In the next month I'll be reorganizing and making new threads for old ones, or prettying up older ones. If you want to see a thread dedicated to someone or something let me know.
The Appreciation Club threads are dedicated to any former OG that has an active career outside of H!P. I made them so that you don't have to spam the OG thread. That's mainly for the non-active OG work like say, Rika or Kaori. Tsuji having another baby. Silly stuff. They will be unsticked once you've familiarized yourself with them and their use. (I KNOW they are out of date.)

Here's the GOODM!X song and MV: "Come on Mix!"
Pretty fun old-school H!P vibe, and plenty of hooks throughout. I don't think it rises to the level of SHAKA SHAKA TO LOVE, Vitamin ME or Furefure Everyday, but it's pretty good.

Yup, it's cute and fun, but it's not really a banger. But still decent. Yay for Ichika violin moment!
Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~
Shame that I Ichika is down with injuring her neck again. They won’t be able to promote this to their best ability.

Geez, what are they doing to those girls?
Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~
It’s the same thing she had last time, the cervical disc herniation. So she obviously did something she wasn’t supposed to do and aggravated her issue again.

I hope this was recorded for release. I love it when H!P groups perform with live bands.

The lottery for next week Hina Fest is released on youtube
Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~
Why yes. Of course I updated my Hina stats.
This is the largest pull of members they have had for Hina Fest. Now the rank of members that have never done a Hina Fest as shrunk to 8.
Tsubaki Factory (not counting the newest gen because they haven't officially debuted yet) have the honor of being the only group currently where all members have participated at least once. C-ute held that record before, but their last Hina Fest they all automatically got a slot so really they shouldn't even count.

I'll spoiler the results for those who just want the deets right meow
I approve of all of the solos, but especially for the J=J/Biyo Premium, because she was the one girl that I was absolutely pulling for to get a solo. Also, the TF/OCHA soloist might seem like it's too obvious, but the girl's at the top of her game right now and I wanna see her murder some shit.
Of the groups, the J=J/Biyo quartet has the potential to be really good, and I like that all of the members are more recent additions. It's the duos, though, that always have the most potential to steal the show, for me anyway, and both pairings this year look pretty exciting on paper. The larger groups tend to be hit-or-miss, and I'm not super jacked for any of them other than the one I already mentioned.
Edit: upon further review, the TF/OCHA trio looks pretty fucking awesome, too.

Tsubaki Factory did shows with a live band recently, and yesterdays HaroSte showed their performance of "Namida no Heroine Kouban Geki"
Saorin and Tofu kinda go off here.

Beyooooonds will be doing their own Solo Fes type TV special:
Odd that this would air the same day as HinaFes, although it looks like it's after the evening show ends.

Hina-Fest is this weekend, and Hirayama Yuki came down with the sickness. So Kawana Rin won the pull to replace her as a soloist.
(It's always a pain to replace a last minute in my doc, but I did it.)

Oh FFS. That was the performance I was most excited about.

Re: Hello!Spam :: 2023 ~Dancing, Singing, Exciting!~
^^^ Glad that Biyo still does things lol. And apparently the public care a bit, too!
^^ Man, too bad about Yuki, because I think she's one of the best singers that joined "recently". Love Narin too, though.

This is pretty cool.

Looks like UF is slowly giving in to Spotify. T&C and M-line artists are now available for streaming. I imagine other legacy H!P groups will follow in the coming days, and eventually the current groups.

What I wouldn't give for more Melon Kinenbi and Berryz Koubou on Apple Music. They have such an eclectic release of stuff available. Like, Melon has their couple track album, Ura Melon, their Mini Album, Melon Juice and the MELON'S NOT DEAD album. And their last two singles, and that's it.
Berryz isn't any better. While C-ute has pretty much their entire discography on Apple Music, Berryz only has their 4th and 6-9th album available. And only their last two best of albums, not the first though. I'm not sure I understand the dynamics of it all. Because their singles are all up there.
But overall. I'm excited to listen to the T&C stuff. They only had one song available before and it was from one of the H!P Best of Albums.

I wonder if there has been some kind of silent agreement with Japanese media companies this year since the game I'm following also made their spotify uploads internationally available last month lol.
Anyways, sure, why not! Won't help them financially but it puts them out there.

Japan is probably starting to see what’s happening to Kpop and decided they want in on the cash a more open minded market will brings it’s basically free cash for them. But they are so stuck in the physical media market that it’s hard to pull away from that.

Apropos of nothing at all, here's the latest video from Hoshibe Sho where he shows how he makes a vocal demo for the girls to learn new songs. Youtube's auto-generated translations have improved to the point where Japanese-to-English seems to be pretty good now, so you can understand probably 90% of what he's saying in videos that don't come with subtitles added.

Oh, that's super interesting. I've gotten back into covering this year and since I'm a noob at mixing my covers aren't great lol.

I wish they’d do more of this stuff. It’s great to see the girls actually use their talents.

That was great! They should do more classical compositions so they can do a full concert like that.
The applause at the end of that was weak.

This still from Hello AI Channel hits hard, lol!
The vid I took this from is actually pretty interesting. The dude she's collabing with works in the industry and had a gig with Anju at one point, which is how he got into them. He says they seem to be genuinely close to each other, and are among the most polite talent he's been around. He also mentioned that his girlfriend in high school had a bus guide who was a former member of H!P, and AI confirms that she was a very popular member in her day, but they don't reveal her name, lol. Kamei sighting?
Her videos all contain English subs, so make sure to turn them on if you need them.
