I'm not particularly shocked to hear this, but I'm very sad. It makes me happy to hear that she wants to go into the social services. She's got a great heart.
 
Bye, Zukki!

Kikkawa You is going to be in a sentai parody show, Kanpai Senshi After V. She'll be the pink ranger in a group that unwinds up in a bar after fighting evil during the day.

My apologies if this is old news, but I don't recall anyone mentioning it before, and the search didn't find anything.   Back in June, Kikkawa Yuu collaborated with Kimaguren to form the special unit Kikkaren. Their CM song for Glico, "Cafe Ole no Uta," is cute and has its own MV:  http://...

Slight update, there's another promotional video up for "Revise the world," though it's still only half the song: http://youtu.be/5TFs-5Wh8hM



Also, her website got a slight update. There's actually pages now! (Instead of it just being one massive page.)

Anyone remember Masuda Ayami? http://i47.tinypic.com/29zww4.jpg In case you don't remember or weren't into Morning Musume then, she auditioned for 8th gen, made it all the way to the training camp, and then mysteriously dropped out before the final performances.

[quote name='Anderei' timestamp='1349115232' post='134941'] Sort of, maybe. But they also get skewed because some fans will rewatch over and over again to make the count go up. Which is probably why Ayumi has the highest count of all those interviews. [/quote] Another thing that might have been affe...

I just discovered this song the other day, and it's been in my head ever since. Such a good song!

Aww, I got teary-eyed hearing her say that she was happy to receive the gift! Thank you again to TnB and PQ for all of your hard work!

That looks amazing! Wow, you put so much hard work into it. Thank you so much!



Kanon's going to be thrilled!

I'd be interested in contributing to this, too. I've been routing for this girl since the 9th gen auditions and seeing her without her usual enthusiasm lately has been so sad to see. I really hope we can make her happy.



Gotta keep an eye open for things she might like from Hawaii. :P

Maybe it's just me, but I was a little underwhelmed by their vocals. That's not to say that I don't think they're talented, because they are (I especially like the voice of the girl on the left in the live performances), but if they're going to compare themselves to Big Mama (who relayed the same me...

I was hoping there would be at least one strong vocalist who could take the place of Ai when she leaves, but I don't really like any of their voices. Aside from that, I kind of want Kanon to join. She's not particularly great at dancing, but at least her singing voice is lower. Also, she's got this ...

Watched the live performance and I could hear them singing live, though there were parts I wasn't sure such as the "I can't breathe" parts and everything from the rap until the end. Speaking of which, I didn't like the ending that much. It was jarring and unnecessary, IMHO.

I don't know if anyone else here likes them, but SM's 5-member boy group SHINee just released a new song, Hello, with their repackaged album. Link to MV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skZxb5sBoiU The song is a throwback to their roots, with an R&B sound similar to their debut track " Noona...

I first got into Kpop around 1999 and so I'm familiar with and liked many of the artists you listed. I was actually surprised to see Morning and Shinvi on your list, as I often felt like I was one of the only people who liked those two groups. Around 2003 or so I fell out of Kpop a bit. If I recall,...

The MV for "Can't Nobody" is out now.



Minzy's the coolest 16 year old I've ever seen. I love all her solo outfits! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dance:' />
