Meh I know people disagree with it, but J=J will always be C-ute pt. 2 for me. Tsubaki symbolizes feminine Berryz imo.

I'm hoping for Ichioka, Hikaru and possibly Noguchi (out of pure favoritism). Since they decided on Maria as center, they might bring in heavier girls, so Ruru, or Kaeda might finally get their shot. Looks didn't stop Sakura, afterall.
Then again, I don't want to see MM destroy another ASH girl.

^with no real competition (at least at their level) but this is H!P fandom, so that doesn't matter. Congrats MM, you crushed Rock A Japonica.... From 3BJr.


...the songs still feel like 2010 SNSD or something.

I definitely agree. Her face looks so soft and attractive without bangs. I have the same feelings for Ogawa.

Like AIS, or Pucchi Pass.

Outside of Oda really. Fuku is stable but she isn't much of a vocalist and Masaki's talent is pretty much ruled by mysticism. MM basically recruited a group of girls who could barely sing, then switched a singing group to a dancing group. The main issue for a while has been the group isn't really gr...

Was UUG's Budokan streamed? 
 
I always forget that UUG is under T-palette, so UFP groups and T-palette groups go to their shows. 

So, after the one man live today, I actually browsed through twitter and found Sumikama's account. I never really looked into the credits for any of the Angerme songs for the latest single, but Sumikama is the pianist who does live acoustic shows with Idol Renaissance (and the live band shows recent...

Most of them are co-workers who happen to either be on the same route or want to kill time. Like 2-3 have genuine relationships (and even then, I can only think of Kanon)

I've loved Berryz for a long time, and once they announced their hiatus I kind of came to terms with not seeing them anymore. Momo in CG was a nice treat and so is PINK CRES. for Miyabi, but I am totally happy with her decision. I hope the best for her. She has been a great role model for the other ...

Country Girls also gets excellent covers. I don't mind a few drab covers for each group, but if MM is selling the most singles, it doesn't make much sense to distribute a sub-par product (in reference to the actual set).

I don't mind them looking similar, but if you're going to have a filler at least put in some variation. It's a cover no one ever liked, and was uninspired from the start. And this: https://66.media.tumblr.com/efb9ea455723f6d98bb9a7c3f9da8714/tumblr_messaging_ofrhajgCTt1ty3ksj_500.png This is definit...

If I see the pink and blue covers one more time I'm going to lose it. Almost every group had one of those pink ones this year and the stupid geometric collage doesn't look good.
It never has.
Plus, they all look familiar.... like lazy versions of Angerme covers. 

Congratulations to them, hopefully they are ready for it, and we don't get another no-go live song.

The MV for Sexy Cat feels like a higher budget version of WANT. 

2016 is the year of idol MVs.
Maneki Kecha - time machine

For you Berryz loving mofos.

Nope, but when Risa was announced, I think everyone wished for it lol.

Nearly every font is. People make them for a living, they have to get their money's worth. There is personal use (like... blogs and stuff) then commercial use (logos), so for pretty much any non-default font (like... courier or something), you're gonna be paying someone. Don't get me wrong, people i...

It's not, college font is more of a style of fonts. I was saying, as long as they own it, it really doesn't matter. It looks more like a font-pack to me (since they used two versions of it), but I guess it's really all the same.

Yeah, I noticed that they used the college font. As long as they have the licence it's all good.

It fits them perfectly... weird... a good name out of UF... It's been a while.

[quote="DonJuan"] What... no offense, but how long have they been rehearsing this? It looks like they had only one day. [/quote] Exactly! I get the whole nerves part, but I still expected them to be able to hold it together a bit better. If the dance was more complex it wouldn't seem as di...

For an indie group (like Rosario+Cross or something)? Yes. But I honestly just expected a bit more from them. For the song, I expected it to be a lot more... chic. And the dance isn't as sharp as I expected it to be (though they can fix this with time... kinda? I mean they are older) Typical idol fa...

...Miya is still great... her partners on the other hand...
If you stopped before the dance break, consider yourself lucky. Yuuka and Hikaru have no idea what is going on.

It isn't the quantity that is off-putting, its that no one has settled in yet (Hokkaido, Kassa, Tsubaki), but I guess they need that fluff for back-up dancers.

I wonder if H!P has ever heard the phrase, "finish one candy bar before you start another."

Its funny how Miyabi is being kinda torn apart for her fashion on other forums and people are annoyed about her influence being over the group, when her group will just be a refined version of Akishibu Project.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9dxk8VPzaM   They are the most up to date with fashion...

^That... seems like an odd decision...
 
Tsubaki has been pretty boring, especially lately, so it is nice to finally get a buzz going. I, more or less, like the members added, and to be honest the original line-up is so dull, I can't imagine the group being affected negatively.
