I know this has come up before, and I think I was the one who brought it up, but thanks again for answering.

[momoirosaya]

No problem :) I want to know more of what goes on behind the scenes with that kind of stuff too, but alas we don't have any of that information ;_;
Sorry my answer sounded kind of passive aggressive because I used "..." but it was more like "...I think"!!

[star]

Oh, don't worry. I completely understand. I use the ellipsis a lot and my friends always say "Are you mad at me or something?"

So I really likethis song (I think the name written in English is RespecTokyo [with the t in respect and the t in tokyo being shared], but its written in Katakana which I'm not too good at) by Up Up Girls, but it really reminds me of another song that I can't quite place. I was going to ask in the H!P Question thread if any of you have that smae feeling, but they aren't H!P so I put it here.

It reminds me of Gangnam Style.

That's it! Thank you, I knew I wasn't crazy.

I was just on Ebay finding fingernails for my mother, and for some reason I looked up Japanese Nails and this came up:
 

 
I was like "Rikka!"

[star]

I love that magazine so much, although finding good scans online is hard.
Anyway, Rika looks lovely there.

[MejraThea]

Have you tried this site? Link
 
Although I realize this may be a stupid question.

Mai Satoda comes to the Bronx today, possibly the first time a member of Hello! Project has come to Madara's home borough. I just learned of it today.

The print edition of today's New York Post has a picture of the two of them. For some reason it's not in the on-line edition. 
 
I'm just annoyed that I wasn't invited to head her welcoming committee. 

[arcobaleno]

Yay, an H!P member was within 7-ish hours of me. How exciting 

[Anderei]

I'm posting this week's UF Licks because it's good if you've missed Mano or Risa.
 
11:54〜 My Days for You / Mano Erina
16:15〜 Genkimono de Iko! / Mano Erina
23:05〜 Roman 〜MY DEAR BOY〜 / Niigaki Risa
26:55〜 Aruiteru / Niigaki Risa
 
They were on a budget and made Risa wear a costume from her graduation concert. : (

[TicTacAnyone]

I know I'm late to realizing, but I just did... I realized that Niigaki was the leader for 2 songs-- One including her grad song. Wow, haha.

[arcobaleno]

Yeah, Risa really got kinda gypped lol

[Anderei]

She had originally wanted to graduate with Takahashi, but they asked her to stick around for just a bit longer.

[arcobaleno]

Oh, I see.
 
That's actually sweet of Risa, but I am glad she did stick around for a liiiiitle bit longer. At least she was there for the very start of MM's ascension, since Ren'ai Hunter (and even Pyoco) started the really electro sound.

[Meikochi]

Risa managed well and I was glad to hear her again but is it only me or did she lose a bit her powerful voice ? And it's a solo tour, right ?
 
If someone is interested in, a video of Aichan's wedding. She is beautiful and so shy !
 
EDIT : Oh ok. But what did she say at the end, in the backstage ? I thought she said "solo tour", that's why I asked..

[Anderei]

It was just an event.

That was odd footage for a wedding. With a brown dress and a tiara too.

[TicTacAnyone]

Well, it is winter (was snowing outside in the bg) and I don't think this is WEDDING footage so much as footage after they signed their marriage papers, correct? Especially since Ai said she wants her wedding to be in Hawaii ;) Correct me if I"m wrong, though. I remember her saying they were going to sign the paper on Valentine's Day (yesterday)

[al kusanagi]

She married Professor Layton?

My apologies if this is old news, but I don't recall anyone mentioning it before, and the search didn't find anything.
 
Back in June, Kikkawa Yuu collaborated with Kimaguren to form the special unit Kikkaren. Their CM song for Glico, "Cafe Ole no Uta," is cute and has its own MV:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFzd-2-nIP0
 
They also released an original song, "Aimai na Keiken," a nice latin-influenced number that's pretty different from  Kikka's normal music: http://ja.musicplayon.com/play?v=395443 (Youtube short clip: http://youtu.be/_Pg0EEVwFow)

Masahiro Tanaka sure knows how to live it big


A news that covers (just barely, I know) both Japanese pop and aviation in one? That does not happen very often. And I'm jealous of Satoda, the 787 is still on my "to fly" list.

[cadmonkey]

He's a big fan of Momoclo, so I wonder how that's going to look to the US media.  I still haven't seen any US articles pick up on that part of him.
 
[spoiler2]
I'm also looking for any excuses to take a ride on the 787, but United is the only one to utilize it out of LAX, and my completely justifiable hatred of UA prevents me from using them any time soon.
[/spoiler2]

[Anderei]

I don't think it'd be mentioned.

[cadmonkey]

I think someone will pick up on it eventually.  Baseball writers talk about some weird shit and like bringing up quirky aspects of players, so the mysterious, $155 million pitcher from Japan being interested in teenage Japanese pop singers will attract attention.  Heck, Satoda Mai has already received some (minute) media interest.

[Anderei]

That's true, but Mai is his wife. MomoClo wouldn't be of interest to people in the US and only one member isn't an adult, so it's not as if being a fan would paint him as a creeper at this point.
