[Fan Sites] Hello!Online Translates Interview on Pepper Keibu and Stuff

Morning Musume’s “Pepper Keibu” interview

I’m a bit meh on the idea of the Musumes doing covers, but they seem to be quite into it so what so I know? Then it gets random with some others questions, as usual there’s the occasional bizarre or hilarious answer among the surprisingly mundane. And I continue to fall for Shige. Hopeless!

[Blogs] Kyttyee Starts New Groupdub Project

Bon Kyu! Bon Kyu! BOMB Concert Groupdub Pt1

I have to admit I wasn’t sure if I should be encouraging these things before. So, when I say I’m happy they’re getting better, it’s for them and for me. I say that partly because it’s true and partly because it’s a hard sell. But I think this is reaching a level now that was only getting hinted at before and can only get better if they stick with it. So check it out.

This vid has an obvious technical problem in the sound, but the performance is great. Any pitch problems are comparable to an average MM live show, which might be an insult coming from some people, but it’s really pretty entertaining. The timing and the energy are good; I really like this pick for first song. Timing in particular is my biggest peeve with these. It’s just about perfect, and everybody’s having fun. Rest is details.

Featured in the group are Kyttyee herself and Pink Wota’s Vee.

[News] Goto Maki’s Return to the Stage

Goto Maki is back on stage A-Nation 2008

Hello!Online has a bootleg of Gocchin’s brief appearance at A-Nation. She performed a cover of Diane King’s “Shy Guy”, a minor 90s R&B hit, and a song of her own. I think she sounds a little nervous and forgets her recent vocal re-training already, so I’d like to her the studio version of her song before deciding on that. But I like her choice of cover. I think this shows she will be keeping people guessing and she can make it at Avex. But…Recommended for your own rabid over-analysis!

[News] Stuck In A Pagoda and the New Scandal CD

“Yah! Yah! Yah!”, Indeed.

Great news for Scandal fans!  According to CJ, a full length CD is scheduled for release August 8th.  CJ has a screenshot of the cover, which is eerily reminiscent of the Beatles’ last work.  This one definitely makes it onto my want list.  And I’m sure the same can be said for a few other folks around here as well!

As long as they are emulating Beatle album covers, why not reprise the one from John Lennon’s “Two Virgins” album?  Now that I would like to see!

[Blogs] Kyttyee Covers Koi no Jubaku

Koi no Jubaku

Kyttyee has done a few covers now, but this one gets a little more ambitious as she syncs herself up with the video and it’s pretty well done. Singing-wise there’s a few off spots, which she cops to, but I’m not gonna critique her singing. It’s just fun. And if you’ve ever wanted to debate how much the appeal of Berryz is their individual voices vs the visual, you couldn’t find a better way.

Apparently, Kyttee’s boyfriend can’t even tell the difference. (I got the impression K was her boyfriend. Or the impression I was supposed to get that impression. Now the opposite. Whichever.)
