I'm not sure how to categorize this, but

the 10th Shugo Chara! manga will include a DVD of the musical. It's just the limited edition press of the 10th volume, so if you really want a copy of the DVD, go and pre-order it.

After two years of emo-Musume ( Peppaa Keibu doesn't count, it was a cover) it seems Tsunku went back to Weird-and-WTF Musume. A preview was released on radio, and the rip's here . My first thought was that it sounded too similar to ALI PROJECT's opening themes for Rozen Maiden , which thematically ...

So, this actually showed up at a JPH!P thread, , but I'm sure that those of you who are much more well versed in French than I am could confirm it on Chibi Japan Expo's official website . So, european MM-BBSers: happy? Well, at least somewhat? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO...

They had two on the 15th, and there are actually nine of them running this week . And they're not the lottery-style tickets where you only have a chance to get into the big event. They're like the ones we had at AX where buying the CD (on the spot) guaranteed you a handshake, and this is why we have...

Noto Arisa is graduating from H!P Eggs to Up Front Eggs on September 23rd, and Sawada Yuri is graduating to focus on her studies on August 30th. There's a lot of graduations this year. First there was SI*NA, and then Kaede from The Possible (but okay, they're part of TNX so she doesn't really count)...

The 40th Commemorative Edition is up over at H!O.



It's not anything bad, but it's just incredibly boring. The only line that really stands out is Risa's, towards the end.

Here's the listing for the PVs DVD, straight from the official homepage. 1. Resonant Blue 2. Pepper Keibu 3. Naichau Kamo 4. Shouganai Yume Oibito 5. Nanchatte Ren'ai (Bonus Clips 1) 1. Resonant Blue (Night Scene Ver.) 2. Pepper Keibu (Close-up Ver.) 3. Naichau Kamo (Dance Shot Ver.) 4. Shouganai Yu...

Aki Urara: When I first saw the title, I thought, Nakazawa Yuko? I think she has a song with Urara in the title or something like that. Or it'd be something slow like COSMOS (because the kanji for it is Aki Sakura...) Then I actually heard the song and it basically knocked me over. It's so old schoo...

I totally blame strawberryjam for converting me becoming an Eri fan (because I gave up following them after Miki left, and then Berryz and C-ute got boring...). She's a very lively and energetic performer - Risa may up the crowd, and Ai may impress the crowd, but Eri's the one who's totally on her f...

If they put instrumentals to b-sides, then the single would become a double-A side instead <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' /> Anyway, the concept of the single is quite silly in this age, since they've been using these ...

Fwah? Well, they do have that Korean member who doesn't seem to be anything now... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' /> It'll be a loss for C-ute, since Erika stood out in the Maimi-and-Airi show. She had one of the funn...

[quote name='EmEl' post='66438' date='Jul 15 2009, 12:37 PM']Extreme wota are a jealous and deluded lot. I think that's like asking why someone would be upset if their wife went abroad to meet another guy. What I heard is that some of the Japanese wota were upset because of the close access the Expo...

alright, since Madara's been pushing me to 'write an account of my experiences', I may as well join the party. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> First off, MANY THANKS TO SADUDE AND PQ. I was the little kid hanging around th...

I'm a sucker for Eri, and I too have to admit I don't like her style this time round. She's had it for quite some time, probably since Naichau Kamo or so. I heard from a Risa fan (who went to the concerts in May) that she'd gotten stick-thin around the final concert. She didn't look as bad as Madara...

Maeda Yuki is releasing an ALBUM, finally!



The source is over at HMV Japan.



Er, does anyone still follow her? (I don't, actually.)

Can I create a new topic for this? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/puppyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' /> Anyway, UFA's official version of the competition song is out (and the contest is over, by the way). It's over at Dohhh Up! , although you can al...

Part of this comes from the Japanese Wikipedia, but I do remember Takahashi being a fan of Final Fantasy (specifically, FF:VI, FF:IX, FF:X & Tactics). She's got a PS2, a N64, a Gamecube, the Wii, the DS Lite, and the PSP, so I'm pretty sure she's got a lot of other games underneath her belt as w...

Just goes to show these newspapers (if they could be called newspapers) don't do a good job of checking their sources. The fansite has the URL www.helloproject.tw, while the official one has a .com.tw. It's confusing, but seriously, this site has been running for years.

Awesome photo of Junjun. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' /> Anyway, to answer your question, Madara - I'm not even entirely sure myself. True, Koharu has an entirely different identity as Kirari, but now that that anime's com...

The PV's up on Dohhh Up , and I'm including a youtube link for redundancy and in case your connection doesn't like Dohhh Up! or whatever. It's also my first listen to it, and man, is it... boring. It does look like that line distribution appears to be... fairer, what with giving Mai the start to the...
