The Official H!P Question Thread

[Madara]

Can someone please identify the little Egg at the left of the first row in this picture:

 
Next to her are Yuu Kikkawa, Sayaka Kitahara and Konatsu Furukawa.
 
Behind them? I don't recognize any of them.  Can anyone identify them as well?
 
Thanks.
 

[Anderei]

Takagi Sayuki. She's now a member of Juice=Juice.
 
2nd row in the middle looks like Hirano Tomomi. I want to say that to her right is Mori Saki, how is now part of Up Up Girls. Can't identify the girl whose hand is covering her face.

That's Sayuki??!?!? Woah....

[Anderei]

Yeah, she's about 12 there.

[Shoujo Q]

Anderei is correct about Saki. I want to say the one with her face covered sorta looks like Wada Ayaka but I assume Madara would know who she is, so judging by the fact Hiromi is there and Kikka, this was the Shuffle Date concert or Mobekimasu? Can you get us a screencap without her face covered? This is going to bug me now. T_T
 
 
 

[Anderei]

It's 2010 Winter.

[cadmonkey]

I don't know much about the Eggs, but could she be Mizuki?

[Anderei]

It could be.

[yuzuriha]

Now that you say that I see it a little in the mouth...but it might be the power of suggestion.

[Madara]

Here's a better picture of the mystery girl:

 
And, no, it's not Mizuki, who you can see in this picture (center of front row):

 
Yes, these are from the Winter 2010 ShuffleDate Concert. I take a look back at it in my latest blog entry, from the standpoint of the sheer number of performers in it who are no longer in H!P. Please check it out.

I took a screen grab of the Eggs listed in the end credits, but forgot to transfer it to Flickr, so I can't retrieve it on my office computer. When I get home, I'll post it. Some of the names you listed are not there.
 
Also, the Eggs who actually performed with some of the units--Akari Saho, Akari Takeuchi and the four members of S/mileage--were with the main cast at the end of the concert and not in their Egg costumes.
 
 

[zlilzlilzlil]

It's Takagi Sayuki of Juice=Juice!
Look at this eggs concert info:
<a href="http://helloproject.wikia.com/wiki/2010 ... _Gold!~</a>
She is pictured as the one before last, and sayuki is also listed as one before last in the one taking part...
 
<a href="http://helloproject.wikia.com/wiki/Taka ... _Sayuki</a>
 
Look at picture 10 out of 13, it's her.
 

[Shoujo Q]

We got that, we're talking about the one behind her.

[Anderei]

It's probably Sato Ayano.

[Madara]

Here's the complete Egg credit list at the end of the ShuffleDate concert:
 

 
They don't list the four S/mileage members, who are listed under S/mileage after the main performers.
 

[arcobaleno]

Ayano isn't on there, so it must be Anri then.
 
Actually, it must be her: <a href="http://helloproject.wikia.com/wiki/Tana ... ka_Anri</a>
 
She looks exactly like that mystery egg.
 
Woo, look how smart I am, NOT.

[MejraThea]

Question. (obvious, isn't it?)
 
What concert did <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMEPn5K7amY">this</a> performance come from?
 
Nevermind, found it.

[Anderei]

The Kitakore (Ktkr) setlist of the summer 2012 concert.

[MejraThea]

Thank you, though, Anderei ^.^ I was just a little late seeing your comment.

[MejraThea]

Sorry for the double post, I have a photo-card related question!
Where do you get those plastic sleeves that have slots for pictures that fit in a three ring binder? I'm about to get an influx of Riho photos and wish to be prepared.
Also, what size to get? For an average L sized photo card.

[Shoujo Q]

Ooh! Ooh! I know this! Excuse me for I am about to unload my limited nerdy sleeve knowledge on you.       
 
There are a few types you can get that I know of. (Note: L size photos are 3.5x5 so always look for that when buying plastic sleeves. I use Amazon, but I linked to the companies websites below.)


One is put out by <a href="http://www.c-lineproducts.com/">C-Line</a> and the other is <a href="http://www.ultrapro.com/division.php?d=p">Ultra Pro</a> and <a href="http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/pro ... s/">BCW</a>. Ultra Pro and BCW are basically the same, but Ultra Pro also offers horizontal L pages and BCW offers a ton of weird sizes. (It's mainly for collectors.)

(H!P shop sells sleeves with collection photos, but I have no idea what brand it is.)

There are many reason people choose their brand. I use C-Line and BCW. I chose BCW in the beginning for myself because I got a good deal on the price and someone gave me a large package of used ones. I also have C-Line sheets for my 2L photos and trading cards.
 
I find that the C-Line plastic is very thin and flimsy, where as the BCW is stronger and doesn't bend as easily. BCW is also archival so it protects the photos better, not sure about C-Line. The drawback to BCW is that there is a ton of room surrounding the photo, so it's not a true 3.5x5 fit for the photo, were as the C-Line sheets hold the photos better and there isn't a lot of movement between photos when they are back to back in a sheet. I liked how C-Line sheets fit my 2L  (2L size is 5x7) photos better then in the Ultra Pro sheets, except that the photos go in on the side rather then the top, like every other sheet I own! But overall I stick with the BCW for the L photos because I think the plastic sheets sit better in the binder and I like the sturdy plastic. I can live with the photos shifting around, I just make sure when I put them to be careful.
 
Other photo sizes include Trading Card (Derp, these are easy to find sleeves for!), Postcard (4x6 - Standard American Photo Size,), A5* (8.3x5.8 - Crappy F'n Size! So much hate!) and Pinup A4* (11.7x8.3 - Newer pinups come with sleeves, older ones don't.)
 
*The A5 size is relatively new in the H!P world and I hate it because there is no A5 sleeves available. (They sell a binder on UF-Online but I'm not paying that! I end up just putting the photos in the 8x10 sleeves and dealing with it.)
H!P gives you sleeves with the A4 pinups, but you need to find either a 2 ring or 4 ring binder and those are expensive unless you know someone in another country (Europe/Asia) willing to buy and send you one.
 
Okay I'm done now. I hope this was a helpful and informative post. 
 
In the end, since you're new at this, go with the cheaper option and if you find yourself turning into a collector, you can use your judgement as to which you like better. 

[MejraThea]

Wow, thank you, Q! I was not expecting such an educated answer, so you pleasantly surprised me! Yeah, I'll probably just go with the cheap one for now  Blew off all my money on photo cards anyway, lol.
But I'll keep in mind the sturdier ones for future use ;D Thank you ever so much
 
Edit:
Scratch that, <a href="http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/pho ... tm">BCW</a> all the wayy (first one I found the right size on,so)

[Haru]

Tucking this back for myself because right now I have all my photo cards in a photo album with other stuff.

[Haru]

Double post because I'm cool like that.
I know that I have to have a Japanese address to buy from Hello!Shop, but is there any third party I can go through that won't charge a giant amount of tax? Or.. is that Japanese taxes on goods? :s

[Shoujo Q]

You could join Idol!Swap on facebook? 

[Haru]

Well, I'm seeking a specific item though. Will that help?

[MejraThea]

What specific item? I!S does group orders from Up-Front Online and the Hello! Project shop. The fees are minimal, usually 5% on each item, 100 or so yen for shipping, 2-500 yen for 'Charge2 (the service from japan to US)' and shipping from the house of the person that placed the group order to yours.
 
And, of course, you can always post an ask if someone has the item, if it's not in the shop. I love it, but it's draining away all my money 

[Haru]

I'm seeking the Berryz one of these. I had heard of Idol! Swap but I thought it was something through H!O. Thanks a ton for your help guys.
