Re: Hello!Spam :: 2020 ~Anniversary Mode~

Apparently Dawa announced April 8, 2018 and graduated June 18, 2019. Funaki is in the set lists for the concerts through early December so I think she’s gonna beat her.

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2020 ~Anniversary Mode~

Funaki announced her graduation on October 18 of last year and still has no graduation in sight. Is this the longest it’s ever taken anyone to graduate in H!P? I’m not even fully convinced she’s still leaving at this point.

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2020 ~Anniversary Mode~

Even a lot of popular girls don’t rank, and most of the time you don’t need to sell much to rank (800-1200 depending on the week with very few exceptions). I wouldn’t expect anything crazy. Chisaki actually looks great neck up on her cover (rest of it is just basic boring swimsuit). If I didn’t reco...

We finally have a photo book ranker after an onslaught of releases during COVID.


Chisaki’s photobook ranked 9 with 1,068 copies.

Re: Ogata Risa goes on hiatus after private Instagram account was leaked

That’s just Tsubaki fans deflecting because their sales are how they make themselves feel better about the fact that no one thinks they’re talented. I don’t put much stock in it.


Up Front are however offering refunds for events Ogata was supposed to take part in.

Re: Ogata Risa goes on hiatus after private Instagram account was leaked

I think even if she comes back... then what? She can’t be a front girl again and now the whole group knows she’s aired their dirty laundry, and in situations like this it seems like it’s rarely ever just one member.


I think she could have come back from the party girl stuff, but not the rest of it.

The lag in response was making me think it was fake but damn. I agree with Solar, why stay if that’s how you feel?


I think this deserves its own topic.

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2020 ~Anniversary Mode~

I think they’re more likely to turn a blind eye when the member is popular AND there’s plausible deniability. They’ve been around long enough that it wouldn’t be surprising to see people start to leave and we’ve seen time and time again that behind the scenes members don’t always get along so... who...

I feel like most people who would stream probably weren’t gonna buy physical copies anyway. I wonder if that’s why AKB’s management finally did it.

Article I saw said she plans to resume a range of entertainment activities, which honestly just sounds like code for stage plays. I’d be pretty surprised to see her release music with any sort of notable frequency.

Re: UFP/OG Spam Thread :: All things non-Hello!Project Related!

The owner of the cooking channel likes every single comment that posts on her videos, and the person uploading the covers doesn’t. If that was also her channel, I would think she’d be equally responsive to the comments.

Not the usual idol stuff but someone translated Dawa’s comments on her periods in Japan.

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2020 ~Anniversary Mode~

Yeah but if she wasn’t popular enough she would have eventually become a background member. Maria always would have won out because she has the looks and Ruru doesn’t.
