Re: How Would You Help 12th Gen?
I don't always blame a company for appealing to the lowest common denominator either. Someone has to do it. It's cute to think all companies can be the edgy, ultra-inventive type that strive to break the mold, but the reality is that they need a significant pool of money to safely do that. Some go o...

Re: How Would You Help 12th Gen?
Well, I think the main issue with the moeblob (great word btw), girl-next-door members is that that's exactly what Japan wants, and Japanese fans are where the money's at. H!P needs those fans even though they really want to branch out into the Western market, so they're stuck trying to toe the line...

Re: How Would You Help 12th Gen?
Gravure.
Frankly, I don't notice these girls at all. Miki's English is cool, and Maria has a pretty face, but they don't stand out at all other than that to me. No talent, no stage presence = gravure. For some idol companies, that's basically just releasing a photobook anyway.

Re: Any decent anime?
Dang, and I thought the previews of the live-action movie looked really good too. :( I was expecting it to be shit, but at least it looks good, I guess (which is no small feat with those freaky Titans...).

Re: This is a 2NE1 thread
Oh, cool, Minzy was the one I paid the most attention to in 2NE1, so I'm hoping this means we get to see more of her. I'll be sad if she doesn't get to keep the swagilicious style 2NE1 is known for though.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - ROUND 4
Yeah, Memory is a better song all around. Shabondama is fun, but it just can't hold a candle to Memory for me. I guess it just depends on when people joined the fandom and what song got them there, 'cause for me it's totally Shouganai even though I heard it for the first time in a while recently and...

TsugiTsugi is a jam for sure. Can't wait to see the music videos for all these! Angerme has definitely surprised me since the name change. Hell, I don't even hear Anger Me in my head when I think of their name anymore!
Murota is so awesome, and I really like Akari and Rikako as well.

Re: MARCH MUSUME MADNESS - WEST/SOUTH REGIONS ROUND 2
Whaaaat. Shouganai is the song that finally got me into MM, after years of thinking J-idols and their music was way too weird. Now I've warmed to the hyper, bubbly idol songs, but without Shouganai I wouldn't even be here, man.
Deep thoughts for cute girl pop. :P

Re: Club48 :: Where we spam 48 ways to glory!
I really liked it! The song was simple and forgettable, but pleasant in my opinion. I usually find AKB's pleasant-pop type songs to be a weird kind of simple that just sounds lazy and underproduced, but this one just sounds like the right amount of production to me. Definitely not the most interesti...

No really, I'm big on paying back favors because I don't like owing people. I'm the most forgetful person I know, so paying people back for favors saves me from having to remember a lot of them. It's ironic and a bit juvenile, but it's one of my many weird personality traits.
