Re: Nazotte Oboeru Otona no Kanji Renshuu

Great idea for a topic, I love Japanese learning games but it's great to have a review so you don't have to blindly spend 45 dollars on something. I play Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun. It groups the kanji by grade level, so the first grades are easy, but as you go up there are more and more kanji per ...

Re: Strange TV show

The Bakajo test is probably the funniest MM related thing I have ever seen. It is literally fall-off-your-chair hilarious seeing some of the answers.



It also had me calling my phone "telepudding" for years. 8o

Re: Kago has No Hesitation!

Ahh, no matter how much I hate how Kago has acted these past years I still love her voice. I am a major sucker for high pitched voices (other faves include Reina, Kanon, Yuuka, Irori, etc... Though I never cared for Eri oddly enough). She is a little strained/squaky here and there but overall it sou...

Not too bad, judging from the preview. Too bad I don't have any extra money right now to purchase it... Hopefully it isn't a limited time thing, because I would like to buy it, just not at the moment.

Re: Preview - Seishun Bus Guide

Cool tune and feel to the song, but the vocals aren't good. They sound fine with heavy bg vocals or in unison - the chorus is good. But the solo lines are not so good. Risako tries to sing with flair and it just sounds terrible. Really, I think Miyabi and (usually) Momoko are the only Berryz girls w...

Re: Hajimete no Keiken PV

I guess I just don't get it, because even though it was upbeat, it bored me to tears. She just has no emotion or power in her voice to make me want to listen to the song.



She is super cute, she'd make a great model or maybe a tv host. I just can't get behind any of her music though.

Even if the H!O tracker didn't upload their singles, someone else would eventually rip them and post them to another tracker of some sort. Wouldn't be the end of the world for me.
