I guess you can officially put me down for Uemura Akari and if anyone preps Karin, I'll do hers too.

[quote="taylor"] @Meikochi Thank you so much! When and if Zukki ever posts about the 12th gen, would you be willing to translate that one, too?   @rob I'm actually Suzuki Kanon's translator, so you don't have to do any of her posts  :thumbsup: [/quote]   I just did an old one that was on p...

well, that settles that. After watching a few videos it's obvious to see Nacchi was the center.
 
And after all these years... here's a video I'd never seen before - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNxs3lnggz0
 
Nacchi center ;)

no problem! I just did a few old Ayumi entries :)

They did do a traditional training camp... whether they filmed it or not...
 
Maybe I'm wrong about Asuka being the center, I didn't really check I just presumed that Nacchi took the center after Asuka graduated.
(Almost 20 years ago now....)

@Meikochi: You're welcome!
@rob: Yes, you have to select "drafts" and then use the search box to find all the drafts with that in the title. Like I search "mano" to get all of her posts.

Ok! Thank you!

[quote="Anderei"] Akari! She acts now! At the very least, even when gorgeous girls do make it in, I think it's rare they become center. In most groups I think that usually is reserved for the girl next door that wota usually prefer. [/quote]   That's an interesting idea.   MM Centers - Fuk...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but ALL of the drafts will appear if I click drafts from the top of all posts section right?
 
Is the filter just useless that you can't choose the girls name from under the drafts?

Yurina Kumai could EASILY be a top model too.
 
oh and I agree, Maimi is genuinely beautiful.

I would say Airi and Risako fit the role of super beautiful idols who pretty much have it all.

totally worth it!!

Well, actually.... Saturdays are busy day for me and tomorrow the wife and I are headed for Disney Sea, so there's no rush!
 
I'll be diving in on Tuesday morning (Japan time) so if you could get some for me to do by then, that would be awesome!

ok, well I'll take Erina for the time being and then I'll just start from page 47 of the drafts and work backwards?
 
-------
 
but Erina isn't being prepped, so I'll just work through the backlog.

I agree, which is why it throws up the danger signs of Kanon and Ayake leaving, they've worked so hard to get the name S/mileage out there, just to change it now?

Looking at the spreadsheet it seems Karin, Uemura Akari, Ikuta Erina are free?
 
I'll take any of those and seeing as though I have mornings FREE from now on, I can start working through the backlog?

yeh, well that's exactly what I'm saying, the name change is all about the fact that they can't / couldn't let go of the past.
 
(my previous comment was tongue in cheek btw, I know the old s/mileage are never coming back ;) )

[quote="Anderei"] As if they really have any say in the name of the group. [/quote]   Wasn't tsunku quoted as not knowing anything about it?   I've always felt that the girls in H!P have a lot more control in things like most other idol groups. Sayumi often talks about attending meetings w...

I remember when auditions used to be TV specials... now we don't even get any footage on youtube.... ah well, looking forward to the announcement!

I think the name change screams that Kanon and Ayaka want to leave but don't want a "S/mileage" to exist without them in it.
 
I think Kanon and Ayaka will be gone this time next year.
 
H!P to announce Saki and Yuuka to return and join Kanon and Ayaka as a new 4 piece???? 

hey everyone... long time no see!!
 
Well, after what seems like a forever of being too busy to believe, I actually have free time again!!
 
Is the google doc up to date regarding who is translating what?
 
(I'm assuming it's ok for me to come back to translate again!)

Kohaku is all about bignames, hype, and ratings　ＭＯＮＥＹ. It has nothing to do with talent.

ftfy.

or you can just do it both ways....

Are you sure it's not supposed to be like that?

[quote="Al Kusanagi"] Because HP stuff is on a very tight schedule. They most likely don't own the shooting locations and have them booked for a limited amount of time. Most shooting for their PVs is done in a single day. The jacket and promotional photo shoots for the singles are even don...

ahhhh Koharu getting burned on live TV.
 
Sweet Sweet Revenge

He dotes over his kids, takes photos of them wearing cute clothes on the stage at shows and has those photos as his desktop of his computer.

So I went to get my copy today.... empty shelf...
 
I asked the lady at the counter and she said that it was "sold out and more copies should be coming this week"

Bullshit... don't call an audition if you don't intend to add anyone.
 
And they made CUCA cry her eyes out for NOTHING.

.... S/mileage...
