Oh I liked how plaid makes me think of their first major single, while blue reminds me of their recent singles. Although I think it would be cooler with their own colors instead of that blue (not that they really need color coding at this stage and having only five members).

I was excited for this play after how big LILIUM was, and I can't say I still am not—just not as much. I don't like the costumes, not that it's their fault but still... On the other hand, that video of the rehearsal made me look forward to the songs. The one playing around the end sounded catchy! Al...

I love the name of the song but Ogawa Mana is still the front girl of the anime so I'm really curious about the result. They are probably trying to get the wotas to notice the anime exists...

I think they transformed a potentially different tracklist for FANKORA into what they have put with or without the fans' votes.

Mori Saki can? It would be great, I love her! I just thought she was older than 17 for some reason. Anyway, it's almost certain that an Egg will get in, the only doubt I have is that Tsunku never does what you expect.

Poor Kanon, Pflaume! It would be better if Yuuka lost her mole. But nice point, I didn't know weither, although I did watch her PV on Youtube. And isn't 50k a bit too much?

First thing I thought when I heard this song was: wow, it's really Morning Musume, and then about Tsunku's restaurant. Finally, that this could be their real comeback to upbeat songs. I had no idea he was up to a streak of food songs. Anyway, after listening another time I thought, and still do, tha...

Airi's photobook wanibooks limited version cover is cute! I hope the photos inside have the same quality... But this time I'm all for the regular one.

So, here is a very LQ preview . It's hard to listen but it is still a song and I've never heard it before. I think this is the b-side because it'd better be very amazing in HQ to be the A-side... or Reina's anime new theme, unrelated to the 44th single. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoti...

That hair made me think how her nose is sticking out. But I agree with Haru, it's incredible they are using Nozomi in the video!



By the way, did anyone notice a Yuuka monologue? I went: "no, don't go there!"

I think I'm gonna have nightmares with Makoto's head now... By the way, I hate those lens that make eyes so scary ready to devour you weird wide. And I think Ai is wearing them there.

Yeah, I also thought Buono! had a chance to continue especially after Tsunku started doing things for them and the trio started acting more seriously, having tours and all.

Koharu has gone to one of Buono!'s concerts and took a photo with them. I'm just reporting this because I felt said seeing two semidead acts together...

That cover is awesome! Makes me think of Japanese idols in 80's, 90's... And it's interesting how the site links you to an AKB pb that has a similar cover.

Was this anywhere here already? Just read on H!O that Mano is to get her own figure. Source(?)

Yeah, they usually go with the first or the last night I think. I want SI*NA's, it's not asking for too much, huh? I wonder if the DVD will come with extras... And which. Oh, make it a good DVD...!

Good to see everyone's reaction was the same as mine. But wasn't this the first time she actually announced she won't be doing anything? Before she'd say she was in studio, writing songs etc.



But I'm sad, I was counting on some magical announcement of a tour for when I go to Japan this year.

Wait, Seiko did that to someone? Whom?? About Ayumi, I wish she'd pair up with Tsunku... But I'm cheering for her! It is a good way to make people pay attention again, her songs have been so-so lately. The last single I remember was Rule and it wasn't even because of the song quality or catchiness b...

Well, she is quite different from even a year ago... But that is a very funny story! And wow, BoA has been dressing so well lately, I still have the image in my mind from when she did the video for Valenti.

Just read the translations on H!O... So sad! And reading Kanon's post made me think of the shuffles... Linlin was so Shin Minimoni, she was the perfect Mika with some Yaguchi aura. That makes me wonder if the revival group is dead once again. I knwo there were the others but Linlin will be harder to...
