They have a Jr. Tanpopo look now!

I stay away from all teacher dramas. They're all too similar. Besides, once you've seen the best of them, GTO, why bother with the rest?! That goes for cop dramas, too. I quit them after watching "Odoru Daisousasen"

Been posted to Hello Online, but in case you didn't notice, the "interview" where the Japanese First Lady gets all whacky was from Bijo Houdan. Yes, THAT Bijo Houdan with HP members interviewing famous Japanese women. I don't doubt she's a bit kooky, but do you think she kind of played it ...

This is such BS. I lived in CA from 99 to 01, and then again from 05 to 06, and no one came, then MM and then GLAY come. Fuck!! I would have been the first one to buy a ticket for the SF show. I lived about 30 minutes away from the Filmore. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DI...

i never really bothered to listen but the Kuma-chan CM hooked me in. i'll be on the lookout.

hardcore comic nerds are going abso-fuckin-lutely APESHIT over this (and I love it). From a business standpoint, this was absolutely brilliant on Disney's part. As for Marvel, they must have did the calculations and realized they couldn't do it all the movie stuff on their own, i.e. production, mark...

I really liked the pics in this PB. Nothing was too over the top. Even the most questionable pics, (the ones with the microphone), don't come off as overtly sexy, imho, because she still has her same cutesy smile. In fact, throughout the book she's never really "trying" to be sexy. Rather,...

They replaced the other 3 for obvious reasons (they were put in s/mileage). Irorin has deserved more spotlight time for a while now. I'm glad she's getting it. Mizuki only joined HPE last year. That's pretty remarkable that they already put her in a group.

I love the C/W - "Kirai Suki Daikirai!" It's more of the "classic" Buono rock sound many of us are fond of. I can't wait to see this love. BTW, the beginning guitar riff is mostly the one from "Aisha Loan de," which is of course from The Knack's "My Sharona."

I wished they put more close ups. The girls are looking really pretty here. It was def. a Sweets/SPEED type of PV -dance shots and white clothes.

2nd is good enough considering the competition. About the B'z single - They usually get good sales PLUS it's tied in to the most popular drama of the season - Buzzer Beat, so that's an extra bump.

Of all people, Oricon with their documented rigging of charts in favor of JE, should not be the one to cast stones.

I like it better than Omakase. It's less sing-songy, if that makes any sense. I like the PV and the dance, and anything that has Nakky in it I like.

Another favorite from Onyanko Club (Kokusho Sayuri), Valentine Kiss! You may remember this from one of the Lucky Star outro karaoke songs.

BTW, am I the only one who LOVES 80s fashion in all its hideousness?!

Watched District 9 on Friday. It pretty much delivered on the hype. The SFX, done by Peter Jackson's effects studio in NZ, was as good as the stuff in LOTR, which is great considering this movie was for "only" $30M. It's a pseudo-documentary, and from the way it's told, you can already gue...

I loved the small mini CD single CDs and their jackets!! How many of us are old enough (and were into JPOP at the time) to have those in our collection? I have about 30 of them all together!

^^ easily, the best one. Classic lineup, great song, great costumes.

They won't just because there's that pesky Ayu single in the way. Anyway, it would be nice, but I don't think it's that important, as long as they still have decent songs. Both Shouganai and this one have been really good.

I haven't seen the remixed version of Episode IV. By the last 30 mins I mean the "attack on the Death Star." GI Joe's "attack on the Cobra underwater base" is basically the same damn thing.

Saw GI Joe yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I thought. About as good as Transformers 1, which means it kicked the shit out of Transformers 2, Wolverine also, for that matter. It was basically one big ass action scene followed by another. The Duke/Baroness subplot is retarded and drags on way too long,...

Noticed it in a few PVs now but this is really blatant, but is it just me, or does Momo like to stick out her ass when dancing. I mean, I'm not complaining in the least, cuz I'm a guy, and she definitely has something to flaunt, but it was just obvious in this vid. Lecherous comments aside, I like t...

For some reason (maybe the hair), she kind of reminds me of a Korean Koharu.

OMG! C-ute is disappearing before our eyes! I think they need to add an egg or do a C-ute audition. OTOH, I wish Erika all the best. They need to do a big graduation concert for her. C-ute has only had two phantom dismissals so far. They should do it right this time. It looks like she'll leave at th...

The vast improvement over last year's Spring Concert is very noticeable. Last year, they seemed unsure of themselves as a group. This year, they're comfortable with themselves as a unit, as well as their abilities.

Everyone has probably seen it already, but the full PV is out. The PV reminds me a lot of Buono's debut, "Hontou no Jibun." BTW, Kanon looks really pretty here!!
