposure even if they are clinging to the success of others. Maybe Pabo and Shuuchishin can release their second singles (if they decide to do so) on the same day. It would be interesting to see how well they sell. Below are photos from the event.

Satoda Campbell

Satoda Mai recently underwent a high fashion makeover in the most recent issue of Josei Seven magazine. By high fashion makeover, I mean she was attacked by those Corioliss hair straightener gypsies at the mall. (Sorry, that was the best video I could find on YouTube.)

I don’t know if those gypsies are in malls everywhere, but for those of you who don’t know, they’re usually flamboyant guys (those ones who feel they only need to do up the bottom 3 buttons on their button-up shirt) who wave hair straighteners 2cm from your face when you’re at the mall. There’s this one woman who works at mine who could rival Barry White with her voice and always looks like she’s waiting for somebody to take her mugshot at any given moment. Ah, beauty!

Anyways… In this photo, Mai was made to look like supermodel Naomi Campbell, except you know, the being black part. I have to admit that the clothes Mai are wearing actually look pretty similar to those on Naomi. However, it’s a horrible thing to look like Naomi. You could get banned from British Airways if you’re not careful.

It all starts with a makeover. First she’ll just look like Naomi, then start acting all self-important like her, and pretty soon she’ll be beating her managers and staff with a jewel-encrusted cell phone. Just you guys wait. I bet that’ll be the next Friday scandal.

The recently-graduated Ayaka is now with Tristone Entertainment and her new stage name is Ayaka Nagate. Some people suggest that she changed her name because she wants to distance herself from a voice actress that already goes by Ayaka Kimura.

It looks like she really is trying to put herself out there, with a new agency and all that jazz. Good luck, Ayaka!

resonant

Edit: Download the radio rip (credit to ampedechoz)

Tomorrow, May 2, Tsunku will release an online version of him singing a demo of Morning Musume’s Resonant Blue. Although I did enjoy Sharan Q’s cover of Aruiteru, I just can’t see him singing Resonant Blue. You know this is gonna be a whiny, highly dramatized version of the song. That’s probably the case, but I’m totally gonna download it in a heartbeat.

Although this is going to be available on iTunes, I don’t know if it’ll be released worldwide or just in Japan.
