So I was just doing my homework (I should be doing it now instead of blogging!) and I noticed something I wrote a few months ago for my English class. My teacher gives us brief prompts that we have to respond to, and one of her prompts was about describing a rivalry (in our personal

Ah, it’s great not having to count results myself. Seriously why did I count by hand in 2008? Oh, right, because I wanted bloggers to post their results in their blogs. Well you guys can still do that, you know. Sorta too late now, but whatever. Anyways, here are the results! I am far too

Typical of a blogger to promise a post in a few days and then actually post it over two weeks later, right? Well, a lot of things came up etc etc, but I doubt anyone was waiting on the edge of their seats for my top five love songs anyways! Before I start, I also

A while after I ended my blog, I thought, “Oh no now I can’t do another poll for the end of the year!” Well luckily I brought it back in time!! Hooray :D So this would be considered the second annual Hello!Project end of the year poll from my blog. I wonder if I’ll be

I am completely understanding of people who get interested in music outside of Hello!Project (AKB48, KPop, technopop, etc.), but I have to ask. Why do these people have to bash H!P so much? I also moved away from being completely obsessed with H!P (to being only mildly obsessed), but I still love H!P. I don’t

Ah, love. No matter how many songs are written about love, there are never too many! There’s the happiness of falling in love, the bitterness of betrayal, the sorrow of saying goodbye; when it comes to music, all you need is love. So I’ve decided to list my top ten songs that are pretty much

This post was actually supposed to come before my previous post, but what can you do when you feel inspired to write one thing? You write it first! Anyway, I think the reasons behind why I love writing are worth talking about, just to explain why MGR died and what’s changed since then. When I first

Before I begin this post, I just want to say that if I say anything that is incorrect, I apologize in advance! I feel awkward writing about Korean music when I’ve only been interested for about half a year. I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff I don’t know, but this is my opinion based

On Kikkawa Yuu (Shanimuni Paradise) Recent scuttlebutt regarding the 9th generation of Morning Musume has raised the ire or Tsukiki.  Specifically, she is fed with the talk of H!P Egg and former Milky Way member Kikkawa Yuu joining the group.  And she is committed to settling the matter right now! Tsukiki addresses some of the most popular [...]

[Eyecandy] ‘OH!’ Screencap Spectacular! (Pink Wota) I think Vee has tapped into exactly why I love Girl’s Generation so much.  The are all freakin’ gorgeous!  The songs are cool and all.  Fun and catchy K-pop always works.  But the key is the MVs.  Watching these girls dance, gyrate and fool around is like manna from heaven! With [...]

Kazumi Urano (I’m moving to Japan…) I was so happy to see this post!  I absolutely adore CinDy.  She is such a great idol, and a great leader among all of those AKB48 Team B lolis!  Silver Rain gives a complete and well detailed bio on one of AKB’s original members, who has the sole distinction [...]

tiger fire cyber fiber diver viber ja jaa~ I think after seeing this blog everyone will now know the AKB48 Theater chant.  Now I need someone to name their blog after the other chant. (Hehe) Hakushu hosts this site, which has been going steady since November.  What got my attention was the picset post he recently did [...]

SDN48 – GIRLS POP NEXT (The Ultimate Idols) J has posted a group of photos from “Girls Pop Next”, an exhibition of up and coming pop acts in Shinagawa Tokyo.  Incidentally, it was held at the hotel I usually stay at.  Damn!  Why wasn’t I there?

Shabekuri 007 – Morning Musume & OGs subtitled Morningtime has got some eyecandy for us in the form of screencaps. I really recommend that you all download this video.

Kamei Eri – “sweet” PB Cover Released (Hello!SayuNii) Ado has the cover for Kamei Eri’s latest photobook, and he’s quite impressed with how incredible she looks.

Wota (in training) Wota (in training) is a fairly new idol blog by Yanki☆Mina. I’m guessing from the blog title that she’s relatively new to the idol world, seeing as she discovered Morning Musume in the past year or so, but I’m not sure if her AKB48 fandom started before or after her Morning Musume discovery. The [...]

On a quick note: Ayaya owns you (The Three Metalheads) Many newer Hello! Project fans do not understand the greatness that is Matsuura Aya. It pains me every time I hear a someone tell me they first heard an Aya song sung by another member of Hello! Project (ex. any of the H!P Kids singing an [...]
