The Official H!P Question Thread

[MejraThea]

Ok, thank you, really, ever so much, Aine and Anderei! Although it is now not uniform, I am very glad that it was supposed to be this way. Thank you.

[Shoujo Q]

Thea you should see my bookshelf. It's horrible how much UF doesn't care about the OCD people in the world. Instead of having everything in order like I want (by person), I have to keep everything in order by size. And screw you if you're a visual book collector. They just do whatever the hell they want. 

[MejraThea]

Oh, Q, that sounds like a nightmare. You really think they would understand us OCDs. After buying Riho's for years I'll know your pain.

[Meikochi]

Which Riho's photobook do you prefer Thea ? I think of buying one but I don't know which one I should buy...
 
And does anyone know why Aichan stood apart on the stage during Sexy 8 Beat ? She seemed to dance like the others but she stayed, most of the time, near the music key. Was she injured ?
 

[AquaChan]

She was injured during the tour.

[Meikochi]

As far as she was able to dance a bit, it wasn't serious, was it ?
Thanks AquaChan ^^ !

Well. Always a tough choice. 
 
Sayashi Riho was really cute, since she was younger than in Taiyou and Un deux trois. Un deux trois has lots of nice pictures, not as much cutesy as Sayashi Riho it would seem, sometimes.
 
I can't give you an opinion on Taiyou yet, haven't studied it well enough. There were lots of really great pictures, though. 

[Meikochi]

Thanks Thea ! (I think I'll choose the cutest, so apparently Sayashi Riho .)

Could someone post the track list for this Queen of J-Pop Concert DVD video?  http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjUxNjEwMTEy.html
 
What is the name of the song that starts at 57:14?  It is after Bokura no Kagayaki and before Kono Machi.
 
Thank you!

Tadoritsuita Onna Senshi.

Female warrior - which arrived.
 
Wouldn't you know the song I was curious about was the title song for the concert?  Duh.
 
I found the track list, too, at Hello! Project Wiki:  http://helloproject.wikia.com/wiki/%E2%84%83-ute_Budokan_Concert_2013_%22Queen_of_J-POP_~Tadori_Tsuita_Onna_Senshi~%22
 
Thanks Arco.

Recently I saw a picture of J=J promoting Romance no Tochuu with Otsuka Aina, so I thought that Otsuka left the group just before they filmed the MV (so they recorded the audio with her)
Is there any "preview" or some version of Romance no Tochuu with Otsuka on it? with the original line distribution in case that she recorded the audio before leaving

[Shoujo Q]

The only thing that exists with Aina in it are the photo and if you can find it, the first cut of the music video, parts of her body appear in shots with Karin. But they removed those. Other than that, no Aina.

Can anyone help me to find out who was involved in the recording of LALALA Shiawase no Uta sung by Wonderful Hearts?

[MejraThea]

Video performance of it.

According to the Hello! Project wiki.
 
And according to JPhip "It was recorded in a studio, but never was a release of any type."

Actually, it's on Petit Best 9.  Though considering the time of that album release, I don't think many of those names you put up are there 0.o

[MejraThea]

No? My mistake, then, sorry! The internet lied to me.

This Wiki is strange.  During the "Thank You For Your Love" 2010 concert the members of Ongaku Gatas performed as Ongaku Gatas.  They are not listed here as a group?!  They are (were) Hitomi Yoshizawa, Rika Ishikawa, Mai Satoda, Asami Konno, Miki Korenaga, Arisa Noto, Minami Sengaku, and Yuri Sawada.   Strange indeed.
 
EDIT:  Here is a video clip of one of their numbers during a "Thank you for your Love" concert from 2009.
( I tried to copy and paste the YouTube address ~ but for some reason can't.)  Look up sheikhyerbutay channel, Ongaku Gatas Playlist,  if you want to see it.  It's there for now until someone deletes it.
 
Where there two "Thank You For Your Love" Concert tours??
 

[Solarblade]

Yeah, I can't tell, though I hear Maimi, Airi, and Reina in the WH version of the song....so you might be right aquachan, I wonder if it's been c-c yet

I did a blog entry on the Beatles today, in honor of the 50th anniversary of their reaching #1 for the first time in the U.S. with "I Want to Hold Your Hand."
 
Did any H!P singers ever cover any Beatles songs? If so, I'd like to add it to my entry.
 
Thanks.

Does Tsunku count? He released a Beatles cover album in 2000. Here's his Help! I don't know whether anybody else has done any covers.

That's pretty wild. On that same page is a link to where someone else posted a sampler of each of the songs on that album:
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLpEixcWs98
 
Some sound better than others. I especially like "I Saw Her Standing There" and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away."
 
It's funny that the Beatles did a song called "Mr. Moonlight," which Tsunku does here a full year before he wrote a song by that title for MM. (They don't sound anything alike, though.) I'd never heard of the earlier "Mr. Moonlight."
 
But why couldn't he have parceled some of the songs out to some of the singers who were in his employ at the time? Y'know...Yuko, Nacchi, Maki, Kaori, Atsuko Inaba, Michiyo Heike. How awesome would that have been?
 
Thanks, Banana.
 
And please read my blog entry, y'all.
 
Thanks.

[MejraThea]

I have an important issue here. Does anyone know if there was a picture of just Ai, like this picture? The suit and all, but just Ai 
 

[TicTacAnyone]

Here you go bud
 
 

 
Or shoot, do you mean when she had blonde hair? I'll keep looking

[Anderei]

I want to say that was a photoshoot that was included in some sort of book/magazine but I can't remember specifically which one. Maybe Hello!Channel.
 
Edit: I googled Hello!Channel, picked a random volume number, and was rewarded for my efforts on the first try.

 
Hello!Channel volume 5. If you're lucky there might be scans of it on the internet somewhere.

[MejraThea]

The blonde hair itself was not all that important, but now that I know such a photo exists I will desperately search for it. Thank you!
 
And thank you, Anderei!
 
/Edit: Found it on CDJapan!

[arcobaleno]

The way Dawa looks in that suit keeps sending me into uncontrollable fits of giggles because it just so...
 
So...
 
Something.
 
As "holy-god-wow" as Maimi and Ai look, Dawa just makes me laugh.

[TicTacAnyone]

I found them right before they changed, but no beans on the suits
