Sgt. Pepper’s Wonderful Hearts Club Band

It’s good to see Magi-Kat up and blogging again! In this post she mostly talks about Pepper Keibu. I still feel like I’m getting fucked over here with UFA not giving us an original single next, but Magi-Kat on the other hand is sure it’s going to be good, providing some convincing reasons why. Well, convincing to everyone else but me!

She also promises a cookie to the first who manages to decode the meaning of that post title. Oh, but whoops, I already did! You snooze, you lose. Now back away from the cookie!

Comebacks coming back

Comebacks seem to be all around Magi-Kat. And well, when in Rome, Magi-Kat returns to blogging.

On that note of comebacks, Magi-Kat talks about the comebacks of Goto Maki, Tsuji Nozomi, Ogawa Makoto and Iida Kaori. Magi-Kat’s enthusiasm apparently has not left during the hiatus and is on display here, especially towards Makoto.

Throughout the entry, Magi-Kat talks about blogging. I’ve gone on prolonged hiatuses and nearly quitting blogging as well; thus, I find it nice to see someone who also goes through this and decides to keep it up. Magi-Kat talks about being a perfectionist. I think it is tough to be a perfectionist when it comes to blogging, if not impossible.

Every entry is not going to be a hit. There will be some subpar entries - even ones that you thought would be good - and I feel that being able to roll along with that fact is important. That’s not to say that one shouldn’t want recognition or praise. I guess I just want to suggest to continue blogging and forcing readers to take notice instead of getting downtrodden and ready to walk away.

v-u-den disbanded over the weekend. There were lots of reactions and I apologize that they are so late on reaching IW. Some bloggers took it as an opportunity to revisit what they loved about the group; while others expressed frustration over the breakup. Most people showed concern about what the future holds for Miyoshi Erika and Okada Yui. Meanwhile, nearly everyone - some begrudgingly - are of the belief that Rika’s career will not be affected too dramatically by v-u-den breaking up.
