[quote="DonJuan"] The video has been deleted, but it's really hard to beat Oharu in the category for worst singer. [/quote]   Utano is honestly really close, but the main reason I don't want to give her the title as "worst H!P singer ever" is because she has zero singing experien...

[quote="TheParuProject"] Obviously she was hired for her looks and dancing ability, but it's pretty fascinating that H!P hired a girl who is COMPLETELY not made for singing. Even her speaking voice sounds choked up. Could she possibly be the worst singer H!P has ever had? [/quote]   I dunn...

[quote="Derby"] And btw is mizuki still the most popular? I don't even know anymore since there's virtually no pushes in the group currently, the same line and dance distribution in every single besides sometimes maria. I saw yuka isn't there anymore but there's a new gen, have they had an...

[quote="Saya"] Jesus Christ, 7 years???? 12th gen are like the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse bringing death to MM. The only one I like is Maria, but she can’t sing well :( [/quote]   It's so frustrating because I like the remaining 3 members, Haga and Makino especially. But their gen has ju...

Alright, with the introduction of the 2020 thread, here are 2019's predictions "winners" :)   [quote="Mukuro"] Predictions: - Rina announces graduation from angerme and therefore their outfits actually improve -Tsubaki continues to be the companies moneymaker and so they release...

O Swing live.... wow... why is this so good. Gannen is good live but O Swing is on a whoooole other level <3 Also here's We Need A Name live as well--another good performance. Utano is definitely not a singer but honestly it doesn't bother me as much as it usually does, since she still puts her all...

PS--Posting this here in case anyone wants to see how BEYOOOOONDS' members are athletically :)
 
Here's Nishida's solo acapella intro from the summer con.

[quote="Shoujo Q"] - Jumping is prohibited at all H!P/group concerts beginning today. If you get caught jumping, you will be sent out. There are a lot of signs up emphasizing this. [/quote]   Just commenting to say it seems like everyone tried to get their last jumps in at the COUNTDOWN co...

Heads up, according to their New Year press release, Morning Musume '20 is pronounced "two zero"

[quote="DonJuan"] It would be great for someone to actually beat MM's sales but I think nobody since Koharu has done it (after Ayaya ofc). [/quote]   Honestly BEYOOOOONDS was pretty close, they were only 30k away from beating MM's last single (Jinsei/Seishun). Megane/DNA/Go Waist actually ...

[quote="arcobaleno"]   They kept mentioning "idols who drink sake" or something. Because I didn't listen to the video, I'm not sure if they're talking about her or what the type of idols she said she'd like to see. I'm thinking it's her preference because they said it came off ba...

Since no one mentioned it.... Ogata Haruna was getting railed in the comments of a recent video of hers .   Basically for speaking about the show Monster Idol, answering what kind of idol group she would produce, and answering what her ideal idol type is. It got as bad as people calling her the sham...

YES same, I've been doing the same thing lol! I imagine it's easier for them to remember because of the differences in dance--might help them stay on track with the song they're doing. I'm wondering if they'll ever mess up live though lmao

They just pick the songs, I'm-----

This all seems awesome, and I'm glad it's something different for a change.... but my one complaint.... Why do Kanazawa, Danbara and Tanimoto (and Takagi and Hirai) have to share a song when everyone else gets a solo :/

[quote="JPope"] Mei seems to be kind of over-looked from what I can tell, too, with fans being more excited about the raw-but-talented Rio and Homare. I really like all of them, but of the three, Mei really stands out to me. She comes off as more confident and polished, and I can see her b...

[quote="Molly"] That was cute. I like pig tails girl. [/quote]   That's Yamazaki Mei :) She's the youngest of the gen at 14 (her and Homare are only a month apart in age), but was in the Hokkaido KSS for about 3 years. Her color is "bright" green (AKA green.) Seems she can speak ...

[quote="Saya"] ZENZEN OKIAGARERENAI sunday Best song of the year! I feel like the tiles are easier though if you speak Japanese (sorry if you do, maybe it’s just me then). I feel like these long titles are a trend that hasn’t ended yet. Remember that one super long AKB song?? [/quote]   I'...

[quote="Saya"] The lyrics are lame for me. Like the situation itself is overdone... [/quote]   Shoot, I'll take these "girl who's too conscious when it comes to love" lyrics with an amazing MV and great song (and hopefully dance?) over what MM's been spewing lately. Plus it fits ...

I like the 15th gen, I've liked pretty much every gen as it came in--but it just ends up being false hope. There's never things inherently wrong with the girls, but the management keeps the gens and the group as a whole as bland as possible. No fun, silly songs that feature a new gen, no subunits, n...

[quote="JPope"] Here are J=J n00bs Yume and Riai  singing their lines for "'Hitori de Ikiraresou' tte Sore tte Nee, Homete Iru no? (New Vocal Ver.)" 12:45 is the time-stamp in case the link doesn't take you their on the auto.   They're both pretty good! Not like Sakura or Ruru at...

MM's last 4 singles just all blend together for me.

Rankings by groups; Morning Musume top 3: 1. Sato Masaki 2. Yamazaki Mei 3. Haga Akane   bottom 3: 12. Kaga Kaede 13. Kitagawa Rio 14. Ishida Ayumi ----------------------------------------------- Angerme top 3: 1. Sasaki Rikako 2. Murota Mizuki 3. Kawamura Ayano   bottom 3: 10. Oota Haruka 11. Katsu...

I was so pleasantly surprised to find Break It Down on my Youtube feed last night.... LOVED IT. Airi has been releasing songs I like left and right...... Good for her.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the other two yet, but I tried watching the KOKORO&KARADA MV when it dropped (I happened to be on Youtube), and I exited halfway-through.... which is unheard of for me. Ick.

Nishida sang Gatamekiraat her birthday event and just totally NAILED it.
 
Also here is her Resonant Blue, Kiss Me Aishiteiru, Give Me Ai, and Konya Dake Ukaretakatta

Just popping back on this thread to let everyone know Megane no Otoko no ko has hit 1.3M views and Nippon no DNA is at 1.7M.... wow...
 
Go Waist is still at only 700k hahaha

"She drinks much less than before"
 
ok i think if you hit people with your car while drunk, just go completely sober lmao

Yessssssssssss when this showed up in my sub box I was like "might as well watch it" and like 30 seconds in I WAS HOOKED. This is a solid song, MV, dance and performance from Angerme. And of course Tsunku's lyrics and rhythm was just such a perfect match this time. The lyric "Bakako-c...

I didn't care for the MV much when I watched the teaser, but it grew on me as the song went on. The whole song itself is a weird hot mess so I appreciated the MV for following that theme lol. It would have been weird to have a standard MV with such an odd song. Seeing the comparisons just made it be...
