Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~

Question: I've repeatedly noticed that when a group releases a new album, the album photos only include the then-current members of the group despite the fact that recently graduated members all sing on the album. E.g. Country Girls' final album only had four members on the cover even though the son...

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~

Re-watching Kaga's graduation concert from last December, I was again struck by how harsh the lighting has gotten in Budokan for these concerts, which casts the girls in a gray, sickly pallor. (Same with Chisaki's graduation.) What happened is they changed the whole stage set-up by making the stage ...

Re: The Official H!P Question Thread

I’ve become obsessed with Tsubaki Factory’s PV for “Machigai Ja Nai Naitari Shinai,” the first Single-V I’ve bought in years. I love the audio engineering of the song, the look of the girls, the choreography, the lighting, the hair, the makeup, etc. My question is about the beautiful costumes for it...

Re: Yamagishi Riko and Kishimoto Yumeno are graduating Tsubaki Factory/H!P in fall 2023

Sad news. I was dreading announcements like this. For the longest time, Tsubaki's membership was left intact, but then Risa left last year and now the other shoes are dropping. I love Risa's solo album and I hope Yumeno releases one like it, too.

I don't think I ever posted about it here, but I love Risa Ogata's solo album: Bon Voyage! Risa Covers.
It came out in 2021, but I didn't find out about it until this past fall and bought it in November.

Questions about Angerme:

Who's gonna be the new leader once Take-chan graduates? Moe or Rikako?

Will Angerme be the first H!P group since MM to survive the departure of its entire first two gens?
