CHOOSE THE ULTIMATE HOSHIBE SHO H!P BANGER
This idea was inspired by the conversation in the Reina Ichioka graduation thread. Hoshibe Sho might be in a bit of a slump, but he's responsible for a large chunk of the post-Tsunku H!P classics, so I was gonna do a March Madness type tournament of all his H!P compositions. As the poll functionalit...

Re: Ichioka Reina graduates from BEYOOOOONDS
Here's another thing to consider: We haven't heard too many legit bangers from Hoshibe in the last calendar year. Biyo's "Motome yo... Unmei no Tabibito San" came out last April and MM's "Wake Up Call" last October, and that's pretty much it from my perspective. Of those, "M...

Re: Ichioka Reina graduates from BEYOOOOONDS
Well this sucks. She was clearly nearing the end, having just celebrated her 25th birthday, but going out with SGS (Sudden Graduation Syndrome) is just salt in the wound. She deserved way better than this, and I hope her health eventually improves to the point where she can take her place in M-line ...

Re: [2024.02.21] Tsubaki Factory - 3rd -Moment-
First listen impressions are that this will eventually be my least favorite TF album, or it will be my favorite to date. Shojou's descriptions are almost exactly what I was thinking while hearing the songs for the first time, although I'll add that "EZPZ" sounds like a group challenge song...

Man, I hope Ozeki gets good songs as opposed to 3rd-tier off-the-rack mid-tempo snoozers, because I really dig her voice. It's hard to tell how UF is gonna handle new M-line girls, especially when they weren't A-listers in H!P. And damn, I hope Yuka recovers alright. Anything related to the spine is...

Re: The Official H!P Question Thread
Honestly, you could pin it down to Reina's leadership. EDM as the MM guide star was the run from "Renai Hunter" through "Brainstorming." Starting with the Wagamama/Gundan single the songs used EDM elements as opposed to EDM arrangements for the most part.

Not my favorite song, but I love that M-line is getting a gig like this, and I would LOVE if this would become at least a semi-permanent group, because it's awesome. Shit, given how thin H!P's release schedule is now, they could compete directly with H!P groups if UF wanted them to. Two songs per ye...

That's a 59% hit rate, and if you assume the girls currently in KSS Unit will all make it to debut, it's a 61% hit rate. So girls who join the H!P ...

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~
Here's the GOODM!X song and MV: "Come on Mix!"
Pretty fun old-school H!P vibe, and plenty of hooks throughout. I don't think it rises to the level of SHAKA SHAKA TO LOVE, Vitamin ME or Furefure Everyday, but it's pretty good.

This has the potential to be the thing that gets me back into H!P in a big way.

Riho's new video "Hi(gh) Life" dropped on YT yesterday.
This doesn't really hit me all that hard, which is how her catalog has trended since her solo debut.

Re: H!P fanmixes
Near as I can tell, fan mixes kind of died with the Platinum Era, if not during it. There are a few YT musicians who do play-alongs to H!P songs, but I haven't seen any full-on remixers in years. That's not to say they don't exist, just that I'm not aware of any.

Re: This is a 2NE1 thread
There are a lot of singers that I grow to like in a group and they sound great, but when they go solo it's so underwhelming. The contrast with the other members of the group are what give them depth. For sure. I also think it's easy to just assume that an idol who stands out in a group will automat...
