Lol  Happy Birthday Anderei!

[MejraThea]

Haha, Yes! Congratulations on celebrating another year from your birth.

[arcobaleno]

Hey, I share Koharu's birthday 5 years later (still have issues with this horribleness), add me to the important list, too :P
 
But kidding~ happy birthday, Anderei!

[Madara]

Thanks for taking up the slack, Anderei. I'm  sightseeing in Paris (following the Berikyu event) and not able to get on a computer that often. (I'm using the hotel computer.)
 
Happy B'day to you, Anderei! Too bad I didn't know. I would've gotten C-ute and Berryz to sing Happy B'day for you!
 
I did my first post on the trip over in the C-ute Paris thread and I'll write more when I get back and share some pics.
 
They did a birthday thing for Maasa at the concert and I got that on video.
 
 

[Madara]

Well this is my birth month, so I'd better be on the case this time. (Next Wed. Aug. 6)
 
Today is Ayaka Wada's 20th birthday. Happy Birthday, Ayaka! (I don't remember her nickname.)
Too bad she wasn't in Paris with Berryz and C-ute. She could have joined me at the Musee d'Orsay to check out the huge gallery of impressionists on the fifth floor, her art history specialty, as I understand.
 
Here are the August birthdays in my file. All heavy hitters in this batch.
 
August 1, 1994:          Ayaka Wada (20) S/mileage
August 3, 1993:          Yurina Kumai (21) Berryz
August 5, 1998:          Kanon Suzuki (16) Morning Musume
August 8, 1981:          Kaori Iida (33) ex-MM
August 10, 1981:        Natsumi Abe (33) ex-MM
August 25, 1992:        Miyabi Natsuyaki (22) Berryz
August 28, 1979:        Yuki Maeda (35) soloist
 
 
I'm sure Anderei will pick up the slack with new ones.

Mari turned 32 today (Jan. 20), Rika turned 30 yesterday (Jan. 19) and over the weekend, Momoe Yamaguchi turned 56 on Jan. 17. I happened to be watching the first disc of Momoe's TV appearances on "Yoru no Hit Studio" on Saturday when I realized I was watching it on her birthday. What a happy coincidence.

[Anderei]

Madara, you do know that S/mileage and Angerme are the same group right? It's weird that you put Kanon and Maho under different group names.

[Madara]

In my mind, they're still two completely different groups. The most recent S/mileage concert I've seen (and the latest thing from them I have) still has the main six members and not the new girls. So to me the new girls and the new name are kind of an abstract concept that hasn't quite penetrated my fandom.      
 
 
 
 

[Shoujo Q]

New Kenshuusei have Profiles up and the newest trainee's birthday happens to be tomorrow. So add another one to the March List.
