Don't hate the pigtails. You only hate them because you hate Momoko's character. But try looking at it objectively. If I didn't know better, I could have been fooled that this was a picture of another K-pop group. Gorgeous, and equally forgettable. But I'd remember Momoko as she's the only one who conveys some kind of a memorable personality. Still sexy, just with pigtails. And a frilly black nightgown.

See, I think everyone looks sexy, but she looks ridiculous. Maybe she could look sexy if she let her hair down, like she has every once in a while. Even a different TYPE of pigtail can be sexy. But those are so NOT sexy to me.



But, to each his own.

She's dedicated to her character in Berryz. Deal with it. You want grown up Momoko, then she's in Buono.

Guess that's the key phrase here.



Again, if you took Momoko out of that picture, you could have fooled me this was yet another Korean girl group. Which I agree are gorgeous, but in an extremely boring way. Momoko stands out in my eye of a casual viewer by emanating her quirky and mischievous aura.



Guess this means I'm more into quirky and mischievous girls than the plain old sexy ones. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... R#>/8o.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8o' />



But why are we even discussing this; I don't really care about Berryz and I don't like Momoko that much, yet I sound like an apologist. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />

Momoko's butt makes up for any hairstyle choices ten times over. The end.

This years MM calendar is turning into all sorts of cute.













Though I'm not sure what 2919 means.





Also I moved a whole bunch of posts from the Spam thread. I forget I had made this 2013 calendar thread already. I had a senior moment.

[rob]

2919 is about Niigaki, I can't remember the exact details of it, but the 2 is Ni in Japanese, Niigaki's Ni.



The first 9 I can't remember....



1-9 in Japanese is Ichi and Ku... so I...Ku.... Ikuta

[Zoe]

The 2 is probably "fu" (like "futatsu"), so FukuIku.

[rob]

ahhh it could be.... I was sure it was something to do with Gaki-san though!

[yuzuriha]

I am seriously loving this purikura theme. And since the 2919 was written in their colors I figured it was two numbers to represent them somehow..but I'm too lazy to figure out exactly what right now.

[Shoujo Q]

More Berryz photos.

[yuzuriha]

I think I am officially a lesbian now.

Yeah, if it's in their colors, then it probably definitely is Fuku-Iku.



It's weird that Berryz is the sexy group of H!P and Morning Musume is turning into the younger girls group.

I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. C-ute will just stay the provocative dance group and S/mileage the obnoxious baby voice group.



Whenever I look at Risako's hair in photos now, the item just looks like it wasn't printed correctly and it's some sort of Chinatown knockoff.

Mano looks absolutely miserable, as if she'd just been crying or something. Isn't she going to graduate? Why did they make a calendar for a year she won't be an active entertainer?

[/quote]



Last minute money, of course. They always do this. It's like a farewell gift for the fans, a gift that you have to buy for yourself. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Also, the Morning Musume calendar is missing Sakura, that will be even weirder for 2013 since that will be when she'll start to have a presence in the singles.

[showraniy]

I'm loving Risako's hair so much. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' /> It reminds me of a long time ago when I had red-purple hair!



And I just had to chime in that Berryz look amazing. They're really blowing me away with these photos.

[yuzuriha]

BTW, Captain looks beautiful and there's nothing REALLY wrong with her eyebrows, but it's been bothering me for a while that her eyebrows make her look really concerned or confused all the time. Am I the only one who sees this?

[Shoujo Q]

There are no words. Other then, it's finally happened. They finally made someone wear a tablecloth.







Edit: Turns out this was her outfit for the 2013 calendar.

[Mukuro]

A belt would have helped it so much more.

[yuzuriha]

It looks like the nightgowns my dad always used to wear. Nightshirts? I don't know what you call them when it's a guy.

[Miss Moonlight]

Oh god, poor Kanon... I know she's stockier than the other girls, but she's NOT THAT BIG, and a stylist who actually knew what he/she was doing could make the difference between her and the other girls barely noticeable (same with all of H!P's curvier girls, past and present). Hell, the most flattering outfit I think I've ever seen on Kanon was the one Takahashi put her in when she styled the whole 9th gen before she left.

[yuzuriha]

At least they aren't like...sporty. Like when they were trying to cover up Yossie. :( Those always made me so sad.

[Shoujo Q]

Someone made a video of themselves opening the Morning Musume calendar.



I guess Kanon will be wearing the tablecloth for all of 2013.



I'm just going to move that spam post over here now.

[Melon]

I think Japan in general doesn't know what to do when girls aren't stick thin. Poor Kanon!

[Shoujo Q]

Morning Musume





Berryz Koubou





C-ute





Mano Erina





S/mileage

[strawberryjam]

Sayu showed how she did the drawing on the calendar cover on her blog.







They should just let the girls design the calendars every year. It's much more personal and cuter. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/meh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';/' />



Oh and the summer page for the MM calendar would totally deter me from buying it though. God, do I really need a bunch of 13 years in bikinis jumping in a huge poster on the wall? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

[rallyleo]

How does Mano manage to amaze me by constantly out-boring-ing herself?

[freezingkiss]

I thought that Berryz one with them lying down was their faces photoshopped into Manatsu no Sounds Good. That's such a bad copy of it.
