Hello!Station :: The Thread

[al kusanagi]

It's pretty much the best dancers in HP and former long time Eggs.

BE ALIVE doesn't really work as a solo song. it just sounds sort of.... empty?

I think that's just because Ayumi's voice isn't quite as full as other members. Sakura sang this solo at one of her solo events, and it was fantastic. Ayumi does a lot better job than I was expecting. She is one member who is usually hit or miss. She is not meant to be a soloist, but you can tell she is a hard worker to have to get to the point where she is at now. Now almost all the members can stay on pitch 90% of the time.

Seems like they are using the more popular members, even the injured ones.

While all of these are popular members, I agree with whoever said this is the list I would give if someone asked me the top dancers in each group. 

[Haru]

^ Same. The only thing is I feel like I would've swapped Dawa for Meimi.

 YES.  More Meimi.

[Banana]

I love Meimi, but I have no desire to see her in a dance unit. I found her painful to watch during the Team Okai dance covers.

[Elpis]

Meimi is okay at dancing but I think she is more of the singing type.

Ayumi, dear, you're adorable. But never sing solo again.

[arcobaleno]

Oh god, singing Ren'ai Hunter solo must've killed her.
 
I'm gonna watch it though

[yuzuriha]

Oh man, I HAVE to see this.  I just can't see how it would be a good solo song for ANYBODY.
 
/edit  Actually....she did a lot better than I expected.  But these things are so awkward.  She really looked like she should be dancing...and that she wanted to.
 
No seriously, her singing has improved a lot.  She was still flat at some points but she hit the notes a lot more than I thought she would.

[Shoujo Q]

I'm beginning to think they tranquilize Meimi before they let her do the solo corners because her dead eye look is just SO not her. Compared to when anyone else does these solo corners.

[smtmissin]

Ayumi did well enough...she improved. Still, I am not impressed. Even though Riho's singing is crap, I can still feel her line. I don't feel the same with Ayumi. Her singing doesn't impart messages or feelings of any kind....She is my second favorite in Momusu, but I don't think she can compare to Sakura, Riho, Mizuki, Masaki or Kanon.

[Melon]

Ayumi fans know her vocal disabilities though. It's like trying to insult Sayu fans by saying she can't sing. We know, and we like her for reasons other than her voice. She looked nervous though, poor girl.
 
Renai Hunter should never be sung solo anyway. The group parts lack the obvious punch sung solo. BAD UFA BAD. Why do you give these girls such bad song choices to show off their skills?

[showraniy]

Aww, I liked Ayumi's solo. I think that's what I sound like when I sing, haha. My voice lacks a certain power IMO, and she's hitting all the notes other than occasional flatness so it reminds me of me and lol PROJECTION.
 
And don't these girls choose their songs for these solo corners? That's always the impression I had though I could totally be wrong.

[Elpis]

Wasn't their supposed to be a Hello! Station episode today? Or is my YouTube subscriptions page glitching again?

[al kusanagi]

There were tweets about there being some problems and the show being uploaded later.

It's up now.

I can't get over the weird choices of location for the solo corners... why is she in a restaurant???

[Anderei]

There's a restaurant in the UFP building isn't there? Also how many solos has Mizuki done for H!S?

[Banana]

I think it's three. Aruiteru, Ai Araba It's All Right, and now I Wish. I might be forgetting one, though. 

[Anderei]

Well, hopefully this is her last one. I'd really like to hear a solo from someone new.

In which one ? I don't remember.. Wasn't it in a restaurant too ? x)
 
EDIT : Thanks Arcobaleno and Banana :) !
 
Mizuki was so beautiful x3 and manage very well with all solos she sung ! Go Mizuki ! (a cheerleader emoticon is missing, in my opinion :3)

[arcobaleno]

Yeah, Ai Araba was like in a cafe or restaurant, too. I WISH is one of my Mizuki's favorite songs, so I'll hafta listen to that later since I love that song too.

Hello Station #28. It's at the same place as I Wish; they were shot at the same time.

[pandapanda]

It's at Rakuten's cafe, H!P and them collab a lot.

[smtmissin]

The girls seems to sing many songs at the same place, then Hello Station uploads one song at a time, at different time interval. So it's not surprising for one girl to sing around 3-5 songs. I hope I can see  girls from Juice=Juice singing solo though, especially Tomoko.
 
The background male voice and beatboxing in Mizuki's solo is so creepy T__T
 
Any idea why C-ute was able to change their outfit so fast at 11:50? Or is the footages from different concerts?
 
 

[Elpis]

I wish they'd let other girls get to sing. Not just the really popular ones.

[Banana]

They've had solos from several girls who aren't really popular.

[Purin-chama]

This week's with Tomoko as the host

[Haru]

The same song three times in the same video? wtf?
