Re: The 'What ifs' of Hello!Project

I don't think LinLin would have gotten a chance to shine unless Reina or Ai had left before her. I can see her carrying the weight of vocals with Risa. So if LinLin had been in longer and somehow outlasted either Ai or Reina, then she would have been able to do more. JunJun would have probably still...

Yeah, I think the Sakura hate is trolling at best. I can't really imagine many people outside of the main fandom finding anything wrong with her looks.

I knew Sou Janai sounded familiar. The chorus is basically Berryz' "Dakishimete Dakishimete" chorus. I swear I'm not on a hate campaign with this single. I know I'll love Mukidashite. Its just that these other two filler songs are so underwhelming that I almost refuse to accept them as par...

Re: [2016.11.23] Morning Musume '16 - Sexy Cat no Enzetsu / Mukidashi de Mukiatte / Sou Janai

A huge frustration for me, and why I feel it's necessary to bring ANGERME up so often, is that ANGERME looks like they're legitimately having fun. And a lot of it, at that. I get very strong impressions from each member of ANGERME and their places in the group: Ayaka is the only original member of t...

I like it mainly because it's the most structurally and sonically coherent thing they've released in a good while that is also simultaneously enjoyable to listen to. Kind of a feat, all things considered.

Re: [2016.10.19] Angerme - Ai no Tame Kyou made Shinkashite Kita Ningen, Ai no Tame Subete Taikashita Ningen/Umaku Ienai/Wasurete Ageru

I feel like ANGERME'a energy and charisma is undeniable, though. My initial reaction to Ai no Tame was to obviously find the song forgettable, but the girls are so damn fun to watch that I hardly cared. Ayaka, despite being the oldest member, really looks like she belongs there. She hasn't started d...

I'm with you JPope. I so desperately want to like this, but it falls under the "meh" category with a lot of their other late-career releases. Something about Buono has always been incredibly special. From the songs, the arrangements, the style, and the girls themselves. There was effort pu...

Dream Road is definitely (and surprisingly) in tune with current western pop music trends, which is rather surprising since its H!P.

I'm not sure what ya'll are complaining about. The video was fine. I don't know where the western fandom's high bar comes from, because it's a decently shot and edited video in comparison to others that were accommpanied by arguably better songs. The budget, like just about everything in H!P, was pr...

I'm with Anderei.

Their last single came out when I graduated from NAVY boot camp: HALF...

Karin looks like the type of girl that would throw a crying fit if she isn't the center of a song.   I'm also getting a little sick of their formula. Akari and Yuka have proven on many occasions that they're just as capable as the other girls. Those two are also much more visually appealing to look ...

I REALLY want to go to Phoenix or Denver to see them (both are just a short road trip away from me), but that would mean having to see Lady Gaga. :facepalm:
 
Even BABYMETAL couldn't get me to go to one of her shows.
