Hello!Spam :: 2013 Hello!Budokan or Bust Edition!

[MiniLovely]

Thank you. FINALLY.

[Melon]

Out of curiosity, what is the consensus on homosexuality in Japan? Like, if she " officially" came out, what sort of reaction would there be? (let's take away the idol thing from the equation please)

[al kusanagi]

While there's a surge of guy comedians and talento that are living out as a motherfucker, I can't name any lesbian personalities, although Keiko Kitagawa's new movie has her playing one apparently. The few gay women I knew there kept it pretty quiet.

A bunch of dirty liars think they love Maa-chan more than me.

[Anderei]

Haruna birthday goods ft. lots of the color yellow. I missed the memo that she got a solo FC this year. Last year she shared with Mizuki. Her guests are Ayumi and Sakura.

I love these 3 the best.
 
"I’ll love you even when you’re 17 and you’re the center, Maa-chan."
 
"I’ll love you even when you’re 24 and you’ve married an unpopular actor, Maa-chan."
 
"I’ll love you even if you use Musume as a stepping stone for your career."

[Elpis]

I'd love to hear Sakura sing Romantic Ukare Mode and Ame solo. They'd fit her voice well. 
 
Who originally sung Hey Mirai, Sweetholic and dearest?

[Anderei]

Hey Mirai is from MM's 5th album, dearest is a Matsuura song, and Sweet Holic is a Nacchi song.

My thought was "Who sings Daisuki Dakara Zettai Yurusanai?"  Kind of excited to see Sweetholic. Starting to love Sakura events because she brings all these "old school" songs back. I wish some of the other girls who claim to have loved H!P since they were young would bring some back as well.

[Anderei]

Fan recording of Sakura's event.
 
I can't listen until later, so I can't speak for the quality. I think it's the second event.
 
 
Also, Lurkette on H!O has been translating 2ch threads about S/mileage and the wota at the very end of this Sakura vs. Meimi thread has got the right idea. I'd be so happy to get a Meimi/Sakura duet, even just once.

[yuzuriha]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[emily]

Just once I wish Tudou would work for me! Does it have to do with my location?
 
Here it is on Dailymotion.

[strawberryjam]

Tasaki Asahi celebrated her 18th birthday at the H!P store with another live.

 
Here's her singing Rolling Days from one of the lives. She's been doing a couple of them and I think this video is from the day that we went.
 
Girl totally knows how to rock out on the piano and is very charismatic. I was sad her event was so low key and pretty much a buy-a-cd-on-the-spot-get-a-handshake event. There were 50 seats max and roughly 30 people standing. Aine and I went to the store on another day randomly and she was there rehearsing.. that's how indies she is.
 
P.S. She also did a really rocking cover. But Aine and I listened the original at home afterwards and were very WTF HER VERSION IS SO MUCH BETTER.. and now we wished we secretly recording the event.

[Melon]

I wish she would release an album, or mini, or something!!! I adore her so much!!

[Elpis]

UFP doesn't really seem to prioritize much outside of hello! Project besides Up up girls (kari). I wish they would though. She has some talent and I don't like seeing her in an agency doing practically nothing.

[Shoujo Q]

Technically this could be considered OG news since only 1 girl still remains.   


Mechaike Specials being released on DVD.   2001 / 2003

[aine]

Holy damn Momoko!

Spoiler: [+]

I had to do reality check twice to make sure that was her.

[arcobaleno]

Wow.
 
I didn't know she could be hot.

[yuzuriha]

Yeah, this look does MUCH better for her.

[Madara]

In a word...Wow!
 
(Please don't go back to those pigtails, girl.  )

[Anderei]

How did they manage to make her look younger than she already does?

[Mugi]

Is that a wig? Doesn't look real to me.

[eri]

Kanazawa Tomoko, who I discovered today, is the second coming of Maeda Yuuka 

[arcobaleno]

The Yuukarin wota have already gotten there.
 
Now I miss her again.

It is amazing though - the way she spoke and her mannerisms on the last Hello-whatever youtube show was just SOO similar to Maeda. 

[yuzuriha]

I never stopped missing her and I cry every day.

[Elpis]

^Yuuka was my favorite too. She will always be my favorite S/mileage member (along with Saki)
 
But I found this on the site too and I don't know what to think.

[arcobaleno]

I personally think Riho is in the right to scold him. Maybe yeah, she could've said it nicer, but to be honest, Riho is not the "sweet" type. She's more of a kinda "dad" like type. She wasn't being a bitch, just pointing out something he was doing wrong.
 
Like many of the wota already stated, it's bad "manners" to go around constantly for another handshake from the same girl. I'm sure she probably does appreciate the support, but after a while, the same man coming back for more and more is just creepy. After all, for some of the really creepy wota, even touching their beloved idol could give them some fantasies to get their jollies off to for a few months.

[Mugi]

Do they want the CD sales or not? To get a handshake you have to buy CD right?  This guy probably paid a lot money to see her.  He should be able to get his monies worth.
