I laughed at waaay too many of these, and spent way too much of my day coming back to the tab and laughing again.

Both sound nice; he voice has improved a lot recently. Her dancing is really her best talent. And U10 is cute to watch as he runs around to keep up with the signs.

From her last sets of videos of the most recent singles, I don't think I would mind Cuca becoming a solo act and going the route of early Ayaya. She's young enough that'd it work for longer than it did with Ayaya. Plus, she's entertaining enough to watch on her own.
 
She really has gotten pretty good even in the last few months, though. I hope she gets somewhere in H!P with this audition.

nah, her voice may have improved but I don't think it will ever be good enough.
 
but then again.... Mano...

I was gonna say... but how I see it, as long as you entertain in the idol world, who cares if you're not the best singer. It's about their overall performance that matters (or how hard the member tries to improve). It's probably why I like Chinami or Ayaka As performers, they're more fun to watch than others because they're more animated.

And this is why we love Cuca. Her voice needs some work, although she's far from awful, but she dances well and is so adorable and energetic. I think that as long as Tsunku also adds an already good vocalist in the 12th gen, Cuca would make a good addition.

[arcobaleno]

Totally agree.

Not the best from her, but its still good.

I thought I gave up on S/mileage a few years ago after Maeda left.  But Anderei insisted that their latest album is great.  And she's right.               
 

[Anderei]

I'm glad you liked it! It's like the stars were perfectly aligned or something when he wrote it. I would be all for longer gaps between albums instead of one a year if they all turn out as good as the S/mileage one.

I love that kid.
 
Masaki would be so boss at those old Hello Morning challenges, because she's done pretty much everything.

Ditto.  But I've been saying for some time now that the biggest H!P story of the past year is how good S/mileage has gotten.

[Anderei]

<a href="http://www.up-fc.jp/helloproject/news_I ... 14">Sakura is having an FC event on 8/22.</a> Just her, no guests. Not birthday related since it's nowhere near her birthday. Hopefully we'll get some good recordings out of it.
 
And Berryz and S/mileage are doing some play together that has a really cool flyer:

[Mugi]

Did both Risako and Ayaka cut their hair? When did that happen? I think it looks really good on Risako though.

[Anderei]

I think they're wearing wigs. Maasa's still got her long hair so this was probably taken a few weeks ago.

[star]

Saki holding a skull must signal that this will be a good musical that is at least worth watching. I only watched STACIES Shoujo Saisatsu Kageki since it was about zombies and Reina played a lead. (I usually hate musicals.) Hopefully this one is good and lives up to STACIES. (which will forever be my standard for musicals.)

[yuzuriha]

OH I GET IT S/MILEAGE IS IN RED AND BERRYZ IS IN WHITE.
 
I don't usually like short hair but Risako looks hot in that wig.

[NekoKaiSai]

The release date for DaXiaoJie's new album will be issued in seven days, and <a href="http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/bmiddle/6e555a48j ... pg">here's a cute picture to go with it</a>.

[yuzuriha]

Haha cute and kind of creepy at the same time though!

I second this.

[Anderei]

It's time for the yearly BLT shirts that the girls design. Put on your artsy judgmental hats.

 
I don't know what's going on in Akari's but I dig it. Haruna's also looks awesome (wait no she used your instead of you're minus all the points Haruna). Will post better photos from the website and number explanations once those sides are revealed.

[al kusanagi]

Sayu keepin' it real.

[momoirosaya]

My favorites are Harunan's and Rina's.

[aine]

What the heck is Net Patrol? Or windows.011? And why do I have a vague feeling Sayu is trying to out herself as a 2channer?

[al kusanagi]

Net patrol is pretty much just surfing the net all day, which is what Sayu does when she's not working. Not sure about the significance of 011 though.

[NekoKaiSai]

I want Haruka's.  What does the SK stand for on Captain's?

[Noa]

Probably her name. SaKi

[yuzuriha]

Fucking Momoko.
 
I really like Haruka's.
 
I can't believe Sakura WROTE AMBITIOUS AAAAAH
 
Obviously I want Risako's....

[cadmonkey]

Acquire Kind Achieve Reconnect Idea ?
 
Haruna's is great, even with the misspelling.

[tsukinobyouin]

011 = Michishige 11 maybe? Although they're already down to 10 so that's kind of pointless. I imagine the others did numbers and stuff but we can't see the backs yet.


Harunan <a href="http://ameblo.jp/morningmusume-10ki/ent ... recognized her mistake</a> and says she's embarrassed. Aww. Harunan, Sayuki, and Yuka's are the only designs that are really worth being T-shirts though. The rest just look like glorified signatures or things that would work better on a tote bag or something.
